Costco Fans Disappointed That This Beloved Food Court Staple Is Unavailable on the US: ‘Does an American Costco Card Work Internationally?'
Costco Fans Disappointed That This Beloved Food Court Staple Is Unavailable on the US: 'Does an American Costco Card Work Internationally?' originally appeared on Parade. Costco's food court is a holy place. Its fans are loyal, the food hits the spot and the prices are some of the lowest you can find anywhere. The $1.50 hot dog combo alone carries half the food court's legacy on its back, and with ease at that. But there's one menu item that got away (among many) that fans haven't let Costco forget: the sorely missed Combo Pizza. First introduced in the late 1980s, it held its place as a food court staple for decades before vanishing during 2020's Covid-era menu cuts. And despite constant online pleas for its return, the Combo Pizza remains a distant memory—living on only in our dreams. 😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔 That is, unless you've got a trip planned to Tokyo—because word is, you can still score the beloved Combo Pizza at Costco locations in Japan. So now you've got to ask yourself: is a plane ticket and hotel stay worth it? We say yes—especially if you build an entire trip around it. 'Combo pizza,' @costcohotfinds writes in a post that catches your eye and briefly tricks you at first glance. 'Now if we could get it back [in America] too.'Naturally, viewers were a bit disappointed when Natasha's video revealed the menu was in Japanese, making it clear their dreams haven't come true just yet. 'Does an American Costco card work internationally?' one fan asked, hitting the important questions. 'Anywhere in the world,' another replied. 'Yes, but take your physical card. They don't accept digital memberships,' a third chimed in. All jokes aside, it's still a mystery to fans why Costco hasn't brought back such a beloved staple. The $1.50 Hot Dog Combo stands as a beacon of what the Pizza Combo once was—and what it could be again. Until that day comes, fans will keep reminding Costco exactly what they miss most.

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!
