Costco Pizza Menu

Currently, there are two choices for pizza on the Menu at the Costco Food Court…Cheese or Pepperoni. While many Costco members have tried to persuade the company to bring back the combo pizza to the Costco Food Court., to date, that hasn’t happened. The current menu (as of Summer 2024) is still just Cheese or Pepperoni.

How Much Does Pizza Cost at Costco Food Court?

Whole pizzas at Costco Food Court are 18″ pizzas. Prices have stayed the same for many years, and in 2024, each one costs $9.95 and it’s the same price for cheese or pepperoni. That’s right, there is no additional charge for pepperoni topping at Costco!

My Review of Costco Pizza from the Food Court

I personally grew up on and prefer thin crust pizza, and I like mine well done (like when you think it’s well done, put it back in and burn it crispy kind of well done) so in all honesty it’s not my first choice for pizza night. That said, I can still happily eat a slice, it’s definitely good pizza even if it’s not my first choice of pizza styles. My kids prefer thicker crust pizza, and they LOVE it. The crust, sauce and cheese are all crowd pleasers.

We’ve used the Costco pizzas to resell at fundraisers and it’s a hit – not only does everyone love it but it’s super affordable to buy – and we can resell it for a hefty price because each slice is HUGE! I recommend considering it as an option for school, church or other fundraisers.

For thinner crust pizza at a great price point, I would suggest the Kirkland Signature frozen pepperoni pizza for convenience and a great price point. It’s quite good for a frozen pizza!

How Many Slices are in a Whole Pizza from Costco Food Court?

Each 18″ Whole Pizza from the Costco Food Court has 6 slices.

The whole pizzas at Costco are cut into very large slices, they are the same size as the slices you buy individually when you order single slices from the Food Court.

If you haven’t ordered a slice from the food court, below the slice is on a standard dinner sized paper plate. As you can see, these slices are not comparable to the type of pizza slices you would get for regular pizza delivery – they are almost twice the size of the regular slice of a pizza from Dominos pizza or similar. You could double cut them at home and get 12 slices in a pizza – or triple cut them to make them “kiddie cut” for a little kids birthday party.

Costco Food Court Pizza - The Complete Guide | 2023 (4)

Although the food court doesn’t officially offer the service of “double cutting” or “kiddie cut” you can request it and many food court employees will accommodate that request (just be prepared they say no, especially if it’s busy). If you don’t have a pizza cutter I find scissors are a good option for doing it quickly at home if you don’t have a gigantic knife or need to get it done in a park for a party and the knife thing is too difficult.

How Many Calories are in Costco Pizza?

Each slice of Costco Cheese Pizza has 710 calories and each slice of Costco Pepperoni Pizza has 650 calories.

Each whole cheese pizza has 4,260 calories and each whole pepperoni pizza has 3,880 calories.

How many Weight Watchers Points is that? Just kidding. I don’t even want to know, lol!!

Do I need a Costco Membership to Buy Pizza from the Food Court?

Yes. You’ll need a Costco Membership to purchase food from the Costco Food Court, including the pizza.

Can I Pre-Order Whole Pizzas from the Costco Food Court?

Yes! You can call your pizza orders into your local Costco food court so they’re all made when you arrive! See linked post if you need to help finding the food court phone number for your local Costco warehouse.

Or use the Costco directory [on Costco’s site].

Currently, you cannot order Food Court Costco Pizza online or order it for delivery via any third party delivery services like Postmates, Uber Eats, etc.

Online Pizza Ordering From Costco Food Court: Although it’s currently not available, over the past 9 months Costco has migrated it’s food courts to a digital kiosk ordering and pick-up window system which I believe is paving the way for eventual integration with online ordering – so keep your eye out for this I think we can expect to see this incoming soon! Pizza Delivery in the US is a multi billion dollar industry and I think we’re going to see Costco taking a share of that business soon.

Is the Pizza at the Costco Food Court Good?

Costco Members overwhelmingly love the pizza at Costco. You won’t find many haters.

The crust on Costco Food Court pizza is on the thicker side, which may be good or bad news for you depending on your pizza crust preferences…but no doubt, the Costco Food Court pizza is good and it’s even better when you consider the price point!

Can I use an EBT Card to Buy Pizza from the Costco Food Court?

It varies from State to State whether you can buy pizza from the Food Court using an EBT benefits card because some States restrict purchasing warm/hot food for immediate consumption – a reader recently updated us that it’s allowed and we did find that Cal Fresh (we’re California based) has temporarily allowed hot food purchases (through Feb 2024, though we wonder if that will be extended?). We’re looking into it for more States, but if you know your State does or doesn’t allow hot food purchases…that’s most likely the answer on whether you can use your EBT at the Food Court for pizza (same likely for rotisserie chicken).

If you have recently purchased Costco food court pizza with an EBT card PLEASE drop a note in the comments – and what state you’re in – as EBT rules can vary slightly from state to state. You can definitely use an EBT card to purchase frozen pizza or pizza crust kits inside Costco though!
