are already selling out of their Mexican Pizza days after its long-awaited return."Because of the incredible love for the Mexican Pizza, we have begun selling out across the country," the company announced on its website. "Our restaurant teams trained weeks for what we knew would be a big return, we just didn't realize how big, and replenishing the beloved menu item is taking longer than we’d like.""We’re working diligently with our restaurants and suppliers to get more back in the hands and stomachs of our biggest fans," the company's statement continued. RELATED: Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza returns to menus this weekAfter a social media outcry, the Mexican Pizza made its much-anticipated return to Taco Bell’s menu earlier this month.
The Mexican Pizza, made up of two crispy flour shells, layered with beans, pizza sauce, seasoned beef, tomatoes and a melted three-cheese blend, officially hit the menu on Thursday, May 19.
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.
