As a person who's been in a Little Caesar's, can confirm. That's why the pizzas are so cheap, you must escape a liminal space first

I get it's referencing the back rooms, but I don't get why. No location I've ever been to looked anything like that.

I think the joke is that nobody ever actually enters LC. They just order from there. So there would be no way of knowing if it was actually secretly an entrance to the backrooms

[–] Potatos_are_not_friends@lemmy.world 32 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I order for pickup and it looks like this.

But now that you mentioned it, what is their back room? Do they even have a kitchen?

Or do they all just go to the Little Caesars Dimension and through the Pizza Portal and fetch us some Hot-and-Readys by negotiating with the outer gods?

The door to the back is a portal to the elemental plane of pizza. Employees dip into the back to slay a pizza elemental and harvest its crust whenever they run out of dipping sticks.

Hey um I'm sorry but I've been seeing you here for months and I just have to know: is there a story/meaning behind your username choice?? If so please please tell me the lore. I want to know. I need to know.

Every LC I've ever seen is takeout only... You have to go inside to get the pizza

[–] GiantRobotTRex@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

I remember in-store dining at Little Caesars in the '90s but nowadays all the ones I know of are takeout only.

This could have been an episode of Reply All, from their “Yes, yes, no” segment. It would go down the Backrooms rabbit hole and back up reminiscing about cheap Little Caesar’s.

The only ones I have ever been in were just a counter and a clearly visible kitchen behind it with no walls separating them.

[–] ares35@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

the best ones were the ones inside of super kmart, you could actually eat in there or buy by the slice.

[–] jawa21@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Interesting. Our K-Mart only had the K-Mart snack bar. I remember eating hot dogs there as a kid.

[–] ares35@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i remember actual sit-down restaurants inside of kmart when i was a kid.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I feel like they had something like that at one of our stores in the early to mid 70s. (USA) Like Woolworths or something.

I miss that era.

Where did this pizza come from, Kmart? Nobody knows. And now nobody will ever know.

Little caesars is just greese and cardboard. Their dough is cardboard, the sauces are greese, the menu is colored greese on cardboard, the windows are cardboard.

[–] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes, absolutely yes and it is also unironically my favorite pizza. Or at least it was, even they gor hit with the shrinkflation bullshit

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 4 points 2 years ago

Ugh we can’t even have greasy cardboard without the economy downsizing it.

[–] OrderedChaos@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Greek or grease? We'll never know.

[–] gnate@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can't tell if this is more like DOOM, or the Minotaur's labyrinth.

[–] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think it’s supposed to be a backrooms reference

[–] technojamin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

So a bit of both.

[–] Neil@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

All the ones I've been in it's just a bunch of us fat dudes crowded around watching another fat dude say "extra most bestest" to some pimply teenager that hates his life.

[–] BeefPiano@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Where’s the Caesarland animatronic band?

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Is this a screenshot from Escape the Backrooms?
