ST. CLAIRSVILLE Ohio Valley Plaza is now the home of the area’s newest Little Caesars Pizza.

According to Lloyd Hughes, director of operations for the company owning the franchise, BRK Inc. of Parkersburg, the location at the Ohio Valley Plaza is a good fit for the pizza shop.

“The Ohio Valley Plaza is a great location you can come here and do all of your shopping and now now you can stop by Little Caesars and get your pizza ‘Hot-N-Ready,'” he said.

This marks the seventh franchise for the company and their first in Belmont County. They also own the Little Caesars in Cambridge. The shop in Kmart at the Ohio Valley Mall is not associated with BRK Inc., Hughes said.

When it comes to fast service, Little Caesars offers “Hot-N-Ready” items that are available for immediate take out.

“Hot-N-Ready” means customers don’t have to call ahead to get the pizza. Large pepperoni pizza and cheese pizza are ready to go, right of the oven all day long without the wait.

Customers can walk in and get large pepperoni or cheese pizzas, or the “Crazy Combo” made up of crazy bread and sauce.

From 4 until 8 p.m., there is more than just pizza on the Hot-N-Ready menu list, when customers can walking-in and get Caesar Chicken Wings or Italian Cheese Bread, also without the wait. Caesar wings are available in Buffalo, oven-roasted or barbecue. Italian Cheese Bread is freshly baked and topped with cheese and Italian seasonings.

Of course, customers are still welcome to call ahead and order “specialty pizzas” with their choice of their favorite toppings and have it ready for pick-up.

The new location is located next to Kroger at the Ohio Valley Plaza and is open 11 a.m. until 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. until midnight on Friday and Saturday. For more information or to place an order call 740-695-1858.
