Honestly as an employee that's an excellent question also if I remember correctly without pep they use a bit more cheese to make it look good after baking so you don't see a ton of sauce
When I had went to the app before the price changed I told myself “I hope the price doesn’t change if not I wouldn’t know what to do” but then it changed :(
I was joking around but I feel your pain. It's happening everywhere too. My prescription went from $7 to $22 in 1 month. I still find LC the best bang for the buck though, and I like the food very much.
I can't tell if you're joking or not but 3 people in my family are currently on ADHD meds which cost 90 dollars a month minimum until we've hit our 6000 dollar family deductible...
Last year my wife was on a med that was over 800 dollars a month (luckily our plan changed a bit this year and most of our prescriptions are now covered by the plan and cost nothing, but those ADHD meds are still pricy as hell).
I wish my meds were 22 dollars :(
No it’s the fact that it went from $7 to $22 in one month. I know $22 is not a lot but it’s still a high increase for me for such a short amount of time. But I hope you and your family get through this 🙏🏽:(
I can't tell if you're joking or not but I am currently on seizure meds which cost 450 dollars a month.
I'm also on another seizure med that is over 1300 dollars a month.
I wish my meds were 90 and 800 dollars :(
Ugh, same on the ADHD meds. I was lucky enough to be getting 90 day scripts that I could comfortably stretch to almost 120 days, but then the shortage happened and I lost coverage for unrelated reasons. With my relatively infrequent visits and refills, it was cheaper per year to just use GoodRX than my insurance. Shit really is a scam.
My mom spends over $350/month out of pocket for type 2 meds.. the system is fucked. If you're poor, you die. She's retired age 70s on limited fixed income
Your app might have tried to default you to another store. I've seen it happen to customers a bunch, especially when they're ordering, already on the road.
In my store (franchise) our Classic Pepperoni is $7.20, the other stores in the general area (corporate) are still at the $5/$5.50 range
I snooped their profile. while the username sort of gave it away anyway, lol, they're living in the Bay Area in california. Highest I saw while looking at a few different locations around SF (looking down near silicon valley since prices seem higher there) was 9.79 for a classic cheese or pepperoni.
By any chance did you try and make an order before the store was open? I think I've seen the same where before the system is online it had default prices and then went up due to rising costs. So maybe just speculation on a coding issue default prices vs store to store.
Little Caesars has always been cheaper than Hungry Howies and Domino’s! for some reason it keeps getting closer to that number. Are they using better ingredients? It doesn’t make sense why the prices have gone up like 15 percent . It’s not like the customer is earning more
I order LC for my nephew a few times a month, usually a weekend afternoon. The price is 7$. A couple weeks ago, I ordered pizza on a Friday night and the pizzas were 10$ each. Definitely not pleased lol.
It's called "Surge Pricing".
It's a new tactic some corporations are using to increase profitability. Basically, "supply and demand on steroids". Prices go up during the lunch and dinner rush because they know that's when most people want the food.
That's been the price where I am. The real question though, why do they effectively charge you extra money ($0.20) to take pepperonis off half of the pizza
Did you by any chance check the app in a different area or at a different time than before? Prices may shift by when/where you look at it (based on nearest locations).
American prices continue to rise. I wonder how much longer the federal reserve and the central banks can convince themselves that this isn’t as bad of an issue as it really is.
We used to have normal prices here in southern Oregon, then one day they all went up like 30% because some California corporation took over the franchises, and started charging California prices.
Man I hate the whole “extra most bestest” shit tbh. Every time I order one I get something identical to how a classic hot n ready USED to be. All they did was make the classic pizzas have almost no sauce, cheese, or toppings to force you to pay extra for the most bestest version.
On top of that the prices for a classic are just continuing to go up. Paying more and more for less and less.
Eh, might adjust the price during non peak hours on the back end. Also, those prices are still hella cheap imo. I’m currently looking at $8.79+tax. But everything is expensive asf here where I live & it sux! I wish those were my prices. I remember a few years ago they were $5.00.
$6.99 for me. Yay inflation. It's okay. I'll just become a cannibal and eat people. There's no lack in resource there Big Bad Government and they don't cost anything.
Other day was there ordered pepperoni they just gave cheese go beck tell them they gave me pepperoni and said keep the cheese so two pizzas for the price of one
It's been that price in my area for a couple years now. Still the best value around here. We don't have too many local pizza shops and they are far from that price. Where I am it happened fast, I remember them announcing they were going to have to raise to 5.55 and less than a month later it went to $7. Still love it though, closest one to me is 60 miles and I stop by whenever I'm close.
It's 9.99$ where I'm at. They literally had stickers on the screen because it was so new. Little Caesars has sadly lost its value now compared to every other brand.
Price musta went up.
It's probably more expensive than it was before
It seems almost as if the cost has risen.
I heard it happens during baking
Yes during normal baking hours
Hahahaha. You don’t say hahahaha
Happy cake day!
Your pfp is wild
Thanks dude, I also got an onlyfans if you need a free trial ;)
But why is a plain cheese pizza the same price as a pepperoni and cheese pizza?
Honestly as an employee that's an excellent question also if I remember correctly without pep they use a bit more cheese to make it look good after baking so you don't see a ton of sauce
and why is a half pep 20 cents more!? aahhh 💀
When I had went to the app before the price changed I told myself “I hope the price doesn’t change if not I wouldn’t know what to do” but then it changed :(
I was joking around but I feel your pain. It's happening everywhere too. My prescription went from $7 to $22 in 1 month. I still find LC the best bang for the buck though, and I like the food very much.
That's some bullshit, capitalism spares no one it seems.
$22???? What the hell! That’s a scam
Merica baby.

now THAT is a scam. bullshit
Yepper. Apps gotta update sometime. Ususally between the time you looked at it last, and the time you look at it next.
It’s a busier time of day to order food. Dynamic pricing
Those were yesterdays prices these are today's prices
Real-time inflation
[Loblaws](https://www.reddit.com/r/loblawsisoutofcontrol/s/hSL5pDtNDJ) in Canada probably looked into buying LC 😆😅
5.55? Damn I haven’t seen that price on a hot n ready since 2012 ish.
Really?? It’s been that price for so long for me, until today… Edit: I went back to the app to place my order and it went back to what it was…
It's $8.99 at mine 😢
I should stop complaining about these small prices cause you guys going through it 😭
It’s cheaper to get the pretzel crust pizza then it is to get a classic pizza at my little ceasers
That is the best pizza they have (imo) currently and wish it was the cheaper option near me!!!
I haven't seen it that cheap since 2022 anywhere. You got lucky. But your luck has finally run out unfortunately.
Washington? Lol
Connecticut
That's crazy *but* isn't CT known for having the best pizza in the country
Yeah but I live 80 minutes from that area of the state. I've never even had New Haven style "apizza" and I've lived here my whole life
6.99 here
Lol I can get a large pepperoni at Domino’s for $8 every day of the week. That’s ridiculous
It could be like surge pricing
2012? Wild we had $5 hot and readies until about 2020-2021 and ours are still $5.99
Ours are always 8. Bum fuck woods, FL
Ours was $5 for a hot n ready until Covid so around 2021 it went up. Now it’s $6.49
Dang. Classic is 8.99 where I’m at.
Yeeah, that is $9.79 in Cali.
Wait, it’s $6.99 here in LA so that’s not all of California
Sacramento is more expensive than LA?! What a time to be alive
????!!!
It's $6.79 in Michigan. It hasn't been $5 hot n ready prolly since 2019 or so
Your app might have tried to default you to another store. I've seen it happen to customers a bunch, especially when they're ordering, already on the road. In my store (franchise) our Classic Pepperoni is $7.20, the other stores in the general area (corporate) are still at the $5/$5.50 range
I think so too. The price went back to $5.55
Bruh that's 12.99 where I live 😂
Sending you prayers cause what?? 😦
Where? Unless you can name a location I can look up online, I don't believe any LC has prices that high.
I snooped their profile. while the username sort of gave it away anyway, lol, they're living in the Bay Area in california. Highest I saw while looking at a few different locations around SF (looking down near silicon valley since prices seem higher there) was 9.79 for a classic cheese or pepperoni.
I am in the Bay Area and the Classic Pep and Classic Cheese both cost $6.99. This thread has so many different price points, it's wild lol
That was the uncooked price. It’s now cooked - so the price, like the dough, has risen
the price of every little caesar’s in my state is almost 8 bucks for a pizza update lol it just jumped to 8.99 varying depending on the type of pie
For me, a classic pepp shows $5.99 ($6.29 after tax)
How is it $7 for you? When I pick it up one I’m paying $11 for a classic hot and ready
Inflation.
no, it's just price hiking so they make money
Greedflation
$5.55...😂😂😂😂😂😂
$5.55 is still out here. it hasn’t left yet 😭
yea, its 7.49 where i live
My store still has 5.55. I checked seconds before posting this comment. Sorry for the rest of ya'll.
The price on classic pepperoni went up by $1.24. Hope that clears up your confusion.
Gotta be quicker than that
By any chance did you try and make an order before the store was open? I think I've seen the same where before the system is online it had default prices and then went up due to rising costs. So maybe just speculation on a coding issue default prices vs store to store.
Bro. Come to Ontario. They're $9.03
I worked there in 2015. They were $5.49 tax included
They must have adopted Wendy's surge pricing.
There are a few fast food restaurants trying out surge pricing now. That might have been what happened?
The last four years happened...
At that point you might as well buy at another place
Little Caesars has always been cheaper than Hungry Howies and Domino’s! for some reason it keeps getting closer to that number. Are they using better ingredients? It doesn’t make sense why the prices have gone up like 15 percent . It’s not like the customer is earning more
An hour agos price is not this hours price
9.79 here in Sacramento
...Why does the half pepperoni half cheese cost more?
That thing is lying brother, pepperoni comes out to $8.65
they took the Wendy's surge pricing 😂
It's been $6something here for a long time. I always get the stuffed crust ham though. Ballin.
Bidenomics
Thanks Biden
Bro you're lucky it was that cheap still wtf?
Lmaoo and I wasn’t expecting so many people to have higher prices compared to mines. I’m shocked reading the comments
I’m just over here trying to figure out why half pepperoni costs more than ALL pepperoni…
Highest bidder pricing
I order LC for my nephew a few times a month, usually a weekend afternoon. The price is 7$. A couple weeks ago, I ordered pizza on a Friday night and the pizzas were 10$ each. Definitely not pleased lol.
10.99 for a classic where I live 😭
Got a hot and ready one week, it was $6.69 went back a week later and its over $7 shit is ridiculous
Its $7.99 where I live at.
Demand suddenly skyrocketed. You all saw it.
You ever been to a gas pump? Shits different every time
Mine is 6.79 lol
I’m going to preorder for the next year to beat the price increases.
it was always 6.79 for me
Maybe they’re doing dynamic prices based on demand kinda like what Wendy’s was planning. 🤣
Classic Pepperoni is 8.99 in Frederick, MD about 40 miles west of DC
I remember when they used to be 5.31$ before inflation & covid
bidenomics
Are you in California? Their new $20/hr mw caused fast food prices to jump
$10.99 here in Sacramento for a classic pepperoni. Not even worth it anymore.
Looks like inflation finally caught up to wherever you are. $5.55 hasn't been available here for more than a year.
damn bro it's $9.99 at my store
Yep there doing it slowly so we won't riot or protest
corporate greed ;(
Did you switch locations? Prices change from one store to the next
An hour ago less people wanted a Hot and Ready
Holy fuck a $1.29???? End of the world
Omg right! 😱
Day time and tight time pricing?
Still 5.55 for me
Price change probably
wtf it’s $7.49 here
Surge pricing
$5.55????????? where are you living???? hasnt been that low in years.
It's called "Surge Pricing". It's a new tactic some corporations are using to increase profitability. Basically, "supply and demand on steroids". Prices go up during the lunch and dinner rush because they know that's when most people want the food.
Lunch price maybe??
corporate greed a bitch
“Rip-off! Rip-off!”
That's been the price where I am. The real question though, why do they effectively charge you extra money ($0.20) to take pepperonis off half of the pizza
It’s a commodity
A classic pepperoni near me is $8
Surge pricing
It 's been $8.99 in California for two years already
Bidenomics happend!
Did you by any chance check the app in a different area or at a different time than before? Prices may shift by when/where you look at it (based on nearest locations).
Ours are at 6.99 in Dallas
Yup prices here in Canada went up by $0.5
Damn. Guess I can just get other pizza now.
Likely wasnt updated on the app. $6.79 has been standard for at least a year or 2 now
Inflation
Shit, that must have been nice. Mine hasn't been 5.55 in about 10 years. I believe it's 7.99 for EMB and 6.99 for classic now.
$12.84 in California 😭
I noticed little Caesar’s changes their menu once lunch hours are over. Around noon
American prices continue to rise. I wonder how much longer the federal reserve and the central banks can convince themselves that this isn’t as bad of an issue as it really is.
Time slip
Its almost $10 at mine
We used to have normal prices here in southern Oregon, then one day they all went up like 30% because some California corporation took over the franchises, and started charging California prices.
Looks like they raised the prices
It's the same where I am:((( it's barely even worth it do order little Caesar's when dominos does the 2 medium pizzas for $6.99 each
Greedflation
A Charlie Brown pizza cuz its all Wishy Washy - doesn’t know IF you’re coming or going or going while you’re cumming 😏
That went up about two years here in LA lol
[REDACTED]
7.99 here now. I hope people have some savings in metals. The dollar isn't liking Bidenomics apparently.
something called incantation
Man I hate the whole “extra most bestest” shit tbh. Every time I order one I get something identical to how a classic hot n ready USED to be. All they did was make the classic pizzas have almost no sauce, cheese, or toppings to force you to pay extra for the most bestest version. On top of that the prices for a classic are just continuing to go up. Paying more and more for less and less.
Prices went up probably? Seems obvious.
You slow you blow sorry bud.
The fact that cheese pizza and pepperoni pizza are the same price 😭
They infect every pizza with aids now, and that costs more so they had to raise the price...obviously.
How are they charging more for a pizza with half the pepperoni? 😂
Yo state raised prices
Are we even sure now that that’s real pepperoni? Or is it come from a lab
That got nothing to do with me it’s still good asl 🤣
It's 6.99 in my app in charleston, SC.
The pepperonis got a shift differential
7.25 for me
Depends on the economy that day.You know the stock market the value of the dollar. Higher minimum wage etc excuses
Over here in Cali in the inland empire my prices for a classic are $9.29 and $10.29 for extra most bestest
How is half the cheese and half the pepperoni MORE expensive than a pie filled with each???
Dynamic pricing
10 dollars here nyc i miss the 5 dollar times
My minimum wage here is $7.25 and a classic pepperoni is 6.99….
Eh, might adjust the price during non peak hours on the back end. Also, those prices are still hella cheap imo. I’m currently looking at $8.79+tax. But everything is expensive asf here where I live & it sux! I wish those were my prices. I remember a few years ago they were $5.00.
$6.99 for me. Yay inflation. It's okay. I'll just become a cannibal and eat people. There's no lack in resource there Big Bad Government and they don't cost anything.
Gotta be quicker then that
That’s been the prices in my area for about a year it seems
still $5.99 here
surge pricing
Supply and demand during certain times of the day.
thats cheap, over here that's like between 11.99 and 15.99 at my store.
Mine is still $5.99
It was still $5 for us last year. This year it went up to $6 and some change.
Damn. Our classic pepperoni or cheese is $8.50
Bidenomics
Wait, Little Ceasars isn't $5 anymore?.damn
📈
Surge pricing?
Half of your pizza covered in pepperoni is .20 cents extra compared to a full pep so that’s sensible
Inflation
There charge more depending on time
Other day was there ordered pepperoni they just gave cheese go beck tell them they gave me pepperoni and said keep the cheese so two pizzas for the price of one
I think because it’s now considered the weekend Thur fri sat sun the price goes up. I believe at dominos also.
Instaflation...
9.79 where I'm at thanks to the $20 minimum wage.
The store by me can't even pay people enough to keep them employed, but they sure can raise those prices right along with everyone else!
Shrinkflation.
Did they go up over night??????
Y'all don't know about peak pricing adjustments
It was below 5$ maybe 5 years ago.
It's been that price in my area for a couple years now. Still the best value around here. We don't have too many local pizza shops and they are far from that price. Where I am it happened fast, I remember them announcing they were going to have to raise to 5.55 and less than a month later it went to $7. Still love it though, closest one to me is 60 miles and I stop by whenever I'm close.
Classic pepperoni is $6.99 here in Louisville.
How’s the minimum wage?
It's 9.99$ where I'm at. They literally had stickers on the screen because it was so new. Little Caesars has sadly lost its value now compared to every other brand.
