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.

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.

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.
