Little Caesars Complaint - Discriminates against vegetarians - $5 Pizza
$5 Pizza - Complaint
They frequently have this program for $5. Pepperoni Pizza which is only for Meat Eaters. I would come in, tell them I am a Vegetarian and request they substitute Mushrooms for Pepperoni, they always did this from 1990 until 2006 which worked for me. I suggested they offer Pepperoni and Mushroom choices to accommodate Vegetarians & Meat Eaters. They never did, but they accommodated me.
Now, however, when I go there (since 2007) I am told ONLY PEPPERONI and that a Vegetarian Pizza would cost me $13.00, what a markup. I have tried this at several Little Caesars Pizza establishments, and no-one will substitute Mushrooms for Pepperoni.
LCP clearly discriminates against vegetarians. I refuse to ever shop at Little Caesars Pizza again because THEY ARE NOT VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY with their SPECIALS.
I urge all Vegetarians to Stand Up against the unfair practices of LCP and stop doing business with them until they offer specials to accommodate meat eaters & vegetarians. Boycott them until they do.

Perhaps the veggie ingredients cost more to them, hence they cannot provide it at the same price? I imagine they buy more pepperoni than any other ingredient, and hence they probably get a pretty good bulk discount.

aw Spart, are you going to cloud good drama with common sense?
Posted by Sparticus on 2007-10-31:
Sorry Ken... not sure what I was thinking... ;-)

I prefer sausage to pepperoni - they won't substitute for me either. I think they are also sausage-phobics.

Never liked Little Caesars. They all went out of business locally here. I wonder why?

Vegetarians unite! Take back what is not ours, death to the non-believers! The evil meat eaters are causing global warming and a bad smell, well unless you eat cabbage. But after all the Vegetarians are a special interest group and should protest against the making of plants illegal and LC is a good a place to start as any! Carry on dudes and dudets.(NH)

Your right lidman, next were gonna have "meat dealers" hanging out on every corner, wearing gold chains and driving cadillacs. "HEY, you wanna buy a nickel bag of salami?" I say KILL THE COWS NOW!

Little Ceasers is okay to me. My palates cannot tastes the difference between Pizza Hut, Papa's John, and Little Ceasers. They all taste the same to me according to my palates.

Most of these places do not even use real pepperoni, they use some fake form of pepperoni that is supposed to taste like pepperoni that's why they can sell it so cheap.
Hear, hear Lidman!

"Vegetarian" is an ancient Indian word, meaning "hunts lousy.

I'm from Massachusetts, vegetarians can marry each other here now.

When I get lazy I sometimes fall victim to the $5 pizza that has been sitting under a heater for 2 hours... It is not that bad... ;-)

"Do you accept this meatless man, as your husband, until such time, when he get's tired of your BS, and chomps down on a steak"?
Posted by MRM on 2007-10-31:
Thats right Sparticus, its not bad at all. Sometimes it tastes better than Pizza Hut or Papa John.

'Pepperoni Pizza which is only for Meat Eaters.' Whaaaaat? It's for crust eaters, cheese eaters, sauce eaters. The LCs in my area put all that stuff together at 9AM, stick it under the heat lamp, and by noon they're ready for the lunch crowd. Yummy.

This website sure has gone downhill and has become a playground for jerks.
What a joke.

Most of the time, fresh vegetables cost more than processed meat, so you get what you pay for.
Starlord, your comment totally cracked me up!

WhineX...I'm with you! Someone has to stand up for the mushrooms & boycott their slaughter! Tee hee!
Posted by carverlee on 2008-03-20:
Their "promotional" $5 pizzas are Pepperoni, Cheese (hmmmmm, there's an alternative) and Sausage in some locations. Any other pizza with ANY one topping is just .99 cents more. That's $5.99 for a mushroom pizza if that's what you want. True, a full VEGGIE pizza will cost you upwards of $12.00.
Posted by sunshine5179 on 2009-06-05:
I work at lcp have for basically 3 years. i work in texas so prices are slightly different. but the ones in my area its the normal price for ANY one topping. they might have thought u meant a veggie pizza which has more than just one topping so it does cost more. Im not sure exactly what they would have thought. But i dont blame you for wants to boycott. if they treated you like that and Im guessing it was more than one time.

I guess little caesars is okay after a hang over or after u burn a big fatty cause by then u can't tell where exactly the stomach cramps came from. LOL

i'm a meat eater myself
but on my pizzas i really don't like pepperoni, i can eat it but, eh. i'm more into onions & mushrooms
& for little ceaser's their banana pepper & mushroom is pretty good.
this is actually a company i've worked for - though it was 18 (maybe more now) years ago.. way back when it was mandatory buy-one-get-one free.
but i agree; there should be a meat-free option available. not just for vegetarians but also for customers who maintain a strict kosher diet (can't mix meats & milks).
i would also recommend contacting the corporation
and hope they give you a positive response

you know... i really have to get to my storage unit someday.
i think i MIGHT have a Little Ceaser's puppet in there.
Yeah, LC puppets. kinda cute really. They were promotional items back in 1990 or so.
come to think of it, i started work there when i was 16.. so o god it's been 20 years since started there, maybe 18 or so since i left
picked up a dislike of pizza dough smell from that job

It is easy to learn to dislike the food where you work, huh?
The kitchen smell(s) at the restaurants where I worked are still "fresh" on my mind.

Pepperoni cost less than anyother topping mushrooms are nearly double in price. 5 dollar pizzas are a promotional deal just to beat the compition. a Veggie pizza cost 9.74 in texas that still is a better price than anyother pizza place around
