Costco's Massive 4-Berry Pie Is Enough To Feed An Entire Summertime Party
Costco is a grocery store chain that personifies the saying "bigger is better." As a warehouse retailer, Costco is known for its bulk items, which help shoppers stock up on essential home goods while also saving a bit of money. The store is also beloved for its bakery, which features a variety of fresh-baked goods to ensure your sweet tooth is satisfied. Along with 12-count muffins the size of your head and massive sheet cakes said to serve up to 40 people, Costco has also introduced a new, equally impressive baked good perfect for summertime. Now shoppers can pick up a four-berry pie that's truly not for the faint of heart.
Berry pies personify the warm weather months, and Costco's latest baked good is no exception. This pie is replete with an assortment of berries, including cranberries, strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. You can't beat such a winning combination of flavorful fruit, but there's something far more intriguing about this pie. In fact, you might say that its substantial size is truly the most impressive feature of the chain's new pie.

In addition to the perfect selection of berries in Costco's latest bakery offering, as well as the use of the chain's popular apple pie crust, the new pie is also turning heads due to its massive size. This pie weighs a whopping five pounds, which means it's suitable for feeding a number of people at your next party or gathering. Additionally, the pie retails for $18.99, which might seem a touch expensive if that small fee didn't get you a pie that's roughly the weight of a full-grown Chihuahua.
While many shoppers are highly pleased with the size of Costco's four-berry pie, others sadly lament that it's simply too much pie for them to handle. Some even wonder why the chain doesn't sell pie slices in their food court, which would surely sell like hotcakes (or slices of pie, as it were). For more Costco customer insight, we turn to a TikTok video that showcases the chain's brand-new pie in all its glory.
Costco's new pie is hotly debated among customers
The TikTok video dedicated to Costco's substantial four-berry pie is definitely getting noticed on the site. In the short clip, the size of the pie is hard to ignore, and the baked good appears to be packaged in a reinforced plastic dish to handle its massive heft. In terms of the quality, the crust offers the perfect amount of texture, and the deep purple interior of the pie promises a fruit-forward berry medley.
While it's abundantly clear what the poster of the video feels about the pie (which is best eaten warm and topped with ice cream, according to the caption), many commenters are put off by the price. Another expresses dismay that the pie includes cranberries instead of a more common selection, such as blackberries. And of course, many people find fault with the sheer size of the pie, which can definitely be daunting if you're not planning on feeding a small army.
