A Tale of Two Pizzas

Although not as well-known for delivery as Domino's, there was a Little Caesars across from my freshman dorm that was happy to deliver to us. This was my entry into the world of pizza delivery; coming from a tiny town, pizza for  me meant an hour-long wait for my mother's car headlights after going in town to get one from Roma's. I was flabbergasted that you could pick up the phone and then a pizza would appear; if you looked ta my freshman year check book, although I wouldn't recommend it but hey you gotta be you, just about every entry you'd see would read LITTLE CAESARS.

Interesting article earlier this year, via Eater, on Little Caesars and Dominos, including this:

  It’s a fluke that the chains emerged from the same corner of Michigan at roughly the same time more than 50 years ago. Yet, in different ways, Domino’s and Little Caesars changed the way Americans eat pizza, helping to make it one of the country’s most popular foods. The pizza barons were great at selling pies. Now one wants to save Detroit, and the other wants to save everything else.

As for the 15 longform stories, do yourself a favor and read the one about the never-ending TGIF mozzarella sticks, which I remember from when it first appeared a few months ago. Feel the grease in your guts as he marches on.

And here's a little Xmastme holla for the ladies out there readng this.
