LOS ANGELES - Little Caesars, the nation’s third-largest pizza chain, has partnered with Serve Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ:SERV) to offer autonomous robot delivery for customers in Los Angeles through the Uber Eats (NYSE:UBER) platform, according to a press release statement issued Tuesday. Serve Robotics, currently trading at $10.74, has shown strong momentum with significant returns over the past three months, according to InvestingPro data.
The partnership enables Little Caesars customers within Serve’s Los Angeles delivery area to receive their pizza orders via sidewalk robots. Serve’s third-generation robots feature expanded cargo bins capable of carrying four large 16-inch pizzas plus additional menu items while maintaining food temperature during transit. While the company maintains a strong balance sheet with more cash than debt, InvestingPro analysis indicates the company is currently working toward profitability.
"Little Caesars is always looking for ways to be innovative in the restaurant industry, and we are proud to partner with Serve Robotics and Uber Eats to deliver our delicious pizzas to our customers in Los Angeles," said Trish Heusel, VP of Innovation at Little Caesars.
The collaboration expands Serve’s presence on the Uber Eats platform, which already offers the company’s robotic deliveries in Miami, Dallas and Atlanta. Additional U.S. cities are planned for expansion in the near future.
Megan Jensen, Head of Autonomous Delivery Operations at Uber Eats, stated, "We’re excited to bring autonomous delivery to even more Uber Eats customers through our partnership with Serve Robotics, now delivering Little Caesars orders."
Serve Robotics, which spun off from Uber in 2021 as an independent company, has completed tens of thousands of deliveries for enterprise partners. The company has contracts to deploy up to 2,000 delivery robots on the Uber Eats platform across multiple U.S. markets.
Little Caesars customers can access the autonomous robotic delivery option through the Uber Eats app. With analysts forecasting sales growth of 226% for the current year, investors seeking detailed insights can access comprehensive analysis and 10+ additional ProTips through InvestingPro’s exclusive research reports, available for over 1,400 US stocks.
In other recent news, Serve Robotics Inc. reported a significant revenue increase for the first quarter of 2025, with a 150% sequential growth to $440,000. Despite this revenue surge, the company experienced a larger-than-expected loss, with an earnings per share of -$0.16. The financial results fell short of market expectations, impacting investor sentiment. Additionally, Serve Robotics has expanded its autonomous sidewalk delivery service to the Atlanta metro area, marking its fourth major market. This expansion is part of its ongoing partnership with Uber Eats. The company’s robots are now serving over 50,000 residents in Atlanta’s Midtown, Old Fourth Ward, and Downtown areas. Serve Robotics’ national delivery partnership with Shake Shack Inc. will also extend to Atlanta. These developments highlight the company’s efforts to broaden its market presence despite recent financial challenges.
