Costco shoppers may want to start backstocking their home freezers with pizza. Rumor has it that Milton's Thin & Crispy Cauliflower Crust pizza may soon be leaving stores, at least in the form that shoppers know and love today.
A Costco shopper recently posted on Reddit that they spotted the fan-favorite pizza brand marked with the so-called death star, or an asterisk, on its pricing label.
The asterisk often signifies that the product will not be reordered once the supplies run out, but some insiders say it's not always as grim.
The symbol may mean that only this specific Costco store isn't restocking the item due to low sales, or that the company is making a small tweak to the product.
For example, the pizza may be due for updated packaging or stock, or Costco may end up stocking different flavors of Milton's Cauliflower pies.
Additionally, the gluten-free pizza could just be benched temporarily, to create space for seasonal items and will return at a later time.
If Milton's is your absolute favorite, you'll be happy to know the four flavors of their cauliflower crust pizza—Four Cheese, Roasted Vegetable, Pepperoni, and Margherita—are available at supermarkets nationwide.
Even if Milton's soon disappears from Costco's freezer case forever, there are alternatives. Costco's house brand, Kirkland, offers frozen cauliflower crust pizza—and one that some say is even better.
