Morale during the pandemic hit rock bottom on November 5th, 2020, which of course was when Taco Bell dropped the Mexican Pizza from their menu. (???)
But now it's official: They're bringing it back, starting on May 19th. In a press release, Taco Bell says that the fan outcry and online petitions convinced them that the Mexican Pizza deserves a place on the menu.
When they dropped the Mexican Pizza in 2020, they said it was because its packaging was overly wasteful. They didn't directly address that now . . . but they did say their team found a way for the pizza to "leave a lighter footprint."
