Pizza / McPizza – McDonald's has also attempted pizza at various times, with an apple-pie–like McPizza and more conventional McDonald's Pizza. A line of personal-sized pizzas was first seen in the late 1970s in test-market stores near interstate highways around Milwaukee and Madison. In Canada (c. 1992–1999), the pizza originally began as a family-sized pizza that was brought out to the table by an employee and placed on a raised rack in the centre of the table. Later it was scaled down to a personal-sized pizza. However, variations have found their way into some international markets such as India (the pie-like "Pizza McPuff"). McDonald's also test marketed a 14-inch, round, traditional-style pizza in Evansville, Indiana, and nearby Owensboro, Kentucky, in 1989.[41] By 1991, the McDonald's test markets for pizza had grown to over 500 McDonald's locations before the pizza test was placed on hold.[36] Pizza was discontinued in most restaurants by 2000. The reason for eliminating the pizza from the menu was that the time to cook a pizza took 11 minutes, and McDonalds wanted to keep its reputation for fast service. Some, like the McDonald's located in Pomeroy, Ohio, still offer family size and personal size pizza as of February 26, 2013.


I missed this one.

Takes too long to make for them to profit as much as they'd like, I bet. If they made McDonald's versions of pizza hot pockets, I could see that selling and being cheap for them, but not a full pizza..

They still sell lobster sammiches (I'll give you 3 guesses at what they call it) in Maine.

McDonald's menus vary depending on the region. I ate a McMexico burger in Poland once. It was a beef patty with their version of salsa on it. It was disgusting.

I know they vary internationally.

Then again if it wasn't at the Opelousas McDonalds, I probably didn't see it

The mcds in Meraux used to sell pizza in 1995. Don't remember for how long but I thought it was pretty good.
