as stated above, plenty in michigan. $5 for a large can feed two hungry people. good eats for cheap. not the best pizza, but when it's hot and gooey, i can't complain.

Ask for extra butter and parmesan. The one thing I really miss about working there was being able to make my own pizzas and crazy bread. It's 10x better when you can make it how you like it.

I have two within a mile radius. Only thing close to their $5 pizza is Costco's 18" pizza pie for $10. Both are mmmm..

Costco pizza is good stuff if they cook it. We tried their take and bake and it turned out nasty. We followed the directions and it wasn't overcooked, but the crust got really really hard.

Out in the here in california (east bay) the little caesars used to be good back in the 80's then their pizza got really cheap and low quality. They often run specials now for 2 medium pizza for like 5 bucks and they are super nasty. They've earned the nick name of little sleazers

They disappeared for a while in my town, but they just came back a year or two ago, I think.

I'm not big fan of Little Caesars, but as long as Ilitch keeps pumping money into the Tigers and Red Wings I'll be happy.

Used to be one right around the corner from me. Now there's an even better pizza place. Too bad it only took like 8-10 years for them to replace it. There's still one in Lodi.

1. Papa Johns
2. Little Caesars
3. Pizza Hut
4. Dominos

a buddy of mine was fired from there after he gave away too many pizzas away for free to girls who would flash him at the drive through.

Round Table is the worst pizza around. The crust tastes like the 99 cent frozen pizzas.
Pizza Hut > * (chains, that is)

That pizza is horrible. Edible, but not 'good'. I give them credit for bringing Breadsticks into the main stream. Only thing I like there. And as poster above, their dough is really bready and dry.

... Mellow Mushroom and Uno's made some good pizza and are still a chain.

PapaJohn's takes my vote for the fastfood pizza

There's one a couple blocks over, never had any from there though. In fact, the last and only time I've had their pizza was 12 or so years ago. Don't really remember if I liked it or not.

Used to be good. Now all the Indians own Little Caesers around here and it's the worst thing ever
