I was watching Big Bang with my hubby on the telly. A commercial caused him to pause in mid-sentence. What was the object of his sudden interest? Pizza! Bacon wrapped pizza! So when he said it looked good and that he'd like to try it, I decided to indulge the love of my life with some artery-clogging fun. Little Caesar's had closed in downtown Saline, but a new franchise had opened at the dreaded Walmart mall on the east edge of town. I had vowed not to frequent this mall due to my dislike for The Evil Wallyworld Empire, but recently we had decided to try Oscar's sports bar and since then we've decided that the businesses on the periphery are not infused with evil by mere proximity. Initially I tried to order online, since I often find that there is much less confusion when I can see all the possibilities in front of me, but I could not find a way to do that. I seem to have a recollection of ordering online from Little Caesar's, but it's such an old memory that I could be wrong. So I looked up the number and asked for the pizza with the bacon wrapped 'round. I thought I'd have to choose toppings, so I started rattling off a few ... only to find that there is a pre-set set of stuff that goes on top the DEEP! DEEP! Dish Bacon Wrapped Crust pizza. OK, whatever you got, then. I asked how long it would be. It only takes twelve minutes for one of these to pop out the other side of the oven, so in about the time it took me to get there, it was ready for me. I noticed that they had grab 'n' go salads for $5. The place is small. There is only room for two chairs, to wait for your pizza, and no table. So it's not a sit down and eat it right there kind of place. I was a bit surprised that the pizza was not as huge as I was hoping. Only eight slices (for $12) but each has bacon on two sides of the crust. The bread is nearly 1" thick but it's very light. Not heavy at all. It is not overly salty and has none of the bitterness that you sometimes get from wheat flour. It is actually just a tiny hair sweet, due to the lack of saltiness. One of the better pizza crusts that I've had in a long time. The tomato sauce was OK. Maybe I would have wanted just a little more, but I'm a lycopene addict. And the meaty toppings were not quite enough. Hubby threw a few slices of lunch meat on each slice. I added a salad that I made at home and we dug into our carnivorous, cholesterol-laden feast. Hey, we both had the lipid panel this year already, and passed with flying colors. Not quite A-OK, but not Meh! either. We have satisfied our curiosity, Back to our fave!
