you do, since the food court is locate inside sam unlike costco, where their food court is outside.

Depends on locations. Almost all will usually let you buy lunch though around here without a 'card'.

Costco food courts are inside the store as are Sams...BJ's here uses Subway.

Oh, in regard to their locations are at malls - we have a mall in the area. It sucks. Except for Christmas time, you can often look down the entire length of the mall hallway and easily count everyone. There's a pizza shop located in the mall near one of the entrances. They do an excellent business and many people go there just to pick up a pizza. Why? Because it's good pizza.

If your business model is selling a food simply because you have a captive audience who really doesn't care about quality, then you deserve to go out of business.

Next:
Panda Express

Maybe my area is different than yours, but Panda is tasty and almost always crowded. I don't see them going under ever. The local one isn't even in a mall, it's a separate restaurant and seems to do pretty well.

I can walk into Costco and get 2 slices and a drink for $4.97. Not saying the pizza at Costco is to die for or anything, but ok for lunch.

Costco pizza is the BomB! My buddies and I used to eat there every friday for lunch, 4 of us would kill two larges. You can't beat the price.

The Fat Boys need to make a new video to save the day.

Since one of them died, the real Fat Boys will never be back...which means they will also never be whack. I have some mp3s around here somewhere.

Has anyone tried the Carne Asada bake at Costco? If so what did you think?

Sbarro files for Burger King? I don't get it.

*reads link*
Oh, Ch. 11... that would have made a lot more sense

Exactly what I thought lol. Would make more sense to say "Sbarro files for the black flag with white lettering on the Wheel of Fortune wheel" or something. Just spell out the word dude, got enough BS acronyms to get right in my head these days, yeesh.

MAN, I grew up on their pizza because of it being in malls. ahhh memories. I remember if you were leaving the mall around closing time and went by they would sell us all the leftovers from dinnertime for around 5$ a giant box. Was awesome.

Sam's club pizza is good too, and CHEAP massive slices.

I love me some pizza, sometimes i can't help but eat it a few nights a week

Wait, are you saying that "BK" actually means "Bankruptcy" in some context somewhere? I sure as heck didn't think so. If not, we need to insult the OP for using meaningless abbreviations. BK is meaningless. "BNKRPT," I could accept.

"BK" stands for bankruptcy pretty much anywhere I have ever seen. It's a common abbreviation in the financial world.

Why are people comparing them to pizza places just because they have pizza? What they have isn't anything like a normal pizza place. It's like comparing an authentic Mexican place to Chipotle Mexican Grill or comparing Chipotle Mexican Grill to Taco Bell.

They have a lot of pizza-like dishes and pasta all served with things like spinach and other greens. They never struck me as an "expensive pizza place" but as a "premium European fatty foods" place that BELONGS in shopping malls next to the other expensive ethnic foods. Even their vegetarian stuff is drenched in oils and cheese.

Yeah, I see that. It's still silly and I wouldn't use it outside of the financial world.

That stuff makes me bloat up like a parade balloon for some reason. Not sure if it's their sauce or their pepperoni :( I do get their 1/4 lb hot dog and drink for $1.50 special on occasion however.
