Priced at $6.99, the new menu item, as seen on the Instagram profile @costcobuys, is a folded dough pocket filled with pepperoni, sausage, cheese, onions, peppers, olives, and mushrooms, reminiscent of the warehouse club’s former combo pizza. <\/p>\n
The combo calzone is currently available at only one store in Michigan. Its future on the menu may depend on customer feedback and sales performance.<\/p>\n
The calzone’s introduction has been met with mixed reviews. While some customers appreciate the hearty combination of ingredients, others have criticized its presentation and taste. <\/p>\n

(Instagram\/@costcobuys)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nThe $6.99 price point has sparked discussions about value, especially when compared to Costco’s longstanding $1.50 hot dog and soda combo. <\/p>\n
Some customers question whether the calzone offers sufficient value for its cost, particularly given recent price increases for other food court items. <\/p>\n
\u201cLooks good but Costco food courts sets my mind to lower prices,\u201d one Instagram user commented. <\/p>\n
\u201cFor that price, I can get a chicken bake, hot dog combo and a slice pizza,\u201d another person said. <\/p>\n
A third declared, \u201cThat looks positively ghastly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Others Costco fans said they would gather just see the return of the beloved Combo pizza, which was discontinued in early 2020 for an undisclosed reason. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey be doing anything but bring the combo pizza back,\u201d one social media user posted. While another added: \u201cWHERE\u2019S THE COMBO PIZZA AT THIS POINT THEY ARE PLAYING WITH US\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCostco will do anything but bring back combo Pizza,\u201d one disappointed fan said. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
