The Taco Bell Mexican Pizza is Back!

The Taco Bell Mexican Pizza is Back!

Update - 5/28/2022

A lot of people have complained that the Taco Bell Pizza is not the same, that Taco Bell had changed their pizza crust, and that it is harder and more oily. Lots of complaints spread all over Twitter. Well, I went there today to see for myself and the location nearest me is located on Market Street in West Akron.

Drum roll...are you ready for some truthing????

It was as advertised, $4.49 and exactly the same as before! It was delicious!!! 

Not only that, I'm going back for more and more, it's the best thing on their menu.

The only thing disappointing about the pizza was that the packaging was also the same. When they're saying they are trying to be environmentally friendly, the least they could have done is put our pizza in a thicker bag with a slide-out cardboard bottom. they could have tried something different, but they didn't, everything is exactly the same as was before.

The Taco Bell Mexican Pizza is Back!

Missing from their menu for nearly two years Taco Bell is bringing back the Mexican Pizza

This menu favorite will permanently return beginning May 19, the chain confirmed Monday. 

Taco Bell eliminated the pizza in November 2020 as part of a streamlining and simplifying of its menu choices during the height of the pandemic that they say helped them shed complexities and costs.

The Mexican Pizza consists of a tortilla shell filled with either beans, ground beef, pizza sauce, and is topped with another tortilla shell that’s smothered with more sauce, cheese, and chopped tomatoes. This menu favorite has been around since 1985. 

Everyone was shocked and outraged when Taco Bell first removed this from their menu. I guess it was really only a matter of time before they would bring this back.

In its return Taco Bell says they have improved the item’s packaging, to eliminate some of their previously excessive waste. They’ve reported that disposal of the pizza’s packaging amounted to more than 7 million pounds of paperboard per year. Their intentions are to leave a lighter footprint on the environment and be more cost-efficient. So, we’ll just have to wait and see what the new packaging will look like.

Your new Mexican Pizza will be priced at $4.49 and we’ll have to see what combo prices will be as they have not yet been revealed.

Mark your calendars May 19th will be a happy day!
