Combo pizza to return to Costco as a take and bake option
Costco’s combo pizza, which features a mix of veggies, pepperoni, and sausage, was once a fan favorite among Costco’s food court offerings. Its abrupt departure from the menu in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic left a wave of disappointment among patrons. Ever since, people have been begging for its return. In fact, one online petition that asserts “the termination of combo pizza from Costco food courts nationwide is not only saddening, but total madness and just straight up WRONG,” has garnered a staggering 18,000 signatures.
Now it seems the prayers of many may be answered—but not exactly in the way you’d expert. According to a recent Reddit post, the Combo Pizza is indeed making a comeback with a slight twist. Rather than gracing the hallowed halls of the food court along with the new turkey sandwich, it will be reborn in the deli section as a take-and-bake pizza.
It’s also important to approach this news with cautious optimism. There’s been no official announcement from Costco, and there’s no confirmed rollout date yet.
Unsurprisingly, reactions to the potential return of the Combo Pizza have been varied. While some are excited at the prospect of once again sinking their teeth into their favorite pizza, others remain skeptical, expressing reservations about the take-and-bake format.
"My Costco prayers have come true," rejoiced one person.
"We need this at the food court," another wrote.
"Can I buy it, ask the food court to run it through the oven, and then pick it up on the way out?" someone else joked.
"I really hope it's better than the old take and bakes. I was told they were defrosted frozen with added toppings, and they tasted like it. Yuck," one comment says.
While no concrete date has been set, the Reddit post hints at a potential timeframe of within the next four weeks. We'll certainly keep our eyes peeled!
Beyond the return of the Combo Pizza, Costco loyalists have many changes to look forward to this year.
And in the meantime, you can stock up on all of these great items on your next trip. Happy shopping!
