Popular food blogger Markie Devo ignited the internet when he posted that Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza would make its triumphant return in “April or May 2022.”
The iconic item was removed from the menu in November 2020, along with a dozen other items, including Shredded Chicken Soft Tacos, Shredded Chicken Quesadilla Melts, and pico de gallo.
But nothing hit harder than the loss of the Mexican Pizza. A petition was quickly launched, and more than 170,000 people hoped that adding their signatures might be enough to change The Bell’s mind.
Devo did not share any additional details about the re-launch of the Mexican Pizza — and he didn’t say where he got his inside info.
However, starting on Thursday, January 6, Taco Bell will be serving up orders of Crispy Chicken Wings.
“This special offer features five, bone-in Crispy Chicken Wings, coated in flavorful Mexican Queso seasoning, crisped to perfection and served along with our signature spicy ranch dipping sauce,” a Taco Bell representative said in a statement. “Wings are the latest creation from the test kitchen masterminds.” A box of five Crispy Chicken Wings will retail for $5.99, and will be available every day after 2 p.m. as a limited-time menu offering.
