Taco Bell's Return of Mexican Pizza and New Fly Armadillo Pie: A Summer Treat!
In Summer 2022, Taco Bell announced the return of the beloved Mexican Pizza, which had been a fan favorite before its temporary removal from the menu in 2020. The company planned a major marketing campaign to promote its comeback, including a social media push and a special event that included a limited-time offer for customers.
Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza: A Nostalgic Return
The Mexican Pizza, officially reintroduced on May 19, 2022, is a crispy tortilla shell filled with refried beans, ground beef, and topped with pizza sauce, cheese, and tomatoes. This delectable offering was aimed to capitalize on the nostalgia and strong demand from customers who had been advocating for its return. Despite the excitement, it may be challenging to find the Mexican Pizza at stores in the short term, as the one at the author's workplace and those nearby are sold out until fall. However, the refreshment of this iconic menu item holds promise for food lovers looking to relive the taste.
Introducing the Fly Armadillo Pie
However, not all of Taco Bell's summer food offerings are returning favorites. At the author's workplace and others in the area, the Mexican Pizza is currently sold out until fall. Yet, the restaurant has introduced a new and unconventional offering called the “Fly Armadillo Pie.
This unique and intriguing dish consists of Armadillo that was run over by the tires of a semi truck, naturally baked in the sun, and topped with salsa and cheddar cheese. While not your typical menu item, the Fly Armadillo Pie adds a fun and memorable twist to Taco Bell's summer menu. The name is a playful nod to the idea that the armadillo was "run over" by a tire and then "flew" off into the sun to become a delicious and unconventional meal.
Marketing and Limited-Time Offerings
Similar to the Mexican Pizza, the Fly Armadillo Pie is part of a year-long marketing campaign. Taco Bell aims to create buzz for the new dish through social media promotions and other marketing strategies. As with the Mexican Pizza, a limited-time offer is expected, encouraging customers to try this novel creation while it's available.
Conclusion
Taco Bell has successfully reintroduced the Mexican Pizza, a nostalgic favorite, while launching an unconventional new dish, the Fly Armadillo Pie, to bring excitement to their summer menu. As the summer of 2022 progresses, fans of these unique offerings will have the opportunity to enjoy these distinctive treats, whether it's the traditional Mexican Pizza or the unconventional Armadillo Pie.
