Little Caesars Pizza, Fast food pizzeria in Iztapalapa, Mexico.
Little Caesars Pizza is a takeout pizzeria located in the Iztapalapa borough of Mexico City, part of a large American chain. The menu covers several pizza styles, including Supreme, Hawaiian, Deep Dish, and 3 Meat Treat, along with sides like Crazy Bread.
The chain was founded in 1959 by Mike and Marian Ilitch in Detroit as a small carry-out pizza shop. From that single location, it grew into one of the largest pizza chains in the world, eventually opening locations across Mexico.
The Hot-N-Ready concept, where pizzas are ready to grab without ordering ahead, is the main draw for regulars in this part of Iztapalapa. Crazy Bread, a soft garlic bread sold by the piece, is the side item most customers add to their order.
Many pizzas are kept ready at the counter throughout the day, so stopping by without a prior order works well for common menu items. For less common options or larger orders, calling ahead or ordering online gives better results.
The name Little Caesars started as a nickname that Marian Ilitch used for her husband Mike, and it became the official brand name of the chain. The cartoon Roman emperor used as the mascot is a direct reference to that personal nickname.
