The Nostalgic '90s Little Caesars Dessert Fans Still Can't Forget
Throughout the '90s,Little Caesarswas known for its quirky menu items, which were tested in some or all locations to determine whether they'd become popular, profitable products for the chain. Multiple threads online discuss some of the more well-known discontinued items, like Pepperoni Crazy Bread, the Big! Big! Bucket and Pizza by the Foot, however, one of the most obscure items to ever hit stores was an unusual and remarkable dessert: Chocolate! Chocolate! Ravioli! Ravioli!
Despite the pasta-inspired name, the treat wasn't baked dough at all. The "ravioli" shells were made of white chocolate and filled with a creamy milk chocolate center, typically sold in packs of two. It was often bundled as a bonus item inpizzapromotions rather than marketed as a standalone dessert. While never the star of the menu, it became a memorable footnote in the chain's experimental '90s lineup.
What Made Little Caesars Chocolate? Chocolate! Ravioli! Ravioli! Special?
People seemed to enjoy that the double exclamation name echoed the brand's famous"Pizza! Pizza!"slogan. For many kids of the '90s, it was the unexpected sweet surprise at the end of family pizza night—a novelty that felt indulgent and just a little strange.
Because it was reportedly discontinued by the late '90s and never widely revived, the dessert now lives mostly in memory, resurfacing in retro commercials and online nostalgia threads, and is particularly difficult to dig up in comparison to other vintage menu items. Its scarcity only amplifies its legend, turning what was once a small promotional extra into a cult-favorite memory.
