Behold: Bacon-Wrapped Pizza

[Cali_Democrat]

Little Caesars is known for its $5 pizza, Cinnamon Crazy Bread and otherwise average menu, but it's about to make a big name for itself with its new Bacon-Wrapped Crust Deep! Deep! Dish Pizza.

Smothered in cheese, topped with pepperoni and coated in 3 1/2 feet of bacon, this dish is every kid's dream and every parent's worst nightmare.

The creation, which also comes with caramelized cheese edges and bacon baked into the pie, looks like it would contain more calories than most are supposed to consume in one week.

It goes on sale Monday, February 23 for $12, and will be available for a limited time until late April. We're not quite sure what will happen when we try it, but as one Little Caesars executive said, "In Bacon We Crust!

1. Enough grease to lube my old car....

[yeoman6987]

18. They are a teese too....limited time! Ugh!

All the good food like that incredible rib sandwich at McDonalds is only limited time and don't get me started about the shamrock shake only being sold in March....I should be able to buy one in July if I chose too.....well at least March is soon and I can get my shamrock shake for the delicious month.....hurry up February and be gone....wasted month anyway. Well I really want it March!!!! Shamrock shake around the corner....now if only they decide it is rib sandwich time too....oh man will I be a happy person!!!!! Please!!!! I hope it happens.

21. I like the McRib, but the Shamrock Shake?

Like drinking toothpaste.

[yeoman6987]

24. Lol. I have heard that before from friends

They think I am nuts... I just like the taste....tartar control and all...lol.

[Revanchist]

42. Check in your area, the Shamrock Shake is already back

That being said, I've only had it once since they changed to the McCafe style. I prefer the original formulation in the white cup like they had in my youth.

2. That's worse than the nacho cheese thing

[Aerows]

39. I'm afraid to ask

What's the nacho cheese thing?

[giftedgirl77]

41. They have a pizza that instead of pizza sauce....

They use nacho cheese the salt the crust like a pretzel.

[Aerows]

45. OMG

Ewwww!

[giftedgirl77]

47. Even my teenage sons won't touch the stuff...

[bemildred]

3. In response to public demand no doubt.

How long has the government been stalling over purile concerns about long-term mortailty the fated unity of bacon and pizza.

[malaise]

7. I think they're all trying to cull the population

We don't eat pizza - period

[bemildred]

9. I stopped eating fast food, and avoid anything packaged.

Mostly I feed myself, though my wife is allowed, and friends.

Stopped drinking and stopped stressing myself out..

Lost 50 pounds, restored the use of my body, it still old but it works, and for 69 I feel pretty good and sharp as a tack, but lazy. So yeah.

When I started I weighed 245, had gout and allergies. Now I'm 195, no gout for two years now, and figure I'll do some backpacking this year. Stopped taking antihistamines altogether, where I was dependent.

I know, testimonials are not science. But my results were very empirical.


You might be right, but I think they just like to have someone to screw so they can know they are better.

[Revanchist]

44. Why not?

As long as you do it rarely and in moderation it really isn't that bad for you, especially if you make it from scratch. I still have a pizza recipe cookbook from the early/mid 90's with all types of different dough, sauce, and topping recipes as well as several variations on the pizza.

With today's high speed internet and the increased availability of healthier ingredients such as decent vegan cheese that melts I'm sure you could find or create a recipe that would meet your standards. If made properly and thoughtfully, pizza can be healthy.

[tabbycat31]

51. I had homemade pizza with garlic and kale

Whole wheat crust too. It was amazing. No vegan cheese though as I'm not a vegan.

But this bacon pizza sounds nasty and would make me throw up (I'm allergic to nitrates, which are in the bacon and pepperoni).

Lots of work for cardiac surgeons and cardiologists.

5. I just got heartburn looking at that pic

*burp* excuse me

[winter is coming]

6. That doesn't even look good. n/t

[Enrique]

10. same here

I like pizza and I like bacon but that pizza does not look good to me.

[cyberswede]

8. This SNL skit is more like real life every year.

[Cali_Democrat]

13. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

[lame54]

11. I like to eat mine between to pieces of chicken

[dilby]

12. This has given me an idea, instead of using dough just make the crust out of bacon.

It would be like a thin crust pizza and perfect for those who are on a low carb diet. And for the people who are health conscience or Jewish like me, use Turkey bacon. Well lets be honest there is nothing healthier about Turkey bacon but it makes some feel better.

[Revanchist]

34. Go big or go home!

[Fawke Em]

35. I'm allergic to pork, so turkey bacon is far more healthy for me!

Turkey doesn't send me to the hospital in need of a stomach pump and antigen shots.

14. Why is there a Little Caesars ad in GD?

I realize this is from HuffPo, but it reads like it was written by a Little Caesars marketing executive.

"...about to make a big name for itself..."

"...smothered in cheese..."

"every kid's dream"

"coated in 3 1/2 feet of bacon" ...which, if laid end-to-end is what, about 6 or 7 pieces of bacon?

[Agschmid]

15. No marketing exec would allow the sentence about the calories so no... It's not an ad.

[louis-t]

29. The ads are all over the 'news' today.

The Illitch family just got a whole bunch of free advertising. And, yes, it was written by a marketing executive.

[B2G]

16. Wish they delivered

Dominos is crap.

[yeoman6987]

20. Pizza Hut is the WORST!!!!

Can't stand them. Dominoes is not much better...PaPa John's is the bomb! Their pizza is the best....oh man it is dimmer time and since this bacon pizza is not on sale til the 23rd, it is a PaPa John's Pizza night. Yeah for me!!!!! That dipping sauce is absolutely delicious.

[B2G]

23. I like Papa John's too

Love their cheese sauce!

The Pizza Hut here used to be really good but they've totally gone down hill. These days we usually get take and bakes from Wolfman. Those are the bomb.

[yeoman6987]

25. I will give Wolfman a try...I am going to look where they are

I travel quite a bit so I would imagine I can find a place somewhere. I love all kinds of good pizza places.

[B2G]

26. Their Led Zeppelin is amazing

Have them leave off the fresh jalapenos if you don't like hot. And I do mean hot.

[yeoman6987]

27. Cool. Thanks. I will. I do like them but to a point.

[Egnever]

33. Ugh papa Johns owner is a complete dirt bag

Please try to find a decent mom and pop joint.

[RandiFan1290]

43. 'publicons like to support him. nt

[olddots]

17. the Lard works in mysterious ways

[glasshouses]

19. Bacon is food of the gods

[Hekate]

22. Heart attack on a plate. The herd is being fattened in the feedlot.....

But why?

[AtomicKitten]

28. Just looking at it made my gallbladder bark.

[kydo]

30. Ah .... Bacon

I love bacon! Donut King makes a maple and bacon donut. Bacon is what stops me from being a vegetarian. Mmmm Bacon.

[longship]

31. I'll take a beer with that.

Just make sure it is served in the appropriate mug.


Ahhhhh! Slurp! Nom nom nom nom! Slurp!

Life is grand as long as there is bacon.

[Drahthaardogs]

32. That is Porcherie not pizza

I would not feed that garbage to barn mice.

[Ken Burch]

36. Because pizza just wasn't unhealthy enough.

[Aerows]

37. Little Caeser's Pan! Pan!

Is my absolute favorite pizza, but I'll pass on the bacon crust. Maybe something is wrong with me, but I'm just not a big fan of bacon and ham. Grilled pork chops, on the other hand, are right up my alley!

[Liberal_in_LA]

38. so much fat and salt

[bigwillq]

40. Yuck.

That crust is way too thick for my tastes. I don't like deep dish.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

46. It keeps getting farther and farther away from real Italian pizza

I'd love to find a place in my neighborhood that serves up woodfired pizza, with the type of crust you find in Italy, with the type of cheese you find in Italy, with the type of spicy tomato sauce you find in Italy, and with the tasty olive oil they they put on top.

A few nights ago I tried a Round Table take out pizza. They charged me $17 for a small medium pizza that was barely edible and really no better than Lil Caesar. Where is the wonderful pizza I used to eat almost every other day when I lived in Europe?

[NM_Birder]

48. still in Europe.

[NM_Birder]

49. Kind of vague,.....have you been to Italy ? ;)

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

50. Absolutely

I've eaten pizza all over Italy.

[JimDandy]

52. The first post I've ever seen with 50 replies and Zero Recs.

And it had bacon in it!
