Earlier this year, Taco Bell cut a bunch of items off their menu . . . and now they've announced even more cuts, including shredded chicken and pico de gallo salsa.  But one other cut is getting a ton of attention:  They're killing off the MEXICAN PIZZA.

One big reason:  They say the packaging has a huge environmental impact and Mexican Pizzas alone use more than seven million pounds of "paperboard" per year.  So as of November 5th, the Mexican Pizza is going away.

But fans ARE NOT happy.  The angry tweets were flying yesterday and as one person said, quote, "Just when you think 2020 couldn't get any worse."
