Little Caesars Pizza

I'll admit it, I was starting to worry. When rumors began circulating that the building housing Quebec's last Little Caesars would be torn down, my reaction went from disbelief to full-blown mozzarella-fueled panic. One by one, the businesses on that strip had already vanished, & when Tim Hortons quietly packed up years ago, it felt like a prophecy being fulfilled. I could already picture myself as Nero fiddling while Rome burned, except Rome was a tired Kirkland strip mall & the flames were made entirely of real estate rumors & existential pizza dread.

By 2025, Quebec is down to exactly one Little Caesars, tucked away at 3066 Boulevard Saint-Charles. At this point, it is no longer just a fast-food joint. It is a survivor. A cultural artifact. A brave little Hot-N-Ready lighthouse shining through the fog of gentrification. I have crossed an international border for this pizza before, back when Little Caesars was unavailable in Quebec, smuggling boxes home alongside alarming quantities of Dr Pepper like some kind of suburban soda-&-pepperoni kingpin. We have Dr Pepper here now. Civilization has advanced. But I refuse to believe progress means once again filing a customs declaration for'two large pepperonis & regret.'

So when the rumors flared up, I did what any responsible & emotionally stable adult would do. I went & bought a pizza, fully convinced it might be my last. I ate it slowly, reverently, with the focus usually reserved for final meals & championship games. Then came the glorious news. Little Caesars is not closing. It is simply relocating into the former Subway space, proving once & for all that even sandwiches have their limits. The fiddle can be put away. The ovens stay warm. The last Little Caesars in Quebec lives on. Please, buy the pizza. Buy two. Support the cause. Let's make sure none of us ever has to explain to a border agent again why our trunk is full of Hot-N-Ready. @mtlrestorap
