Costco Food Court — Review by Delish
Not specified, United States — American fast food / food court
The reviewers explored every item at the Costco food court and were impressed by several standout offerings. The calzone, chicken bake, and hot dog emerged as must-try items, with the latter offering exceptional value at $1.50 including a drink. While some items like the pizza and turkey sandwich fell short, the overall experience was positive with clear favorites identified.
What was great: The calzone with thick crust and meaty filling, the chicken bake with chicken, bacon, and Caesar dressing, the hot dog with relish and mustard, the strawberry sundae, and the exceptional value of the $1.50 hot dog combo
What could improve: The pizza crust being soggy from grease, the turkey provolone sandwich being underwhelming with off-putting tomato and pesto, and the hot dog bun could benefit from being a potato bun instead
The Dishes
The team sampled an impressive array of Costco food court offerings. The pizza arrived on a soggy plate due to its greasiness, dominated by an insanely thick layer of cheese with a cheese-to-crust ratio that one reviewer argued was two-to-one. The primary flavor profile was overwhelmingly cheese-forward. The turkey provolone sandwich disappointed, with the tomato and pesto flavors thrown off by the reviewer's personal dislike of tomato. However, the calzone proved exceptional, described as tasting like a DiGiorno supreme pizza meets what your dad would make but in calzone form. It featured spicy, saucy, meaty filling with peppers and a thick crust that complemented rather than overpowered the contents. The standout item was the chicken bake with chicken, bacon, and Caesar dressing, which one reviewer called to-die-for and threatened would lose Costco members if removed from the menu. The hot dog with relish and mustard was surprisingly flavorful despite its thin bun, which could have been improved with a potato bun. The strawberry sundae also impressed.
The Experience
The food court maintained a casual, quick-service atmosphere typical of Costco. The reviewers moved through sampling items with enthusiasm and commentary, creating an engaging experience for viewers. The energy was high and positive, with genuine excitement about revisiting childhood favorites.
Value & Pricing
The pricing was exceptional, particularly the hot dog combo which included a drink for just $1.50. The overall value proposition made the food court highly attractive for budget-conscious shoppers seeking quality items.
Notable Moments
If this was the Eucharist, maybe I'd go to church.
Like a DiGiorno supreme pizza your dad would make but in a calzone.
Eighth wonder of the world right there. Chicken bake till I die.
The reviewers expressed almost spiritual reverence for the chicken bake and calzone, treating them as exceptional food court achievements.
The Verdict
The Costco food court delivered impressive results with clear standout items. The calzone, chicken bake, and strawberry sundae were definitively recommended as must-try items. This food court is ideal for Costco members seeking satisfying, affordable meals without compromising on flavor, especially if you appreciate nostalgic, indulgent comfort food options.
