Mexican cafeteria-style pizza was a favorite school lunch for many of us, and now you can recreate this tasty dish for your own family. So, let’s dive in and learn how to make this delicious, nostalgic meal.
For many of us, pizza day was the highlight of our school week. The smell of that tomato sauce and melted cheese wafting through the air, the excitement as we stood in line waiting for our slice… it’s a memory that’s hard to forget. This school lunch fiestada pizza recipe is a way to bring back those memories and share them with our own families. Plus, it’s an easy recipe to make, with simple ingredients that you likely already have in your pantry.
Start by browning some ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You can also use ground turkey, chicken, or even Italian sausage if you prefer. Cook the meat until it’s no longer pink, then drain off any excess grease.

Next, it’s time to add some flavor to the meat. Stir in some taco seasoning and cook according to the package directions. This will give the beef that delicious, Mexican-inspired taste that makes this pizza so special.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic powder, and a little bit of hot sauce (if you like some heat). Mix it all together until smooth and well combined.
Now comes the fun part – assembling the pizza! Start by spreading a thin layer of the pizza sauce onto a prepared pizza crust (you can use store-bought or make your own). Next, sprinkle the seasoned ground beef evenly over the sauce. Finally, top it all off with a generous layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
Square Pizza Slices? Nah. Hexagonal Pizza Slices. Fiestada!
Pop the pizza into a preheated oven and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown. Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of your crust and your oven, so be sure to keep an eye on it! Once it’s done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Once your pizza has cooled a bit, it’s time to dig in and enjoy! This recipe is perfect for a fun family dinner, a nostalgic lunch, or even a tasty snack during the big game. And the next time you’re craving that old-school pizza from your school days, you’ll know exactly how to make it.

I had the big hair, the jelly bands, the jelly shoes, Hammer pants, black patent leather shoes, Michael Jackson gear, Madonna gloves, sunglasses that look like mini blinds, and more.
But nothing — and I mean NOTHING compares with that delicious Fiestada pizza that they used to serve at lunch –only on Wednesdays after working so hard on my multiplication worksheets. Can I get an amen there?
Taco Pizza Recipe By Ann Roberson
Yesterday on the news, the reporters were talking about school lunches changing yet again, and I cannot help but think they are ALL wrong.
I mean, I like to eat healthy too, but taking away all the delicious foods that your kids enjoy because they are getting fat? Yeah — that is SO not the answer.
To me, I look at it this way — is it better for your child to get a school lunch and then not eat hardly any of it because they don't like it, therefore not getting the nutrients they need, and not being able to focus in the afternoon classes because of lack of nutrition?

Feed them food that is regular food that they like — that they will actually eat? I would rather my kid eat a cheeseburger and tots instead of NOT eating at all.
Now, my daughter, she would have loved the above lunch, but my son — had he been served that when he was in school — he would have starved.
I am seriously glad that I grew up in the '80s. I got to enjoy hamburgers, pizza day, spaghetti day (real spaghetti not the fake kind), and pudding — and my favorite of all — Fiestada day.
Mexican Chicken Pizzas Recipe
Our kids are not getting fat because of what they are eating at school. I ate like a horse when I was in high school and I weighed 115 pounds. BUT I was active — and all I had was an Atari.
My momma made me go play. I spent hours riding bikes with a friend. I wasn't allowed to just sit for hours watching television. That was a luxury in the evenings after it got dark.
I think that schools and parents need to rethink this whole gaining weight/losing weight thing. Get your kids active and then you will see a difference.

Had just run across a food listing at GFC and then needed to explain to my husband the glory of fiestadas, since his school never served them. Thanks for sharing your memories.
I’m a little late to this party! We still serve fiestada pizza which looks exactly the same as the picture that you posted above. Still popular too!
@Lauren, I used to buy these from Schwann's before 2010. Now they look to be discontinued I miss them so much! We definitely need a good recipe or a connection to whoever is selling them to Andi's school.

Do you know where your school purchases the pizza? Or could you find out? I have been searching for this recipe since literally b4 the internet and I am DESPERATE and sick of copycat recipes that don't measure up!
