Customers have taken to Twitter to share their disappointment as pizza fans have come together to hunt down the product.

A Twitter user (@MadScientistFF) wrote a post asking their 40.2k followers: "What has been discontinued, but you miss and wish it would make a comeback?"

One person attached a photo of a Mama Rosa's pepperoni pizza with the caption: "These came in the 5 for $19.99 deal at Save A Lot back in the day. My favorite pizza through my childhood".

This led other users and Mama Rosa's fans to join in the conversation and some even scoured the internet looking for where they could buy the long-lost item.

A fan wrote: "Doing some quick digging, looks like they have been discontinued within the last year".

But after a wild online hunt for the pizza, one viewer started a petition on Change.org called: "Bring back MaMa Rosa's Pizza".

The petition has racked up a mega 10,050 signatures as the creator stated: "MaMa Rosa’s Pizza has been a member of thousands of peoples family for years. 

"Recently I learned that Schwan’s Company had bought them out, and discontinued the product.

"My family had bought this amazing pizza since before I was born.

"MaMa Rosa’s pizza was the very first solid food fed to me as a child, and since then it’s been my #1 go to my whole life. I, along with countless others are extremely upset over this decision. 

He then says that he, and countless others, have tried finding good replacements but none come close to the quality of Mama Rosa's.

The petition creator ends the comment with: "Please help me, and plenty others out by bringing back a staple in thousands of peoples homes and hearts."

This comes after Kroger confirmed it had discontinued a popular breakfast treat and fans have been left begging for the "traditional" item to return to shelves.

The Ooey Gooey Jumbo Cinnamon Rolls from Kroger was a hit until the large grocery store decided to ax the beloved treat.

And the store also disappointed shoppers with news that a customer-favorite dessert mix was being permanently removed from their product line.

The retailer apologized after one disgruntled customer asked the Kroger Twitter account for an explanation when they couldn't find their beloved brownie mix.
