Review

Costco has a reputation for dishing out budget-friendly, family-sized meals — and the Costco Calzone is no exception. Found in the deli section and priced at $6.99, it promises a hearty, ready-to-bake meal loaded with cheesy filling and classic Italian flavor. But how does it hold up when it hits your plate?

Let’s take a closer look.

💲 Price per quantity (★★★★☆): $6.99

At $6.99, the calzone is generously sized, making it a solid option for a quick lunch, a casual dinner, or even a shareable snack. That said, it’s likely comparable in portion to Costco’s popular chicken bake, which costs just $3.99. So while still a decent value, it doesn’t quite match the bang-for-your-buck appeal of the chicken bake — hence the one-star deduction.

🍕 Flavor & Quality (★★★★★): (5/5)

The Costco Calzone has a solid base: golden-brown, cheese speckled crust, creamy cheese and tomatoey filling, and bits of meat throughout. The crust bakes up crisp on the outside and chewy inside. The filling includes mozzarella, mushroom, olives, peppers, tomato sauce, and scattered pieces of pepperoni and sausage.

✍️ Summary:

The Costco Calzone is a convenient, budget-friendly option for quick meals and pizza cravings. It delivers on size, ease and convenience and taste great. For $6.99, it is still a great price for what you get, even though there are better hard-to-beat deals on the Costco hot food bar menu.
