'That don't impress them much.'
A new take on a beloved Costco food court item will soon be making an appearance — but fans of the wholesale giant aren't sure how they feel about it.
Costco is notorious for adding and removing items from its food court menu. Remember the Polish hot dogs, the Carne Asada Bake or the cinnamon pretzels? May they all rest in peace.
The bulk item store announced that the Combo Calzone — a new take on the OG Combo Pizza — will soon be available at its food court, but customers aren't jumping up and down over this news.
3 The response to this new Costco food court item is underwhelming.

According to Southern Living, the $6.99 food item is stuffed with pepperoni, sausage, cheese, onions, peppers, olives and mushrooms.
Although it sounds delicious — in the r/Costco subreddit, most people aren't impressed by the cheesy concoction.
'I actually had it the other day (Lansing, Michigan). It's alright. It's kind of like a big slice folded on itself, so it has a 'crust' (which you can see in the photo). I felt like it was a little overcooked, but maybe it was just my location. I don't think it'd be something I would get very often, but I don't regret trying it. I think the regular pizza is better,' one user wrote.
'They don't look very good imo,' someone else wrote.
3 People online did not hold back when it came to their opinions on Costco and its food court offerings.

'Seems like Costco will do anything but bring back the combo pizza,' a grumpy customer wrote.
'I love calzones and I like pepperoni and sausage. That picture does not look enticing. I think the coloring is off and there is a distinct lack of cheese in the filling,' quipped another commenter.
Yet some tried it and seemed to enjoy it.
'Had one today, it was delicious!' a positive comment read.

'Yes! It was perfection…' wrote someone else.
In other Costco food news, one TikTokker slammed the store's beloved rotisserie chicken, giving it a surprisingly low rating.
Content creator Johnny Novo (@jnov__) made it a point to taste test rotisserie chickens from various grocery stores — including Whole Foods, Wegmans and Costco.
Costco's $4.99 chicken came in 10th place.
Novo said the chicken was moist, but that it was severely lacking in flavor. 'No one's going to eat this chicken and be blown away,' he concluded.
