Costco Take And Bake Pizza Review-Great Pizza, Great Price

Sorry I am behind on blog entries, I thought I was back in the groove but then my mom spent a day and a half in the hospital. She is fine, but it messed up my schedule for a while.

Until the November 7, Costco has their Take & Bake pepperoni pizza on sale for $3 off, which brings the price to 6.99 in my local store. It is a huge pizza, practically the size of a hubcap on a Hummer.  And it comes almost totally covered with pepperoni.


Sure, it is big, but it is also a good pizza, comparable to the major chains like Papa Johns.  As you can see, it has lots of pepperoni. But it doesn't end there, it also has a flavorful sauce with a well made crust. Even at regular price, it is a good value. On sale, it is just simply a bargain.  The first one we had we served with the same type of salad we made with the Craisins that are on sale.


For the second one we bought, we topped it with fresh tomato from the farmer's market and Kirkland Signature Artichoke Hearts from Costco. That was fun pizza. It had a variety of textures from the different toppings and the tomato and artichoke hearts added nicely to the flavor profile.



You still have a couple of days to buy them on sale, and even at full price, they are a good deal.

  2. Hey! I saw your blog by chance and I really like the ideas. While I'm not in the US and I don't have a Costco warehouse nearby, I do enjoy reading about your easy-to-make recipes. Keep it up!

  3. I found out about your blog from the Addicted to Costco site and wanted to say thank you for your posts! Personally I don't care for the take and bake pizzas mainly because they bake right in my oven (nothing against the pizzas, it is the oven). I love their pizzas from the food court. I have to say I started laughing when I saw the picture of the pizza because you can't even see the crust or sauce - I never saw a pizza so filled up with pepperoni! I guess I never looked closely enough at the ones at my Costco to realize how they pile it on, haha.

  4. oops, I meant to say the pizzas DON'T bake right in my oven - a home oven just doesn't do it the same way as a pizza oven does.

  5. Hi Mike,
    Next time can you share a pic of the pizza after its bakes? Are you familiar if Papa Murphy's? How does this compare?
    Thanks,

  6. I'm in Chicago, all the meat pizzas have pepperoni. Disgusting. Have they not heard that sausage is king in the windy city?

  7. This take and go pizza pales compared to the pizza sold up front at Costco. Why? Better cheese and crust and sauce. Why do they sell us this bland tasteless pseudo-pizza??? instead of the ones up front???? I sent a letter to the costco magazine but they never addressed it. These are LOUSY pizzas and if you like them you ain't eaten real pizza. Sorry, folks.
