Little Caesars Has Begun Testing a New Sicilian-Style Pizza

— February 19, 2024 — Lifestyle
Little Caesars is testing out a gourmet new offering with the launch of Sicilian-style pizza.

Recently spotted at select Little Caesars locations in South Carolina and Virginia, the new Sicilian-style pizza appears to be a test item. The pizza is a personal-sized deep dish pie cut into four square pieces, topped with Old World Pepperoni, and finished with a buttery garlic spread, and crispy parmesan cheese crust. Little Caesars also appears to be testing a Sicilian-style cheese pizza, which boasts all the same ingredients, except for the Old World Pepperoni.

As of right now, you can find the new Sicilian-style pizza at participating Little Caesars locations in Virginia and South Carolina, but only for a limited time
