Taco Bell Has Run Out Of Ingredients For Mexican Pizza

It seems Taco Bell underestimated how much fans would love Mexican Pizza.

Taco Bell announced a return of the fan-favorite menu item earlier this year.

[{"selector":"#anim-dc8a26a6-efd3-4176-a932-933aeab09c2d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7da6c8ba-c339-4b5e-bae6-d0e88f36bd8c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8ccee234-4437-4c09-9ce3-0bbcfa6fdb3a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Unfortunately, it seems that they’ve run out of ingredients to make it.

On Tuesday, they tweeted that it’s off the menu for now.

“We are working as fast as we can to restock Mexican Pizza ingredients,” they wrote.

They said that the pizza will be back once they have time to “replenish our supplies.”

Their website provides a bit more information on the Mexican Pizza shortage.

They said that finding ingredients for their pizza is “taking longer than we’d like.”

As a result, Mexican Pizza won’t take up “permanent residency” on their menu until the fall.
