Little Caesars Pizza

Love America let's get that out of the way, but food franchises?, with rare exceptions, not so much. There was a time when fast food was so tasty one even bought t-shirts to let the word out. Must refrain from giving names, that is an absolute no no, pointing fingers and such, but sadly, or luckily, the reviews seem to tell the story. The stars help a lot too. Quality down, Price up. Combos close to $20, single items to $10, and what blows it out the window is how mediocre these foods are. Enter Little Caesar's. I visited this brand 15 years ago. Pizza pizza was a great commercial, and back then this place was quite inexpensive, kind of like Spam but with pepperoni. Never in the category of great, but very much sought after by bargain seekers, which I'll be the first to admit I like a good deal. Two impressionable women, good eaters from what I have observed, tell me excitedly about Little Caesars Hot Puffs commercial, oh this, oh that, like Quiche, Frittata, completely sold. So what dummy number one does? Went out and got 4 boxes, 4 in each box, one of the four boxes cost me more, but it included that marinara sauce that comes in very large containers, and that most likely is used across the board, like almost $6. Not a gourmet high, very mundane. The others cost $3.99. Oily morsels to say the least. Only two varieties: pepperoni, I only saw one inside of each, but I might need glasses perhaps. The rest, dough and more dough, and spices, herbs, cheese but not easy to detect. Size of a mini muffin all. The other variety was herb and cheese?
This location is the more kinder reviewed, with even a few 5 Stars, reviews dating 9 years ago, 7, what is really going on? 13 reviews from the past decade? I know Chico is small but please, who needs to read a pizza review 9 years old? Oh yes, there were a couple recent ones. By the way, most big names fast foods are the same. 2 Stars is big time, very proud, thank you. What owner kicks back knowing that 2 Stars is a mediocre rating. Only if the money keeps coming, the rest is of no consequence.
Hot Puffs, nice to have met you, have a nice shelf life. 1.5 Stars.

I paid for a fanceroni pizza and waited 12 mins. I don't mind waiting for a fresh pizza. I get home and look at the pizza, definitely looks like a classic. Taste it, definitely not a fanceroni. Pizza tasted old. I call them tell them their mistake. They said they would issue a refund and make a new pizza for the mistake. I brought back the classic pizza which guy tried saying it was a fanceroni. Then lied about giving me back my money. They wasted my time. My gas and they screwed up my order. They won't get my business again and I have ordered many pizzas from here but i won't keep giving a business my money if they have crap customer service for situation they caused and didn't provide what I paid for. I also tipped them and they still screwed up the order. I definitely overpaid for inferior customer service and quality of food. When a customer places an order to go you expect to receive what you paid for and not have to drive all way back across town to have Little Caesars fix their mistake. Wasted easily $6 on gas, not be compensated by shady business owner. I would give 0 stars if it was a choice.
