You mean from their food court, or their Kirkland brand freezer ones? I have wanted to try the food court ones, but if I get it home and it’s not good then I’m both frustrated and need to find something else to eat, so I always pass it up since I don’t know if it’s good or not…
For me, time, effort, and of course the $10. I’m disabled so take a standard costco run, make it take 4x as long and physically difficult. Add taking a gamble on dinner as I leave and it’s a make-or-break decision.
I’ll have to give it a go the next time I’m there. I’ve had their ice cream and it’s very good, but that’s not a meal :p
they’re weird so they slice it into 6 but that makes it a huuuge slice. well well well worth the $2 imo, it’s certainly a loss leader for them (meaning the cost for them to make it is more than they charge you for it)
legitimately the best pizza I had in the years I spent living in Georgia.
yes this is true. I think the soda is probably a profit but less than standard restaurant markups and nowhere near enough to cover the cost of running the food court (making it functionally also a loss)
also I’d imagine the chicken bake is upcycling the rotisserie chickens into less loss than if they were sold as rotisserie (and certainly more than if they threw them out)
also I’ve said loss too many times to not also say :.|:;
The Motor City Pizza (if they sell at your Costco) in the frozen aisle is good too if you like deep dish. It’s too meaty for my taste, but will do the trick in a pinch.
Costco pizza is legit too

The food court one. It’s $10. What have you got to lose other than $10?

if you’re worried about it, just buy a slice.

the food court is a loss leader to get people to shop in the store, it works.

:.|:;Ooh, I didn’t know you could get it by the slice. Nice!
remember the combo supreme.
Just get a slice next time you go through. Its $2, and you get a snack + qa. Imo, better than a lot of dedicated pizza shops, and cheaper
I didn’t know they sold individual slices, I only saw people with full pies or hot dogs. I’ll definitely grab one next time :D
Try the pizza while you’re in the store? It’s not amazing pizza, but it’s better than it should be.
the freshly made one is so-so, not great but for its prices its pretty good.

Yeah, that’s the only frozen pizza that I like. It takes up a good chunk of the freezer for me though.
