IRVINE, CALIF. - Taco Bell announced in a press release yesterday that a long-missed fan-favorite menu item will be making its return in exactly one month on May 19: the Mexican Pizza. “Our menu is full of fan-favorites, but the Mexican Pizza is at the top of that list,” Taco Bell CEO Mark King said. “From its flashy introduction to menus in 1985 as ‘Pizzazz Pizza’ to its inspiration behind the creation of infamous jingles, Mexican Pizza has a long history with the brand and I’m glad we could give fans what they crave and bring our classic Mexican Pizza back home where it belongs.” A change.org petition titled “Save the Mexican Pizza” reached nearly 200,000 signatures online and was acknowledged by Taco Bell in the press release announcing the menu item’s return.
