    Agree, spinach on white is a very common thing.
    More common, that I see in NJ, than chicken or pineapple.  
    I like the BBQ chicken pizza, but I know it is a CA invention.  Have had many I've liked.
    I strongly dislike the Hawaiian pizza...pineapple and ham.  
    Others can have it, doesn't bother me.
    I've never had lettuce on an actual pizza.  Wpuld guess it is bad but I don't know.
    I've had "greek style" pizza with spinach on it. Made it wet. didn't like. however, it was a frozen pizza, so likely the issue. Maybe I'll try it again at a restaurant. but I stand by no shredded head lettuce on pizza that I saw earlier. 
    This goes back to my taco argument.  If you put Kung Pao Chicken in a tortilla it's not a taco.  It's Kung pao chicken in a tortilla...

    Eating pizzas in other states that aren't known for their pies you will dabble in unconventional toppings. California is where I first ate "Hawaiian pizza".  The toppings made it edible as the whole ensemble that represented a pizza was horrible.
    you know that a Greek invented the Hawaiian pizza??.. ;)
    Pretty sure it was a Canadian who came up with the Hawaiian

    Is the costco membership worth it? I have gone off and on over the last 15 years.
    Definitely....for us.  And, when I lived in CA and they sold booze there it was Moreno.
    For me, it is the organic meat.  Can get chicken and bunch of ways....whole birds, breaststroke, drums, wings, thighs, and breasts.  3 packs of each....way (way) cheaper than in the store.  Same thing with beef, and the steaks are much better than anything other than Wegmans or Whole Foods as far as grocery store steaks.  (Butcher still rules)
    Same for frozen fruit and veg.

    For organic stuff the standard grocery has weak options,especially at bulk.  And Costco meat is quality.

    The impulse buys and 3 quart condiment jars are there if you like them.

    I fucking hate going there.  America, on fire.  Obese people pushing huge carts, blocking every other aisle so they can get free sample of food they shouldn't be eating.
    Value for the membership is awesome.

    Oh, and the hot dogs are still a steal on the way out.  $65 bucks is made back on the first trip vs buying what we eat at a normal store. 

    I go once every few months and load the freezer.

    I would probably join just for the hot dogs.

    Spinach on pizza is nice. I've also added eggs, raw and cooked. Isn't pizza something like a kitchen sink meal after all? Pickle pizza with artichokes and chicken is also fun.

    definitely...we love it

    $5 rotisserie chicken and some of the prepared meals (chicken tacos, stuffed peppers, shepards pie, etc.) are really convenient.

    yeah the people hovering around the samples like vultures drive me fucking crazy....it's like half of them think it's necessary to ask questions about the shit rather than just grab and go
