LITTLE CAESARS® TAKES PEPPERONI PIZZA TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH NEW CHEESY GARLIC PEPPERONI

The craveable new pizza brings garlic to both the sauce and crust for just $6.99

DETROIT, Nov. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Little Caesars is giving one of America's favorite pizzas a craveable garlic upgrade with the launch of the new Cheesy Garlic Pepperoni. Featuring garlic in both the sauce and crust, the limited-time pizza delivers a bold new flavor experience at the incredible value of just $6.99*.

Cheesy Garlic Pepperoni starts with a large round pizza topped with cheesy garlic white sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and garlic herb seasoning, then finishes it with a toasted garlic Parmesan and Asiago crust. The result is everything guests love about a classic pepperoni pizza, taken to the next level with just the right amount of garlic flavor.

"Pepperoni pizza will always be a favorite, but our guests are also looking for new flavors and more variety," said Greg Hamilton, Chief Marketing Officer at Little Caesars. "Cheesy Garlic Pepperoni gives them the best of both worlds. It starts with the familiar pizza they already love and adds a craveable garlic twist, all at the outstanding value they expect from Little Caesars."

Beginning November 2, Cheesy Garlic Pepperoni will be available at participating Little Caesars locations as a Hot-N-Ready® item from 4 to 8 p.m. local time and can be ordered online or through the Little Caesars app. National advertising begins November 9, and the pizza will be available for a limited time through December 27.

Guests looking to mix things up even more can find additional Cheesy Garlic varieties online, including Cheesy Garlic Cheese, Cheesy Garlic Bacon & Ham and Cheesy Garlic Mushroom & Onion. Pepperoni and cheese varieties can also be ordered with classic red sauce.

The launch will be supported by a national advertising campaign that shows how garlic takes an everyday pepperoni pizza to a whole new level. At the center of the campaign is San Francisco 49ers Tight End George Kittle, who brings his unmistakable energy and larger-than-life personality to the new product. The campaign will pair Kittle's bold presence with the big garlic flavor of Cheesy Garlic Pepperoni.

*Cheesy Garlic Pepperoni is available for carryout or delivery through the Little Caesars app and at LittleCaesars.com through December 27. Prices and participation may vary by location. Prices higher in AK, HI, CA; many areas of NY, OR, WA; and third-party online sites. Delivery, small order, services fees and taxes may apply.
