Their Mexican Pizza was my go-to meal at Taco Bell.  No reason to go there now.  Sooooo long, Taco Bell........

Quoted:
Taco Bell has announced that, starting November 5, it will phase out a handful of menu items as part of what it calls a "streamlining" process in order to make way for some new items. So while diners can look forward to trying the Chicken Chipotle Melt ("featuring marinated all-white meat grilled chicken, creamy chipotle sauce, and cheddar cheese rolled and melted together"), Dragonfruit Freeze ("a tropical frozen beverage swirled with a burst of dragonfruit flavor") and, in certain areas of the country, a new, spicier Green Sauce featuring "flavors of fire roasted green chilies, pureed jalapeno and hatch green chiles" and a test-run of the returning Quesalupa, they can say adios to Shredded Chicken, Pico de Gallo and  dare we say it?  Mexican Pizza.

The Pico de Gallo will be replaced by fresh diced tomatoes, but it is probably safe to say nothing will replace Mexican Pizza in its fans' hearts. They've taken to social media to express their grief.


"You have broken my heart," one Twitter account sadly declared.


"Removing the #MexicanPizza is not cool," wrote another.


"Why would you do this to us???" yet another howled.


Amidst the many memes, threats never to eat at Taco Bell again and calls for a boycott, someone has taken action, starting an online petition to Save the Mexican Pizza. In just a few days, it has been signed by more than 44,500 people  and is rapidly gathering more.


I mean, yeah, a lot of people are upset, angry and in denial.


Taco Bell seems to have anticipated the outcry, at least to some degree, but says it's making the move for the good of the planet.


"We know some fans may be sad to see this one go, we are too," the chain wrote in a press release explaining the menu changes. "One silver lining of saying goodbye to the Mexican Pizza that might help you rest easy is that removing it from our menus helps us work towards our commitment to leave a lighter footprint on our planet. Currently, Mexican Pizza packaging accounts for over 7 million pounds of paperboard material per year in the U.S."


Another silver lining is that you can always DIY a pizza like Taco Bell's at home. Here's a recipe. You're welcome.

That was my favorite item on their menu, I hope Taco Cabana opens up here.

You can probably still get one if it was only dropped once and nobody else saw it happen.

I dropped Taco Bell a long tine ago. About everything they sell gives me the Hershey Squirts.  Plus TB always seem to be manned by the rejects from other fast food joints.

Quoted:
The Mexican Pizza is about the only reason I still ate there.

But I haven't eaten TB since I chomped down on what tasted like a wad of paper in my taco meat

Quoted:
Bring back the chili cheese burrito everywhere!!!  There is no location near me that serves it.

Quoted:
First they renamed it from Chilito (Little Dick) to Chili Cheese Burrito, now they just did away with it?

Those and Grilled Stuffed Steak Burritos were all I ate from there.

The new beef burrito on the dollar menu sucks. It's all rice, hardly any beef.

FTB.  They recently ditched their green sauce.  I have been getting bean burritos with green sauce and extra cheese and onions for almost 50 friggin years.  They offered two kinds of sauce you could get on burritos and such - red or green.  Now, TB is like Henry Ford: "They can get any sauce they want as long as it's red."

Quoted:
First Taco Bell got rid of the loaded potato griller. Then the beef frito burrito. The only thing left is chicken quesarito and I bet that will be gone soon at this pace. When i get a fast food craving I’ve been going to Arby’s lately. Sorry TB.
