Taco Bell is making the Mexican Pizza $1 for a day. I tried the fan-favorite item, and it's worth the hype.

When the news broke that lettuce sold at multiple Taco Bell restaurants had been linked to the cyclosporiasis outbreak, I was suddenly flooded with texts. “Have you heard!?” “Are you in the clear?” “This must be devastating.” People hadn’t been this concerned about me since I was trapped at Burning Man in 2023!

The truth is, though, I wasn’t too stressed about my Taco Bell habit.

I’ve been reporting on the chain for six years and knew that there were plenty of lettuce-free options I could still enjoy.

Taco Bell knows this, too, and has been offering $1 deals on certain menu items — all lettuce-free — to thank its loyal fans and entice customers who might still be hesitant.

Last Wednesday, it was the Enchirito that got the $1 special.

On Tuesday, July 28, it will be the Mexican Pizza — one of the chain’s most beloved menu items.
