Taco Bell May Soon Have Some Good News For Mexican Pizza Fans
Taco Bell fans have been eagerly awaiting news about the return of the beloved Mexican Pizza. The fast-food chain has been teasing the return of the fan-favorite menu item for months, and now it looks like the wait may soon be over.
Taco Bell recently posted a teaser video on its social media accounts that showed a Mexican Pizza box with the caption, “Something’s cooking…” The video has since been deleted, but it’s clear that the chain is gearing up to bring back the beloved menu item.
The Mexican Pizza was first introduced in the late 1990s and quickly became a fan favorite. It consists of two crunchy taco shells layered with refried beans, seasoned beef, tomatoes, and a three-cheese blend. It’s then topped with a creamy jalapeno sauce and served with a side of sour cream.
Taco Bell has yet to confirm the return of the Mexican Pizza, but fans are already getting excited. If the rumors are true, it looks like Mexican Pizza fans will soon have something to celebrate.
Eat This Not That
If you’re looking for a healthier alternative to the Mexican Pizza, Taco Bell also offers a variety of other menu items that are lower in calories and fat. The Fresco Soft Taco is a great option, as it’s made with a soft flour tortilla, seasoned beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and a creamy jalapeno sauce. It’s also served with a side of salsa.
The Veggie Power Menu Bowl is another great option. It’s made with a bed of lettuce, black beans, guacamole, tomatoes, and a creamy cilantro dressing. It’s also served with a side of chips.
The popularity of Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza lives on, long past the item’s heart-breaking discontinuation in 2020. The love for the quesadilla-like item, especially popular among vegetarian customers, has prompted everything from petitions lobbying for its return, to sporadic rumors that it was, in fact, coming back soon.
One such rumor we recently wrote about was the now-debunked Halloween-inspired ad, supposedly promoting the item’s return to the menu back in October. The fake image cropped up in the Taco Bell Reddit community and claimed the iconic pizza was to return as a limited-time offer on October 5, in two different versions: Original and Bacon Ranch. And while October 5 (and the rest of October, in fact) came and went without the reappearance of Mexican Pizza, there may be something this rumor got right: it’s only a matter of time before the item comes back, and when it does, it is likely to be a limited-time offer.

We’d hate to cry wolf on this topic, but there’s once again word on the street that Taco Bell plans to bring the Pizza back. And this time, the speculations seem to be trickling down from the very top of the Mexican fast-food chain.
As The Takeout reported a few days ago, there’s now allegedly a video recording of Taco Bell’s vice president and COO Mike Grams confirming the return of Mexican Pizza. The video is said to be taken at a Taco Bell franchisee convention in September and subsequently leaked to Living Mas, a fan site for the chain that’s been a source of credible information for years.
While the video hasn’t been posted to Living Mas and we haven’t seen it, the site published a transcript in which Grams tells Liz Matthews, the chain’s chief innovation officer: “Okay Liz, we’re bringing back the Mexican Pizza!”
To boot, Living Mas says another credible source (a verified employee) confirmed the news of the Pizza’s return, saying it’s expected to be back on menus in April or May of 2022.
While the timing isn’t certain, it does seem that Mexican Pizza will make a comeback next year as a limited-time “experience” at Taco Bell. Also, crispy chicken without the sandwich? We’re all ears!
