CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- No jokes today... Taco John’s^® is uniting pizza and taco lovers with the ultimate culinary collab, the Taco Pizza. Crafted with seven layers of beefy, cheesy, Fiesta-saucy taco toppings atop a crispy, oven-baked crust, Taco Pizza is now available for a limited time at the company’s nearly 400 participating locations.

Sized right for sharing or solo, Taco Pizza starts with a hearty 10-inch* round corn and wheat flour crust topped with creamy refried beans, seasoned 100% North American beef and Taco John’s four cheese blend, savory Fiesta sauce and crunchy tortilla chips all baked to crispy, melty deliciousness. It’s finished with crisp shredded lettuce and diced tomatoes, for seven total layers of tasty taco toppings!

Bigger, bolder, better than other quick-service Mexican offerings, the new Taco Pizza delivers all the crave-worthy goodness fans expect from Taco John's. The new menu item comes in a signature pizza box with eight slices, and is available in-store or in the drive-thru for just $9.99.

“We’re always pushing to innovate, and Taco John's Taco Pizza brings together what people love about tacos and pizza, with our signature bold flavors and quality ingredients.
