Little Caesars gets bigger; lands in India, its 30th global market

MUMBAI:  It’s looking at getting a slice of the Indian ready-to-eat pizza market. Little Caesars, the world’s largest family-owned pizza chain, has officially entered India, firing up ovens for its first store in Delhi NCR this June. The move makes India the thirtieth country on its global map, as the Detroit-based brand continues its rapid rise across continents.

Best known for its iconic Hot-n-ready pizzas, Crazy Bread and convenience-first formats like the Pizza Portal, the brand promises Indian pizza lovers a slice of the action that’s piping hot, pocket-friendly, and packed with flavour. But this isn’t just another import—Little Caesars is rolling out a customised India menu, marrying its American-style indulgence with local culinary punch.

“With our delicious pizzas and unbeatable value, we’re eagerly anticipating introducing a unique menu that we believe will captivate India,” said Little Ceasers president global retail Paula Vissing. “Our mission has always been to offer delicious, high-quality food at exceptional prices, and we can’t wait to introduce Little Caesars to families, students, and busy professionals throughout India.”

Spearheading the brand’s Indian innings is Harnessing Harvest, a powerhouse franchisee backed by nearly 90 years in Indian hospitality and a recent billion-dollar valuation. The company brings deep market savvy and a finger firmly on the pulse of evolving desi tastes, ensuring that Little Caesars doesn’t just land—it localises.

The Delhi NCR store is just the appetiser, with a wider India expansion already on the menu. With rising incomes and a growing appetite for global flavours, India’s fast-food game is heating up—and Little Caesars looks ready to bite into the action.

Having recently set up shop in Cambodia and Kuwait, Little Caesars’ India launch signals the brand’s growing global ambition. And with Detroit roots, a $150 billion pizza industry, and over six decades of dough mastery behind it, this is one pizza chain that’s not afraid to travel far and wide for a bigger piece of Bharat
