Costco’s food court pizza is well-known for its size, taste, and value. Whether you’re swinging by for a quick lunch or feeding a crowd, Costco pizza is a favorite for many people.
But how many calories is that oversized slice?
Here’s a breakdown of the calories and nutritional information of Costco’s pizza slices, from direct and reputable sources.
Calories in a Costco Cheese Pizza Slice
One slice of Costco cheese pizza is serious business when it comes to both serving size and calories. Here’s the breakdown:
- Calories: About 699–710 calories per slice
- Serving size: Approximately 9.8-10 ounces (278g)
- Carbohydrates: 70g total (67g net carbs)
- Fat: 28g
- Protein: 44g
- Sodium: 1,370mg
This means a single cheese slice from Costco gives you almost a third of the daily recommended calories per day for the average adult, along with substantial fat, protein, and sodium.
Calories in a Pepperoni or Combo Pizza Slice
If you choose a pepperoni or combo slice, the calories are a little different:
| Pizza Type | Calories per Slice | Fat (g) | Carbs (g) | Protein (g) | Sodium (mg) |
| Cheese | 699–710 | 28 | 70 | 44 | 1,370 |
| Pepperoni | 620 | 24 | 68 | 34 | 1,290 |
| Combo | 679 | 29 | 72 | 36 | 1,540 |
- Pepperoni pizza slice calories: about 711 calories
- Combo pizza slice calories: about 733 calories
All types of pizza are large, filling, and calorically high, essentially functioning as a meal on their own.
How is Costco Pizza Different?
Costco pizza slices are really large compared to normal slices from many pizza chains. For instance, a slice from Domino’s or Pizza Hut weighs around 200-400 calories, depending on the size and toppings used.
Since slices from Costco are more like two normal slices rather than just one, it is understandable that they would have more calories.
Nutritional Information
High Protein
Each Portion Size contains a decent amount of protein (34-44g of protein), which is more protein than most fast food pizza slices contain.
High Sodium
The sodium levels are not low, with one serving of pizza accounting for over 50 percent of the recommended limit for adults.
Amount of Fat
As a portion of total fat, about half of the fat comes from saturated fat. This generates a favorable flavor but also drives up the calorie count.
Final Thoughts
Costco pizza is excellent and delicious, but being aware of the calories and sodium levels generally helps when tracking calorie or sodium intake. One portion can easily be a full meal. If you wish to indulge, do so, while also balancing your day with lighter choices.
If you are counting calories or tracking other nutrients, knowing what you are eating and how it fits into your budget can create a more enjoyable and satisfactory experience when consuming the Costco food court pizza.
