Little Caesars tries bacon-wrapped crust pizza

Little Caesars has devised a brand new place to feed the public's obsession with bacon: wrapped around the pizza crust.

More specifically, 3 1/2 feet of bacon wrapped around the pizza crust.

Today, the innovative budget pizza chain will unveil plans to nationally roll out on Feb. 23 the Bacon Wrapped Crust Deep! Deep! Dish Pizza. At $12, the limited-time offer will be one of Little Caesars' priciest pizzas.

"Every time you take a bite out of the crust, you'll get bacon," says David Scrivano, CEO at Little Caesars. The pizza also comes with pepperoni and has bacon sprinkled on top. The promotion replaces the chain's Soft Pretzel Crust Pizza.

Like many food makers and food sellers, Little Caesars is looking for a new way to cash in on the nation's continued infatuation with all things bacon. Domestic bacon sales have climbed for five consecutive years, recently hitting the $4 billion mark, reports research specialist Information Resources. Bacon has shown up in recent years in everything from sundaes at Burger King to milkshakes at Red Robin.

Bacon makes everything better.

I didn't car for the pretzel crust they had, but will definitely try this.

 

[Mook]

The deep dish is the best thing they have there.

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

how can they add the pretzel aspect to this ?

 

[Sprayin]

Man. I said I would never go to Ceaser's again. I may have to amend that.

Agreed. I wonder if the bacon will make it even better...

There is no better food than the burnt cheese on the edge of a pan pizza. I would pay $10 for a bag of just burnt edge cheese. Now they're going to combine that with bacon? Some people just want to see the world burn.

Another 10/10

I love LC's deep dish, but that picture does NOT make it look appetizing

Your presentation needs work.

So the bacon on the crust, it was crispy, yes? Not chewy?

 

[Intel]

Dear metabolism, prepare yourself.

 

[RICH17]

Crispy and had no taste TBH. Regular deep dish is fine

Yeah bacon was crispy, along with the burnt pepperoni on top. Much better than the regular HnR pie we also got with it. Little better pic

Currently waiting on mine to be cooked

 

[Bruce Jibboo]

hope you have an appetite, got this once and APPROVED.

 

[Mook]

Not worth the upcharge. Outside of the bacon smell and smokier flavor (and the added crunch), you cant even tell there is bacon flavor wise. Pizza was still good but not worth the price they charge.
