Costco's New Food Court Item Has Customers Divided: 'It's Offensive'
The Costco food court is the stuff of dreams. A hot dog for $1.50? An entire pizza for under $10? These steals are worth a membership alone. And now, a brand new menu item gracing the Costco food court has people in a tizzy: The Combo Calzone.
The new Combo Calzone, a baked turnover or folded pizza, is filled with all the fixings, including cheese, tomato sauce, pepperoni, sausage, onions, peppers, olives, and mushrooms. Quite a mouthful! As the Instagram account @mnmtwinz reports, it features the same exact ingredients as the discontinued Combo Pizza that customers have been begging for a comeback. But, judging by the comments, for some, this news doesn't quite fill the void that the beloved pizza left.
"They do combo calzone but not combo pizza ok," wrote one disappointed customer.
"Looks like a messy diaper," commented another.
While the Combo Calzone has so far only been spotted in Michigan-area Costcos, the new menu item will be rolling out to locations across the country throughout the summer. Although some customers seem underwhelmed with the announcement, others who've gotten their hands on it are already singing its praises.
"It was perfection and a steal for $6.99," one customer noted in a Reddit thread. "Had one today, it was delicious!" exclaimed another.
"Can't wait for it to get to Ohio!" commented one person. "I liked it, big enough for my spouse and I to share, and a nice spice level on the sausage. Quality ingredients, cheese and sauce wrapped in a beautiful golden dough! What could be better! Reasonably priced as well, will buy again," reviewed one happy customer.
Since the rollout, customers have been wondering why Costco turned the beloved Combo Pizza into a Combo Calzone. As it turns out, a food court employee explained in the Reddit thread that the pizzas were assembled on-site, which reportedly introduced contamination risks and wastage issues. The calzones, on the other hand, are shipped frozen from a manufacturing site, circumventing those problems altogether, they claim. So for now, you'll have to enjoy your Combo in calzone form!

Rodeo Star Spencer Wright's Wife Kallie Honors 3-Year-Old Son on the 1-Year Anniversary of His Death
Levi Wright's mom, Kallie Wright, is remembering her late son on the one-year anniversary of his death. 'A year ago today we held you as you took your last breaths. They said it could take a day or 2, I was so scared I wouldnt be holding you when you left and that was so important to me,' Kallie captioned an Instagram post on Monday, June 2. 'You stayed with us 17 minutes. As you left an overwhelming feeling came over me & I knew we had done right by you.' In the photo, Kellie held Levi in his hospital bed while her husband, Spencer Wright, stayed close to them both. 'For me this isnt the day you fully left us but the day it became official,' Kallie's caption continued. 'Levi we talk about and think of you everyday. We live for you! Our love for you is stronger than ever.' Levi was hospitalized in May 2024 following an accident that caused a severe brain injury. The Beaver County Sheriff's Office confirmed that 3-year-old Levi 'had driven a toy tractor into a river' and received 'life saving measures' before being taken to the hospital. After a day of medical care, Levi's family — including Spencer, a rodeo star, and Kallie — offered an update on his condition through family friend Mindy Sue Clark, who was sharing updates via Facebook. (The couple are also parents to daughter Steeley and son Brae.) Rodeo Star Spencer Wright and Wife Kallie's Family Album With 3 Kids: Photos Kallie also offered an update on her son's condition hours before his June 2024 death. 'After several sleepless nights, lots of research, multiple conversations with the world's best neurologists & millions of prayers we are here in the face of our biggest fear. Levi showed us just enough to buy us time for all of this,' Kallie captioned a Facebook video at the time. 'We prayed those things were him defying odds & proving to us that he wanted to stay here but we see now he wanted to give us time to find peace with letting him go. I told you my baby was thoughtful & considerate, I truly believe he did that for us.' Levi was put on life support following his accident. 'Here soon I'll climb into bed with my baby and hold him as he falls asleep for the last time on this earth,' she wrote. 'I find comfort in knowing he will be restored to the perfect little boy he was & have the ability to do all the things he loves! I know there are Angels up there waiting to hold him until I can again!'

Julianne Hough Reveals She Had a Cyst Burst on Live TV in Post Marking 20th Anniversary of' Dancing with the Stars'
Julianne Hough marked the 20th anniversary of Dancing with the Stars with a heartfelt Instagram post on Monday, June 2 Hough, who joined the show when she was 18, described the journey as "incredibly magical" "It's not just about dancing, it's about courage," Hough wrote as part of her lengthy Instagram captionJulianne Hough knows that when life throws you lemons – you keep on dancing! In honor of Dancing with the Stars' 20th anniversary, Hough, 36, shared a lengthy Instagram post, reflecting on her journey with the franchise that she joined at 18 years old. Hough detailed her highs and lows on the show, including having a cyst burst on live television. 'I ended up winning my first two seasons, had a cyst burst on live TV (yep, that happened),' she wrote. Reflecting more on her experience, Hough described her journey as "incredibly magical, unpredictable and emotional." 'It's not just about dancing, it's about courage," she wrote. "It's about what happens when you put yourself out there live and exposed in front of the world but held with so much care. We've all been changed by it." She also said she's grateful that her role on the show has come full circle, from professional dancer 'fresh out of Utah with $2000 in my pocket after training in London' to "co hosting the show that quite literally raised me. I've gotten to experience nearly every role this show has to offer, and each one has taught me something new.' In the comment section, Hough's brother and DWTS judge, Derek Hough, praised his sister's strength for not missing a beat while dealing with a cyst. Healthline describes a cyst as 'a small pocket of tissue often filled with fluid or pus.' John Hopkins Medicine says 'a cyst that ruptures may cause no symptoms, or only mild symptoms. Ruptured cysts that cause mild symptoms can often be managed with pain medicine.' "Winning your first 2 seasons back 🏆to back 🏆at 18 yrs old is a serious flex,' Derek, 40, commented underneath his sister's Instagram post. 'I remember your dance with piano you were just after the surgery/ you are incredible both you and your brother/ big inspiration,' a fan wrote. While another added, 'You were that girl Julianne 😍.' This isn't the first time that Hough has opened up about her experience with a health scare while being a professional dancer. In a June 2020 Women's Health cover story, Hough detailed her journey with endometriosis, the reproductive condition in which uterine tissue grows outside of the uterus, causing cramping and chronic pain. Hough explained how focusing on her energy helped manage her pain symptoms. 'I will tell you, through this transformation of really connecting back to my truth, I haven't had symptoms of endometriosis because of the love and kindness I'm giving to my body,' Hough, who founded dance-based fitness program, KINRGY, said. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. She continued, 'I believe there's stress, shame, guilt, and suppression of female energy that's associated with endometriosis, so de-layering that has really helped.' The last time Hough hit the stage as a DWTS pro was in November 2025, saying, 'I wish I could just get out there' before revealing her dance costume she had hidden underneath her dress. 'Seeing all these amazing dances and dancers out there all season long reminds me of when I was a pro back in the day. And oh, my gosh, I wish I could just get out there and dance sometimes. In fact, why don't we do that?,' she said. Read the original article on People
