sell pizza by the slice? I mean a medium is way too much pizza for someone who is single and I don't like warmed up pizza. Any ideas?

It's called 99 cent slices from Little Caesars sweety. Their slices are VERY big for 99 cents.

It's not cost effective. If you go to a pizza restaurant, you can get pizza by the slice. It isn't sold that way if you are ordering pizza for delivery. If you think a medium is too much for you, buy a small!

They are a franchise, and they are trying to give your fast service, cost effective meal and value for money all rolled into one. They are not boutique restaurants where they can cater for each persons needs individually, they generally cater for families on budget, parties and the younger generation. If a medium is too much for you your must look at the alternatives, buy a small, go somewhere else, or make your own. Save money and eat healthy.

It all has to do with profit and risk. Yeah...some places offer it..like Sbarros. But it wouldn't be profitable for Dominos or Pizza hut to do it.The reason is...the different toppings. If everyone wanted the same toppings, they could just make one style of pizza and make a larger profit margin on an entire pie (selling the slices individually).But since there are so many options in toppings and crusts (pan, thin, etc)...they would end up with a bunch of wasted, stale pizza at the end of each shift.

because every franchise have a standard and if them sell pizza by the slice this is mean that them will have some of this pizza in the end of the day from every pizza them make and this is mean west for them and you will never take it fresh
