When you think about pizza chains, I'm sure Dominos and Pizza Hut spring immediately to mind, but there's another that you're probably not even thinking about. Apparently, Costco is one of America's largest pizza chains. I'm telling you—this is one all-powerful store.
Costco is pure magic. It sells literally everything, the food court is inappropriately delicious (here's looking at you pizza, soft pretzels, and sundaes), the prices are super cheap, and let's not forget the purpose of most trips to Costco to begin with—the free samples. Now it's got another accolade to add to it's resume. With around 400 locations in the U.S., Costco is the 15th largest pizza chain in America, even outnumbering places like California Pizza Kitchen. Mind=blown.
But don't worry, this ranking isn't going to do anything to inflate the prices. Part of the beauty of the Costco food court is that the prices almost never change. Pizza's $1.99 price tag is pretty darn secure.
Alas, there is always a downside, and insanely delicious pizza at cheap prices comes with a catch—a 700 calorie per slice catch. Apparently, Costco pizza is not necessarily the healthiest, with one slice of cheese coming in at 700 calories and 28 grams of fat. Just going to pretend I didn't see that last factoid. Ignorance is pizza bliss...
Next time you hit up the Costco food court, consider these things you must know before shopping at Costco.
