Costco Pizza Slice

The food court legend that feeds a family of four/Food & Drinks

A single slice of Costco food court pizza is roughly one-sixth of an 18-inch pie and weighs in at about 300 grams of cheesy, saucy goodness. At around 700 calories per slice, it delivers a staggering amount of energy for its price. The slice is so large it barely fits on a standard paper plate, which is honestly part of the charm.
