Little Caesars is bringing its pizza to customers' doors in 2020, rolling out nationwide delivery in the U.S. and Canada on Monday.
David Scrivano, president and CEO of Little Caesars, told Cheddar the new delivery system works through the company's app. A customer's order feeds directly to the store, which integrates with DoorDash as a third-party provider.
The driver then goes to the "pizza portal" heated locker box, types in a code, and takes the food.
"Little Caesars has been very, very successful with carry out, and the reason is customers get the best price," Scrivano said. "We have a hot and ready model where you can come in, pick up your pizza whenever you're ready, at the lowest price."
The delivery rollout comes after Little Caesars tested pizzas with Impossible Foods products in late 2019. Scrivano said the tests went "very well."
"It's on the docket for a possibility of an implementation in 2020," Scrivano said. "So, I look forward to that possibility. Consumers are moving in that direction and Little Caesars likes to go where the consumer is."
Other than plant-based meat, cloud or ghost kitchens are also becoming a big idea in the industry. The concept works by providing a space for restaurants to prepare food exclusively for delivery.
"We're looking into cloud kitchens," Scrivano said. "I think it's a great idea. You know, it's still in its infancy, so we have to see how it comes along over the course of time. But we're exploring that possibility, and maybe that'll pop up in the future."
Delivery is available on the Little Caesars app and website.

A Michigan judge is putting sponges in the hands of shoplifters and ordering them to wash cars in a Walmart parking lot when spring weather arrives. Genesee County Judge Jeffrey Clothier hopes the unusual form of community service discourages people from stealing from Walmart. The judge also wants to reward shoppers with free car washes. Clothier says he began ordering “Walmart wash” sentences this week for shoplifting at the store in Grand Blanc Township. He believes 75 to 100 people eventually will be ordered to wash cars this spring. Clothier says he will be washing cars alongside them when the time comes.
The State Department had been in talks with Elon Musk’s Tesla company to buy armored electric vehicles, but the plans have been put on hold by the Trump administration after reports emerged about a potential $400 million purchase. A State Department spokesperson said the electric car company owned by Musk was the only one that expressed interest back in May 2024. The deal with Tesla was only in its planning phases but it was forecast to be the largest contract of the year. It shows how some of his wealth has come and was still expected to come from taxpayers.
At 100 years old, the Goodyear Blimp is an ageless star in the sky. The 246-foot-long airship will be in the background of the Daytona 500 — flying roughly 1,500 feet above Daytona International Speedway, actually — to celebrate its greatest anniversary tour. Even though remote camera technologies are improving regularly and changing the landscape of aerial footage, the blimp continues to carve out a niche. At Daytona, with the usual 40-car field racing around a 2½-mile superspeedway, views from the blimp aptly provide the scope of the event.
You'll just have to wait for interest rates (and prices) to go down. Plus, this deal's a steel, the big carmaker wedding is off, and bribery is back, baby!
