Little Caesars® Answers Call From Enthusiastic Fans And Brings Back Pretzel Crust Pizza

DETROIT, Feb. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Little Caesars is bringing back its much-loved Pretzel Crust Pizza to its U.S. restaurants.  This follows unwavering requests by enthusiastic customers and social media fans, including a Change.org petition calling for the pizza's return. First introduced as a limited-time promotion in 2014, the Pretzel Crust Pizza is a large buttery-flavored soft pretzel crust pizza with creamy cheddar cheese sauce, mozzarella and Muenster cheeses and pepperoni.  And now, the salty, savory treat can be amped up with an optional cheese-stuffed crust or customized with the traditional Little Caesars pizza sauce made from vine-ripened tomatoes. Starting February 22, and for a limited time only, customers can get their Pretzel Crust Pizza for only $6 (plus applicable tax) at participating locations nationwide.**

In a unique twist, Little Caesars has hidden codes in athlete social media content, a radio spot, and even in the middle of the desert.  These codes allow customers to unlock pretzely prizes like Pretzel Crust pizza shoes, a Pretzel Crust area rug, and a Pretzel Crust-themed moped.  Finders of these Pretzel Crust codes can enter them at unlockpretzelcrust.com to discover if they have won some of these exclusive prizes. 

"Pretzel Crust fans, we hear you," said Jeff Klein, senior vice president of global marketing for Little Caesars. "This pizza is our most popular product request on social media, and we're excited to bring it back while treating customers to a few surprises along the way."
