PIZZA SHOWDOWN - Little Caesar's vs. Shakey's

This past week I've had both pizza's fo' free by various means.  At regular price, though, Shakey's is about 2.5x times more expensive for a large pizza.  Is the extra $$$ worth it?  Find out in the first ever Tacographics PIZZA SHOWDOWN.

In the red corner: Little Caesar's cheese pizza.  $5 for a Large.  Yes, this is the choice for getting the most out of your Lincoln.  I would say this is the Del Taco of pizza, you can feed 2 (not fat) people for seemingly chump change.  As for the 'zza itself - just the right amount of ingredients and not greasy.  Very mild sauce and a medium-thick crust.  IT WAS PIZZA.


Fat rating: 5/10

Salt rating: 7/10

Taste rating: 6.5/10

In the blue corner: Shakey's cheese pizza.  I think 12.49 for a large (don't quote me on that).  This was a thin-style 'zza and obviously a little higher quality.  The light crispy crust version compared to their original style is a 1000x better because it's not a glorified cheese stick.  Even this version was a bit on the cheesy side, but the real difference is the sauce.  Shakey's sauce is damn good, smooth and not really like any sauce I've had; though I'm not going to sit here and claim to be a a pizza elitist. 


Fat rating: 4.5/10

Salt rating: 7.5/10

Taste rating: 7/10

Verdict:  Little Caesar's I would eat anytime for the price, Shakey's is obviously a better, more natural tasting pizza.  Bottom line: PIZZA IS PIZZA.  IT'S CHEESE, SAUCE, AND COOKED DOUGH.  IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT YOU'RE A COMMUNIST.
