That mascot dude can only say one word, right? All these years and Little Caesars just propped this guy up\u2014handicap and all\u2014and let him be the clown prince face of the company. <\/p>\n

\u201cPizza! Pizza!\u201d<\/p>\n

Translation: \u201cPlease pick up my kids after school. I have to work late tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPizza! Pizza!\u201d<\/p>\n

Translation: \u201cPlease. I don\u2019t want any more pizza.\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, say hello hello to the new Bacon Wrapped Crust Deep! Deep! Dish Pizza. And judging from the amount of pork on this thing, they taught Caesar to say another word. \u201cBacon! Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Bacon!\u201d That\u2019s eight times, said by four Little Caesar guys, which is enough fellas to be pallbearers at my funeral after I die from bacon-itis (a.k.a. heart disease).<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

The pizza is a \u201cDetroit style\u201d deep dish with bacon wrapped around the corners and with bacon bits sprinkled on top. I\u2019m not completely sure what Detroit style deep dish is, but if this is any representation, it originated from a Detroit elementary school lunch program. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s crazy (like their bread!) that a pizza can be so greasy yet so dry and bready in the middle. But we\u2019re here for the bacon. And the bacon presents a dichotomy. At first bite, the bacon on the crust is not as salty as expected, thus less tasty. It is fairly crispy and adds a slight textural curveball, although it overshadows the existing deep dish crust instead of amplifying it. A few slices in, however, it\u2019s better that the saltiness is turned down a bit as pizza eating is a marathon and not a sprint. It\u2019s so much of a marathon, in fact, that they\u2019re adding it to the Olympics. But the Winter Olympics. Cross country ski a while, shoot a rifle, and then scarf down a personal pan pizza.<\/p>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

The bacon bits are similarly bland-ish and while the bacon that lines the crust adds a small amount of smoky flavor, the bits just add grease and a tiny bit of sweetness. To be fair, I\u2019ve seen pictures of other people\u2019s orders and it seems like they spilled way more on my pizza and decided I look like some sort of pork beast that wouldn\u2019t mind. They half-pegged me. I am a pork beast, but I did mind a little bit. The pepperoni did its job fine but frankly it was out-smoked by its meat cousin. A different ingredient could have expanded the flavor dynamics a bit more. This pork beast disapproves.<\/p>\n

The difference between this one and the regular non-bacon deep dish pizza is four bucks. You\u2019re probably better off frying some up and placing it on top of the pie yourself for that price. I don\u2019t think the bacon they use is great quality and the promise of a bacon wrapped crust does not enhance the flavors any more than just eating some bacon alongside some cheap pizza. That\u2019s where we\u2019re at, people. I just wrote \u201ca bacon wrapped crust does not enhance\u2026\u201d You bastards. You broke bacon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The aforementioned elementary school quality does tick off some sort of nostalgia box, though. The spongy dough punctuated with a greasy slick finish of lubricated cheese. Takes me back to pogs, algebra, and reading out loud in class. <\/p>\n

Oh, gorsh. Imagine Little Caesar reading out loud in class. <\/p>\n

\u201cKids, turn to page 67 of Animal Farm. Caesar, can you read for us?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cPizza! Pizza! Pizza\u2026 Pizza? Pizza. Pizza.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYou can tell Orwell is paralleling the Bolshevik Revolution because of the tone in which Caesar said \u2018pizza.\u2019\u201d <\/p>\n

Welp, that mascot dude found a job and made a decent living after all. I hope he gets to date Wendy from Wendy\u2019s (the older one, not the little kid). God bless America, America.<\/p>\n
