Little Caesars replaced Pizza Hut as the official sponsor of the NFL. On social media, the restaurant chain announced the deal. Previously, Pizza Hut had been the king of the gridiron for about five years. But, this is a changing of the guard in a moment of massive growth for the National Football League. “Time to start practicing our touchdown dance because we’re the new official pizza sponsor of the @NFL!,” Little Caesars wrote. Detroit, Michigan is home to the chain, which is the third-largest in America. At different points in history, Little Caesars was the official pizza of the Motor City’s own Detroit Lions. Now, the NFL excited to begin the partnership and had some words about the move in a press release. Check out what they had to say right here.
