The Costco Food Court Hack That Combines 3 Items

Costco food court hacks are a fun trend that's gone across social media for quite a few years now. Customers love taking some of the warehouse grocery giant's classic menu items and twisting them into something new, and to their credit, some of these creations do look fairly good. One hack in particular, the "Jochizza," combines three delicious Costco classics into one.

The Costco Jochizza is a spin on another food court hack called the "Forbidden Glizzy." To make a Jochizza, you need a Costco chicken bake, a hot dog, and a slice of pizza. Cut the chicken bake lengthwise to create a bun of sorts for the hot dog, then top it with the cheese you've peeled off the slice of pizza. Then, add toppings to taste. TikTok user eatitkatie, who featured the Jochizza on their channel, added onions, relish, mustard, and ketchup to make it fully loaded.

While prices will vary between locations, Costco is famous for its $1.50 hot dog and drink combo. A chicken bake costs about $3.99, while a slice of cheese pizza costs $1.99. All together, the Jochizza will run your bill up to about $7.48 plus tax to make; this includes a drink as part of the hot dog combo. For what you're getting, it's not a bad price, though it is significantly higher than most other single items off the Costco menu. Oh, and you may or may not like the actual eating experience.

Reactions to the Jochizza have been mixed. One TikTok user, madcreeps, said simply, "this is a crime." Another, Lalopop31, commented, "My stomach would stop working for a week but it looks so good." Praise for the Jochizza mostly centers around it looking tasty and combining the flavors of three separate menu items that have proven to be hit. The chicken bake, classic Costco hot dog, and pizza separately all make many customers' mouths water, so it should come as no surprise that they would be delicious together.

On the other hand, not everyone is a fan. Their criticism mostly stems from the fact that all of the ingredients in the Jochizza are decidedly unhealthy, and combining them all could result in a real gut bomb. The amount of grease alone is enough to make this hack an instant stomachache for even the hardiest of digestive tracts. There are plenty of lighter Costco food court hacks like the Rotisserie Chicken Caesar Salad wrap that are delicious and somewhat more nutritious.

Ultimately, the Jochizza isn't for everyone. The best Costco food court hacks are simple and easy, but the number of menu items and the preparation involved make it less than convenient. If you're a fan of Costco's food court and have both intense hunger and a hardy stomach, this could be your new favorite. If the Jochizza doesn't look all that appetizing, though, try other Costco food court hacks like making pigs in blankets by combining the chain's franks with a fresh croissant.
