Little Caesars Lunch Combo: Price, Hours & What’s Inside

The Little Caesars Lunch Combo is four slices of Detroit-Style Deep Dish pizza with a 20-ounce Pepsi drink, sold Hot-N-Ready from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at participating stores. It launched nationwide on 3 February 2014 at $5. Little Caesars no longer publishes a national price for it, so what you pay is set by your local store.

• What you get: 4 slices of Detroit-Style Deep Dish + a 20 oz Pepsi product
• When: 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the window Little Caesars has used since launch
• How: Walk in. It is a Hot-N-Ready item, so there is no order to place and no wait
• Price: Set by each store. It started at $5 in 2014 and was $4 in a 2018 promotion
• Free once a year: veterans and active-duty military get one free on Veterans Day (11 November) with proof of service

What’s in the Lunch Combo

Every official Little Caesars description of the Lunch Combo since 2014 lists the same two parts.

Little Caesars’ releases say “Detroit-style Deep Dish pizza” without naming the topping, and the slices come from whatever the store has ready. If you want a specific topping, ask at the counter, and expect to wait for a fresh bake.

Calories: Little Caesars’ 2026 US nutrition guide lists the Lunch Combo (4-slice Detroit-Style Deep Dish Pepperoni and a 20 oz Pepsi product) at 1,390 to 1,680 calories, depending on the drink you pick. That is a full meal, not a light lunch.

Lunch Combo hours

The Lunch Combo runs from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Little Caesars has used this window in its 2014 launch, its 2018 relaunch and its 2025 Veterans Day offer.

The 2014 and 2018 releases both said “every day”, weekends included. Every release also says “participating locations”: franchise owners decide whether to run the combo and on which days.

• Outside 11 a.m.–2 p.m. you can still buy Detroit-Style, but as a regular made-to-order pizza at the full price.
• Check your store before you go. At all four Bay Area stores we checked on 16 September 2026, the Lunch Combo was not on the online menu. It is a counter item, so call the store or read the board.

How much is the Lunch Combo?

The Lunch Combo has no national price today. The last prices Little Caesars announced were $5 at the 2014 launch and $4 in a 2018 promotion. Prices now are set by each franchise owner, and Little Caesars’ recent releases note that prices run higher in Alaska, Hawaii and California, and in many areas of New York, Oregon and Washington.

To see what your store charges, read the board at the counter or phone the store. The Lunch Combo was not on the online menu at any of the four stores we checked, so the app may not show it.

For comparison, a full Detroit-Style Pepperoni pizza (8 pieces) cost $10.99–$12.99 at those same four stores. See our Detroit-Style prices at four stores for the full table.

Pizza for one: does Little Caesars sell by the slice?

Not as a regular menu item. In the US, Little Caesars sells pizza whole: a 14-inch round cut into 8 slices, or a Detroit-Style cut into 8 pieces. The Lunch Combo is the main exception, a fixed four-slice portion with a drink.

If you’re eating alone, these are the smaller portions on the US menu:

One more option: order a whole pizza and keep half. A 14-inch round cut into 8 slices gives two meals, and leftovers reheat well in an air fryer.

How to get the Lunch Combo

1. Go between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Outside that window the combo isn’t sold.
2. Ask for the Lunch Combo at the counter. It is Hot-N-Ready, so nothing needs ordering ahead. If you’re new to the format, here’s how Hot-N-Ready works.
3. Pick your 20 oz drink and pay. The price is your store’s board price.

Free Lunch Combo on Veterans Day

On 11 November, Little Caesars gives veterans and active-duty military members a free Hot-N-Ready Lunch Combo from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. In its 2025 announcement, it described the combo as four slices of Detroit-style Deep Dish pizza and a 20-ounce Pepsi beverage.

• No coupon needed. Show proof of service: a military ID, a DD-214, or a veteran designation on your ID card.
• Go in person. The offer is described as a Hot-N-Ready item, so it is claimed at the counter. Little Caesars hasn’t said it can be redeemed through the app or delivery.
• Participating stores. As with all Little Caesars offers, call ahead if you’re unsure your store takes part.

The free lunch ties in with the Little Caesars Veterans Program, set up in 2006, which offers incentives for veterans who open their own Little Caesars franchise.

The 2026 details had not been announced as of 22 October 2026. Little Caesars has made the offer for several years running.
