Costco Love <3 (1 Viewer)

[psychobillies]

I can't believe all the freakin communists in here besmirching the good name of Costco pizza. There is only one thing better in this world that you can buy for less than that $10 pie from heaven, and that's a Culver's Butter Burger.

I mean the $1.50 hot dog is sitting RIGHT THERE for you too.

Ive never tried the pizza because of the hot dog option. $1.50 for a 1/4 lb hot dog (i think it's that big) that comes with a bucket of white onions? Someone would have to tell me that the pizza is amazing for me to pass up the hot dog. Costco is fairly new around here, so I've only been a dozen times or so, but I get excited about a $2 lunch.

I grew up 15 minutes from the pizza Mecca of New Haven. I’ve had pizza in Paris, Milan, NYC, Boston, Chicago, Detroit and all over the U.S. Costco pizza ain’t topping any of my lists but at the food court, it’s decent.

Look at this millionaire over here.

new haven pizza is the best pizza and thats just how it is take that to the bank brohans

I agree

New Haven
New York
Neapolitan
Detroit
Sicilian

dont sleep on milwaukee pub style pizza which is basically cracker thin crust and is really good i mean we do have the best cheeses here so when you get a local place with local cheese it can be ridiculous take that to the bank bromigos

 

[Payne]

After hearing about how great the pizza is- we had their pizza for the first time the other day. Inedible. Two bites and the whole thing went into the trash.

Are people really raving about their pizza? I thought everyone knew it was garbage, it's just really inexpensive and well, bread and sauce and cheese is always something you can muscle down

While not fantastic, it is far from garbage.

If I sampled 50 random pizza places it would rank in the bottom 10 for sure

Right there with Showtime Pizza at Chuck E. Cheese.

We might need a pizza draft.

Oh stop it! Costco way better than Chuck E Cheese

It's fine. Not a top 10 style though

Paris and Milan were work trips. Heck, I am pretty sure I had carry out Dominos when I spent a couple weeks in Johannesburg (also work). Actually, if IIRC, I got solicited by a hooker (really hot) to help me eat said pizza in my hotel room. I declined. Some of you young-ins aren’t aware of the early 90s version of HIV/AIDS, which was rampant in Africa.

Chicago is probably next on that list. Would have to think a bit more on it though, but it definitely wouldn't top any of those listed

It’s incredible although I only get slices fresh and they serve so many that it’s typically very fresh. $3 or $5 (if starving with 2 slices) is a cheap *** filling meal and while not amazing, it’s decent enough.

I’m just laughing at people in Oregon and Michigan tell me what good pizza is. I grew up 15 minutes from the pizza Mecca of New Haven. I’ve had pizza in Paris, Milan, NYC, Boston, Chicago, Detroit and all over the U.S. Costco pizza ain’t topping any of my lists but at the food court, it’s decent.

Okay Mister Pizza Expert, according to internet, the number one pizza city in the country is:

Portland, Oregon: called “best pizza” in the USA--so be wary

Portland has some excellent pizza--but you have to be careful when believing "best of" lists for pizza.

I read an article a few years ago that said hot dogs are the single worst food product you can digest and I haven't had one since. I liked the Costco Polish Dog but they took that off the menu 10 years ago.

Oddly enough, other articles talking about how bad beer is for me hasn't seemed to have the same impact as the hot dog piece.

Born and bred Californian. I don't care about the Chicago vs NY thing....
Chicago pizza is superior. When I moved back to Cali after living in the area, it was the only thing I craved. Never once have I thought, 'gosh, I really need a NY slice of pizza'

All other opinions are wrong and disgusting and you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Shut your dirty mouth

Our first stop for food in Chicago was for pizza. My son and I both got the deep dish and I enjoyed it but it's TOO heavy for me. My son called it a pizza lasagna. I can't remember where we ate but when we were done I demanded that we WALK to the Chicago Art Museum, which was at least 2 miles away. My body needed movement immediately.

I got pizza the next night at another spot - a fancy Italian joint not far from Wrigley. I had to use a scissors to cut the pie, which was not something this unsophisticated hillbilly was expecting. It was damn good, though. Glad I got both experiences while there. Great city, Chicago. Top 5 for me in the US.

Oh yea, you can't eat Chicago style all the time. It is an occasional thing. Kind of like that special dish your family member makes once a year for a particular holiday that you can not wait to eat because you love it so much but no matter how much everyone loves it, it is only made on that special day.

What I remember from living there is how strong feelings people have for stuff like either Lou Malnati's or Giordano's, and the willingness to go to war over it.

Let's not even mention that super gross liquer the locals always had us do shots of at parties.

My favorite is Gino's East and I don't think it is close.

I dont get the Malort thing but again, I am a transplant (though I have lived in the Chicago area for almost as long as I lived in So Cal now)

When my daughter was a young teen she called them leukemia sticks. That'll make you crave a hot dog.

Hot dogs are foul.
Now, I don't eat meat so there is that. But if I was to start eating meat again I think hot dog would be pretty far down the list. I would choose Spam over that, as an example.

No surprise someone that doesn't eat meat is disgusted by hot dogs. I love meat and also think hot dogs are quite disgusting when you think about it. Although, when you don't think about it and cover one with chili and onions on a good bun. Ha ha. Hot dogs aren't in my staple diet, but having a couple every couple a months is nice. Imo

It actually hurt me to read your love for the equivalent of a pizza trough. Might be our first disagreement.

I know I’m on an island with hamburgers/cheeseburgers. They actually make me nauseous. Steak burger > inferior meat.

 

[NutterButter]

That's a tough call. Never been a huge hamburger guy, but a nice meat blend with some fried onions and aged cheddar is nice. On the other hand, a beef dog that's juicy on the inside with a nice crisp on the outside dressed with some kraut and spicy brown sure does appeal to me. While not at that level, that costco dog is quite tasty and a hard value to beat.

I can understand the pizza debate. I enjoy both.

However, there is no way the best hot dog beats even a good hamburger, much less a great one.

If you like dogs juicy and crispy, I would suggest Zweigle red hots. They are from Rochester, NY so not available everywhere. I think Wegman’s still carries them outside of NY. They are the pop open type on the grill (have to grill them) so they have that nice crisp and a nice taste. I do like the Costco hot dog as well, but still a good cheeseburger beats both.

Yeah, I have dabbled with a plant based diet, but I just haven't found it to be very satisfying, personally. I could maybe go for a pescatarian lifestyle as I really like fish but 100% plant based with no cheese? I think I'd rather move on to the afterlife.

My dad boils his hot dogs and I just find that to be really off-putting. Dude never eats fruits or veggies, eats like a toddler and is nearing 81 and living on his own. Good genetics? No. Just a happy man in general? Also no. I don't know how he's doing this TBH. Drinks his Bud heavy and dines on hot dogs and eggs.
