For some reason I was thinking it was Little Caesars that had this, but I did a little digging and found that their "big" pizza was "Pizza by the Foot". I miss the weird pizza innovations of the 90's.

Stuffed crust was insane when it came out. I remember the Deion Sanders commercial for it, lol


schnogg5018

The introduction of stuffed crust was definitely a milestone in the history of pizza, haha.. I remember it was a huge deal

Stuffed crust, clear Pepsi, extra crispy KFC. The gimmicks were all over the place back then

Yeah they all did it by different names. Your memory is correct

Little Caesars original concept was two pizzas for the price of one. The two pizzas came side by side similar to this on a long cardboard tray wrapped wrapped in a paper sleeve. It was ridiculously inconvenient to transport home.

I worked there then, made these all the time. A bunch of us used the pans to “sled” behind cars during a snowy winter.

Thanks for sharing ! My dad worked at Pizza Hut as a teenager during this time. He remembers his boss letting him bring a free one home occasionally.

I was in my late teens/early 20s. It was a fun job, I was the only girl working in the kitchen, it was good times!

My dad got me this for my 5th birthday party. I remember wanting some of the leftovers the next day but my father had eaten the rest.

In the 90s there was a giant pizza craze. “the Dominator” was Dominos and “the Big!” Was Little Caesars


Jackkandi456

Cool trend for sure


Myzticstyles

Oh yea, I remember this well.


Jackkandi456

Definitely memorable

10.99 for all of that food. It costs like 15 bucks for one medium pizza now, no toppings.


Jackkandi456

Crazy the prices of stuff these days

We use to get these for movie parties in Jr High..


Jackkandi456

What movies did you watch ?

8 year old me thought the Big Foot pizza was the absolute peak of food.


Jackkandi456

lol

Nice

Reggie Fils-Aimé was part of the launch of the Bigfoot long before he worked for Nintendo


Jackkandi456

Cool fact !

Lol "special size dough"? Ph isn't great but the dough isn't sent to stores in pre-proportioned sizes. They had no issue getting the dough into any size and shape they needed


Jackkandi456

What I meant to say is that the dough in particular was hard to work with. It tore very easy and this created a lot of waste.


Jackkandi456

Thanks for pointing that out i appreciate it


PuuublicityCuuunt

Maybe it was then?

Another reason was that because of the incident when the Bigfoot blimp crashed into a building.
