Nutrition Facts: Full Options
Below is a more detailed breakdown of the most popular dining calories, along with protein, carbs, and fat, drawing from in-store nutrition signage and commonly reported figures.
Pizza
A cheese pizza slice generally runs around 710 calories, with roughly 27 grams of fat, 78 grams of carbohydrates, and somewhere between 33 and 41 grams of protein depending on the source. A pepperoni slice is slightly lower in calories, around 650, with a similar carbohydrate count and around 34 grams of protein. A whole pizza scales up proportionally, since a standard pie is cut into 12 slices.
Hot Dog
The Kirkland Signature all-beef hot dog with bun, without the soda, comes in at around 580 calories, with roughly 34 grams of fat and between 20 and 24 grams of protein. Adding the fountain soda to make the full $1.50 combo pushes total calories noticeably higher, often into the 830 to 960 range, depending on which soda size and flavor you choose. Opting for the bottled water option instead of soda, available since April 2026, keeps the meal closer to the hot dog and bun’s standalone calorie count.
Salads
The Rotisserie Chicken Caesar Salad, fully dressed with croutons, generally lands between 650 and 710 calories, with protein ranging widely across different reports, from roughly 35 grams up to 57 grams depending on portion size and how the chicken is measured. Sodium is a genuine concern here too, often exceeding 2,000 milligrams once the dressing and parmesan are factored in.
Chicken Bake
The chicken bake is one of the more calorie-dense items on the menu, generally falling somewhere between 770 and 840 calories depending on the source, with a substantial 46 to 61 grams of protein and sodium that can reach as high as 2,650 milligrams, more than the full daily recommended limit in a single item.
Desserts
The Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie, which replaced the churro in 2024, comes in at roughly 750 calories per cookie, with a notable 65 grams of sugar, nearly double the American Heart Association’s recommended daily sugar limit for either men or women in a single dessert. The classic soft serve cup is comparatively lighter, generally a few hundred calories less than the cookie, while sundaes and specialty toppings add additional calories on top of the base soft serve.
Sandwiches
The newer sandwich lineup tends to be calorie-dense as well. The Chicken & Bacon Sandwich is generally the richest of the group, with some sources reporting figures as high as 920 calories and around 2,490 milligrams of sodium, while still delivering a strong 50 grams of protein. The Turkey & Swiss and Hot Turkey & Provolone sandwiches tend to run somewhat lower in calories, generally in the 650 to 740 range, while still offering 45 grams of protein or more.
Drinks and Lighter Items
The berry smoothie is one of the lighter options on the entire menu, generally falling between 220 and 330 calories with no added sugar, according to the company’s own description of the product. The açaí bowl, where available, is often cited as the single lowest-calorie substantial item on the menu, around 340 calories, though its availability has narrowed at many locations in recent years.
Allergen Information
If you are managing dining allergies, it helps to know which allergens commonly appear across the menu, along with where cross-contamination risk exists.
| Item Category | Common Allergens |
|---|---|
| Pizza (Cheese & Pepperoni) | Wheat, Milk, Soy |
| Hot Dog & Bun | Wheat (bun), Possible Soy |
| Chicken Bake | Wheat, Milk, Possible Soy |
| Sandwiches | Wheat, Milk, Egg (in some spreads) |
| Soft Serve, Sundaes, Cookie | Milk, Wheat (cookie, churro-topped items) |
| Cold Brew Mocha Freeze | Milk, Soy |
| Caesar Salad (with croutons) | Wheat (croutons), Milk (parmesan, dressing) |
Wheat, milk, and soy are the three most common allergens across the dining area, appearing in some form in the majority of items. Peanuts are not used as a standard ingredient in any core food court item, though this does not guarantee a peanut-free environment, since other products containing peanuts may be prepared in the same general kitchen area.
It is important to understand that all food court items are generally prepared in the same kitchen space, using shared equipment and prep surfaces. This means that even if a specific item’s ingredient list does not include a particular allergen, cross-contamination is always a possibility. If you have a severe allergy where even trace exposure is dangerous, the food court is generally not considered a safe option, regardless of which specific item you are considering.
For the most current and location-specific allergen details, ask a food court employee directly, since posted information can vary by location and ingredients can change over time.
Gluten-Free and Vegan Options
Gluten-Free Considerations
Dining Area does not offer dedicated gluten-free items, and the short answer for anyone with a serious gluten allergy or celiac disease is that the food court carries meaningful cross-contamination risk, since gluten-containing items like pizza dough, buns, and croutons are prepared in the same shared space as everything else.
That said, a few items are naturally gluten-free by ingredients, even if cross-contamination cannot be ruled out. These include the soft serve ice cream cups and sundaes (without any cookie or churro-based topping), the berry smoothie, and the açaí bowl where available. A hot dog ordered without the bun, served on its own, is also a reasonable option if you are simply trying to reduce gluten intake rather than strictly avoiding all exposure. Asking for a Caesar salad without croutons can also remove one of the more obvious sources of gluten from that item.
If your gluten sensitivity is mild and cross-contamination is not a major concern for you, these items give you a reasonable set of choices. If you have celiac disease or a severe gluten allergy, the shared prep environment means the dining is not a reliably safe choice, and you may want to eat beforehand or choose packaged grocery items elsewhere in the warehouse instead.
Vegan and Vegetarian Options
For vegetarians, the dining area actually offers a fairly solid lineup. The cheese pizza is a clear vegetarian choice, since it contains no meat, though it does contain dairy. Soft serve ice cream, sundaes, and the Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie are also vegetarian-friendly, again with dairy included.
For strict vegans, the options narrow considerably, since most of the options rely heavily on cheese and dairy-based sauces. The berry smoothie stands out as one of the few clearly vegan options, made from real fruit with no dairy or animal-derived ingredients. Depending on the location and current menu, a plant-based or fruit-based frozen drink may also qualify, though availability is not consistent across all warehouses.
Vegans visiting the items should expect a limited but workable selection, mainly centered on the smoothie, rather than a wide range of dedicated plant-based entrees. If a more substantial vegan meal is what you are after, it may be worth pairing a food court visit with a stop in the regular grocery aisles, where Costco carries a wider range of vegan products like plant-based proteins, dairy-free milks, and prepared vegan snacks.
Keto-Friendly Considerations
The dining area is not the easiest place to follow a strict keto or low-carb diet, as many of the available items are built around bread, pizza crust, and sugary desserts. Even so, a few simple modifications can make it easier to reduce your carbohydrate intake during your visit.
Ordering the Rotisserie Chicken Caesar Salad without croutons removes one of the more obvious carbohydrate sources while keeping the protein-rich chicken and cheese. Similarly, a hot dog ordered without the bun significantly cuts the carbohydrate count while preserving the protein. Beyond these two modifications, most other food court items, including the pizza, chicken bake, and sandwiches, are built around bread or dough and are difficult to make keto-compatible without removing a core part of the item.
If you are strictly following a keto diet, the dining area is generally not the best choice. You may find it easier to eat before or after your shopping trip instead.
Healthiest Items at the Dining Area
If you are trying to make a lighter choice without giving up the food court entirely, a few items consistently come up as the better picks.
The berry smoothie stands out as the lowest-calorie substantial item on the standard menu, generally in the 220 to 330 calorie range, made with real fruit and no added sugar.
The açaí bowl, where available, is another strong choice, offering a lower-calorie, nutrient-dense option, though it has been removed from many locations over the years and is no longer universally available.
The Rotisserie Chicken Caesar Salad, especially with the dressing reduced or served on the side and the croutons removed, offers one of the better protein-to-calorie ratios on the menu, even though the fully dressed version is not as light as many shoppers initially assume.
On the opposite end, items like the Chicken & Bacon Sandwich, the fully loaded chicken bake, and the Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie tend to be the most calorie- and sodium-dense choices, worth treating as occasional indulgences rather than regular picks if you are watching your overall intake closely.
A Note on Regional Menus
If you have searched for something like a specific city’s food court menu, such as a particular Canadian or international location, including searches like a Scarborough, Ontario, warehouse menu, it is worth knowing that nutrition facts can shift slightly based on regional ingredient sourcing and menu differences. Core items like pizza and the hot dog tend to stay nutritionally similar across most locations, but regional or limited-time items may not appear in standard nutrition databases at all, so checking in-store signage remains the most reliable method if you are visiting a location with a menu that differs from the standard United States lineup covered on this page.
Tracking Macros for Dining Items
If you are tracking macros rather than just total calories, a few patterns are worth knowing across the menu. Protein-to-calorie ratio is generally strongest in the chicken bake and the sandwiches, all of which deliver 45 grams of protein or more for their calorie count, making them reasonable picks if hitting a protein target matters more to you than staying under a specific calorie ceiling.
Carbohydrates are heavily concentrated in the bread- and dough-based items, the pizza, the hot dog bun, the chicken bake, and the sandwiches, all of which carry 40 grams of carbohydrates or more per serving. If you are managing carbohydrate intake closely, removing the bun from a hot dog or skipping croutons on the salad are the two simplest adjustments available at the counter.
Fat content tends to track closely with how much cheese or creamy dressing an item contains, with the chicken bake, pizza, and Caesar salad all landing in a comparable range due to their shared use of cheese as a primary ingredient. The Chicken & Bacon Sandwich, with its combination of bacon, cheese, and a creamy spread, tends to be the single highest-fat item on the standard menu.
For shoppers tracking macros closely, building your own combination, such as a hot dog without the bun paired with a side salad without croutons, gives you more control over the final numbers than ordering any single packaged combo item as-is.
Sodium: The Food Court’s Biggest Hidden Concern
While calories tend to get the most attention, sodium is arguably the more consistent issue across the entire Costco food court menu. Several items, including the chicken bake, the Chicken & Bacon Sandwich, and the fully dressed Caesar salad, can each individually approach or exceed 2,300 milligrams of sodium, which is the full daily recommended limit set by the American Heart Association for most adults.
This means a single dining item can provide more than the recommended daily sodium intake before you eat anything else that day. For most people who visit only occasionally, this is usually not a major concern, as these meals are often enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than an everyday choice. However, if you are managing high blood pressure, kidney disease, or following a sodium-restricted diet, it is important to choose carefully instead of assuming a lower-priced item is automatically a healthier option.
A few simple changes can help lower your sodium intake without avoiding the dining area altogether. Using only half of the dressing on a salad, skipping extra cheese when it is optional, and choosing water instead of a fountain drink can all reduce sodium without significantly changing your meal. Comparing nutrition between different items is also helpful. Where available, the berry smoothie and the açaí bowl are among the lowest-sodium dining options, making them good choices for anyone trying to limit sodium intake.
Calorie Comparison with Popular Fast Food Chains
It helps to compare these nutrition figures with those of typical fast food chains, as the portion sizes are generally much larger than standard fast food servings.
A chicken bake, at roughly 770 to 840 calories, carries close to double the calories of a typical fast food chicken sandwich, while costing about half as much. A pizza slice, at around 650 to 710 calories, is comparable to or higher than two slices from a typical national pizza delivery chain, since slices are cut larger and use a generous amount of cheese.
This pattern applies to many of the available items. The calorie content is often 1.5 to 2 times higher than a comparable fast food meal, mainly because the portion sizes are much larger rather than because of major differences in ingredients. If you assume the lower prices mean smaller or lighter servings, the opposite is usually true. You are getting a larger portion, and the higher calorie count reflects that.
This comparison can help if you are planning a meal while staying within a specific calorie goal. It is best to think of a single dining item—especially pizza, a chicken bake, or one of the $6.99 sandwiches—as a full meal rather than a light snack. Doing so provides a more realistic estimate of your total calorie intake for the day.
Practical Strategies for Eating Lighter While Dining
If you want to enjoy the Costco food court without overdoing it on calories or sodium, a few simple strategies can help.
Splitting a single item between two people is one of the easiest ways to cut your intake in half without giving up the food entirely. A whole pizza, a chicken bake, or one of the larger sandwiches is all generous enough that sharing still leaves you reasonably full.
Modifying your order at the counter, such as asking for dressing on the side, skipping croutons, or ordering a hot dog without the bun, can meaningfully reduce calories, carbohydrates, or sodium without requiring you to choose a completely different item.
Pairing a heavier main item with a lighter drink choice, such as water or the new bottled water option, with the hot dog combo instead of a fountain soda, removes a meaningful chunk of sugar and calories from your total without changing the meal itself.
Saving dessert for another day is another simple way to keep your calorie intake lower. Since many of the main dining items are already high in calories, adding a sundae or a Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie can significantly increase the total calories in your meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Final Thoughts
The Costco food court was never designed around health-focused eating, and most of its best-known items, the pizza, the hot dog, and the chicken bake, are calorie-dense and high in sodium by design. That said, the menu does include a handful of genuinely lighter choices, especially the berry smoothie and the Rotisserie Chicken Caesar Salad when ordered thoughtfully, giving health-conscious shoppers a reasonable path through the menu without giving up the food court experience entirely.
