Co Bell Brings Back Mexican Pizza After 17-Month Hiatus
After a 17-month hiatus, Co Bell has brought back its beloved Mexican pizza to the menu. The fast-food chain had removed the item from its menu in November 2020, but due to popular demand, it has made a comeback.
The Mexican Pizza Controversy
The Mexican pizza was a fan favorite for many years before its removal, and its absence was met with disappointment and frustration from customers. Many took to social media to express their disappointment and even started a petition to bring back the item.
The controversy surrounding the Mexican pizza's removal was due to Co Bell's commitment to sustainability. The Mexican pizza's packaging included a non-recyclable black plastic tray, which was the reason for its removal. Co Bell had promised to make all of its packaging recyclable, compostable, or reusable by 2025.
Co Bell's Solution
Co Bell listened to its customers and found a solution to bring back the Mexican pizza while staying true to its sustainability commitment. The new packaging for the Mexican pizza is now made from 100% recycled fiber and is fully recyclable.
The Mexican pizza consists of a crispy tortilla topped with seasoned beef, refried beans, Mexican pizza sauce, three-cheese blend, and diced tomatoes. It is then finished with a dollop of reduced-fat sour cream.
Customer Reactions
Customers are thrilled to have the Mexican pizza back on the menu. Many took to social media to express their excitement and gratitude to Co Bell for bringing back the fan-favorite item.
"I literally cried when I heard the Mexican pizza was coming back," said one customer on Twitter. "I can't wait to taste it again."
The Future of Co Bell's Menu
Co Bell's commitment to sustainability and its customers' desires are at the forefront of its menu decisions. The fast-food chain has promised to continue to make changes to its packaging and menu items to reduce its environmental impact while still satisfying its customers' cravings.
The return of the Mexican pizza is just the beginning of Co Bell's commitment to providing sustainable and delicious menu options.
