Poll of the Day > So, I heard little ceasars delivers lol.........

(+) Yeah! (+)

And they even say "No minimum charge for delivery" on their advertisement.

Now, I wasn't gonna get a pizza mind you, but the ad basically said the delivery fee was 2.99 and 10% of the order. I was like cool, let me see how much it would really cost!!

So I went on their website, and I ordered a bestest pizza (Extra cheese and pep) which is 7.99. In theory it should be 3$ more for delivery and 10% of the total (which even if they do it AFTER the delivery charge would only be $1 more. That would be about $11.

Seems decent, toss in a tip and say it's $13 total for the pizza about 1.5x the base price. I can live with that.

Lol, no, not even close, they are bait and switching and I hate that.

So, when you do order it they do the following.

3$ for delivery charge.
3$ for "small order fee"
2$ service fee (Which I guess is the 10%, except thats more than 10% even with all the other fees).
2$ taxes (because of all the other fees, since taxes happens after everything else).
3$ (base) for tip (you can drop it to 2$ though).

Total cost was 18$ and change without the tip.

With the tip, your at over 2.5x the cost of the initial pizza (almost at 3x).

I believe when I looked into it, that they are using doordash to deliver their pizzas, you just order it through them. So that is probably just the normal way doordash charges, but it's still false advertising (although they didn't directly say there was no other fees, so it's not legally false advertising I guess).

I think the Extra Most Bestest is cheaper here... I usually get one of those and two 20oz drinks for $10.72...

It's 7.99 here so that makes sense with a drink + tax.

It's actually a great deal if you go there and pick it up yourself. It's not a great deal at 23$ to have it delivered though.

There are two of them within a mile or so of me, so I could easily go get one, but I generally save my monthly pizza for Salamone's since it's much better. Then again it's 30$ and I can't eat most of it anymore (Actually have to throw it out ...it hurts my soul).

I may just switch to doing the little ceasars extra most bestest once a month for 7.99 (prob 9$ after tax). It's actually right next to safeway, so I could stop off on the way back from shopping even.

I dont do the delivery. But its also right around the corner from my house. So, theres no need to. I think here, its $6.99, but it could be a dollar cheaper. I can remember. But Im pretty sure its not $7.99 here. But I do know prices change with location. So, that could be it...

Also, I just remembered its Friday. So, Ill be getting one tonight.

See if adding $3 worth of stuff to your order knocks off the small order fee. You'd pay the same price, but get some other stuff.

Yeah it probably would. I think the garlic sticks thing they have is like $3, so that would make more sense.

But it's the bread i'm avoiding anyway, so I wouldn't actually ever do that. I'll just go pick one up for the (I guess more expensive then other places) normal price.

$8 isn't horrid for a pizza though, even if with tax it's basically $9.

I would prob just have half the pizza the day I get it, and the other half 2 days later.

I'll try it next month I think.

If they're tacking on all that other shit, they ain't getting a tip.

Literally the only appeal to LC is that it's cheap.

If I'm gonna have to pay a delivery fee and tip, I may as well just order some good pizza instead.

I used to order pizza when we were getting together with friends and stuff, but still preferred homemade cause I liked really thick dough that you can dip in some sauce or just eat it on it's own, because it's quite tasty.

I didn't order in a while, lately the dough became a bit too thin and soggy , the tomato sauce have way too much herbs in it that don't match and cheese is a bit plastic.

It's not just pizza tho, I think I tried every lasagna or tomato sauce available on the market and they all taste a bit weird. The herb combo is just wrong , it's like they put some herbs in to hide something else , but don't even know which ones are good together and which ones are not. There was a time I ate pasta just with cheese , was still better than heating that sauce. Probably sounds like I'm too picky, but I don't use any special foods, I just don't like whatever they do with the stuff.

I'll take the crab juice.
