Pizza at Costco can be made vegetarian, if you order a whole pizza. Until very recently, you could order a sausage or pepperoni pizza, but now sausage is eliminated. Sausage with pepperoni is still available as a combo.

pepperoni pizza = OK
sausage pizza = NO
sausage with pepperoni = OK
I seem to recall they often can and will make the pizza's to order so you are saying that they will refuse to make just a sausage pizza?

They have a list of what they will do and sausage-only is no longer an option. You are welcome to test this for yourself and advise.

They do make them to order and the staff is usually accommodating but they have a set menu they can't veer from. Frustrating when you can plainly see them placing ingredients, but I guess they don't want to open the door to 100 variations.

Costco's sheetcakes once allowed three cake choices: vanilla, chocolate and carrot cake. There were multiple fillings. Now it is chocolate and vanilla cake with either chocolate or vanilla mousse filling and frosting. I can only guess orders were being mixed with the old system.
My favorite sheet cake combo once was: carrot cake, cream cheese icing and apricot filling.

I think they do cheese, veggie, sausage/pepp, pepperoni. In any case, it's my "when there's nothing else" option. This city has so much amazing pizza we're down to about 2x/year.

Post #968 - November 15th, 2019, 5:42 pmSpanish Serrano Ham at the Salem Oregon Costco for $99.99 with knife and holding rack. Last year a couple of Spanish women visiting Oregon bought 4 of them. Actually took all that were on the shelf.

Post #971 - November 16th, 2019, 6:17 amI've found I have to downsize my photos. Not sure what the software limit is, but when I go to 600 px or so across, the photos upload well.

Post #975 - November 16th, 2019, 8:39 pmWow, for 1 pound more the price jumped from $100 to $550. Amazing. Based on the price per pound on the sign, ours here in Salem are 14.4 pounds.Jim-Bob wrote:They also sell a 15.4 Iberico ham for $550 with a stand and knife.

Post #978 - November 16th, 2019, 11:25 pmI didn't know that. This place is always an education for me. Of course, I probably couldn't tell the difference between the two.

Yes, when I was first introduced to bellota a slice was placed in my palm so I could experience it melting just from my body heat. Pricey but oh so worth it.Objects in mirror appear to be losing.

Post #983 - November 19th, 2019, 5:15 amThe Iberico is actually a good deal price wise as Belotta raised on acorns is usually is over $1k from La Tienda.
The $99 Serrano is a steal.
I ordered a Bellota from La Tienda and it took 5 years for FDA approval which included time to raise the pigs and feed on acorns.
Yes, you can tell the difference and the Bellota is heaven but for $99, the Serrano is quite good. My granddaughter spent a semester in Spain this year and my daughter and family went to visit. Jamon abounded. I got some vacuum packed slice smuggled into the USA.

Having seen beagles in the baggage claim, and knowing that my late beagle would come bounding into the kitchen when I pulled frozen, vacuum-sealed pork out of the freezer, I never have risked trying to get the magic ham into the US.
On pricing, Iberico Club (which somehow got onto my Facebook ad rotation) has a 10lb Bellota for $499, a 16lb one for $899. So there's definitely a premium on the Bellota, or a nice discount at Costco.What is patriotism, but the love of good things we ate in our childhood?

Post #985 - November 20th, 2019, 9:47 amIt is my understanding that the beagles are mainly looking for fruit.

Post #990 - November 26th, 2019, 12:09 pmI was at LP Costco last night and they were out of the Serrano. I did ask a few people, most of which had no idea, and one person looked into it and found that they were receiving 55 more today. I'm not sure if they did, bc I called the 'South Loop' store this morning due to it's proximity to my office, and they had 5 left so I just went and scooped one up. Can't speak to the quality just yet, but I can't imagine that I'll be disappointed at that price point.
Didn't ask about or see any Iberico at either location.
