The Costco food court menu is short. Twenty-one priced items, no drive-thru, no app ordering, and a pricing logic that has almost nothing to do with how a restaurant sets its menu. That logic is the actual story here, and it's what the rest of this page works through.

Item prices
How much is the Costco hot dog combo?
$1.50. That buys a quarter-pound all-beef hot dog and a 20 oz fountain drink with free refills, and it has stayed at that price for years while nearly everything else on the menu has moved. The Polish sausage combo is priced identically at $1.50.
How much is a whole pizza at the Costco food court?
$12.99 for an 18-inch pizza cut into 6 slices, in either cheese or pepperoni. That's the single most expensive line on the menu.
How much is a Costco pizza slice?
$2.59 for one slice, cheese or pepperoni. Buy six of them separately and you'll pay more than the whole pie costs, which is the calculation in the next section.
What is the cheapest item on the Costco food court menu?
Gravy, at $0.30, is the lowest price on the menu, though it's an add-on to poutine rather than something you'd order by itself. For a standalone item, bottled water at $0.35 is the cheapest thing you can buy and walk away with.
The pizza math: whole pie versus individual slices
This is the one number on this menu worth doing arithmetic on before you order.
A whole 18-inch pizza costs $12.99 and yields 6 slices, which works out to $2.165 a slice, rounded up to $2.17. A single slice bought on its own costs $2.59. Buy all 6 slices individually instead of ordering the whole pizza and you'd pay $15.54, which is $2.55 more than the whole pie costs. Per slice, that's a saving of roughly $0.43, or about 16 percent, every time you buy whole instead of by the slice.
The break-even point is 5 slices. Five individual slices cost $12.95, just 4 cents short of the whole pizza's $12.99. Order a sixth slice and the whole pie becomes strictly cheaper. In practice, this means the only scenario where buying by the slice makes sense is a party of one, two, or maybe three people who genuinely won't finish 6 slices.
The hot dog combo runs a smaller version of the same logic, though the menu doesn't give a standalone hot dog price to compare against. What it does give is the drink price: $0.89 for a 20 oz fountain drink on its own. Subtract that from the $1.50 combo price and the hot dog itself is effectively priced at $0.61 within the bundle. I can't confirm that against a solo hot dog price because Costco doesn't sell one, but it tells you how thin the margin is on that combo. Costco isn't discounting a hot dog against a competitor's hot dog. It's pricing the whole thing as a loss leader for the membership, not as a food item competing on food economics.
How Costco's food court prices compare to fast food
I checked the posted price for a Big Mac at a McDonald's location in Toronto on August 6, 2026: $8.39 for the sandwich alone, no combo. That's the only outside price on this page, and it's here because it puts Costco's numbers in a frame most people already understand.
$8.39 buys 5 hot dog combos at Costco, with $0.89 left over, which is exactly the price of one more fountain drink. Put another way, one Big Mac costs as much as 5 hot dogs, 5 drinks, and a sixth drink on the side.
Costco's chicken strips and fries, at $7.99, cost 40 cents less than that single McDonald's Big Mac sandwich, and the Costco version comes with fries included. The whole pizza, at $12.99, costs $4.60 more than the Big Mac, but it feeds up to 6 people instead of 1.
None of this means Costco food court items are directly comparable to a Big Mac in ingredients or portion. It means the food court isn't priced against other food courts or drive-thrus at all. It's priced against almost nothing.
Why prices vary by Costco warehouse
Costco's own guidance is that food court prices and item availability can vary by warehouse, and the record backs that up. Older Canadian listings I've cross-checked show a different lineup and different prices than the current one: poutine has moved from $5.99 to $6.99, and chicken strips and fries have moved from $6.99 to $7.99, based on the most recent update I could confirm, dated July 2026. Older listings also included items that don't appear on the current menu I'm tracking, among them seafood chowder, a turkey-and-provolone sandwich, chicken wings, cappuccino, and café latte.
I haven't confirmed which specific Canadian warehouses still carry those discontinued items, if any do. If your local Costco has one of them on the board, that's a location-specific holdout, not something I can price for you here. The safest approach if you're planning around a specific item is to check the board at your own warehouse before you go, especially for anything outside the core hot dog, pizza, and poutine lineup.
Membership: do you need one to buy at the food court?
I haven't verified Costco Canada's current membership requirement for food court purchases, and I'm not going to guess at it. Access rules for Costco food courts have changed more than once over the years and have not always been consistent across the country, so stating a rule here without a source to back it up would be worse than saying nothing. If you're not a member and you're planning a food court visit specifically, call your local warehouse first and confirm before you go. I'll update this section the moment I can confirm the current national policy from a source I trust.
What is new on the Costco Canada food court menu?
The core lineup, hot dogs, pizza, poutine, fries, sundaes, and cones, has held steady. The changes I can confirm are on price, not on new items: poutine rose from $5.99 to $6.99, and chicken strips and fries rose from $6.99 to $7.99, between the older listing I have on file and the July 2026 update. I don't have a source confirming any brand-new item added to the Canadian food court menu recently, so I'm not going to invent one. This page tracks the current lineup as verified, and it'll get a note the moment a genuinely new item shows up with a price attached.
