There are only 3 McDonald's locations in the US that serve pizza here's what it's like to visit
The McPizza holds a legendary place in McDonald's lore.
Though pizza was a national menu item at the fast food chain in the 1980s and '90s, most locations of the fast-food chain have stopped serving it since.
But at three fast-food locations in the US, the mythical McDonald's pizza is not just a memory. Instead, it's a real menu item that you can still order today.

And, one McDonald's in Florida actually added pizza to the menu in 2016.
If you don't feel up to a road trip to taste test modern takes on the fabled McPizza, here's what it's like to visit one of the few McDonald's locations that still has pizza on the menu.
The McDonald's in Pomeroy, Ohio has it all: burger and fries, 24-hour drive thru service, and, of course, pizza.
Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore.
I found Pizza at McDonalds. One of two locations in US that still serve it. #PizzaAtMcDonalds
The location serves both personal and family-sized pies.
Here's what a personal McPizza looks like:
And, here's a family-sized pizza:
People travel hundreds of miles in search of the McPizza, with customers recording how far they drove on a sign in the restaurant.
Drove 125 miles for a McPizza. With a waterfront view 😎🌞🌞 Worth it! #mcpizza #pomeroyohio #roadtrip
"What 781kms tastes like," one Instagram user who traveled almost 500 miles for the McPizza said. "And if you ask me how it taste I'm just going to let you come and try yourself."
The restaurant's franchisee also owns another McDonald's location a little over an hour drive away in Spenser, West Virginia.
I, too, have traveled to Spencer, WV, all to have McDonald's pizza. Stay tuned...
It also sells pizza — making the Ohio-West Virginia boarder the modern McPizza capital of the US.
WE FINALLY GOT MCDONALD'S PIZZA!!!!!
The Spenser location is also a popular road trip destination.
"We made it... the McHoly grail... the McPizza..." one Instagram user posted.
We made it... the McHoly grail... the McPizza...
According to customers, pizza pairs perfectly with McDonald's fries.
While the West Virginia and Ohio locations have served pizza since it was on McDonald's national menu in the '90s, one Mcdonald's in Florida began serving pizza in 2016.
When in 'Murica ... #epicmcdorl #mcdonaldspizza #pictureoritdidnthappen
To be fair, this is no ordinary McDonald's. The location reopened in March 2016, and, at more than 18,000 square feet, is one of the largest McDonald's in the world.
Customers can also order pasta — the only McDonald's in the US to offer the menu item.
Our food from Mickey D's...it was yummy!
Plus, the location has an impressive brunch menu.
In Orlando, pizzas are made to order.
Guys... McPizza. Mc. Pizza. McPizza! #EpicMcDOrl
All-in-all, it's a bit of a classier pizza experience than you would find at the Ohio or West Virginia McPizza-serving locations.
It's unlikely that other McDonald's locations will start serving pizza. It's time-intensive to make, which can slow down operations.

However, McPizza lovers have three McDonald's locations where they can find the menu item — as long as they're up for a road trip.
