FINALLY...Taco Bell Is Bringing Back Mexican Pizza This May (wkdq.com)

After a nearly two-year hiatus and countless complaints, a longtime favorite is returning to the Taco Bell menu.

Mexican Pizza will be back on Taco Bell's menu starting on May 19th. Still, thousands were begging and pleading to have Mexican Pizza back on the menu. Remember in 2020 when the world was furious at Taco Bell for removing multiple menu items including potatoes, spicy chicken, and Mexican Pizza? Yeah, those were some dark times.

If you're in the mood for a cheesy, beef-topped pizza that simultaneously tastes like a tostada for under $5, you're in luck.

Taco Bell just announced in a press release that it will be re-adding Mexican Pizza to its menu after having removed it in 2020. Note: There is a $12 minimum to use the coupon. Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza, previously dubbed Pizzazz Pizza, first appeared on the menu in 1985. This came as a major disappointment to many of its fans. Taco Bell has announced that its Mexican Pizza will officially return to the menu on May 19, 2022 after a two-year hiatus. The popular item could also be made vegetarian-style sans beef.

Contrary to the internet lists ranking Taco Bell's food items, the best thing on the menu is not the Crunchwrap Supreme or the Cheesy Gordita Crunch.

Even my grandmother — a woman not fond of most cuisines aside from Filipino — enjoyed the simple pleasure of the pizza. A Change.org petition started shortly after the Mexican Pizza was pulled off menus in 2020 has racked up more than 170,000 signatures — pushed in large part by a South Asian petitioner and fans who turned to Taco Bell for vegetarian fast-food cravings (including the pizza) long before vegan substitutions and Impossible meats were popularized in fast food. The pull of melty cheese when you grab a “slice” has the appeal of a personal pan pizza.
