— -- Is America ready for bacon-wrapped pizza? Doesn’t matter, because it’s getting it this coming Monday.

Little Caesars announced its new “Bacon Wrapped Crust DEEP!DEEP! Dish pizza,” a behemoth of a pie with two types of bacon and classic pepperoni on a Detroit-style deep dish crust.

Little Caesars described it as 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 savory bacon goodness.”

The $12 pie clocks in at 450 calories per slice with 830mg of sodium and will be available for only a limited time at participating locations.

"Little Caesars focuses on giving customers new flavors and choices at a great value and with the sense of fun we’re known for,” Little Caesars senior vice president of global marketing Edward Gleich said in a statement. "With the new Bacon Wrapped Crust DEEP!DEEP! Dish we’re pushing pizza to its bacon limits with more than 3 1/2 feet of bacon wrapped around the crust alone. It’s unabashedly delicious. That’s why we like to say, ‘In Bacon We Crust!’”

Clearly Little Caesars is very excited about the new offering that a spokesperson called “indulgent” to ABC News, but how does the rest of American feel? Let’s find out.
