I don't like Pizza Pizza.

The 3 topping pizza at Costco still manages to taste like a Pizza Nova Pizza slice, but with the sauce, cheese and toppings placed on crappy dough.
It's a sad shame they couldn't get the dough right. Everything else seems so close.

Clearly your palette is lacking. It tastes nothing like Pizza Nova to me.

Perhaps part of the motivation for this change is to get more people to (hopefully) say yes to their Costco Mastercard credit card.
It's not compulsory, but it does blend in well with their sales pitch..."...and if you're all out of cash after all that shopping, but you're still hungry, you can use our credit card to pay for food in our food court now..."
(even though any mastercard will do just fine)
Yeah, I know it's a gradual change. Just wanted to point it out to people who might expect otherwise at that location.

Costco Brossard has the credit card terminals now. So easy to just tap and go. I also noticed they changed their ice cream machine though. The swirl is visibly different, makes big loopy swirls like dairy Queen and it tastes more like frozen yogourt. Too bad I preferred the real cream.

Do they take any Mastercard or only the Costco Mastercard? I'm not a member but have been using the food court lol.

Yup I completely agree - no way that it tastes anything close to a Pizza Nova pizza.

playnicee1 - I probably eat a Pizza Nova pizza twice a month...it's my go-to cheap pizza....that 3 topping pizza at Costco tastes like cardboard - complete garbage...you couldn't pay me to eat that again.

Yeah, the crust would do that.
The sauce and cheese alone deserve better credit though.
If they're using Kirkland brand, it did not seem that way.
At least we are in agreement that the crust is really bad.
I'm even willing to agree that the pepperoni could perhaps be better, but something about the taste of the sauce, cheese and select other toppings really gave it a pizza Nova feeling/taste.
