4. I used to love Little Caesar's pizza not knowing this about the founder!

But my husband said he didn’t like it so we stopped buying it.

5. yeah their pizza isn't great

but I sure will see them a bit different knowing this fact. What a wonderful deed.

14. It's like a bad movie that you really like

Sometimes you need you one of those square ones that come in a 2 pack. Their round pizzas are pretty bad though.

18. He also owned the Detroit Red Wings.

I don't mind his pizza. For what it costs, it's not bad. Got no use for his hockey team, though.

26. And The Detroit Tigers.

The entire Ilitch family follows Mike’s example a truly great bunch of people.

The 5 dollar pizza is never going to win awards but it is the best “travel” food. Box fits some dashboard shelf’s, it’s not sloppy like a burger, burrito or taco, good warm or cold. Think about it no mayo slop on your pants or stray lettuce pieces flying out from somewhere when you leave the car.

[Wednesdays]

16. Upgrade from the "Hot 'n' Ready" pizzas.

The cheap pizzas are mediocre; best to buy the better ones.

11. Well that gives me...

a reason to respect him, not sure I'd eat anything from one of the outlets, though.

12. Humans just won't fit into nice tidy little boxes....

Even some business tycoons.

[dchill]

13. That rates a kudo or two.

[LoisB]

15. I read this some years back so when I buy take-away pizza, it is from Little Caesar's. They may

not have the best pizza in town but it's not bad.

19. I don't want to be an editor so I don't write titles. Except for Canadian tweets

of the day as more explanation is often needed for my American friends.

24. Re:X. That's editing?

[OverBurn]

20. Never cared for the pizza, but much respect to Mr. Ilitch. I may have to try one again.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

21. I personally find Little Caesar's Pizza inedible,

but I'm impressed at whit the founder did for Ms. Parks.

[BigmanPigman]

22. A friend of mine from Michigan told me how

cool this guy was about 30 years ago.

I like their pizza a lot too!

23. A damn sight better than Papa John's former CEO, John Schnatter.

Schnatter's public fall from grace began in 2017 when he commented on the NFL during a call with investors. Criticizing the league for its leniency toward players taking a knee during the national anthem, he characterized the protests as "a debacle" that "should have been nipped in the bud." The remarks almost immediately went public, and Schnatter resigned as CEO of Papa John's soon after.

Nonetheless, Schnatter stayed on as chairman as he plotted a return to the top of the company, which included PR coaching from the ad agency Laundry Service. But in his very first meeting with the agency, Schnatter used a racial slur.
