And it has been busy! While not being the only pizza place in town, Little Ceasars has had a steady crowd since opening on Sunday! The $1000j pepperoni pizza is a hit!

Wow...there is no way I would pay 10 bucks for a little Caesar's pizza, over a delicious Angela's pizza. But, I guess folks love what they are not use to.
Angela's has always been the best pizza in Negril in my opinion for as long as I can remember, but it has been a long time since any of her large pizzas were $1000j... And as of yesterday, $1000j is not us$10 but less than $7.50...
Rob, that's true, definite price difference. A group of us boardies always go to Angela's during bash week. the pizza, the pasta....unbelievable...
We are fans of our local Little Caesar. You can build your own like the bigger chains at half the price. Still can’t imagine eating it in Negril. Curious to see what the review is after things settle down.
Jojo,
It's not so much of "not what they are used to" as LC has been available on the island for years, but an affordable nearby option to quickly feed the family... Many people were getting the "family" options which include drinks and a side or two.
Rob, I hear that, but look how wildly popular KFC is , and that is more expensive than a lot of chicken options...…..they just need a White Castle now...…. ( grin )
sometimes i hate progress

Little Ceasars has been on the island for going on three years now. And like KFC, they seem to be providing something that the locals can enjoy, but at an affordable price. Like KFC, they are a locally owned franchise that employees workers, contributes to the economy and provides a taste that families like! Not bad for 3 years...
In the future, say 40 years from now, if LC becomes something generations have grown up with and continue to enjoy, then it may become an "institution" in Jamaica like KFC. Only time will tell...
What most Jamaicans look upon as "progress" getting fast food chains on the island, some tourists think of as a negative. I don't necessarily like having them there (as it reminds me too much of where I live) but Jamaicans want the options and variety they represent. I have the right to ignore them while in Jamaica just like I do when I am here in Florida.Quote:

Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine?
'Cause there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here
We satisfy our endless needs and justify our bloody deeds
In the name of destiny and in the name of God
And you can see them there on Sunday morning
Stand up and sing about what it's like up there
They called it paradise, I don't know why
You call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye
