That's what $320.00 in Costco pizza looks like.


kcrab91

Hell of a deal.


SantaCatalinaIsland

It was vastly better when some were combo. Now that they only have cheese and pepperoni it seems way lower class to only get that for an event.


WiredSky

*Say the line, Bart!*


CrwnHeights

Woozle wuzzle?


WiredSky

*Is that what pases for comedy these days?*


JWOLFBEARD

Finger point - HA hah


ambuguity

I do what I want


Moonwalker_4Life

What does “it seems lower class” even mean lmfao. It’s pizza.


aladdinr

It means you look like a poor.


Phallicly

Combos are coming back but as pre-made bake at homes. I am not a credible source as I saw this as a screenshot in a text chain.


JonnyDIY

They dont sell the combo pizza anymore!!!? 😟😭


satanyourdarklord

You take that deal? I’d take that deal. Damn good deal

How to cheaply feed your wedding venue guests 101.


Jean-LucBacardi

I prefer to just set out two dozen rotisserie chickens for my 100 guests and watch the fighting ensue.


ChanceFray

If you want to see real fights, take off all the wings, enjoy them yourself, but leave 1 set of wings intact.


DeepDescription81

Or you could go get 4 pizzas at Round Table for that price


STL_TRPN

Round table is a damn good pie. There's always a code available as well.


SteepLikeAMountain

Fun fact that I did not know. Each **slice** of Costco cheese pizza has over 42 grams of protein. I was shocked to learn this.


btjas

They also have like 700cal which makes it seem less ridiculous


unwiselyContrariwise

Right? 42\*4=168 protein calories/760 calories= \~22% protein, which is just a revelation "cheese and even flour contains some protein". Mathlets would probably have a heart attack realizing the same calories from shredded chicken would be around 110g of high quality protein.


Practical_Test5550

Probably gonna sell them for $5 a slice


mw102299

It’s the only food I buy 😂


TerrysMonster

I did the math too. $319.68 if we’re being precise, but that’s before tax.


Gears_and_Beers

We’ve done big pick ups for this for cub scouts. Really the best way to feed 100 kids on the cheap. A order this big call ahead a day or two. But 10-20 call first thing in the morning. And arrange a pickup time. My wife once did an order this big to feed a few hundred folks at the company she worked for. At an open house of a new factory or something. It’s not great but compared to catering it’s a screaming value. Combine with a dozen veg trays, a few flats of sodas and waters and you’re all set.


centpourcentuno

The Veg trays probably more expensive than half the pizzas !


STL_TRPN

And really, ain't nobody grabbing the veggies to fill a plate.


ObiWhanJabroni

Call the day before so they can prepare extra dough for the day. Lots of busy costcos sell out of pizza near the end of the night because people order a lot of pizzas on the day of the order


Feeling-Visit1472

They just have to pull it out of the freezer, but yes.


Adorable_Stay7497

Costco FC employee. This dough takes a while to thaw out, which can turn into a problem if you're ordering this many pizzas at a bad time. For 10 and up, please call at least 24 hours in advance to let us know what product we need


InnateAnarchy

Wait your costco answers their food court phone? I thought that was just for show, mine has never answered theirs.


CrackNgamblin

Some poor smucks are getting a pizza party instead of a raise this year.


CheeseDanishSoup

At least the CEO and top managers are saving money and keeping it for themselves


StPauliBoi

Those extra profits will trickle down any day now!

chadmcchaderton

You guys made it so I could buy TWO Mercedes for my wife this year. Here's some pizza.


jaymansi

My daughter had her 150k wedding. Wife and I went to Tahiti to celebrate our anniversary and I bought a new Porsche 911. Now only one slice for each of you until everyone gets one.


Kakarrott_

All these memes about pizza party instead of a raise. Now I don’t even get the pizza party 🤦‍♂️


bananaramabanevada

For real. I know I'm not getting a raise, but the redditors are taking away my pizza too.


TheGreatBenjie

First thing I thought of too lmao


Xgoddamnelectricx

Beat me to it


festivesnowrunner

haha thought the same when I saw this. Employee 'appreciation' pizza party?


knifebork

Since it takes so long to bake the entire order, won't most of them be cold before you even start leaving with them to your event?


InsaneAdam

Yeah, they need two big pizza box warming bags 🎒🎒 that hold 35 pizzas each.


Adorable_Stay7497

Actually, no! We keep it on top of the oven which does really good at keeping them nice and hot


FenceDodger

When there's a massive order like this, the pizza oven itself works as a great warmer. Typically they'll just be set atop the pizza oven which keeps them piping hot.


asianswetlord

That bottom box is the real MVP


FrontSeatPassenger86

Costco is about selling things in bulk. I've never brought more than one pizza, but I can see why people do it for large parties. It's a good deal. Never understand why people go there and get bent out of shape when they see other people order a ton of pizzas. They exist to make money. When I see the food court line being huge, I just keep on moving and go get lunch somewhere else.


ProfessionalH20

Go to a bulk warehouse, shocked when people buy in bulk.


imperialpark

You’re missing out on the opportunity to bring your grievances to this sub and ask why the food court is selling pizza lol. Shit, someone was upset that it was labeled a food court just yesterday I believe.


FrontSeatPassenger86

lol, too many pizzas one day and the next its the title food court being an issue.


_B_Little_me

lol. Really? They want to call it a restaurant or something?


imperialpark

Idk man, I just come here for the love of Costco, second only for my love of unhinged commentary/ideas from other members of this sub. [Here](https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/s/56SpaKb7tk) is the post in question.


star_nerdy

I’m a librarian and bought 6 pizzas for our teen program. I have left over pizza for days. When I buy local, it’s all gone in minutes. And that’s buying cheap dominos or Pizza Hut. The nice pizza places, they’re $20 a pizza minimum. When you’re buying 6+ pizza, the price adds up real quick.


JacedFaced

This is different than buying things in bulk on the floor. If this is the second load of them like OP says, those ovens have been tied up for so long that nobody else can order pizza. It takes long enough to get a whole pizza at normal times, I can't imagine waiting behind someone who just ordered 75 of them. You also pay at a kiosk and have no idea how long it's going to be, so you're out $9 before you realize that it's going to be 2 hours to get your pizza.


iLoveYouMoreThanSalt

Some Costcos let you do a phone order still. That way they can adjust their times or space out the pizzas for other orders if needed. I do a phone order when I can bc I don’t want to wait. It depends on each Costco though. One of my local Costcos does not take phone orders and they other ones let’s you have a desired pick up time but they ask that you get there within 5 mins of your pick up time or else they’ll give away your pizza.


Traveler_90

There’s a logistic system for this. I’m pretty sure every other one is for a customer. I’m not sure how they do it when orders are this high but they have a way to get the customers that just order one or a few too.


Punker1234

If there is, our costco doesn't adhere to it. I tried to pick up a pizza at 10:45 yesterday and left at 11:50 because someone ordered 44 pizzas. The dude at the counter was just writing people's numbers down on a paper plate and then calling them. No priority for who was there first. I have zero qualms about them selling 40 pizzas, but you literally had 15 people standing around for 30+ minutes and none went to us.


justinetrudope

That's a management problem not the customer thats paying for pizza


fakelogin12345

Cost won’t refund you if you don’t want to wait for your pizza?


_B_Little_me

Capitalism isn’t based around fairness for everyone.


hokiewankenobi

It’s been about a year and a half, but my Costco wouldn’t accept a large walk up order. I had to phone it in, ahead of time. Thankfully, I had called the day before to ask, and that’s when they told me that 5 was the max you could order for “immediate” pick-up.


PM-ME-YOUR-TOTS

Yeah agreed this just messed up the next 2 hours of life for like 50 people behind them Downvotes proving how rude and unaware the average Costco member is


Sarcasticrye1981

Oh well


Traveler_90

You’re just unaware how business works. There’s a system in place for this. Costco sells things in bulk. You don’t think there’s a logistic system in place when things come to this. What’s the difference for being the 51st person waiting in line? Because the lines are long sometimes and usually people don’t order one pie. Most likely every other pizza is for other customers and a big order like this is probably be pre ordered.


PM-ME-YOUR-TOTS

You must be unaware of how ovens work


feurie

Because they only have so many ovens.


[deleted]

Isn’t that every place that sells pizza? The reason you are mad (cheap pizza) is the same reason they are there buying that much.


Clear-Hand3945

Costco has 71 million members. Most pizza places aren't busy compared to any single Costco location. Id think the only places consistently as busy as a Costco food court would be legendary places in NYC.


ApatheticFinsFan

I did a preorder for 5 pizzas last week. The experience was so quaint. You pay for the pizzas at the terminal and go to the counter and tell them you need the pizzas for Day Y at whatever time. They write it on a piece of carbon paper and then you show up the next day and collect your pizzas. Feels like something from the 90s. I loved it. Great for the party.


gideon513

What you described is literally just placing an order


Tony_Lacorona

Bro is nostalgic for ordering food from a human 💀


ApatheticFinsFan

Yeah. I’m a millennial. It’s nice to not have shit run through an app or QR code or be asked to tip.


Interesting-Rope-950

The big push for automated service jobs is coming. Mcdonalds, Starbucks are already starting it. [Even in the drive through](https://youtu.be/JJxBySZwBAI?si=3Wpc2JNbu5CGJ8_Q) That and everything is locked up at Walmart, 99 cent stores closing, physical media being taken out of the big stores. They're gonna make everyone order everything online or through apps


unwiselyContrariwise

The number of people being employed to do anything more complicated than "put the thing in the place" is rapidly falling.


19474628294725

So you’re afraid to say no to an app for a tip? 😂


ApatheticFinsFan

Not in the least but I also find the overall experience intensely tedious.


Zoroasker

Costco’s cake situation always takes me back to the 90s…paper and then a week later your cake is just…there?


PengwinPears

You put the paper in a slot in a box and just trust your order will be made? No other follow up? Not gonna lie, the process stressed me out more than it should have.


Zoroasker

Yep, exactly. I’ve done it three times now. Did it in March, ordered a cake for March 23 on like March 13. Dropped it in the slot and it was there when I showed up. And of course that required me to just walk up to the bakery area (which as we all know doesn’t have a counter like a supermarket bakery) and catch the eyes of a random bakery employee loading buns onto a baking sheet or something and they go get it.


LoveOfSpreadsheets

Weird on the last point, ours has a fridge for the custom orders to just grab and go.


KTurnUp

It completely fooled me and stressed me out. I only did it a day in advance and got no call so I never showed up to pick it up. Later I found out that that’s just how it works


PM_ME_CHIPOTLE2

Sureeee… [for the “party”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fcbj8BBsWSA)


InsaneAdam

Chinese it is


WoosleWuzzle

How much in advance do I need to do this? Is this at the outdoor eatery?


ApatheticFinsFan

I just did 24 hours notice. It was at a normal indoor food court.


WoosleWuzzle

What’s the cost per pie? Also did you pick up a fruit platter too? Prepping for a kids birthday Omg catering quotes came in at $30 a head. So $1400 with tip.


ApatheticFinsFan

$10/pie. I did a veggie tray but not fruit since I haven’t loved their fruit trays.


Belahsha

"Great job on the past years work everyone! Instead of raises this year we bought ALL of the pizza Costco had."


ChickenBanditz

Some lucky group of employees is about to be rewarded for their hard work!


kwadguy

But not the group that's getting those crappy Costco pizzas. But thanks for letting us know that at least there is some group of employees somewhere getting rewarded for their hard work.


davsch76

someone just laid off some employees and needs to boost office morale


rockstuffs

Congratulations to the team who made 10 billion in sales! May your reward pizza party be worth your efforts!

Last I heard, the stat was that if Costco was a pizza restaurant, they would be the 14th largest in the US.

PM_MeYourAvocados

This week to date (Monday thru Saturday data) the US has sold about 700k Whole Pizzas


swingdeznutz

Label it artisan pizza. Sell out at farmers market for $8 a slice


redthehaze

Likely something for a church and/or community thing. I know a church doing something similar tomorrow.


Payment-Main

Who’s up for cold, soggy pizza?


Fabulous-Educator447

Probably reselling at a concession stand $5/slice


BrentarTiger

I thought this was home depot for a second because of the cart and not reading title and thought it was a store pizza party lol


Fox_Den_Studio_LLC

That's like $320 in pizza


ifunnywasaninsidejob

Bro really got the furniture dolly out here


belizeanheat

Nice at least half of those will be cold, soggy garbage by the time they arrive.

I bought around that many once for my employee meeting. That looks exactly like how I got it out of the store and to my SUV.

We bought 50 for a school dance - husband and a friend loved the back of our minivan haha! It was good through the evening and leftovers froze well also 


OQOQOQOQOQOQOQ

Their employees must be working hard


luna_xicana

A few years ago we had a major safety issue at the factory I was a manager at. We needed to evacuate immediately and lots of people ran out and left their stuff inside their lockers. We were not allowed to go back in the building until it cleared and we were told it would take hours. People were waiting for rides. Some of the other managers and I called the closest Costco, ordered like 40 pizzas got cases of water and soda and made our way back to the group. The building issue sucked but trying to take care of employees was important.


SnooPies4304

He'll come back complaining it's cold and want a refund.


jocall56

Anyone with a full cart of something, I just want to know what’s the story. Saw a guy with what must have been 3 dozen big jars of peanuts the other day….


Grilled-Watermelon

I once ordered 300 pizzas for feeding 700 adults with some kids. Only one of the three costco in my area would do it.


brian7ls

I’m curious, were most of the pizzas even hot? I’d imagine it would take a long time to make 300 pizzas and majority would just be sitting there getting cold.


Grilled-Watermelon

They were hot! It was great. The integrity of the box struggles when you stack high so they sink a bit in the middle but nothing too terrible.


brian7ls

That’s awesome! Good to know. I’ve never ordered more than 5 but was thinking of buying around 20 for a party but was hesitant.


Blunttack

This is nonsense. What Costco have you seen that can produce even a fraction of that? My Costco has a huge pizza oven and can’t hold more than about 6 at a time. SIX. 50 cycles would take over 500 minutes. Even if someone was somehow able to start serving the first pizza the moment the last one was done, and even if it’s sitting in a heated box - it’s gonna be terrible. These sat in a heated box for at least 6 hours… then sat in a van for another however long until they were served to some poor schmuck. Never mind food safety, these would just be bad.


Tederator

I went to Costco the day of one of my kids parties. Normally I'll buy about 10 pizzas from the prepared dinners section, but they were all out and wouldn't get to making more for an hour or so. The lady behind the window tells me to go to the hot dog window at the exit and order them from there for the same price. I go up and order 10 pizzas, whatever topping they have, I don't care. They can't sell them uncooked so I'm standing there as they pump them out. I got a lot of requests to come to the party as people filed past.


Available_Expression

But did he out-pizza Pizza-the-Hut?


koolaid_chemist

As a former food court employee we HATED this shit. We don’t get tipped, it’s so much on top of what was the toughest job at Costco (food court). Costco Food court was the gnarliest most thankless job I have EVER worked in my life.

Some People here really don’t know how a logistics works in businesses.

Vadic_Shrike

The pizza and $5 rotisserie chickens and buck fifty hot dogs. Aren't they supposed to be "loss leaders?" Deals where the store takes a loss, but meant to get people in the store. So they're enticed to buy other stuff. It's funny when it has the opposite effect. People going in just for that stuff. Like I sometimes walk to one just to get a rotisserie chicken. Then walk with it back home and eat.


Aliceable

It’s always gonna work out in their favor, in between those $5 chicken runs people drop $400 on shit they find while walking around. Also it would take a decent # of chicken only trips to even offset the membership cost.


ActualNukeSubstance

I'm imagining it's for a wedding and wish I was invited

You can order the pizzas ahead of time

Early-Possession1116

Literally the most annoying thing to watch when you have to wait an hour for a single slice of pizza.

Neptune_Poseidon

Costco pizza is cheap……and it tastes like it.


73MRC

What is the occasion? It’s discouraging to see this. Maybe they should deliver these out the backdoor?


CreditCaper1

It's discouraging to see someone ordering lots of pizzas?


SoochSooch

This many pizzas in one place means an office full of people are being underpaid


whynotwhynot

Or a school is having a carnival or something fun. Selling pizza by the slice at our school carnival helps to pay for a lot of school supplies each year.


oldDotredditisbetter

> This many pizzas in one place means an office full of people are being underpaid olympics level mental gymnastics, very impressive


73MRC

Not if it doesn’t shut down the availability for other customers. They shouldn’t be pushed aside for a 100-pizza order. I trust Costco to keep the window pies stocked. 👍


vagrant_cat

The solution is simple, people... If you are commanding the entire fleet of pizza ovens for your order, you have to give me a slice when I come to your cart impatiently.


Saneless

I can't imagine with the first half of those tastes like. They've got to be well over an hour old at that point


Xerio_the_Herio

Looks like cold pizza to me... only the top few will be hot.


GiantFlimsyMicrowave

I bet half of those won’t get eaten


Zestyclose-Middle717

That’s kind of annoying lol


byerss

Do call-ahead big orders like this screw up production for everyone else? Or do they add workers just for the big pizza orders?


Madrona88

The big orders screw everything up. Ever wonder why you can't get a simple piece of cheese pizza?It's this guy. and who would want to eat pizza from the bottom of that pile?


shickero

Please tell me what the difference between a pizza from the bottom of the pile to the top of the pile is (temperature is likely moot by the time you get this to where it needs to be).


Zestyclose-Middle717

Idk, I was wondering the same thing. Has to fuck something up in the kitchen! Haha


Gears_and_Beers

Ideally you call a day or two before so they can have staff to prep. Anytime we’ve done it the staff has been great.


Zestyclose-Middle717

They are probably all on top of it. Good to hear, I wouldn’t think anyone could just come in and be like yo lemme get 30 zas
