From classic favorites to new additions, there’s plenty to love — and most items cost under $4! We’re sharing five top picks from the menu, plus the brand-new Combo Calzone for just $6.99, which is already turning heads.

*Note that pricing and availability may vary by region.


Take a slice of something new – the Combo Calzone is calling!

This new menu option is gaining popularity, and fast, all thanks to its tasty lineup of classic combo pizza ingredients: pepperoni, sausage, cheese, tomato sauce, onions, peppers, olives, and mushrooms.


5 of the best Costco Food Court Items Under $4:


1. All Beef 1/4-lb Hot Dog and 20oz Soda

  • $1.50

Not only is this the most popular option on the menu, but it’s also been on the Costco food court menu for the same $1.50 price since 1984! Considering you can barely get a soda at a restaurant for under $2 these days, getting a giant hot dog and a large soda for under $2 is pretty hard to beat!


2. Giant Slice of Pizza

  • $1.99/slice

Everything’s bigger at Costco, including their slice of pizza! Costco’s popular pizza was first introduced in 1989 and hasn’t changed in price for over 30 years. For just $1.99 per slice, you can order a huge slice of cheese, pepperoni, or combo pizza that barely fits on a plate. Each pizza is made with chewy artisan dough, a thick slathering of U.S.-grown tomatoes, aged, buttery cheeses, and 10-month-aged shredded Parmesan cheese.


3. Chicken Bake

  • $3.99

Chicken Bakes are a staple on the Costco food court menu. Though the price was recently raised to $3.99, they are still a customer favorite!

However, it’s important to note that the Chicken Bakes aren’t the same as those in the freezer section. The food court Chicken Bakes are made from fresh ingredients, including chicken breast, cheese, bacon, and Caesar dressing wrapped up in leftover pizza dough.


4. Ice Cream Cups & Sundaes

5. Cold-Brew & Smoothie Drinks

These delicious beverages are under $3 apiece and are great to enjoy while shopping around the store!

What are the Costco food court hours?

Cheers to the Costco food courts being back open! You can enjoy all the food court has to offer during their open store hours Monday through Friday 10 AM – 8:30 PM, Saturday 9:30 AM – 6 PM, and Sunday 10 AM – 6 PM. However, most Costco locations list their store phone number under the Food Court section of their location’s website, so you may want to call ahead to confirm your local Costco’s exact food court hours.
