Little Caesars/Blue Line Distribution

Little Caesars, founded in 1959 by Mike and Marian Ilitch, is a prominent American multinational pizza chain headquartered in Detroit, Michigan. Over the decades, it has grown to become the third-largest pizza chain in the United States. It operates thousands of locations across the country and internationally.

Product Offerings

Little Caesars is renowned for its innovative service models, notably the HOT-N-READY® pizzas, available for immediate carry-out without the need to place an order in advance. This concept emphasizes convenience and speed, catering to customers seeking quick meal solutions.

The menu features a variety of pizzas, including classic options like the 3 Meat Treat® and the Veggie. Specialty items such as the Deep! Deep! Dish Pizza, a Detroit-style deep-dish pizza introduced in 2013, are also available.

Complementing the pizza offerings, Little Caesars provides a range of sides and desserts. The Crazy Bread®, introduced in 1982, is a popular side consisting of breadsticks topped with garlic and parmesan cheese.

Other sides include Caesar Wings®, Italian Cheese Bread, and various dipping sauces. For dessert, customers can enjoy items like Cinnamon Crazy Bites and brownies.

Global Presence

As of 2025, Little Caesars operates over 4,203 locations across the United States and in select international markets.

These markets include:

• Canada
• Mexico
• Several countries in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East

The brand's international expansion reflects its commitment to delivering quality and convenience to a global audience.

Community Engagement

Beyond its business operations, Little Caesars is dedicated to community service through initiatives like the Little Caesars Love Kitchen, a mobile kitchen that serves pizza to those in need, including during natural disasters.

Established in 1985, the Love Kitchen has served over 2 million individuals in the United States and Canada.

Recent Developments

In December 2024, private equity firm Bain Capital entered into discussions to acquire Sizzling Platter, the operator of several restaurant franchises, including Little Caesars, for over $1 billion.

This potential acquisition underscores the brand's significant presence and value in the fast-food industry.
