Shoppers are not impressed by the price tag of $ 429.99 on a gas pizza oven that is available at Costco.
Shop expert Laura Jayne Lamb enthusiastically discovered a 16-inch Ooni Koda Pizza oven while shopping at Costco earlier this year.
Lamb, who goes on Instagram with Costcohotfinds, revealed that it was the first time she had ever seen that product in Costco in a video of March 22.
The Costco expert claimed that the oven makes pizza that tastes just like the wood-fired is, “adding that it was perfect for 'back garden pizza evenings'.
“You can cook a pizza in Napolitan style in just over a minute,” Lamb said in her video.
But despite his wonderful results, the price is 'way too much' in the eyes of several pizza fans.
430? No thanks. I'd rather stay with Costco Pizza. Lol, “wrote an Instagram user.
'It's so difficult to use. It is also really expensive, not really worth it, “replied another shopper.

Social media users insisted that they would not buy the pizza oven for his price tag of $ 429.99
The Gaspizza oven currently has an average five-star rating on the Costco website despite the high costs.
“Combining a showstopping design with the convenience of cooking with gas, Koda 16 has a wide opening, large Cordierite stone baking board and innovative L-shaped burner,” read the product description.
It also has folding legs for simple transport and storage, but a propane tank is not included.
A few Instagrammers who already have the pizza oven, gave positive reviews about the product.
'I've left this for more than 2 years and it makes incredible pizza. It is a light learning curve in the beginning, but soooo worth it!, “Wrote a shopper.
“We connected it to a natural gas line and love it!,” Wrote another person.
Although Costco -price complaints have recently been, the Koda 16 -oven on the brand's own website is much higher at $ 599.
Customers also have the option to buy an Ooni Koda 16 Essentials of Ultimate Bundle, which costs $ 679 and $ 849 respectively.

Costco offers a few other pizza ovens in stores, including a 12-inch Ooni Koda.
However, the most expensive is the Forno Venetzia Pronto brand Wood-Kurning Pizza Oven, which costs $ 2,499.99 online.
Costco users who prefer the retailer's pizza at his food courts can buy a slice for $ 1.99.
Whole 18-inch pizzas are also available for $ 9.95, and according to Landwonen, customers can call ahead.
Costco members who are not interested in visiting the Food Court can pick up a fan-favorite Kirkland brand Signature Combo Pizza, which returned to stores in March 2024.
The $ 16.99 pizza is covered with different toppings, such as sausage, mushrooms, onions and green peppers.
The Combo Pizza became a favorite with fans when it was added to Food Court menus in the 1990s, and customers were furious when the retailer stopped offering.
Costco claimed that it removed the pizza due to cost problems, but it did not prevent more than 18,000 applicants from canceling their memberships.
Costco fans were delighted to hear that the retailer brought back his Kirkland brand characteristic Combo-Pizza in March 2024
The chain of the membership apparatus caused a commotion after announcing its decision to increase his membership costs and remove Pepsi drinks.
However, these changes had no influence on the number of customers too serious.
The retailer confirmed that it earned $ 1.19 billion in membership costs during the second quarter, an increase of $ 1.11 billion in the same period last year.
The footstep also increased by 5.6 percent in the US, but Costco CEO Ron Vachris believes that customers will be more selective with products such as rates and inflation continue to grow.
“We believe that the member is probably just as much focused on quality, value and novelty if they have been for quite some time,” said CFO Gary MillerChip during a profit call.
“They still show that the willingness to outsource, but they are very choice where they spend their dollars.”
