Little Caesars Pizza — Restaurant in Town of Cicero

Little Caesar’s has long been a contender in the fast-food pizza market, but my recent experience has left me questioning how they maintain any reputation at all. From the moment I walked into the store, I could sense that something was off. The ambiance was lackluster, with dim lighting and an unsettling quietness that felt more like a waiting room than a bustling pizza joint.

As I placed my order, I couldn’t help but notice the disinterested demeanor of the staff. They seemed overwhelmed, even though there were only a few customers. When I finally received my pizza, I eagerly anticipated a cheesy, saucy slice, but what I was handed was a disappointment.

Upon opening the box, I was greeted by the sight of what could only be described as a sad, lifeless pizza. The crust was a pale shade of beige and appeared overly dry, lacking any appealing golden-brown hue. It seemed more like a cardboard disc than a freshly baked pizza. The lack of any visible toppings was alarming; it looked like the cheese had decided to play hide and seek, with the sauce merely providing a faint hint of flavor.

Once I took my first bite, I was met with a harsh reality: the pizza was overwhelmingly dry. The crust crumbled under the slightest pressure, but not in a flaky, enjoyable way. Instead, it was a desiccated, parched texture that made me feel like I was chewing on a piece of stale bread. I was left longing for a hint of moisture, perhaps a drizzle of buttery garlic sauce or even some well-seasoned toppings to rescue my taste buds from the drudgery of such a dull pizza.

The cheese—if you could even call it that—was rubbery and had congealed into an unimpressive layer, lacking any real flavor or stretchiness that one would hope for in a pizza. It felt like a poor imitation of what cheese should be. My experience was akin to eating a pizza that had spent far too much time in a hot oven, evaporating any potential flavor and moisture.

The sauce, too, was a letdown. It was almost non-existent, a ghostly whisper of tomato flavor that failed to penetrate the overall dry experience. For a pizza, sauce is everything—it adds the needed moisture and a burst of flavor. Instead, I found myself yearning for the rich, zesty tomato taste I expect from a decent pizza.

It’s disheartening to see how a chain that prides itself on being “hot and ready” could so easily compromise on quality. I’ve had pizza from takeout places and mom-and-pop shops that have made my soul sing, but this experience left me feeling parched and dissatisfied.

To add insult to injury, the pricing seemed vaguely high for such a subpar product. While fast food can often save you a few bucks in exchange for quality, the imbalance here felt excessive. Sure, it’s cheap, but I find it hard to believe that they couldn’t invest a little more in ingredients that wouldn't leave customers feeling like they were chewing on a piece of dry parchment.

In conclusion, Little Caesar’s experience is one I hope to forget, but the memory of their bone-dry pizza will linger on my taste buds for some time. Between the lackluster atmosphere, apathetic service, and the overly dry pizza, I can't recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying meal. If you’re in the mood for pizza, save your money and go elsewhere. There are plenty of other establishments that understand the fundamentals of quality pizza and that know how to take care of their customers. Little Caesar's is a glaring reminder that sometimes you really do get what...

The tightest Little Caesars ever. This is definitely the worst Little Caesars I have ever dined at, bar none. As a Little Caesars addict for over a decade, and a person who absolutely loves the food there, it simply isn't possible for me to rate the restaurant 1 star. Despite the food quality actually being lower at this restaurant than at other Little Caesars around the country, the pizza is still too good for me to give a 1 star.

However, the ownership and the way the restaurant is managed ensured that I will never dine at this particular restaurant ever again. They simply never meet any of my requests, and have been gradually increasing their prices to be significantly higher than the price of other Little Caesars around the country. The final straw was today, when I ordered a Slices-N-Stix, since that is the only menu option surviving the insane price hikes its new ownership has been constantly commanding. Now, the website app doesn't let you customize a Slices-N-Stix apparently. Sure, shouldn't be a problem for a group of real human beings working at a real store, right? Apparently that's wrong too. They are so desperate to charge you more money for their pizza that if you call and ask them to just make it without pepperoni, they gotta charge for that, too. Alright, whatever. Just do it. Apparently they can't add the charge to my online order and can't just give me an extra charge to my debit card when I walk into the store to make up the difference. You'd think given this hassle and inconvenience they'd just do it for me, wouldn't you? Of course not. The ownership and management is so obsessed with nickeling and diming their customers that they refuse.

What ever happened to "Give 'em the pickle"? Even when I'm trying to get them to give me less, they still won't do it without upcharging me. Guess whoever's training the employees at this particular store chose not to show them that video. Mr. Farrell...

First time visiting this location and it will definitely be my last!! I never really eat at little ceasers but my son wanted it so we got it. Arrived 5 minutes before it said it was supposed to be ready and still waited 30 MINUTES ON TOP OF THAT TO GET MY FOOD. People ordering at the register after I arrived got their food before me!! Telling everyone that there's a 20 minute wait for pizza is insane! Got my food FINALLY, drive 5 minutes back home and my pizza was literally ice cold and breadsticks were white and still doughy. (Pizza wasn't even cut so it was ripped to shreds). Everything was inedible and went into the garbage! And on top of that, me and my son have been in and out of the bathroom since eating this food. Disgusting! Manager on shift was great and refunded my money since we...
