Costco’s latest food court offering
Costco has always been a go-to destination for bulk shopping and delicious food court treats. Recently, the wholesale giant announced the return of a fan-favorite in a new form: the Combo Calzone.
Priced at $6.99, this calzone is packed with a medley of toppings including pepperoni, sausage, cheese, onions, peppers, olives, and mushrooms. But how does it stack up against the beloved combo pizza that many customers have been craving?
Customer reactions: A mixed bag
As soon as the news broke, social media erupted with opinions. On Reddit, many Costco members expressed their disappointment, longing for the classic combo pizza instead. One user quipped, “Those toppings sound familiar… It’s the combo pizza!” highlighting the nostalgia associated with the original dish.
Others who have tried the calzone shared their experiences, with some describing it as “all right” while others felt it was overcooked. The general sentiment seems to lean towards a preference for the traditional pizza, with comments like, “Seems like Costco will do anything but bring back the combo pizza.” This raises the question: is the calzone a worthy substitute or just a poor imitation?
Visual appeal and taste test
Another point of contention among customers is the promotional imagery of the calzone. Many users criticized the photos, stating they looked unappetizing and even overcooked. One user remarked, “It even looks overcooked in the photo,” while another expressed skepticism about the cheese content, asking, “Does it even have cheese!?” Despite the negative feedback, there are those who have enjoyed the new offering.
One enthusiastic customer declared, “Had one today, it was delicious!” This divide in opinion showcases the subjective nature of food preferences and the challenges Costco faces in meeting the diverse tastes of its members.
The future of Costco’s food court
As Costco continues to innovate its food court menu, the introduction of the Combo Calzone raises important questions about customer loyalty and satisfaction. With the recent decision to replace Pepsi products with Coca-Cola and the discontinuation of popular items like churros, members are left wondering what other changes are in store. Will the calzone find its place among the cherished offerings, or will it fade into obscurity like other failed menu items? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure: Costco’s food court will always be a hot topic of discussion among its dedicated fans.
