THE STORY BEHIND THE BOARD

Costco’s former combo pizza covered a broad Food Court crust with meat and vegetables. It was sold by the slice or as a whole pie. [C1] [C4]

The item

What was on the combo?

History

From menu staple to missing item

A Costco-branded nutrition sheet revised December 21, 2011 includes a “Slice Combo Pizza” line. A whole combo pie appears in a photograph dated January 3, 2012. [C1] [C3]

Costco narrowed its Food Court menu around March 2020, and later reporting describes the combo pizza as removed. Fans kept asking for its return. [C7] [C4]

In materials for its January 20, 2022 shareholder meeting, Costco said it had no plan then to bring the combo back. The company linked its limited Food Court selection to product quality and member service. [C2]

An alternate third-party viewer displays the historical row and revision; neither linked copy authenticates a Costco original or a current serving. [C3] [C9]
