Little Caesars' Cheesy Garlic Pepperoni Is $6.99 Through December 27 — but It Is Only Hot-N-Ready Between 4 and 8 p.m.

Little Caesars announced the Cheesy Garlic Pepperoni on November 2, 2026. In the company's description, it "starts with a large round pizza topped with cheesy garlic white sauce, mozzarella cheese, pepperoni and garlic herb seasoning, then finishes it with a toasted garlic Parmesan and Asiago crust".

The garlic appears twice — in the sauce and in the crust — which is the change from a standard pepperoni pizza. Greg Hamilton, Little Caesars' chief marketing officer, said in the release that "pepperoni pizza will always be a favorite, but our guests are also looking for new flavors and more variety", and described the pizza as starting "with the familiar pizza they already love" and adding "a craveable garlic twist".

Nothing on this page is a description of how the pizza tastes. Little Caesars' own promotional language is quoted above as the company's claim about its product, not as a finding.

The detail that decides whether a reader can actually walk in and buy this is a four-hour window.

Little Caesars' release says: "Beginning November 2, Cheesy Garlic Pepperoni will be available at participating Little Caesars locations as a Hot-N-Ready item from 4 to 8 p.m. local time and can be ordered online or through the Little Caesars app."

Hot-N-Ready is the chain's made-in-advance, no-waiting format. So between 4 and 8 p.m. local time this pizza should be sitting ready at a participating restaurant. Arrive at two in the afternoon or nine at night and it is not a walk-in purchase — the release's footnote confirms the pizza "is available for carryout or delivery through the Little Caesars app and at LittleCaesars.com through December 27", which is the route outside the Hot-N-Ready hours.

Most of the coverage of this launch reported the $6.99 price and the December 27 end date without the time window. It is the difference between a pizza you can collect on the way home and one you have to order ahead.

Little Caesars published the price itself, which is less common than it sounds — a great many chain launches reach customers with no company-stated price at all.

The figure is $6.99, and the release carries an asterisk against it. The footnote reads: "Prices and participation may vary by location. Prices higher in AK, HI, CA; many areas of NY, OR, WA; and third-party online sites. Delivery, small order, services fees and taxes may apply."

So $6.99 is the national advertised price, and Little Caesars has named the states where it expects to be beaten: Alaska, Hawaii and California outright, plus much of New York, Oregon and Washington. Ordering through a delivery app rather than Little Caesars' own channels is also flagged as more expensive.

The dates are firm on both ends. On sale November 2, 2026; available "for a limited time through December 27". National advertising begins November 9, a week into the run, so the campaign lands with about seven weeks of the sale window left rather than eight.

The Cheesy Garlic Pepperoni is the one being advertised, but Little Caesars' release names three siblings that exist only online: "Guests looking to mix things up even more can find additional Cheesy Garlic varieties online, including Cheesy Garlic Cheese, Cheesy Garlic Bacon & Ham and Cheesy Garlic Mushroom & Onion."

The release also notes that "pepperoni and cheese varieties can also be ordered with classic red sauce", meaning the garlic white sauce is a choice rather than a fixture on those two.

Little Caesars did not state a separate price for any of the three online-only varieties, and did not say whether they share the December 27 end date. The release's footnote names only the Cheesy Garlic Pepperoni when it repeats that date, so for the other three the end date and the price are both unstated.
