"Love Little Caesars pizza. Great value for your money and it tastes great. The breadsticks are addictive."
"pizza was cold. barely any cheese on it. not cut through. dough not even, it is like they just threw it in and didn't press out the dough. 3 slices have very thick crust then as you go around it gets thinner...to where 1 slice is as thin as pepperoni!!! the thick slices were not cooked completely.

"My younger son lives here in Greenville and we are visiting as we travel south with our motor home. We ordered two pizzas and two salads and all was great.....no complaints at all. We got the deep dish with pepperoni and sausage with the sauce on top. And a large loaded with meat (I can't remember the name off hand.....back in Vermont it would be called the "meat lovers" pizza) pizza that was also great. The garden salads were loaded with a variety of fresh vegetables and were pretty big so it took us two days to eat the salad. Will definitely buy here again as we travel through twice a year now headed to Florida for the winter and back home to Vermont in the spring."
"I ordered a create your own calzon with pizza sauce, pineapple, and steak & chicken. The sauce is barely there, I had maybe 3 pieces of pineapple and no steak and a few slivers of chicken. No sauce on side to dip in. My mom ordered the meatball sub with green peppers, onions and mushrooms. She got 2 pieces of green pepper, 1 piece of onion and 2 mushrooms. Very disappointed for the price paid."

"This was my first time ordering from this company and I will be ordering from them again. The Chicken Italian Kolache was fresh, hot and taste delicious. It was just the right amount of portion of chicken and ingredients. Thank you!"
"These were absolutely amazing. The Bacon, Egg & Cheese was decadent and extremely filling. The Italian Chicken was by far my favorite. It's light but still nourishing. The Bacon & Cheddar Cheese was also really tasty. All of them tend to be savory and slightly swee due to the bread. The Peach Kolache uses fresh peaches and is incredibly sweet. I'd recommend trying at least a few of the options here. There's something for everyone."
