Little Caesars introduces new pizza with bacon-wrapped crust

PITTSBURGH — Little Caesars has introduced its newest menu item: the Bacon Wrapped Crust DEEP!DEEP! Dish pizza.

The pizza includes two types of bacon and classic pepperoni on a Detroit-style deep-dish crust.

Little Caesars says it is the first quick-service restaurant to offer a pizza with a bacon-wrapped crust.

Starting Feb. 23, the Bacon-Wrapped Crust DEEP!DEEP! Dish pizza will be available for a limited time at Little Caesars restaurants nationwide for $12 plus tax where applicable.

"We are the only national pizza chain to make our dough fresh each day in-store. That gives us a unique opportunity to try new ideas,” said Little Caesars Pizza President and CEO David Scrivano. "The Bacon-Wrapped Crust DEEP!DEEP! Dish is another example of how we're continuing to innovate and offer variety on our menu while fully leveraging our core strengths built around value, convenience and quality."
