A North Carolina man is facing multiple felony charges after he broke into a Little Caesars after closing time and started making and selling pizzas, according to police. It happened Sunday, the day after a massive snow storm hit the state, and the suspect kept all the money for himself, the Kinston Police Department said in a Feb. 2 news release.
An arrest was made after the suspect tried to break into the shop a second time, police said.
Little Caesar’s is extremely precise, like down to the fraction of a penny, with everything they do, hence how they keep costs low. It was for sure different. Better? I guess it depends on how you like the ratio of their ingredients.
Their pizza isn’t bad, for a large pizza that you can walk in the door and walk out with without calling ahead, and which costs less than ten dollars American in the year of Our Lord J-Town two thousand twenty and six.
It’s actually pretty remarkable given those conditions.
If you don’t mind spending a little extra, Costco has the best $10 pizza. They only offer pepperoni or cheese in my neck of the woods, but it is large and delicious.
Also worth noting that Costco doesn’t require a membership for their fresh food, pharmacy, or (depending on where you live, and your local liquor laws) liquor store. You can just tell the greeter that you’re there for the pizza, and they’ll wave you through.
Their pharmacy is often one of the cheapest, and the pharmacy techs at my local Costco are all super helpful. Apparently working in pharmacies is pretty soul-sucking, but my local employees always seem to be in a good (and not just artificial “retail smile” good) mood.
And yes, the Costco brand vodka is every bit as good as Grey Goose.
i heard they cracked down on non-members in the stores now.
Some states have laws against membership requirements for selling alcohol. Federal law prohibits restricting access to pharmacies by membership.
Technically the way the laws are written in my state, I believe they could be barred from selling alcohol if they turned away non-members for prepared food, as that would qualify them as a ‘private club,’ since theyd be carrying both any liquor liscence, (the statute fails to specify on or off- premises liquor liscence for the requirement) and a prepared food liscence, unless they meet a whole slew of requirements, like being ‘distinctly private’ (which prohibits them from operating in a commercial capacity, having more than 200 members, or having any non-members allowed in, (which gets tricky combined with the federal pharmacy rules))
Now, its quite possible that Costco in Mass is actually turning people away, and no ones bothered to report them to the property authority (I believe this comes to the town’s ABC liscencing body and / or food handling liscencing to enforce) But, for instance, when my mom ran a private buying club style coop, she wasnt even able to get the liscencing for the club also sell off premise alcohol for running afoul of these laws (despite not having a liscence to prepare and serve food, just selling ot ‘off premise’- still was enough to qualify)
In our state, places like golf clubs always have the restaurant as separate from the members only places for this reason. The few actual private clubs always have weird rules around guests to accommodate the rules, for instance the anglers club i go tonwith a friend sometimes doesnt allow ‘guests,’ they allow ‘sponsored probationary members’, and i jave to claim i ‘intend to catch a fist of legal size and weight to present to the club. Theres then a little kids’ hickey mouse rod, with a lure but no hooks, that is then cast into the harbor, to ‘show an earnest attempt’ before im allowed in, although that parts just for fun.
Costco pizza is amazing. The cheese has SO MUCH CHEESE on it. I like to order that and then shake some Slap Ya Mama on it.
While we are swapping tips and advocating for CostCo: I recommend skipping out on their cooked ribs, which I feel are merely okay. Instead, go for the refrigerated Louisiana Ribs. They come as a pair, so you can split them between two days of cooking if you feel like. Provided you foil them and cook for at least 2 hours at 350 degrees, they will be extremely tasty and tender.
too bad the pizza is not actually pizza dough.
What do you mean?
Probably made with cheap regular flour and not ‘000’ grade flour.
Edit: or 00 flour. Finely ground flour from soft wheat for superior elasticity.
