DEEP! Dish Pizza"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"Little<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the years, competitors have come out swinging \u2013 stuffing crusts with hot dogs, creating delivery cars with pizza ovens, and paying Peyton Manning. <\/p>\n

Last year, Little Caesars tried to play ball with the <\/a>Bacon Wrapped Crust DEEP! DEEP! Dish Pizza. Dialing it back, Little Caesars\u2019 latest contribution to realm of ridiculous pizza innovation is their new Premium Stuffed Crust DEEP!DEEP! Dish Pizza. I\u2019ve learned from my day job that if you throw the adjective \u201cpremium\u201d in front of your product or offering, it\u2019s a sure win! <\/p>\n

Continuing to sip on my haterade, I conclude from the rectangular box that my pizza isn\u2019t round. What! Choqu\u00e9e! The box does proudly tout that Little Caesars is America\u2019s Favorite Detroit-Style Deep Dish Pizza. Detroit is home to a lot of great things like the Detroit Lions, so what could go wrong here? Kidding. <\/p>\n

Because Little Caesars is carry-out only, the eau d\u2019pizza had about 20 minutes to permeate my car. I\u2019ll give Little Caesars this – if they bottled the tantalizing pepperoni aroma, I\u2019d buy it. When I got home, I expect it to look as glorious as it smells but the squares look really plain, small, and sad. Product description reads: \u201cFour corners of perfection weren\u2019t enough, so we gave you eight!\u201d Honestly Little Caesars, I would\u2019ve been fine with one, good round pizza.<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/a><\/p>\n

While I can look past size, the pepperoni pieces were clearly just haphazardly thrown on. It looks like the one time I tried to play ring toss inebriated. I do appreciate that the pepperoni wasn\u2019t marinating in a puddle of oil like competitors\u2019 pepperoni pizzas. <\/p>\n

While the overall pizza is hardly as ooey-gooey as it is in the ads, two slices down and I\u2019m heavy breathing. I find myself feeling relieved that the cheese isn\u2019t molten lava because it’s as if an entire cheese wheel was melted down and stuffed into the contents of this square dough. It\u2019s like the dough and cheese have fused into one; I\u2019m not quite sure where one begins and the other ends – there\u2019s cheese on top, cheese in the middle, cheese in the crust. Alls I know is that my stomach is stuffed like this pizza. <\/p>\n

\"Little<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m amazed that a single square slice somehow holds everything with such grace \u2013 no collapsing soggy crust whatsoever like other competitors\u2019 stuffed crusts and not dry and hard like some Sicilian-style pizza I\u2019ve had. Conclusion: Stuffed Crust DEEP!DEEP! Dish Pizza is the Spanx of pizzas. Like Spanx, it\u2019s somehow containing and holding in all the cheese. The little muffin top forming over my jeans is a stark contrast to the pizza\u2019s remarkable composure. Damn, I knew I should\u2019ve worn my stretchy pants. \u00a0<\/p>\n

This really does remind me of elementary school cafeteria pizza. But, this conjures fond memories for me like a square pizza patronus (where my Gryffindors at?!). Like all elementary school meals, it looks unappetizing and\u00a0has way too much sodium; but if you count the pepperoni as your daily serving protein and tomato sauce as your daily serving of vegetables, you have a square meal. Get it? *buh dum tss* <\/p>\n

Square pizza = square meal. Ha! No? Okay, fine. Fair. <\/p>\n

Dad jokes aside, I will admit it\u2019s not the best pizza I\u2019ve ever had, but it\u2019s definitely one of the better fast food chain pizzas. I still think that pizza shouldn\u2019t be square but the this one can be the exception. <\/p>\n
