- What toppings on the pizza did you get?
- Cheese, we went--
- Cheese? - Vegetarian, yeah.
- I wasn't consulted in this.
What the (beeps) Patrick?
(light playful music)
All right, so now that we have
so much free time in our hands,
we're gonna be trying some of America's
favorite places to grab a quick bite.
- These places have huge fan followings, which is weird.
A furniture and bulk store, people love the food
that they're making in the kitchens there,
which is kind of surprising.
(playful music)
- [Fernando] When was the last time you ate here?
- [Patrick] Never, I've never eaten here.
- [Fernando] You've never?
You've never had Costco pizza?
- Mm-mm.
We'll have one slice of pizza, one hot-dog--
- [Employee] What kind of pizza would you like?
- Cheese, and a twisted churro.
- Oh (beeps), this is cheap!
(Fernando gasps) - Yeah dude!
Only $5!
It's eight cents under $5.
- So we got a churro, a pizza.
What toppings on the pizza did you get?
- Cheese, we went--
- Cheese? - Vegetarian, yeah.
- I wasn't consulted in this.
What the (beeps), Patrick?
- Cheese is enough, dude! - Cheese is not enough.
- Go to Italy and tell me it's not enough.
- I've been to Italy, and I had toppings.
- Where'd you get pizza from, dude?
- Rome.
(playful orchestral music)
- Stadium dog.
Classic stadium dog.
- This is actually better than a lot of hotdogs I've had,
for more money.
If you are gonna bring a date to Costco,
this is how you gotta be eating it.
(playful orchestral music)
You don't like it?
- It reminds me of gas station pizza.
And I like gas station pizza,
but it does remind me of gas station pizza.
- Maybe if you had a (beeps) topping, it would be better.
I like their pizza, it's good.
(playful orchestral music)
One to five, as far as food, I give it a 4.5.
- I'll give the taste a three.
This is like a okay, cheap, questionable food.
There's other places where I would be like--
- No, this is good!
- Eh. - What?
Name a better place!
- 7/11.
- No! (laughs)
You got me (beeps) up.
That is disrespectful to Costco.
- Ordering was so easy and simple and fast.
I mean.
- Just pull up, order, swipe your card,
and they hand you the food.
- [Patrick] It's really nuts how they do it here.
- [Fernando] A quick experience.
- I give this experience a five.
- I give this parking lot restaurant
a four star on ambiance and experience.
The table had mustard when we sat down,
but that's totally fine because you're just quick on the go.
- The value on this was insane!
- [Both] Five!
- Less than $5 for all this stuff?
It's a five! - Absolutely.
If I have kids, I will bring them here,
go inside, do my grocery shopping without them,
buy them $20 worth of pizza.
- You're just gonna leave your kids out here? (laughs)
You're gonna leave!
- Listen, okay, maybe I won't leave them.
I'll give them a phone.
(playful music)
For presentation, the ambience,
it's much better here, I feel like.
- [Patrick] Yeah, this is like, this rules!
Yeah, I love the wood aesthetic.
It's much more like homey kitchen.
I wanna sit and have something that grandma made for me.
- We'll go to town with the classic: The Swedish meatballs.
Cheers! - Ugh.
That was really good.
Yeah, that was really nice.
- First impression.
This smells (beeps).
You haven't done a taste test in a long time, huh?
It's been a whole month since you haven't been at Buzzfeed
and you forgot.
- They're good!
These are-- (laughs)
Yeah, these are the good ones.
- Yeah?
- Mm-hm.
Really crunchy and flakey on the outside.
It's nice!
- [Fernando] You're on a diet, right?
- Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
- So this has to be really good
in order for you to really think
it's worth breaking your diet?
- Yeah, totally.
- Mm!
Mm-hmm.
That's good!
- Mm-hm. - Mm!
- It's good! - Yeah, that's good.
- Mm-hm.
Are these little nuts on top?
- Mm-hmm. - I'm into that.
- Food, pretty good.
I'll give it a four.
- This I will give a 4.5 as well.
I think they're both equally good
in different spectrums of where you wanna get food.
I just gotta say that from the moment we walked in,
the ambiance is definitely an improvement.
- Yeah.
Look, was it a little tedious?
Yeah.
Waiting in the line, going down different stations,
not my favorite way to order to be honest with you.
But--
- It was one person in front of us.
- It reminded me of eating at Disneyland
which is a stressful experience.
- Oh, yeah.
From one to five, what would you give IKEA
as far as the experience and the ambiance?
- I would say a 4 1/2.
- I would give it a five.
I think it's a lot cleaner. - Big time.
- It's less loud, 'cause we're not in a parking lot.
- [Patrick] Obviously with one plate,
we're already spending more than what we spent
for three different options at Costco,
but you got protein, you got your vegetables,
you got a little carb, starch there.
It's more or less a well-rounded meal.
- Yeah, I think in value, this for $6.99, this is cool.
- I think the value, I'll give it a 3 1/2.
- 3 1/2.
I give it a four for value.
The other thing that would make my value go up
is if I got more sauces to go with my chicken tenders.
Even though I do think IKEA's food
was a little bit better and the ambiance was better,
I think I like Costco better because it delivered
on the premise of quick and cheap.
And eating in a parking lot, I kind of like that.
- Yeah, it crushed.
They were both really good.
- They're both great.
- [Producer] End with a hug?
(playful music)
- Oh!
(playful music)
Nothing better than cheap food
when you're unemployed, right?
(bright playful music)
