Touching on the chain's previous reasons for dropping the product, Taco Bell says changes have been made to the menu item behind the scenes: They've streamlined operations to keep kitchens moving quickly, altered their ingredient sourcing, and tweaked the packaging to leave a lighter footprint.
"Our menu is full of fan-favorites, but the Mexican Pizza is at the top of that list," Mark King, Taco Bell's CEO, stated in the announcement. "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."
