Costco Food Court prices stay the same at every US warehouse. Only sales tax changes by state. Buying anything at the counter requires an active Costco membership card, checked the same way it is at the front door. The Costco Food Court menu runs from hot dogs and pizza through salads, desserts and drinks.
The Hot Dog Combo anchors the whole board at $1.50, a price Costco has held since the mid-1980s. The Costco Food Court menu splits into five sections: hot dogs, pizza, salads, desserts and drinks, each priced and sized on its own.
The short answer
Costco Food Court prices the 1/4 lb Hot Dog Combo at $1.50 and the Chicken Bake at $3.99. Pizza slices, a Caesar salad, desserts and drinks fill out the rest of the board. Every price holds nationwide, and a membership card is required to order at the counter.

Costco Food Court Menu Prices and Calories
The Costco Food Court menu spans five sections. Hot dogs and sandwiches, pizza, sides and salads, desserts and drinks each fill their own. A membership card is required to order any of it, and the same figures apply from a Seattle warehouse to one in Miami.
Costco Food Court Hot Dogs and Sandwiches
The 1/4 lb Hot Dog Combo pairs a quarter-pound hot dog with a 20 oz drink, a combination Costco has sold since the mid-1980s. Kirkland Signature supplies the hot dog itself, made at plants Costco built after dropping an outside supplier in 2009. Chicken Bake wraps chicken, bacon and cheese inside pizza dough, assembled fresh at each warehouse rather than shipped in from a central kitchen. Both turn up reworked in a few off-menu builds regulars order by description.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1/4 lb Hot Dog Combo | 850 | $1.50 |
| Chicken Bake | 840 | $3.99 |
Costco Food Court Pizza
Cheese and Pepperoni both come by the slice, cut from pies baked throughout the day rather than held under a heat lamp. Both carry the same calorie count, since the crust and cheese base stay identical between the two toppings. Dough ships in daily from an outside bakery and gets finished by hand inside each warehouse. It is one of five sections on the Costco Food Court menu.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Cheese Pizza Slice | 710 | $1.99 |
| Pepperoni Pizza Slice | 710 | $1.99 |
Costco Food Court Sides and Salads
Rotisserie Chicken Caesar Salad builds on the same rotisserie chicken sold in the warehouse aisles, shredded over romaine with dressing and croutons. That shared ingredient is one of the food court’s few direct ties to the retail floor. It is the only salad on the current board. Protein runs high for a food-court dish, at 57 grams per serving.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Rotisserie Chicken Caesar Salad | 710 | $6.99 |
Costco Food Court Desserts
Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie replaced the food court’s long-running churro on the dessert list in January 2024, baked fresh rather than fried to order. Ice Cream Sundae layers soft serve with toppings in a single cup, the only frozen dessert on the current board. Both desserts run under 800 calories, closer together than the hot dog and pizza sections.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie | 750 | $2.49 |
| Ice Cream Sundae | 650 | $2.49 |
Costco Food Court Drinks
Cold Brew Mocha Freeze blends coffee with soft serve into a frozen drink, the richer of the two options by calorie count. Strawberry Banana Smoothie runs the lightest item on the Costco Food Court menu, built from real fruit rather than a syrup base. Both come in the same 16 oz cup size at the drink station. Regulars combine the two into off-menu drink builds covered separately.
| Item | Calories | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Cold Brew Mocha Freeze | 580 | $2.99 |
| Strawberry Banana Smoothie | 230 | $2.99 |
Costco Food Court Hours
Costco Food Court hours track the warehouse around it. The counter opens and closes at the same time as the main doors. Weekday hours commonly run from 10:00 AM to 8:30 PM, with Saturday closing earlier and Sunday shorter still. A handful of warehouses stay open later or shut down sooner, so hours shift by location.
| Day | Typical hours |
|---|---|
| Monday | 10:00 AM – 8:30 PM |
| Tuesday | 10:00 AM – 8:30 PM |
| Wednesday | 10:00 AM – 8:30 PM |

| Friday | 10:00 AM – 8:30 PM |
| Saturday | 9:30 AM – 7:00 PM |
| Sunday | 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM |
Costco Food Court Locations
Costco Food Court operates inside roughly 655 US warehouses. Most sit behind the membership check at the front door, run by Costco Food Court staff rather than a franchisee. Eighteen locations instead serve from an outdoor walk-up window separate from the main entrance. Costco began requiring a membership card at every outdoor window on April 8, 2024, closing a gap that had let some non-members buy there.
| Format | What it means |
|---|---|
| Indoor food court | Behind the membership check at the main entrance, at most US warehouses |
| Outdoor walk-up window | A separate street-facing counter at 18 locations, membership required since April 2024 |
| Total US warehouses | Roughly 655 nationwide |
| Menu and pricing | Identical nationwide; only local sales tax changes the total |
What to Expect Inside a Costco Food Court
A single counter handles ordering, payment and pickup at most locations. A self-serve fountain and condiment bar sit just past the register. Staff assemble each hot dog, pizza slice or salad to order, rather than holding pre-made trays under a heat lamp. Seating runs to plain tables near the counter, indoors at most warehouses and outdoors at the eighteen walk-up locations.
