Dolly Parton loves Taco Bell's Mexican Pizza, but she thinks it should be bigger

Dolly Parton told Insider she wants a bigger Mexican Pizza. Now Taco Bell is releasing an extra-large version to select fans during the Super Bowl.

• Dolly Parton told Insider she wishes the Mexican Pizza was bigger so she "could have more of it."
• Taco Bell is now releasing the Big A** Mexican Pizza in honor of the Super Bowl this weekend. 
• The new Mexican Pizza is four times bigger than the original and will be available to select fans.

Just months after Dolly Parton told Insider that she missed the Mexican Pizza, Taco Bell brought back the discontinued menu item and cast Parton in a musical celebrating its return.

But the country-music icon has just one more request from the fast-food chain — she thinks the Mexican Pizza should be bigger.

Parton sat down with Insider on Zoom in January to discuss her new line of Southern treats with Duncan Hines. Naturally, we also had to ask how she felt about the return of the Mexican Pizza. 

"It was great, and I still order them now," she said. "They finally got them back, and now they can't keep them in stock because people were missing them. I was just one of many, many people that had missed them." 

While Taco Bell has been testing new Mexican Pizza flavors in select markets, Parton said there's only one change she would make to the iconic menu item. 

"I actually love 'em like they are," she told Insider. "I'd just make them bigger so I could have more of it!" 

It seems Taco Bell has heard Parton's pleas, though, because it's releasing the Big A** Mexican Pizza to select fans this weekend. 

A spokesperson told Insider that the fast-food chain will deliver the Big A** Mexican Pizza to Taco Bell superfans in Glendale, Arizona — where the Super Bowl is being held — to celebrate the big game against the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. The fans were pre-selected in a surprise offer from the Taco Bell app. 

The Big A** Mexican Pizza will be four times as big as the original and made with layers of beans, seasoned beef, tomato sauce, and a melted three-cheese blend between its three extra-large crispy tortilla shells. 

While the Big A** Mexican Pizza won't be available nationwide, Taco Bell is offering a free, regular-sized Mexican Pizza with any $20 minimum order made through Taco Bell's delivery app on February 11 and 12. 

But hopefully Taco Bell will send a Big A** Mexican Pizza to Parton as well. 

Parton previously told Insider that she loves going to fast-food restaurants with Carl Dean, her husband of 55 years. 

"Oh, I love to get a good burger out on the highway and french fries like everybody else," she said. "We love to just get out in that little camper of ours and drive through restaurants." 

When they go to Taco Bell, Parton said her usual order includes the Mexican Pizza, a Taco Supreme, and some rice and beans. 

"I like soft-shell tacos," Parton revealed. "I like the others, but they fall apart so bad, especially if you're riding around. So I always get a Taco Supreme, with the sour cream and all that, in the soft shell. I love that." 

"And I get mild sauce," she added. I don't like to get it too hot and ruin everything."
