Little Caesars Feeds Canada’s Bacon Obsession with New 3.5 Feet of Bacon Wrapped Crust DEEP!DEEP!™ Dish Pizza
Innovative Pizza Chain Offers another Menu First
DETROIT — By popular demand, Little Caesars® is bringing its wildly popular Bacon Wrapped Crust DEEP!DEEP!™ Dish pizza to Canada. The mouthwatering pizza packs a big flavour punch with two types of bacon and classic pepperoni on a Detroit-style deep dish crust. Little Caesars is the first quick service restaurant to offer a pizza with a bacon wrapped crust. The pizza launched in the United States in February to incredible fanfare. Starting April 27, the Bacon Wrapped Crust DEEP!DEEP! Dish pizza will be available for a limited time at Little Caesars restaurants throughout Canada for only $13.99 plus tax where applicable, at participating locations.
The new Bacon Wrapped Crust DEEP!DEEP! Dish pizza is an 8-corner deep dish pizza wrapped in decadent whole strips of thick-cut, crispy bacon, and then topped with pepperoni and even more chewy pieces of savoury bacon goodness. This new limited-time pizza offering is an extension of Little Caesars popular DEEP!DEEP!™ Dish product – an 8-corner, large pizza featuring a crunchy crust with caramelized cheese edges and topped with pepperoni and cheese.
“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.” said Little Caesars Pizza President and CEO, David Scrivano.
“Little Caesars focuses on giving customers new flavours and choices at a great value and with the sense of fun we’re known for,” said Edward Gleich, Senior Vice President of Global Marketing. “With the new Bacon Wrapped Crust DEEP!DEEP! Dish we’re pushing pizza to its bacon limits with more than 3 ½ feet of bacon wrapped around the crust alone. It’s unabashedly delicious.”
