Little Caesars, the world’s third-largest pizza chain headquartered in Detroit, Michigan, is set to enter the Indian market, marking a significant expansion milestone for the iconic American brand.

India will become the 30th country in Little Caesars’ global network. The company is scheduled to open its first outlet in the Delhi-NCR region this month, with plans for additional locations across India in the pipeline.

“Launching in India marks an exciting milestone for Little Caesars as we expand into our 30th country,” said Paula Vissing, President, Global Retail, Little Caesars Pizza. “With our delicious pizzas and unbeatable value, we’re eagerly anticipating introducing a unique menu that we believe will captivate India.”

The move signals the brand’s commitment to expanding its international footprint and delivering its signature pizzas and value-driven offerings to a new and rapidly growing consumer base. In recent years, Little Caesars has also launched operations in countries such as Cambodia and Kuwait.

Founded in 1959 by Mike and Marian Ilitch as a single family-owned restaurant, Little Caesars has grown into a global pizza powerhouse. It is widely known in the U.S. for its “Hot-N-Ready” pizzas, Crazy Bread, and menu innovations like Crazy Puffs.

India’s pizza market presents robust opportunities. According to a report by IMARC Group, the sector was valued at USD 5.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 11.8 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 9.24% from 2025 to 2033.

The market is currently dominated by established global players such as Domino’s and Pizza Hut, alongside emerging Indian brands like La Pino’z, Brik Oven, and BOCS Pizza. Little Caesars aims to enter this competitive space with its unique value proposition and international brand appeal.
