Little Caesars Teams Up with Coco Robotics to Power Fast Autonomous Pizza Deliveries

Coco's robots power faster deliveries of Little Caesars HOT-N-READY® pizzas across locations in Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami and soon San Jose

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Coco Robotics, the leader in autonomous delivery, today announced a collaboration with Little Caesars, the third-largest pizza chain in the world, to bring autonomous robot deliveries to locations throughout Los Angeles, Chicago, and Miami, with Little Caesars deliveries coming soon to Coco's recently expanded operations in downtown San Jose.

Coco's robots are currently serving participating Little Caesars locations, marking the beginning of a broader rollout to bring autonomous delivery to more Little Caesars guests. Orders placed through participating Little Caesars locations on DoorDash and Uber Eats may be fulfilled by Coco, providing a faster, environmentally friendly, and more efficient delivery experience. Coco integrates directly into both platforms' existing ordering systems, requiring no manual entry or extra steps for in-store teams. Orders move directly from the kitchen to the curb, where a Coco robot completes the final delivery to the customer.

"This partnership is about delivering more value and convenience to our guests," said Trish Heusel, VP of Innovation at Little Caesars. "By integrating Coco's autonomous robots, we can deliver hot, delicious pizza in record time to more customers. With Coco, we're now able to make deliveries even more quickly. Automating deliveries also reduces congestion in our stores and helps get orders out faster during peak periods."

Already, the collaboration has been recognized with two 2026 Franchise Innovation Awards for Little Caesars - Innovator of the Year for Operations & Technology and Most Innovative Use of Technology - highlighting the success of the Coco delivery initiative.

"We're proud to partner with Little Caesars, an iconic brand known for its dedication to speed and value," said Melissa Fahs, VP, Enterprise at Coco Robotics. "By integrating our robots into Little Caesars operations, we're showing how autonomous deliveries can enhance the guest experience at scale, making ultra-fast, sustainable delivery a reality for millions of pizza lovers."
