Little Caesars served up more than pizza this weekend during the grand opening of its newest restaurant in Justice.
The pizza chain marked the occasion at 8350 S. Roberts Road with giveaways, music and community activities, but the fun did not stop there. As part of the grand opening celebration, the pizzeria rewarded the first 100 guests in line at 10 a.m. with free pizza for a year, and people took that seriously, lining up outside before seven in the morning.
Others enjoyed live music from a DJ, face painting, photo opportunities with the Little Caesars mascot and a prize wheel filled with giveaways.
Karim Khowaja, Little Caesars franchise owner who operates four locations in Illinois, led a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially welcome the store to the community. Khowaja, who lives in Park Ridge, said opening in Justice was an easy choice.
“We chose Justice because it’s a strong, family-friendly community where convenience really matters,” Khowaja said. “Little Caesars is built on the idea of quick, affordable meals, and I knew our Hot-N-Ready model would be a great fit for local busy families and individuals. What I like most about Justice is the supportive spirit and how the community embraces new businesses.”
Khowaja said his top recommendation for customers is the Hot-N-Ready classic pepperoni pizza, which remains a consistent favorite. “For an extra treat, the Crazy Bread is a must-have,” he added.
He also expressed appreciation for the turnout at the grand opening.
“I’m grateful for the warm welcome from the Justice community and excited to make Little Caesars part of people’s daily routines, whether that’s picking up dinner after work or grabbing pizzas for a weekend family night.”
As part of the celebration, customers who ordered online from the Justice location using the promo code GRANDOPENING received a free large classic pizza with the purchase of any non-classic pizza. The offer runs through Oct. 27.
The 1,100-square-foot restaurant, which opened its doors Aug. 26, has already brought 20 new jobs to the village. Hours are 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
