LITTLE CAESARS® DEBUTS NEW PIZZA CREATION INSPIRED BY GOTHAM CITY'S CAPED CRUSADER

DETROIT, Jan. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Little Caesars, home of the HOT-N-READY^® and the Crazy Calzony™, is partnering with the all-new film The Batman to bring fans of the legendary comic book character for a global promotion featuring a one-of-a-kind new product, The Batman Calzony. The Batman is coming to theaters in North America March 4 and internationally beginning March 2, 2022.

The Batman Calzony is created by combining a pizza lover's own dynamic duo: calzone and pizza. This bat-shaped product features a tantalizing flavor profile of  buttery-tasting, calzone crust filled with garlic white sauce, cheese, and julienned pepperoni, combined with a pepperoni pizza and served with a side of Crazy Sauce®. The new menu item will be available for $7.99 starting January 24.

"Anyone can now bring superhero vibes to pizza night by trying the new The Batman Calzony, "said Jeff Klein, chief marketing officer at Little Caesars, "It's the most delicious part of our partnership with the upcoming film The Batman."

The Crazy Calzony was originally introduced by Little Caesars in August 2021 as a limited-time offer, adding an instant classic to the chain's already storied menu.

Customers can order The Batman Calzony for delivery using the Little Caesars app, or pre-pay and then conveniently collect their order using Pizza Portal® pickup (a heated, self-service mobile order pickup station) at any participating Little Caesars Locations. Customers can stop in between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. to pick up The Batman Calzony without preordering.
