Little Caesar's
The "Bacon Wrapped Crust Deep! Deep! Dish" pizza will be available starting Feb. 23, the company said in a news release.
The company uses 3.5 feet of bacon to construct the crust.
The deep dish pizza is wrapped in bacon, then topped with pepperoni, cheese, and more bacon.
It costs just $12.
"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," Little Caesars Pizza CEO David Scrivano said in the news release.
One slice of the pizza has 450 calories.
The pizza is already a hit on social media.
