DETROIT – Little Caesars Pizza announced earlier this week the introduction of its new $5 Lunch Combo, available Hot-N-Ready every day from 11 am to 2 pm at participating locations.

The $5 meal launched yesterday and includes four slices of Little Caesars deep dish pizza and a 20-ounce drink.

The meals are Hot-N-Ready, which means customers can expect a warm combo meal without ordering ahead or waiting in-store while it is prepared. The company is appealing to pizza lovers who are turned off from long wait times, small portions and expensive offerings.

"This is an amazing deal within both the pizza segment and the entire quick service restaurant industry. We expect our $5 Lunch Combo to become an attractive alternative to other fast food combos and for Little Caesars to become a destination location for lunch,” said Little Caesars President and CEO David Scrivano.
