Costco has brought back Margherita pizzas, but now they are rectangular – not round, and no longer have basil. Basil is a key ingreditent and they’ve gotten rid of it in favor of their oily, salty, pesto topping. Also, the dough is no longer pizza dough, but this foccia-like flat bread that is far too tough. So we have an oily mess on hard bread with way too much salt and not much else in flavor. It is edible, but not worth the price ($16.99 – item #1816582).

    I saw them and have not tried them. Thank goodness. Why pay $16.99 for one when I can get a hot and ready cheese pizza for $10?

    They started pushing these a few weeks ago at the NOLA store. They looked gross and much lower quality than the round ones they used to have. Thanks for the “hands on” review.

      I gather it is widely distributed.

        I saw it at a newer location, thought it might be something new they were experimenting with

    Just bought Dr.Oetker frozen pizza for 1.99€ (discount price). It is not bad for this price, even better that some local pizzerias.
