Little Caesars is coming to WSU Pullman in 2025

Little Caesars has partnered with Washington State University's Dining Services to open a serving location in the Compton Union Building (CUB) food court in the spring. A grand opening date will be announced later as the space it will occupy may need renovations.

"We are very excited to bring a nationally recognized pizza brand to the food court and believe it will be very popular with our students," said Karee Shaw, director of the CUB. "It will complement the other concepts we have in the food court and offer variety to the campus community."

Core to the mission of Student Affairs, students helped select Little Caesars. The CUB Student Advisory Board weighed in on the selection of the new vendor and WSU students were involved in menu taste tests to help make the final decisions.

Plans to open a Little Caesars at WSU are part of an accelerated expansion of restaurants designed to meet the demand for flexible options and the growing preference for convenient dining. Across the nation, Little Caesars is opening eateries in university towns and college campuses, casinos, amusement parks, hospitals, zoos, and airports. At WSU, the food concept will be managed by WSU Dining Services, which also runs Freshëns and Carlitas in the CUB. With Little Caesars HOT-N-READY® menu items, including its recent launch of Crazy Puffs™, the brand is fully equipped to provide the types of delicious meals students crave.

Pullman students will be able to order Hot-N-Ready® pizzas from Little Caesars starting this spring. The restaurant will be managed by WSU Dining Services.

"We are thrilled to bring Little Caesars to the Washington State University campus, offering students, faculty, and staff a convenient, affordable, and delicious meal option," said Patrick Cunningham, vice president of U.S. Development at Little Caesars. "As we continue to expand our footprint across the country, it's exciting to be part of the vibrant campus life at WSU and serve the Coug community with our iconic Hot-N-Ready® pizzas and exceptional guest service."
