Classic cheese and pepperoni pizzas can be had from just about all major pizza chains, but [Little Caesars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gourmet-pepperoni-pizzas) is now looking to set itself apart from the rest with the introduction of its '[ExtraMostBestest](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flavored-sunflower-seeds) Pizza.'

The all-new pizza is helping Little Caesars to set itself apart from other national pizza chains like Domino's, [Papa John's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epic-pepperonistuffed-crust-pizza) and Pizza Hut by offering more cheese and more pepperoni than the other offer on large-sized pepperoni pizzas. To entice cheese and pepperoni pizza lovers to try this new menu item, the ExtraMostBestest Pizza is being sold for just $6, which is only a dollar more than the chain's standard pepperoni pizza option.

The amplified use of ingredients and the share-worthy branding of this new pizza product makes it a mouth-watering new meal option for pizza fans.
