Frequently Asked Questions

The straight answers, updated for the current menu.

Why do prices change from store to store?

Around 86% of Little Caesars stores are franchise-owned, and each owner sets their own prices. The same ExtraMostBestest® Pepperoni has been seen at $7.99 in one city and $10.99 in another, 45 miles apart. There is no single national price list, so every price in this Little Caesars FAQ is an honest range from real stores.

Is the $5 pizza still available?

No, the famous $5 Hot-N-Ready deal is gone. A Classic Pepperoni costs $6.99-$7.99 at most stores today.

What time is Hot-N-Ready, and what’s on it?

Hot-N-Ready items are ready for walk-in pickup daily from 4pm to 8pm at most stores. The core lineup is the Classic Pepperoni, Classic Cheese and Crazy Bread®, no waiting, no ordering ahead.

What is the Lunch Combo?

Four slices of Detroit-Style Deep Dish pepperoni pizza plus a 20oz drink, for $5.99-$6.49 depending on the store. It runs Monday to Friday, 11am to 2pm only, and sits with the other structural offers on the deals page.

Can I build my own pizza?

Yes. Create Your Own starts with a round, thin, Detroit-style or stuffed base ($7.99-$15.99 depending on the base and store), then you add from 12 toppings: pepperoni, sausage, bacon, ham, beef, mushroom, onion, green pepper, black olives, pineapple, jalapeño and extra cheese.

Is there a gluten-free or vegan option?

There is no gluten-free crust in the US, and all bases contain wheat. The one reliable vegan build is an original or thin crust with red pizza sauce and vegetables, no cheese; Crazy Bread® without the parmesan also works. The Detroit-style crust contains butter flavor, so it isn’t vegan even without cheese.

Which promo codes actually work?

Most codes on coupon sites are expired or tied to one region or team. The codes most recently seen on the official deals page are 5OFF30 and DELIVERYDEAL: treat them as “try at checkout”, not guaranteed. The dependable savings are structural: the $9.99 value menu, Mix & Match, the Lunch Combo and app challenges. See the deals hub for every live deal.

How do I find the exact price near me?

Use the range here to know what’s fair, then confirm the exact figure in the Little Caesars app or at your local store. The price-checking method shows how the ranges on this site are built.
