Craving Costco's Gigantic Slice of Heaven? You Can't ACTUALLY Order Online (But Here's the Workaround!)
Let's face it, sometimes the siren song of Costco's legendary $9.95 pizza is simply irresistible. A behemoth of cheesy goodness that could feed a small army (or satisfy your Netflix binge cravings for a week), it's no wonder these pizzas have achieved mythical status. But here's the thing: while Costco's website is a treasure trove of bulk buys and deals, there's one glaring omission – you can't order those pizzas online!
Hold on, hold on, before you resign yourself to a sad desk lunch, there is hope! Here's the hilarious truth (and the not-so-hilarious workaround) for getting your hands (and stomach) on a Costco pizza feast.
The Reality Check: Buckle Up, It's Not DoorDash
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
Costco, bless their giant-warehouse hearts, operates a little differently than your usual pizza joint. Their food court is a haven for post-shopping refuelling, and that means getting your pizza involves, well, getting yourself to Costco. I know, I know, not exactly the instant gratification we live for in the 21st century. But hey, think of it as an adventure – a delicious, cheesy, adventure.
Workaround Wednesday: Embrace the Phone Call (or In-Person Hustle)
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
Here's the good news: you can still snag your pizza without waiting in line. Here's your two-pronged attack:
-
Phone It In: Most Costco warehouses have a dedicated phone number for the food court. Find your local store's number using the store locator tool and give them a ring. Pro Tip: Do this before you head to Costco, so your pizza is practically waiting for you by the time you arrive.
-
Channel Your Inner Ninja: If you're already at Costco and feeling peckish, head straight to the food court. There's usually a designated area to order pizzas, and while you might have to wait a bit, the payoff is worth it.
Remember: You gotta have a Costco membership to score this cheesy goodness. But hey, memberships pay for themselves in delicious pizza savings, right?
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
