Price increase alert! 📣

The next time you order from Little Caesars, don’t be surprised if your $5 Hot-N-Ready pizza is now a little more expensive.

The good news? The price isn’t rising for no reason. Little Caesars recently unveiled a “New and Improved” pepperoni pizza with 33% more pepperoni than before–hence the 11% price increase to $5.55.

*Note that pricing can vary by location.

This is the first price hike that Little Caesars has implemented in nearly 25 years. But even with that additional $0.55, the company still claims to sell pizza at the “country’s most affordable price” since competitors like Domino’s and Pizza Hut typically charge $13+ for a similar order.

To celebrate the new Hot-N-Ready pizza with extra pepperoni, we can expect Little Caesars to release promotions associated with the new item. It’s likely that these will vary widely by location, so be on the lookout for deals at your local restaurant and on the Little Caesars app.

    Ours increased the price to $5.55 months ago for the large pizzas and the cheesy bread went up to $4.99 from $4.

    Our hot n ready has been 5.99 for a few years, but just the other day I noticed it was 6.49!

    Yeah, ours sells the “extra most bestest” which is more expensive and has more toppings, instead of the hot n ready, and that’s been true for at least a year or more. You have to special order the hot n ready; they don’t have them just hot n ready, ironically. And we have two locations near us, and they have pretty different pricing at those two locations. So these comments totally make sense to me, and the bit about not having raised prices doesn’t, really 🤷🏽‍♀️

    Here in Oregon, it’s been $6 for awhile. With staffing shortages it takes about 30 minutes to get a “hot and ready” pizza.

    The price of pepperoni or cheese hadn’t gone up in Baton Rouge. The price of a hot-n-ready sausage went up to $6 several years ago.

    We are Domino’s fans. We get 2 5.99 medium pizzas for our family. Paired with a big (homemade) salad they will get us a meal, maybe a meal with leftovers for the kids the next day. The crust is so much better, and it actually sticks with you more than LC pizza does.

    We also like Sam’s Club pizza- $10 for a huge one, but with 4 kids it’s a little more work to walk in, order, wait, and get it from the cafe. We can’t seem to do phone orders for a whole pizza right now.

      If you are fortunate enough to have an Aldi’s near you, get their naan bread (packs of 4), some pizza sauce, cheese, and individual toppings and they are amazing slightly larger than individual-size pizzas. We love them.

      • Haley

        Oh I wish I had an ALDI near me! I live in the family capitol of the US (Utah), and we can’t seem to get an ALDI here.
        Our local grocery store does put naan on the bakery clearance rack often and I’ve done what you’ve described. It is amazing!

      Our small town only has Domino’s, and I’ll be honest, we always went to the next town to grab Papa John’s. I didn’t feel like driving once so we gave Domino’s a try, and it was SOOO good. Now, we order only from them. It might vary by restaurant, but our local one is Y-U-M!
