Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza to return as permanent menu item in September
Demand for Mexican pizzas was seven times higher than supply
Taco Bell's Mexican pizza will return as a permanent menu item in September after the food chain severely underestimated demand in a temporary release earlier this year, the chain announced Tuesday.
The fast food chain brought back the Mexican pizza as a limited time menu item in May, but did not purchase nearly enough supply to meet demand. Taco Bell stated on Twitter that it would have had to purchase seven times more ingredients to meet American's orders.
The item has been off the menu for months but will return as a permanent item on September 15.
