This Is Why Costco's Pizza Is So Delicious (video)

All this talk about "pie" when referring to a pizza just sounds wrong. Like nails on a chalkboard wrong. Pies are sweet and/or fruity, people!

I mean it's pizza lol.
Not exactly a health food. Refined white flour, some tomato sauce (only saving grace really lol) and tons of cheese and fatty meats if you go with the toppings.
The food court is a great place for cheap calories.
I like the Sausage dogs and the turkey provolone.
Been awhile since I got the pizza.

I use to take my kids there to grab a cheap meal. We would eat like kings for 10$. Chicken bake is where it's at though.
Jersey Costco has the huge Italian sausage with peppers and onions sandwich for like $3.
Ridiculous deal.

I was like a robot after making so many pizzas as a teen. One and a half scoop of sauce, spread evenly. Dough spun to be even. Etc. Though it would have cool as hell to have some machines to do some of the work.
Stop it! If it were up to me you'd be in a conversion camp right about now! It's that bad!
True but in reality a slice is really like 2-2.5 slices of your average pizza so the calories make sense.
Also, I always get the Costco chili
In the back, near the rotisserie chicken and prepared foods.
It's really good
thx
Mississippi should have a Costco by the time I'm 40 (not kidding).
Granted I'm pretty peticular about my pizza -I only really enjoy a handful of joints- but I don't find it very good. It's IMO about on the same level as all those trash chain places like Pizza 73, Pizza Hut, Dominoes, Little Ceases, etc...
I looked away and when I looked back, for a second, I thought all that costco pizza was going right to her hips.
I don't know. Maybe it's a location thing. The Costco near me has pizza that I would classify as "basic and acceptable," but it's nothing revelatory. I can't fathom ever choosing their pizza over the hot dog combo, and I'm generally in favor of choosing pizza over basically anything. There's just so many better places to get pizza around me for basically the same price.
Costco might not be so bad because of the relatively low demand but I can guarantee you a TON of food gets thrown away at the end of most restaurant closes.

Oh I used to work in fine dining restaurant. I saw thousands of dollars of food get thrown out.
The issue is that most food health codes disqualify a lot of the food from food charities.
Never understood the love for Costco's pizzas, and I'm far from being a pizza elitist. Dennis8K is right. It's greasy, soggy, overloaded, with pretty low quality ingredients. It's edible but I would never call it delicious.
Funny enough, I'm currently at Costco to have my tires looked at. Just ordered a slice of pizza and a hot dog combo to eat. 🤣
My favorite new addition though is the acaĂ bowls, insane that it's $5 versus the $12+ you find at like Vitality Bowls or other places that sell them.

It's super good. Something about the cheese always makes me crave more. Unfortunately the high sodium has given me nosebleeds a few times. Worth the risk.
I was sad when they went away from Hebrew National to Kirkland. Though I got used to it, which I'm sure was their plan all along.
I see they have Kirkland Ice Cream Bars too, RIP Haagen Daaz bars.
Never had their pizza but just based on looks alone it doesn't appear to be anything special. Looks exactly like something you'd get from Pizza Hunt or one of the many fast food pizza joints.
Hot dog is fine, but I prefer (and miss) the superior Polish Dog. Deli mustard & relish are my go-to toppings. Cheese pizza slice was warm, saucy & cheesy as usual.
Great value for $3.80 tbh.
It's cheap and taste about the same/better. So a win if you are into that.
