Little Caesars introduces bacon-wrapped crust pizza
 

Yum!

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

Its popularity is sizzling.
"Bacon has become the ultimate indulgence," says Darren Tristano, executive vice president at Technomic, a research firm. As a comfort food, bacon has emotional connections for many consumers with Mom-made breakfasts and weekend morning family occasions."
But there's another silent driver, says Tristano. "It's a rebellious show of strength by many consumers to show that the health and wellness traction is like car tires spinning on ice."
Even then, if you want to enjoy that slice of bacon-crusted pizza, you might not want to look at the nutritionals. A single slice weighs in at 450 calories; 23 grams of fat; 830 milligrams of sodium and 40 milligrams of cholesterol.
"You can always get a plain, cheese pizza or a veggie pizza," points out Scrivano. "This is a more indulgent offering for a demographic that craves premium quality."
The concept, says Scrivano, came from Little Caesars' R&D team. A team member was dining out a few years ago and ordered a bacon-wrapped filet. That dining experience spurred the team to figure out a way to wrap bacon around the pizza crust, he says.

Among them, it could slow things down in the kitchen. The added complexity of wrapping bacon around the crust could disrupt efforts to sell other products, he says. Also, much like fast-food items like french fries and burgers, bacon wrapped around pizza crust might not "travel" so well, he warns.
At the same time, this is a bit of a stretch for Little Caesars, which typically appeals to a budget-minded customer, says Tristano. But with gas prices down and disposable incomes rising, the timing could work in the chain's favor, he adds. "Timing is everything," says Tristano, "and the timing for consumer spending and bacon's popularity may align for Little Caesars."

:drool:

You can bacon-wrap shit and it's still going to taste like shit.

dumb people love bacon

Jesus Christ, might as well just inject death straight into your heart.

Would rather eat a whole Little Ceasar's pizza than read another Deberg thread

Pizza hut has crust stuffed with bacon now too.

You can shit-wrap bacon and it's still going to taste like bacon.

people with taste buds love bacon, bitch.

LMAO

Can't stand most bacon wrapped foods. It ends up just tasting like bacon. You might as well just order plain bacon.

bacon is a strong taste, don't need to add much


bacon bits in salad taste good though


bacon and egg sammich :drool:

It's a way to dress up foods with no taste or bad taste

I had that several months ago when it was introduced. It didn't do much for me. It was just bacon bits.

good to know, i haven't tried it yet

I did try the new balsamic vinegar drizzle stuff though and it didn't do much either. Their new garlic butter crust is good though.

That bacon looks drier than Betty White's vagina

Yeah, I thought the same. I didn't like the drizzle, but the new crust that I tried was good.

I haven't ordered from them recently though (like 2 months or so).

You know what I don't get? The pretzel pizza. That just sounds nasty to me. And I freaking love pretzels. And pretzel bun burgers. But slathering a bunch of "cheese" sauce on a pretzel crust and then putting pizza toppings on it sounds nasty to me.

I've tried the toasted cheddar crust too.


It was pretty good but it's very strong, could be too much with certain toppings.

It's not advertised, but try the ginger boom boom. Freaking awesome

I am going to get one of those right now and stuff my gut until I throw up.

This chain should be outlawed along with McDonalds
 

I know the people who own our local little Caesars. The pizza is so bad my 3 children will not eat it. SO they came out with deep pan. My children hated it. SO they came out with the pretzel pizza, it was inedible. Literally, inedible. SO now bacon pizza. I will not punish my family by trying it. This chain will go down burning in the end. We are addicted to food that is bad for us but I can not even get my 3 children to eat this menu. Do not even bother how bad it is for you in comparison to the other chains, they are making millions selling street meth to families hoping nobody discovers speed for a few cents more. Bad stuff, bad chain, stay away or die wishing you had spent the extra dollar for a much better high. :banghead:

You seem nice

Wait, you give your kids speed?

How else would you interpret that? I know that's an analogy but selling meth to families when they can just get speed if they pay a little more is funny as hell.

Of all the things, he chose street drugs to clarify his point.

Pizza Patron vs Little Ceasars. Who wins ?

Why would I solicit street hookers for my family when I could just pay a little extra for a formal escort service? Who's with me?

I wpuld rather never eat bacon again than read another Deberg thread.

I could eat bacon on a breakfast pizza. Any other time, nah.

The little pizzas by my house isn't bad. For the price, I'd rather have it over pizza hut or dominoes. Nothing can beat papa johns though

Why don't they just go the next step and make the entire pizza out of bacon?

Then it'll just be bacon

My high school served little caesars for lunch every monday.

Bastards switched to Papa Johns after I graduated. :cuss:

But then you don't get the satisfying afterglow of laying on the couch feeling bloated while sweating a combination of pig grease and plastic cheese.

Bacon stuff crust is better.

You are describing the best type of woman.

I'd eat the hell outta both

:eek:
