Little Caesars is a pizza restaurant chain in the United States. It is estimated to be the 4th largest pizza chain in the United States.[1] The company claims to be the largest carry-out pizza chain in the world.[2] It was founded by Mike Ilitch and Marian Ilitch in 1959 in Garden City, Michigan, as "Little Caesars Pizza Treat." The company is famous for its advertising catchphrase, "Pizza! Pizza!" which was introduced in 1979. The phrase refers to two pizzas being offered for the comparable price of a single pizza from competitors. Originally the pizzas were served in a single long package. Little Caesars has discarded the unwieldy packaging in favor of typical pizza boxes. Image File history File links Little-Caesars-Logo. ...
