Little Caesars vs Domino's
Two value pizzas, two anchors: the held HOT-N-READY price against the two-item mix-and-match deal.
B+
Little Caesars
Carryout pizza
Hold one round, low price so long that the number itself becomes the brand: a pizza already made, sold for about the cost of a coffee, with almost nothing to decide

What it does best

- Price tier
- $
- Full ticket
- 5.1x base-to-register

What it does best

The verdict
