Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza Is Just $1 Today — But Only Until Midnight

Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza Is Just $1 Today — But Only Until Midnight

Healthy Fact of the Day

The Mexican Pizza is one of Taco Bell’s more balanced menu items — the refried beans add fiber and plant-based protein, and the two crispy shells create a satisfying portion that doesn’t demand a side order to feel complete. At $1 today, it’s easy to be tempted to grab more than one, but a single Mexican Pizza alongside water is actually a reasonable fast food meal on its own. If you’re building a full order around it, skipping the nachos or loaded fries and adding a side of black beans instead keeps the overall meal more nutritionally balanced.

One of Taco Bell’s most iconic menu items is $1 today. That’s it. That’s the story.

From 8 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. PT today, July 28, Taco Bell is offering the Mexican Pizza for just $1 at participating locations nationwide. It normally runs $5.99. No app required, no loyalty membership, no promo code — order in person, at a kiosk, or online through the Taco Bell website or app. Limit one per order.

What’s in the Mexican Pizza

Two crispy-fried Mexican Pizza shells sandwich a layer of seasoned ground beef and refried beans, topped with Mexican Pizza sauce, a three-cheese blend of mozzarella, cheddar, and Monterey Jack, and diced tomatoes. It’s been on Taco Bell’s menu in various forms since 1985, disappeared in 2020, came back in 2022 after a massive fan campaign, and has been a permanent fixture ever since.

At $1, there’s no reasonable argument for not getting one today.

How to Get It

  • In person at the counter
  • At a kiosk inside the restaurant
  • Online at tacobell.com or through the Taco Bell app

Limit one discounted Mexican Pizza per order. The deal runs until 11:59 p.m. PT — that’s 2:59 a.m. ET — so East Coasters have plenty of time.

The Bottom Line

Mexican Pizza for $1 at Taco Bell, today only, July 28. Order in person, at a kiosk, or online. Limit one per order. Don’t overthink it.
