You just knew that with the wonderful mullet and fun personality, marketing opportunities would come fast and furious for former Iowa offensive lineman Gennings Dunker. Now a Pittsburgh Steeler, Dunker is helping Casey's promote a fan favorite pizza back for the summer of 2026!

Casey's Brings Back a Fan Favorite Pizza

Casey's might sell gas, but they're known for pizza. I can't count the number of pieces of breakfast pizza I've had in my lifetime, and the taco pizza is top-notch. Now, the Des Moines Register reports that Casey's is bringing back a pizza that was discontinued back in 2022. And they got former Hawkeye Gennings Dunker to help roll it out! Welcome back, Bacon Cheeseburger pizza!

What is on the Bacon Cheeseburger Pizza?

I mean, this should be pretty obvious. The Register reports that the pizza is topped with cheese, beef, bacon, pickles, onions, and Thousand Island dressing. Casey's has also added fries as a side that you can order alongside your bacon cheeseburger pizza. A video from Casey's shows Gennnings Dunker putting the fires ON TOP of his pizza. So that's how offensive linemen put on weight!

 

The New Pizza Is Here for a Limited Time Only

The Register reports that the Bacon Cheeseburger pizza is available now at Casey's locations, but only until September 8th. The fries will be part of Casey's permanent menu going forward. You have all summer to get to Casey's and try the new pizza and fry combo. Just make sure and get your order in before Gennings does!
