You know I love some pizza, and I thought this was pretty cool. According to MyStateline, Little Caesars on 11th Street in Rockford just pulled something straight out of the future. They decided they no longer needed a counter, so they said, "Let's get rid of it." Which is a welcome change for those who loathe small talk when picking up to-go food, because now this Little Caesars is a fully self-serve location, which sounds weird, but also awesome if you're just interested in grabbing a Hot N Ready without the chat.

How the “No Counter” Setup Works

Anyway, here's how this "No Counter" thing will work at Little Caesars on 11th Street. Order your food on the app, walk in, and your pizza will be waiting in the Mobile Order Pickup Zone, as if it were meant to be. Even better, if you're someone like me, who didn't know he needed a Hot N Ready or Crazy Bread, you can also pick some of that up, too, because the kitchen is fully staffed, knocking out food.

Grand Opening Deal: Free Classic Pizza With Purchase

To celebrate the new look, they're also running a deal through mid-December, offering anyone using the app the promo code GRANDOPENING to receive a free Large Classic Pizza with the purchase of any Non-Classic Pizza. It's essentially a Buy One Get One, but in Little Caesars terminology, I guess. I'm sure some folks will have problems with the lack of a front-of-house staff at this Little Caesars and might even bemoan it: "This is how the robots take over?" Maybe? If that's the case, I'm cool with it, because these robots are bringing pizza.
