Delish editors conducted a taste test of various pizzas sold at Costco, including the popular food court slices as well as frozen options from the warehouse's freezer aisle. The Costco food court pizza was named the overall best, praised for its soft, pillowy crust and perfectly melted cheese. Other standouts included the Detroit-style deep dish from Motor City Pizza Co. and the Neapolitan-style pie from Antico Casa.

Why it matters

Costco is one of the largest pizza sellers in the United States, with the company breaking its own single-day sales record last year by selling 358,000 pies. While the food court slices are a well-known Costco staple, the warehouse also offers a variety of frozen pizza options that are worth exploring for members looking to enjoy Costco-quality pizza at home.

The details

Delish editors tasted a wide range of pizzas available at Costco locations in the New York City area, including the classic food court slices as well as frozen options from brands like Motor City Pizza Co., Antico Casa, and Kirkland Signature. The food court pizza was praised for its soft, pillowy crust and perfectly melted cheese, capturing the nostalgic appeal of childhood pizza party slices. The Motor City Pizza Co. Detroit-style deep dish was singled out for its crispy, caramelized cheese edges and substantial yet not-too-heavy crust. The Neapolitan-style pie from Antico Casa impressed with its beautifully charred, crispy-edged crust and high-quality toppings. Kirkland Signature's cauliflower crust pizza also earned praise from the team of cauliflower crust skeptics.

  • Last year, Costco broke its own record by selling 358,000 pizzas in a single day.
  • The Delish editors conducted their taste test in early 2026 using pizzas available in the New York City area.
