The Take
Costco's Detroit-style square gives you crispy cheese edges that deliver texture and nothing else. The dough, toppings, and default fats are pure industrial food-court engineering designed for throughput, not flavor.
Portion size is the only honest selling point. Everything else tastes like it was formulated to move volume fast.
The Verdict
The crispy border is the single redeeming feature in an otherwise engineered product. It signals bulk buyers chasing value while flavor seekers get the usual food-court compromise.
Order the Detroit deep dish with pepperoni well-done or skip it entirely.
