There are times when I wish fast food industries have learned their lessons from their menu disasters, and never plan to bring them back. But it looks like some industries aren't listening to us and are deciding to take another crazy risk. This restaurant is bringing back one past menu item to modern day that back in the past caused a major problem.
It's the McDonald's McPizza. You're free to watch the entire video below, but to spare you the time, you can already go up to #1.
Here is the main reason why the McPizza was a financial disaster and the ranked #1 for one of the worst mistakes that the fast food restaurant. A line of personal-sized pizzas was first seen in the late 1970s in test-market stores near interstate highways around Milwaukee and Madison. The pizzas weren't introduced to North America until 1991. At that time, the McDonald's test markets for pizza had grown to over 500 McDonald's locations before the pizza test was placed on hold.
Unfortunately, the McPizza was discontinued in most restaurants by 1999. The main reason for eliminating pizza from the menu was that it took 15 minutes to cook a pizza, and McDonald's wanted to keep its reputation for fast service. In many cases, it makes sense. When people go to fast food restaurants they want it fast and they want to dine or go. Waiting is no longer in most human's mental state.
In November 2020, only the largest U.S. McDonald's, in Orlando, Florida, features pizza, pasta, and Belgian waffles.
In my personal opinion, there is no way this is going to sell well in NYC. In the Big Apple, we're linked to various pizza joints. When it comes to pizza McDonald's isn't the first place we think about to get pizza. Shut down this idea.
