Little Caesars is working overtime to help sate the bacon cravings of America.

In a new creation called the Bacon Wrapped Crust Deep! Deep! Dish Pizza, the chain restaurant has wrapped 3 1/2 feet of bacon around the sides of a deep-dish pizza with pepperoni and bacon bits sprinkled on top. It costs $12 and is the replacement for the Soft Prezel Crust Pizza.With 450 calories, 23 grams of fat, 830 mg of sodium, and 40 mg of cholesterol in one slice, USA Today reports it's being heralded as "a more indulgent offering" from the pizza menu by Little Caesars CEO David Scrivano."You can always get a plain, cheese pizza or a veggie pizza," he said in response to health concerns.Scrivano admits the pizza could have negative results on the restaurants, including the possibility of order disruptions caused by the amount of time it will take to successfully wrap bacon around the entire crust. He also notes that bacon-wrapped fast food items do not necessarily always travel well.The Bacon Wrapped Crust Deep! Deep! Dish Pizza will be available starting February 23 through April.In other food-related news, select Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants in the Philippines have been serving a hot dog wrapped in a chicken breast bun , and two IGN editors recently tried 3D-printed pizza Photo Credit: Little Caesars Enterprises
