Until Friday, the closest Costco Wholesale members in Hackensack could get to a freshly baked 18-inch pizza were the thousands of boxes offered to pizzerias and restaurants.
The original Hackensack warehouse at 80 S. River St. reopened on March 15 as a Business Center, and instead of eliminating the food court, Costco decided to renovate it.
But delays in getting permits kept it closed until Friday, employees said.
I went there Friday afternoon and picked up freshly baked 18-inch Vegetable and Pepperoni pizzas ($19.90).
At home, I tried to crisp up the slices in the oven for about 10 minutes, but all of the gooey, full-fat cheese weighed down the crust.
Still, I enjoyed the guilty pleasure of three small slices of the vegetable pie for dinner with a glass of red wine and a big organic spring mix salad.
The Kirkland Signature pizzas are baked in a conveyor-belt oven. If you want your pie well-done, the Costco employee can push it back so it spends a couple of more minutes in the oven.

A slice of pizza is $1.99 (actually, two small slices). Also available is a Hot Turkey & Provolone Sandwich for $3.99, below.

Other food court items include a fruit smoothie, frozen yogurt and an all-beef hot dog. |
A slice of Costco pizza has a minimum of 710 calories. |
The food court at the Costco Wholesale Business Center in Hackensack (1-201-296-3044). This Costco is closed on Sundays.
