Costco pizza is so underrated and delicious!
Compared to ALL of their famous delivery competitors, Costco Pizza stands atop the quick-fix throne.
For $9.95, you get an 18” pizza, while most competitors offer a 16” at $15.00 and up.
It is the bargain of bargains – and delicious too!
How much is a Costco Pizza?
Costco pizza is $9.95 for an 18” pizza.
It is the same price for both cheese or pepperoni.
You can also get half cheese & half pepperoni as well!
How many slices are in a Costco Pizza?
There are 12 slices on an 18″ Costco pizza.
However, you can ask the Costco Food Court to double slice the pizza which will get you 24 small pieces or square cut as well.
If you order a single slice only, you’ll get a “double slice” or roughly ⅙ of a pizza.
How many calories are in a Costco Pizza?
A slice of Costco cheese pizza has 710 calories, while a slice of pepperoni has 650 calories.
Please note that slice sizes are larger when ordering a single slice vs a whole pizza.
Ordering a Costco Pizza
Did you know that you can order Costco Pizza ahead of time?
While there is no way to order online (as of writing), it is simple enough to call your local Costco:
- Cycle through the options (for our store it is option 5, and then 3 to get to the food court)
- Once the food court answers, you’ll make your order over the phone.
- You’ll tell the person your name, number, order, and pickup time.
- Once you arrive at Costco, you’ll want to go to a dedicated kiosk, punch in your order, and select “phone order.”
- Pay for your order and pick up at the counter when ready.
I’ve never had a problem ordering Costco pizza, and our school has even ordered 50 pizzas and had them all done in a reasonable time frame. Amazing!
Costco Pizza vs Competitors
To keep things on an even keel, we’ll only compare pickup orders.
Costco doesn’t deliver and doesn’t allow delivery apps like Postmates, UberEats or Doordash
| Competitor | Largest Size | Slices | Cost |
| Dominos | 16″ | 8-10 | $16.99 |
| Papa John’s | 16″ | 8-10 | $19.99 |
| Pizza Hut | 16″ | 8-10 | $16.99 |
| Costco | 18″ | 12 | $9.95 |
Clearly, Costco wins here by offering the biggest pizza at the lowest cost.
Not only that, Costco pizza has great flavor.
Of course, people’s opinion of which brand is best is up for debate, but in my mind there is no better go-to Pizza meal if you have time to swing by and pick up a pizza from Costco.
