Google - Labeled for Reuse Little Caesars' DoorDash Super Bowl 2020 commercial tours its new delivery service during the Super Bowl LIV ad, which features actor Rainn Wilson.
Little Caesars is open for limited hours on Christmas Eve this year, and closed on Christmas Day, so if you’re looking to grab a snack Wednesday afternoon, you might be out of luck. Little Caesars is usually closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and Easter Sunday each year, so you’ll have to wait until Thursday to snag that $5 Hot-N-Ready pizza.
Although many Little Caesars locations will be closed on Christmas Day this year, especially in smaller towns and cities, some stores may remain open with limited hours, depending on your location. Since the pizza restaurant is chain-operated, the hours and holiday schedule may vary, so we always recommend calling ahead before stopping by.

Little Caesars Started in 1954 After The Founders Went on a Blind Date
Little Caesars was founded 65 years ago in 1954 after Mike Ilitch and Marian Bayoff went on a blind date arranged by Mike’s father. According to the Little Caesars’ website, the couple quickly fell in love and were married within a few short months. The couple had a common dream – to open a small pizza joint in Detroit, so in 1959, the couple invested their life savings into their first store in Garden City, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit.
“Marian carefully recorded Little Caesars very first sales in a spiral notebook,” the website continues. “In 1962, the first franchise opened in Warren, Michigan. The business decision to expand through franchising paved the way for Little Caesars to become the fastest growing pizza chain in the U.S. and an internationally known brand.”
Mike and Marian have always considered their Little Ceasars’ employees as one big family, and Marian considers the restaurant chain her “eighth child,” so it should come as no surprise that the restaurant closes down on holidays. You can read more about the history of the pizza chain here.
