Taco Bell Mexican Pizza is making its grand comeback on the fast-food chain's menu after more than a year of hiatus.

According to Cnet, the return of the fan-favorite item in Taco Bell was made possible by a Change.org petition that has generated more than 170,000 signatures in a plea to return food items on the menu.

"Our menu is full of fan favorites, but the Mexican Pizza is at the top of that list... I'm glad we could give fans what they crave and bring our classic Mexican Pizza back home where it belongs," Taco Bell CEO Mark King said in a statement.

Taco Bell removed the Mexican Pizza from their menu in November of 2020 in the light of the COVID lockdowns as well as supply chain issues. The company announced the move in September of the same year, per Today.

Krish Jigirdar, the promoter of the petition to bring back Taco Bell Mexican Pizza, said that it was devastating that the company had to remove the said meal. However, he was delighted when the company reached out to him and broke the news that Taco Bell Mexican Pizza was coming back.

"Showing that listening to their fans is clearly embedded in their DNA. It's one of the many reasons Taco Bell is more than just another fast-food restaurant," Jigirdar noted.

The classic Taco Bell Mexican Pizza is composed of ground beef and refried beans between two crispy tortillas. Cheese and tomato are placed on top of the dish.

Taco Bell Mexican Pizza is customizable and can adhere to vegetarian and halal diets.
