Little Caesars is bringing its pizza to customers' doors in 2020, rolling out nationwide delivery in the U.S. and Canada on Monday.

David Scrivano, president and CEO of Little Caesars, told Cheddar the new delivery system works through the company's app. A customer's order feeds directly to the store, which integrates with DoorDash as a third-party provider.

The driver then goes to the "pizza portal" heated locker box, types in a code, and takes the food.

"Little Caesars has been very, very successful with carry out, and the reason is customers get the best price," Scrivano said. "We have a hot and ready model where you can come in, pick up your pizza whenever you're ready, at the lowest price."

The delivery rollout comes after Little Caesars tested pizzas with Impossible Foods products in late 2019. Scrivano said the tests went "very well."

"It's on the docket for a possibility of an implementation in 2020," Scrivano said. "So, I look forward to that possibility. Consumers are moving in that direction and Little Caesars likes to go where the consumer is."

Other than plant-based meat, cloud or ghost kitchens are also becoming a big idea in the industry. The concept works by providing a space for restaurants to prepare food exclusively for delivery.

"We're looking into cloud kitchens," Scrivano said. "I think it's a great idea. You know, it's still in its infancy, so we have to see how it comes along over the course of time. But we're exploring that possibility, and maybe that'll pop up in the future."

Delivery is available on the Little Caesars app and website.

Poll: More Americans think companies benefit from legal immigration
A new poll finds U.S. adults are more likely than they were a year ago to think immigrants in the country legally benefit the economy. That comes as President Donald Trump's administration imposes new restrictions targeting legal pathways into the country. The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey finds Americans are more likely than they were in March 2024 to say it’s a “major benefit” that people who come to the U.S. legally contribute to the economy and help American companies get the expertise of skilled workers. At the same time, perceptions of illegal immigration haven’t shifted meaningfully. Americans still see fewer benefits from people who come to the U.S. illegally.
Tylenol maker rebounds a day after unfounded claims about its safety
Shares of Tylenol maker Kenvue are bouncing back sharply before the opening bell a day after President Donald Trump promoted unproven and in some cases discredited ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism. Trump told pregnant women not to use the painkiller around a dozen times during the White House news conference Monday. The drugmaker tumbled 7.5%. Shares have regained most of those losses early Tuesday in premarket trading.
