Last time I've had Little Caesar's pizza was at the Pizza Station at Kmart in Scarborough, ME.  A location that closed in December 1995.

I had Little Caesars yesterday! good stuff

Can't we all just get along? I've seen all kinds of crazy things, but never a K-Cafe WITH a Little Ceasar's. You can get cafe food and the delicious pizza up in this thing. AWESOME. Located in the almost defunct Parkway Center Mall near Pittsburgh

Wow I wish we still had a Little Caesars in the Webster, MA Kmart.  It closed almost 10 years ago!

We have a little Caesars right here on Second St. I was pretty happy to find that out. I hadn't eaten LCP since 1995 or so. I stopped in and got a cheese pizza..... It was NASTY crap in a box. They now make them hours ahead and toss them in a heat box to keep them warm. The receipe is nothing like what I remember at all.
Sadly LCP gets the :barf: award!!

I saw an ad on MONSTER.COM that Little Ceasers is looking to hire managers for their new Bristol, CT location. Bristol's Little Ceasers closed close to 20 years ago. It's been a local Italian Market since then. Nice to see they're coming back. Ceasers website doesn't have a Bristol location listed yet. Bristol will be the 3rd in CT. The other 2 being on The Berlin Turnpike in Wethersfield and the Southbury KMART.

Just enjoyed some yummy Little Caesars at the Luxor casino-hotel in Las Vegas.

The opened one in the former Papa Gino's location in the CorWest Plaza (Stop & Shop Plaza) on the corner of Corbin Avenue and West Main Street in New Britain, Connecticut.

There's a brand new Little Caesars on East Main St. where Quizno's used to be it's been quite a while since I've had a Little Caesars pizza. Are they still good or do they stink?

I happen to adhere to the notion that there's no such thing as bad pizza (though obviously some pizzas are better than others.)  Still, if it's fresh out of the oven it's better than if it's been in the holding cabinet (http://download.partstown.com/is-bin/intershop.static/WFS/Reedy-PartsTown-Site/-/en_US/manuals/CRE-H138NPSCLC_spm.pdf) for a while.  They have a hard and fast limit as to how long they will continue to hold already-baked pizzas, which I turned to my advantage one night as they were about to close - I got the "old" pizza and a new one for the price of one!  I stock up on their gift certificate bonus offer each Christmas and buy a year's worth in advance - I end up paying only about $4/pizza all year long.  Try and get a guaranteed 20% return on your money any other way these days...

After having a fairly stable roster of locations in Maine, Little Caesars has expanded rapidly of late. Greater Portland has three locations now (the original Pine Tree location, Scarborough near Walmart, and now Northgate in Portland.) Both Lewiston and Auburn have stores (competitor Papa John's consolidated its Auburn and Lewiston locations years ago) and Topsham and Bath serve the Bath-Brunswick market. I wonder if we're about to see a return to the bad old days of the 90s when LC over-expanded and exited entire regions of the country. There can't be huge margins in selling $5 large pizzas.

I'm seeing a ton of Little Caesars commercials lately.  I remember back in the mid 90's there was a LC in Norwich, CT.  But that has been long gone.

Saturday Night Live did a spoof a few nights ago of the Clint Eastwood Super Bowl Ad, but at the end the ad was for Little Caesars instead of Chrysler(btw, wow did I just have a hard time spelling that correctly)

Yeah they making a comeback. A new one just opened at 894 N. Colony Road (Route 5) in Wallingford, CT.

Little Caesars was open in Albany NY I went there a few times but couldn't get there very much because it was on the other side of town. when I finally went back it had closed I really wish they'd open another one in my local area I know about 6 places that would be perfect to open one. Why can't they re-establish some relationship with K-mart or something.

[buzz86us]

new Little Caesars is opening in Albany on central ave in the plaza in front of Home Depot and there is one open in a pretty obscure location in Schenectady

[ynkeesfn82]

I picked up one of the $5 specials a few months ago from their New Britain, CT location. Wasn't the best and wasn't the worst of the chain pizza restaurants. The sauce was a little spicy and the pizza was a little gummy.

[Pikapower]

Does anyone remember when Little Caesar's used have those "surprise packs" for kids?

[bubcolbert1952]

What's weird is that when a Mobil station near me changed to Valero, the Burger King attached to the Mobil closed, sat empty for a time, but then a Little Caesar's opened at the site. Also, a former Blockbuster next to a Safeway became a Little Caesar's, but I was thinking Starbucks would open at the Blockbuster site, because the Safeway has a very popular Starbucks inside (which does a ton of business even though the Safeway is always otherwise dead) that would probably want to move to a freestanding site if the Safeway closed.

Little Caesar's recently re-entered the Pittsburgh market.
They were here in the late 80's and suddenly disappeared.
There are now 3 stores reasonably close to my home.

Not the best pizza, but for five bucks I certainly can't complain.
I did notice that unless you go at the dinner hour they generally are
not "hot and ready" though.

The pizza business in this town is cutthroat.  Hundreds of mom-and-pop
shops, many run by Italian families with very authentic recipes.

Little Caesar's has just announced that they would be building a new eight-story corporate headquarters building in downtown Detroit, with an enclosed pedestrian bridge over Columbia Street connecting it to the Fox Theater, which, like Little Caesar's, is owned by Mike Illitch.

Little Caesar's has somehow managed to stay afloat here in Michigan, as TenPoundHammer said on the first page, even when they've pulled out of other markets.

[zonemad96]

Has anyone tried the pretzel pizza? It's not too bad but the cheese sauce gets overwhelming quick.

[Ameskid]

Noticed a placard in my local LC's: "Use of photography, video, or audio equipment to record LCE colleagues, customers and stores is strictly prohibited." Anyone else have a notice like this in their nearby location?

[giantsfan2016]

There is still no Little Caesar's in Southington or Bristol Connecticut. Back in the day both towns had one. The one in Bristol was free-standing location on Route 6 that closed in 1988 or 1989 and spent over 20 years as and Italian Market and Deli. Now it's a Japanese Restaurant called Bonsai. Southington hasn't had one since they closed the one inside of KMART. That was a long time ago too. KMART has been Price Chopper for 13 years and KMART closed in 02 or 03. Both towns have empty Pizza Hut carry-out locations where a Little Caesar's can go.

For the second time LC has left the troubled plaza. Are more closures on the way? Edit 2/17: LC now says that the abrupt closure is because of unsuccessful rent negotiations with the landlord. Here are a couple of pics of the closed location:
