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

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 10 months ago

if the space serves a purpose (must be escaped from) is it liminal any more and is actually now a locus?

[–] ech@lemm.ee 37 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 34 points 10 months ago (4 children)

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 41 points 10 months 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?

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago (2 children)

People order delivery from little Caesars? I didn't even know they had delivery.

[–] IMongoose@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

For real. They're going to get a $5-$6 pizza delivered to them for $15-$20? Are they nuts? Go get real food.

[–] jayandp@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

They partnered with DoorDash a few years ago, and its one of those one driver=multiple stops things. Which means your pizza is usually cold by the time it gets to you.

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

[–] GiantRobotTRex@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 10 months ago

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

[–] deleteme@lemmy.world 0 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] jawa21@startrek.website 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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 20 points 10 months 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 10 months 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 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months 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.

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] OrderedChaos@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Greek or grease? We'll never know.

[–] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

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

[–] gnate@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I think it’s supposed to be a backrooms reference

[–] technojamin@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

So a bit of both.

[–] Neil@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months 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.

Where’s the Caesarland animatronic band?

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Is this a screenshot from Escape the Backrooms?
