Quick answer: The Costco food court menu is short and cheap: the $1.50 hot dog combo, a $1.99 pizza slice or a $9.95 whole 18-inch pizza, the $3.99 chicken bake, $6.99 sandwiches and chicken strips, salads, and desserts and drinks from $1.49 to $2.99. You need a Costco membership to order, and nothing is sold online.

Costco doesn't publish food court prices online, so this list combines two trackers: prices from Costco Guides (updated November 4, 2026) and calories from Club Food Court (August 2026). Prices are nearly the same at every U.S. warehouse; the soda is the one that differs.

More on the two most-ordered items: Costco pizza prices and how to order a whole pie and the Costco chicken bake, with a copycat recipe.

The $1.50 Costco hot dog combo

  • What you get

    A quarter-pound Kirkland Signature all-beef hot dog and a 20 oz fountain soda with refills. Since spring 2026 you can take a bottle of water instead.

  • Price

    $1.50, unchanged since the 1980s. When Costco raised the chicken bake and the soda by themselves in 2022, the combo stayed at $1.50.

  • Calories

    About 580 for the hot dog, about 850 with the soda (Club Food Court). Toppings are extra.

  • Toppings

    Self-serve at the condiment station; some warehouses still have the hand-crank onion machine.

  • The soda

    Coca-Cola since summer 2025, when Costco switched from Pepsi (Costco Guides).

What a Costco food court meal costs

Totals worked out from the prices above, before any sales tax.

ForOrderTotal
Lunch for oneHot dog combo$1.50
Lunch and dessertHot dog combo, ice cream cup$3.49
Two peopleTwo hot dog combos, two pizza slices$6.98
Family of fourWhole pizza, four sodas$12.71 ($13.11 where soda is 79¢)

A whole pizza isn't much cheaper per bite than slices: a $1.99 slice is cut from a six-slice pie, so it's twice the size of a slice from a $9.95 whole pie cut in 12. The whole pie wins on convenience for a group.

Ordering, membership and hours

  • How to order: most food courts use self-serve touchscreen kiosks; you pay there and pick up at the counter when your number is called.
  • Membership: required since April 8, 2024. Some warehouses scan your card at the food court too.
  • Whole pizzas: call your warehouse's food court to order ahead, then pick it up on the way out. There's no online or app ordering.
  • Hours: the food court keeps the warehouse's hours, so it's closed when Costco is, including Thanksgiving Day. Costco holiday hours for 2026.
