Cheetos brings back fan-fave flavor they stopped making 20 years ago

Cheetos announced the comeback of a fan-fave flavor just in time for you to make your Super Bowl celebrations “dangerously cheesy.”

After being out of the lineup for 20 years, the snack brand is releasing Cheetos Puffs Cheese Pizza flavor — which they claim tastes just like a slice from your favorite pizza joint.

“From mac ‘n’ cheese to Buffalo wings, Cheetos is known for leaving its orange-dusted mark on game day favorite meals. And now, the brand has mischievously set its sights on pizza,” parent company Frito-Lay said in a statement provided to Food & Wine.

“Combining elements of a classic cheese pizza — cheese, tomato flavor, and herbaceous notes of oregano and Italian seasoning — Cheetos Puffs Cheese Pizza Flavor gives fans a new way to enjoy this iconic dish.”

The brand claims it tastes like a slice of a classic Italian pie.

The new product was set to launch on Monday, Jan. 13, both in stores nationwide and on Snacks.com.

The tasty treat was once part of the Cheetos Puffs family but was pulled from shelves in 2005.

The brand added that the new flavor is the first addition to the Cheetos Puffs lineup in more than a decade.

“While we know nothing can compare to a fresh, hot pie, Cheetos is proud to bring fans the second-best pizza thing,” Cheetos said.
