Taco Bell's Mexican pizza is back, and fans are fired up (The Washington Post)

Nafisaria Mathews's weekend plans are set — and they revolve around discs of tortilla stacked with refried beans, ground beef and cheese.

(“2 more days until the Mexican Pizza is back and all my problems go away,” wrote one fan this week.) Maybe not, but given everything going on in the world, I’m not about to “meh” anyone else’s yum. And the promised “Mexican pizza sauce” seemed more like a hint of the chain’s usual chile-tinted spread found elsewhere on the menu. And it’s true, the dish has the beans, beef, cheese and sauce of its rolled-up brethren. When the company dropped it in 2020, “we were surprised by the little bit of backlash — it was tough to take off the menu,” he said in an interview. Okay, but does the Mexican pizza actually live up to the hype? “We are droooooling over this property & the fact that Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza can be found only a few blocks away … Both COMING SOON!” it read, punctuated by a pair of pizza slice emoji.

"I wish that Taco Bell didn't discontinue it a year ago." Customers must order on the mobile app for in-store or drive-thru orders at participating locations. Taco Bell eliminated the Mexican Pizza, along with four other foods, in November 2020 in an effort to create a faster and "more seamless" restaurant menu and experience.

Taco Bell Menu Brings Back Its Classic Mexican Pizza (Sort Of) (TheStreet)

It could be breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It could be a pick-me-up after a bad date or a terrible day at work. It could be shared between friends over an episode ...

The rest of the Mexican Pizza tastes about the same as I remember, from cheese to tomatoes. This shell has less of the lip-smacking flavor of the original, and the texture has changed a bit as well. I dropped the Bell an email to find out more, which it has not yet replied to at the time of this writing. And one thing is for sure: it is most definitely not the same. But whatever it was, when the Yum! Brands ( YUM) - Get Yum! Brands, Inc. Report chain announced back in September 2020 that it intended to discontinue the Mexican Pizza because the packaging was wasteful and costly, I was absolutely devastated. Maybe the crispy shell and the warm filling combo just hit all the right notes.

I love Taco Bell Mexican Pizza. But you should really try mulitas ... (AZCentral.com)

Taco Bell relaunched Mexican Pizza, but you'll find better mulitas, puffy pizza and birria pizzadilla at Phoenix restaurants like AZ Taco King.

The best and most lovingly executed Mexican pizza I've had is actually made right here in the Valley at a small takeout joint off Bethany Home Road and Interstate 17. And it will definitely challenge you to "think outside the bun." No doubt fueled by the Instagram birria craze, AZ Taco King off Camelback Road near the I-17 makes the biggest version of the birria pizza I've ever seen. The surrounding tortillas shield your mouth from the intense savory flavors of the meat, or in the case of the Taco Bell Mexican Pizza, the unsettling textures of the mass produced ground beef filling. The Nene Pizza is one of the best things on the menu, and these guys are known for their outstanding Ciudad Obregón-style tacos. And while I wouldn't expect it, this place also makes a great tomato sauce, just sweet and chunky enough to counter the spicy pork on top. And the Mexican Pizza is likely no exception. They're extraordinary, and after trying a few, my go-to order has become the lengua with a melted white and yellow cheese blend. LA rapper Doja Cat, a spokesperson for the restaurant, claims to love Taco Bell Mexican Pizza so much that she's teaming up with Dolly Parton to make a Mexican Pizza musical, according to USA TODAY. At its worst, it's a misnamed poser masquerading as Mexican pizza, but bearing no resemblance to the real deal. I'm a little embarrassed to write this as a professional food critic, but I was legitimately excited when Taco Bell announced that it's bringing back the Mexican Pizza on May 19. Much like Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza, which can be eaten in the car with one hand at 2 a.m., the mulita became a popular street food in part because it's easy eating.
