Little Caesars 2 with Marisa Pinson and David Neher

"Little Caesars 2 with Marisa Pinson and David Nehar" is Episode 317 of *Doughboys*, hosted by Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger. "Little Caesars 2 with Marisa Pinson and David Nehar" was released on September 9, 2021.

## Synopsis

Fan favorites Marisa Pinson and David Neher return to discuss parents and vegetarian eats before a review of Little Caesars. Plus, a mascots edition of Slop Quiz.

## Nick's intro

"*Pizza! Pizza!*": for decades, a Detroit-founded value-conscious pizza chain has used this doubled-up word as their slogan, usually uttered by the cherubic toga-clad mascot; or more specifically, they've used it as their slogan in the US, because north of the largest unguarded border in the world (though as increasingly punitive American immigration policies combined with Canadian COVID precautions, that phrase doesn't pack the same punch it once did).. north of the border, "Pizza Pizza" is not merely a slogan, but an entire company.

Founded in Toronto in 1967, Pizza Pizza is in fact not only the biggest Canadian pizza chain, it's the second biggest Canadian restaurant chain overall (right behind iconic donuttery Tim Horton's).

And though unheralded worldwide, Canada did make an historic contribution to the pizza game. In 1962, Sam Panopoulos combined ham and pineapple as toppings, inventing a polarizing pizza dubbed 'Hawaiian' in a geographic non sequitur. (It's probably now on the Canadian $10 bill or some shit.)

Today, an American chain that says "pizza! pizza!" competes with the Canadian chain named Pizza Pizza for marketing share in the Great White North, and has expanded to all ten provinces (though the trademark dispute has diluted their slogan into the far-less catchy "two pizzas!").

And in America, this hot and ready Motor City chain naturally markets their own version of that Canadian pieological innovation, the Hula Hawaiian.

This week on *Doughboys*, we return to Little Caesars.

## Fork rating

The first time the Doughboys reviewed Little Caesars was in 2019, and it made the Golden Plate Club, with Nick giving it 5 forks and Mitch 4.25 forks.

Little Caesars also made a run through Munch Madness: The Slice is Right in 2018. In the CEO Region, it defeated Papa John's, then in the Semifinals, lost to Costco. Little Caesars then had one more chance in the Fat Chance Kitchen finals, but lost to Domino's.

Lastly, the Doughboys had a *Double* episode, on which they tried the Pretzel Crust Pizza (they liked it).

## Slop Quiz - Mascot Brawl
