"Costco's Combo pizza was a glorious slice bedecked with the myriad toppings of pepperoni, Italian sausage, black olives, mushrooms, red onions, and bell peppers."
"The concept is called a 'loss leader,' and the idea is that even if the chain loses a little money on every hot dog, if it helps bring in customers, then it's a win."
Costco's food court is famous for its low prices, including the $1.50 hot dog combo and $2 pizza slices. The Combo pizza, featuring toppings like pepperoni, Italian sausage, and vegetables, was a favorite among shoppers. However, it disappeared during the COVID-19 pandemic and has not returned, leaving many loyal customers disappointed. The company employs a 'loss leader' strategy, accepting losses on food items to attract customers to the store, but the absence of the Combo pizza remains a sore point for fans.
