We have had the $ 5 hot and ready several times from several different places. This one was by far the worst! Sadly, I didn’t notice until I got home. The cheese was starting to look waxy, like the pizza had been sitting for far longer than it should. It was warm and more chewy than pizza should be. The bread sticks seemed pretty fresh, but the sauce was ice cold. I thought thebsaive was usually served in warm. I know, I know. You’re probably thinking«It’s only five bucks.» But I still expect some sort of quality. I mean, they do push this deal a lot, so you’d think they’d want people to keep coming back. The only upside, the woman that was blocking all the open parking spaces to wait for the one in front of the door, may or may not have gotten sauce on her shoe when I dropped it!(The parking lot is super tiny, she was being lazy. I dropped the sauce because I thought the girl had put it in the bag and I turned around too fast.) I digress. Not sure if we just happened to pick the wrong time, but I will definitely think twice about coming back to this location.

Just bought the $ 12 bacon wrapped pizza and the girl reaches into the hot n ready heater and grabs my pizza out which looks like it’s been sitting there for about an hour. If I wasn’t so hungry, I would have definitely made them make me a fresh one but I didn’t feel like sitting there fighting for my $ 12 pizza!!! What bullish! t. Ud think for a $ 12 pizza that they’d automatically make it fresh! I coulda went to a gourmet pizza place if I knew this was Gona be the case!!!

Walked into this place expecting HOT&READYPIZZA only to find out they have to cook them all. Perhaps next time I’ll get lucky.

yeah I live around the corner so I eat here all the time. My laziness compels me to. But they really do need to step up the quality of the hot and ready pizzas. Specialty pizzas are good quality but if i was going to get a specialty pizza and not the hot and ready lazy walk around the corner I got to a better place down the street.

I know its 5 $ pizza but next time can you at least make an effort at putting some sauce on the pizza? I pretty much had cheesy bread with toppings. My sisters pizza looked like it was sitting there all day. Though i am not a dan diego local, this little ceasars was a bit of a disappointment.

This place sucks at being a Little Caesar’s!!! Good luck trying to get a pizza after 10pm, and they never have garlic sauce. Just walk to a grocery store and buy a Tombstone or Red Baron; it’ll be cheaper, taste better, and you won’t waste your time coming to a place that doesn’t have any pizza!!!

Open til 11, but they stop taking orders before 10:30… awesome. Oh well, we’ll just go somewhere else. :-)

So much for hot and ready to go. Cheese will be done in 5 min. Really?!? No garlic sauce either. Maybe throw a different one in for free to make up for it. Nope.

One should always stick with what one knows. I had my first Little Caesars«pizza» when I was stationed in Norfolk and they opened on base. A CLEAR sign that bribery was intrenched there if ever there was one. Horrible… even if I had not been raised on New York pizza. Fast forward to San Diego and I have a slice of their«pizza» because a friend bought a hot and ready pie… WHILE we were waiting for the Chines place next door to fix our food(HIJASON). Ummm… gag. Now LC comes out with Deep Dish squares, which I assume are Sicilian pies and after much trepidation, I go and get the Hot and Cheesey, always ready pizza. Now, I’m used to New York Sicilian from a little place on 32nd Street. That pie was like buttery crust with just a hint of Angel’s breath inside with minimum cheese and pepperoni. The aroma and bliss of eating it was akin to the Second Coming of the Messiah… yeah, it was that good. Now, I can hear you breathing in anticipation of how the LC «pizza» will be described… Hold on. First, NOT friggin ready… but hey, this is a good thing, I’ll get a freshly baked pie… well assuming you call that ride through the heat tunnel of death that is used by places these days. So, ride home, plates, blah, blah. I bite into one of the slices which does look and smell pretty good. Remember the buttery crust and Angel’s breath from the other place… ummmm, no. Visualize an aging, dowager’s doughy breastessss, with cheese and pepperoni and imagine taking a bite of that vision of loveliness and yes… not even close to that good. Damn you diabetes, why do I have to eat now… and this. LC may claim to have only been around since 1959… they lie, this place is probably what caused the fall of the Roman Empire. I have not had my taste buds be so offended since… well, since the last slice of their regular pizza. This square was like shoving a wad warmed, barely cooked dough into my face hole. For the Love of GOD make sure you have water available or know how to punch yourself in the chest hard enough to dislodge a dough ball when you eat this. So, the cheese actually tasted good, so I can only imagine what the dough would be like if said cheese was removed. Pepperoni… HA, if I had closed my eyes while eating, I would barely have noticed they were there. So, overall, you would probably get the impression I didn’t like the experience. Well guess what, cupcake, you would be(*#^%#@ correct. Don’t let the commercial fool you. Run, hide, starve yourself but do not follow in my footsteps to the alter of all that is horrible and gross. I am going to implore Unilocal to allow us to start giving LESS than one star. Next stop… Wing Stop, since they opened a new one near me. Until then, Happy eating.

um first of all when did north park become a Bad part of town. go east of the 805 and then talk. secondly, little ceasars is everywhere just not in «ghetto park» as some on Unilocal seem to think about it. its cheap fast and not my first choice but an ok choice. i doubt anyone will go all the way to national or clairmont just to get a little ceasars im on my way there now to get the kids pizza and im sure it wont be that bad

Little Caesar’s is always good if you need pizza fast, however here they should call it «hot and 15 mins» not«hot and ready.» Every time I have been here to get just a cheese pizza, I have had to wait! And the crazy bread is NOTHING like it used to be when I was a kid. It used to be awesome, now it is gross. I don’t mind the pizza in a pinch for $ 5, but to have to wait when their commercials say the opposite?!? Come on… Mama Mia’s has close to the same deal, and the pizza is so much better!

I don’t know what you all are complaining about? this pizza is superb when you consider that it’s only $ 5 bucks!!! I cant even buy 1 slice for lees then $ 4 I will definitely come back here especially now when I’m on low budget.

for some reason, this is one of the worst Little Caesars in San Diego. Like Ruggy the intern says, its«YUCK». The pizzas are greasy, hella nasty. I wouldn’t be surprised if this building had a roach infestation. Take the 5 minute drive down to the Little Caesars on National Ave — or up to the one in Clairemont at Genesee and Mount Etna… Thank me later!

Even though the crazy bread brings back memories of yesteryear, and even thought they have an insane pizza deal($ 5 for a large pizza with a 2-liter soft drink), I’m a firm believer in the statement, «you get what you pay for.» This ain’t the 2-Buck Chuck of Pizza, it’s the 5-Buck YUCK. 2 stars of providing a warm, cardboard tasting meal to those on a low income.
