After nearly 20 years off the menu, fast food giant McDonald’s has begun serving pizza again.

But the ‘McPizza’ is only available in two places, both in the US.

Outlets in Pomerory, Ohio and Spencer, West Virginia are the only places to sell the traditional Italian dish.

There are no further plans to expand to other outlets.

Fast food lovers reacted with glee to the discovery on social media, with some apparently travelling long distances to sample the McPizza.

One fan posted a picture of the pizza, along with McDonald’s fries on Instagram, along with the caption “it was worth the nine-hour drive let me tell you”.

Another added: “Today was a good day had McDonald pizza for the first time in almost 20 years.”

Individual pizzas cost three dollars and a larger, family-size pizza is six dollars.

Pizza was introduced in McDonald’s in the 1980s as an eat-in product served to customers at tables.

Around 500 outlets served it by 1991 but the trend had died out by 2000.
