Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza made its triumphant return to the menu last week after a two-year hiatus — and of course, Dolly Parton had to go out and grab one.

“I have been longing for this moment for so long!” the country legend said on social media, before unboxing her first Mexican Pizza since the menu item was discontinued in 2020. “Oh, look at that. Is that not beautiful?! It looks almost too good to eat … but I’m gonna.”

Dolly then dug in, assuring fans that it was every bit as tasty as she’d thought it would be. “You gotta get you one of these. Oh, mercy,” she said in between bites. “It was worth the wait.”

But Dolly did more than just wait for the return of the Mexican Pizza. She also signed on to participate in the Taco Bell TikTok musical Mexican Pizza, which was propelled by the discontinued menu item’s fervent cult following.

One Mexican Pizza fanatic is rapper Doja Cat, who wrote a rap asking Taco Bell to bring the pizza back and will also participate in the Mexican Pizza musical alongside Dolly.

The musical will air on Taco Bell’s TikTok channel on May 26 at 8 p.m. ET.
