The Deep Dish Dippers are a new product from Little Caesars that combine their signature deep dish pizza with a dipping sauce. Each order consists of 20 pieces of pizza that are cut into easily-dippable strips and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. These pizzas are unique as the pizzas themselves are separated into quadrants with each section containing a different topping. The included toppings are Jalapeno, Pepperoni, Cheese, and Applewood Smoked Bacon. The pizza squares are served with a choice of Crazy Sauce, Cheese Sauce, or Butter Garlic Sauce, as well as Hidden Valley Ranch.
The Deep Dish Dippers are currently being tested at select locations in Seattle. The product is priced at roughly $13.50 and is available as part of the regular menu at participating locations. Little Caesars has not announced when or if the product will be rolled out nationwide.
