Little Caesars, the third-largest pizza chain in the world, had a recent fun launch party at Al Barsha with the Grand Opening of its newest restaurant in Dubai. Abioriginal takes you straight to the action.
The launch on 10th October was created like a community event and featured exciting activities such as a Spin-the-Wheel for prizes, face painting, live music, bubble games, drawing stations, balloons, and an Instagram-ready photo booth. What my plus 1 and were most interested in, was the pizza. After all we drove from the capital to see what the fuss was all about.
Headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, Little Caesars was founded in1959 as a single, family-owned restaurant. Today, it is the third-largest pizza chain in the world, with restaurants across all 50 U.S. states and more than 30 countries and territories.
Renowned for its HOT-N-READY pizzas, offering unbeatable value at just AED 24 for large classic pizzas, including pepperoni, cheese, and veggie. With its legendary affordability and quality, Little Caesars is ready to serve up its slices of joy to Dubai’s vibrant community of pizza lovers.
“Launching in Dubai is an exciting milestone for Little Caesars as we continue our global growth,” said Carlos Vidal, VP, International Development at Little Caesars.
“With large pizzas starting at just AED 24, we’re bringing incredible value to one of the most dynamic food scenes in the world.”

The UAE franchise is led by Al Thuraya Restaurant LLC, the exclusive operator of
Little Caesars in the UAE.
“We are proud to bring Little Caesars to Dubai and celebrate this grand opening with
our community,” said Abdulmohsen Almutairi, Executive CEO of Al Thuraya
Restaurant LLC. “Our mission is to provide incredible value and taste, and this event
is our way of saying that Little Caesars is here to stay – and already becoming an
exciting new option for discerning pizza lovers across the UAE.”
Little Caesars menu offers some innovative takes on classic pizza flavours – using
quality ingredients, like fresh, never-frozen mozzarella and Muenster cheese, as well
as sauce made from fresh-packed, vine-ripened California crushed tomatoes, plus
zingy BBQ chicken wings.
Sides include the world-famous Crazy Bread, flavourful dipping sauces, and the latest concept, Crazy Puffs, families can enjoy a satisfying meal at great value. The Al Barsha location is the first step in Little Caesars expansion across the UAE, with more stores planned in the near future.
In case you were wondering, the sauce is made from fresh-packed, vine-ripened California crushed tomatoes.
An exceptionally high-growth company with over 65 years in the $150 billion worldwide pizza industry, Little Caesars continues to expand globally, offering families affordable, fresh, and convenient pizza. Al Thuraya Restaurant LLC is a UAE-based restaurant
company and the exclusive franchisee of Little Caesars Pizza in the Emirates. With a
mission to bring value-driven, high-quality food experiences to the UAE. Everyone from children of all ages to bloggers, families and business execs were seen taking part in the launch activities. While you can order their pizzas on Talabat, I hope their next branch is closer to home. Can't wait to order my next slice!
