Fans across the internet went wild when news broke that Taco Bell was adding the ever-popular Mexican Pizza back to their menu. And it turns out that all the hype was no joke! The Mexican fast food chain is already running out of this menu item—and they’ve only been serving it for a few weeks!
Demand for this delicious meal is seven times higher this time around than it was last time it was on the menu in 2020. After removing the Mexican Pizza and other items from their menu in order to cut down on costs and focus on more popular meals, Taco Bell later gave into fans’ please to serve it once again—and now customers are more enthusiastic than ever! So enthusiastic, in fact, that it’s selling out across multiple stores.

“Because of the incredible love for the Mexican Pizza, we have begun selling out across the country,” the restaurant announced on their 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.”
On twitter, Taco Bell said that they “working as fast as [they] can to restock the Mexican Pizza ingredients.” These ingredients consist of seasoned beef, refried beans, round taco shells, pizza sauce, cheese, and tomatoes.
Turns out we underestimated how many of you love Mexican Pizza. 7x more than we expected, to be exact. We are working as fast as we can to restock Mexican Pizza ingredients. We’ll need some time to replenish our supplies, but when it comes back, we promise it’s here to stay.

While Taco Bell says they hope the Mexican Pizza will be a permanent menu item again by fall, they have also had to delay the release of the Mexican Pizza TikTok musical. Yes, you read that right: The restaurant partnered with musicians Doja Cat and Dolly Parton to create a musical highlighting this beloved food in celebration of its return. However, fans will have to wait just a little longer before they can experience the work of art, just as many will have to sit tight before they can taste their favorite fast food delicacy again.
