This year’s annual Detroit stops were especially significant as the brand celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Love Kitchen program. Recently, at Durfee Elementary-Middle School, the Little Caesars Love Kitchen proudly served its four millionth guest—a powerful moment that underscored the Love Kitchen’s mission to serve love, comfort, and hot pizza to those who need it most.

Throughout its 2025 hometown tour, the Love Kitchen visited numerous community organizations across Detroit and its suburbs, including Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries, the Salvation Army, Central United Methodist Church, St. Patrick Center, SAY Detroit, Boys & Girls Club, Michigan Veterans Foundation, Capuchin Soup Kitchen, COTS, Make-A-Wish Michigan, and several first responder locations.

Since its founding in 1985, the Love Kitchen has responded to national crises—from natural disasters like hurricanes and floods to times of social need like the COVID-19 pandemic. The program has brought its mobile pizza kitchen to all 48 contiguous U.S. states and four Canadian provinces, serving pizza with warmth, care, and a sense of dignity.

The Love Kitchen also partnered with the NFL for a memorable event during the NFL Draft in Green Bay. Together, they visited the New Community Shelter, where guests were served a celebratory pizza lunch, bringing smiles, full stomachs, and a continued commitment to community.

“This year, as we reflect on 40 years of service and celebrate serving our 4 millionth guest, we’re reminded of what the Love Kitchen truly represents,” said David Scrivano, CEO of Little Caesars. “It’s not just about pizza—it’s about showing up for our communities and sharing a slice of love when it’s needed most. That mission is only possible because of the people who power it.”

Over the past four decades, more than 50,000 Little Caesars franchise owners, team members, and colleagues have generously donated their time, food, and labor to support Love Kitchen servings in the neighborhoods where the brand operates. Their passion and dedication are what keep the wheels turning—literally and figuratively—on this long-running initiative.

As the Love Kitchen enters its next chapter, the commitment remains the same: to feed communities, support neighbors, and keep serving love, one slice at a time.

“As a third-generation franchisee, this recognition means so much to me, my family, and our incredible team members,” said Taylor Johns, Little Caesars franchisee. “The opportunity to carry forward our family’s over 40-year legacy with Little Caesars while serving our community when they need it most is a privilege, and this award reflects the hard work and heart that goes into every pizza we make.”

Johns’ grandfather opened the family’s first Little Caesars location in 1983. Since then, Johns has worked every role within the restaurant, from preparing pizzas to managing operations. His hands-on leadership style fosters a team culture built on camaraderie, trust, and shared goals and has made him a go-to source for advice within the Little Caesars franchise network.

The impact of his hard work and dedication extends far beyond Johns’ 16 locations across South Carolina. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Johns crossed state lines to assist in Newland, North Carolina, as part of the Little Caesars Love Kitchen initiative, which delivers fresh pizza to people in crisis. Along with 10 employees, Johns donated time, ingredients, and resources to feed families rebuilding after the storm. In addition, three of his Little Caesars locations serve as official Toys-for-Tots donation drop sites, supporting families in need during the holidays.

“Taylor’s journey with Little Caesars reflects our brand’s commitment to community service and family engagement,” said Paula Vissing, President, Global Retail at Little Caesars. “He sets a remarkable example for everyone at Little Caesars, and this honor is truly deserved for Taylor.”
