Little Caesars’s and Pepsi have come together for a tasty duet, and the return of a new-old Pepsi flavor…Pepsi Pineapple.
Starting July 17th, forces collide to make the Pepsi pineapple flavor available as a soda and pizza, exclusively at Little Caesar’s, for a limited time. The partnership has created the Pineapple Pair-Up Combo which is a 16-oz Pepsi Pineapple, and a large two-topping thin crust pizza for $9.99.
Greg Hamilton, Chief Marketing Officer, Little Caesars says, “There’s always a passionate discussion surrounding pineapple on pizza. Together with Pepsi, we’re satisfying ALL pineapple lovers, regardless of how they feel about it as a pizza topping. The Pineapple Pair-Up Combo gives our customers an exclusive opportunity to enjoy the tropical taste on their Thin Crust pizza, in their Pepsi or both.”
Pineapple Pepsi is not a new concept – it first came on the scene, and was tested in select markets in the early 90’s as part of the “Pepsi Wild Bunch” group of flavors. It was short-lived, and it wasn’t until 2020, that it would see a resurgence due to it’s popularity in Japan at the time. It only lasted for the duration of the summer, and once more was shelved, until now.
Odd ingredients have their place, whether part of a marketing campaign (Pizza Hut’s Pickle Pizza, hello) to drum up business, or as a foray into new territory but pineapple’s on a pizza have been consistently enjoyed for years. It’s something you either get, or you don’t.
