DETROIT, April 29, 2020 // PRNewswire // - Little Caesars, the global family-owned pizza chain that recently announced a 1 million pizza donation to healthcare workers and first responders, is announcing that its customers have already contributed an additional 125,000 pizzas to the effort by donating. The customer-donated pizzas are above and beyond the brand's 1 million pizza commitment.

Customer contributions will go toward pizza servings at hospitals, police departments, and fire departments around the nation over the coming weeks. Delivery of the customer-donated pizzas will be coordinated by Little Caesars and its thousands of independent franchisees.

"As a family company, we wanted to thank our healthcare heroes in the best way we know how - by delivering millions of wholesome meals to them around the country," says President and CEO of Little Caesars, Dave Scrivano. "The fact that so many of our customers have jumped on board to contribute even more shows that the spirit of kindness and generosity is alive and well, even during times of crisis."

Little Caesars recently announced contactless options for both delivery and carry-out through the Little Caesars app. Pizzas are baked in 475-degree ovens to ensure food safety and never touched after baking. Little Caesars is home of Pizza Portal, an order pickup method where customers can scan their phones and retrieve their orders from heated compartments, making the brand the only chain to feature truly contactless pickup nationwide. The chain has also reinforced cleanliness and sanitization procedures, increasing the frequency of cleaning commonly touched surfaces including door handles, glass, countertops, Pizza Portal surfaces, phones, and cash registers.
