Little Ceasers is about to take on a popular American comfort food with its new Frito Pie Pizza. Though still in the testing stages, the new pizza would be a delicious new way to enjoy corn chips.
Frito Pie is a beloved dish that combines chili, cheese, and corn chips, with traditional taco fixings such as salsa, refried beans, sour cream, and jalapeños. Little Ceasers' new Frito Pie Pizza channels this dish into pizza form by combining a thin pizza crust with chili cheese sauce, taco sauce, and cheese. The whole thing is served with a bag of Chili Cheese Fritos, which can be sprinkled on top for extra crunch. The new dish is currently being tested at select locations in Tennessee.
