Who invented taco pizza?
According to a local Iowa Pizza Chain they invented, the Taco
Pizza, after a franchisee suggested adding tacos to the menu.
According to a Wikipedia source which is a paid advertisement.
However, the Taco Pizza was in fact invented by Food Consultant
Wayne Lynn, who was responsible for several original pizza recipes,
and innovations. The Taco Pizza was originally called the Burrito
Pizza, until Mr. Lynn renamed the recipe the Taco Pizza after
market research showed that the new title appealed to more people.
Because Mr. Lynn dealt primarily with grocery and convenience
stores offering deli, or "take and bake" pizza, it is possible that
Happy Joe's may have been the first restaurant to offer the Taco
Pizza, but it would have been a copy of Mr. Lynn's recipe found in
stores. The Taco Pizza was easily Mr. Lynn's most successful
original pizza recipe.
