Costco Food Court — Restaurant in San Jose

"We pay our workers $45k/year, provide health insurance and let them unionize―the opposite of what Walmart does."―James Sinegal, co-founder and former CEO of Costco

Hard to find anyone in the BA that hasn't eaten at a Costco Food Court before because, unlike shopping there, you don't have to be a member to dine. The food is not great, by any stretch of the imagination, but the prices can't be beat.

100% beef hot dog or Polish dog w/ Pepsi® ($1.50) This is the ubiquitous item that everyone goes for. They have a nice topping bar that includes fresh white onion, relish, ketchup and deli or yellow mustard. I like the Polish dog better but it really gives me awful burps.

Churro ($1) At one time these were terrific but now they're awful. Hard, overcooked and no flavor.

Pizza ($1.99/slice $9.99/18" pie) Available in pepperoni, combo or cheese this might be the most controversial item in their menu, as some people like it and some people absolutely abhor it. Personally I think it's ok. Not great but not terrible.

Now, legend has it that "some people" will take a Costco Dog and wrap it in a slice of their pepperoni pizza and make the most horrifying abomination known to Cardiologists. But that's merely conjecture and I don't deal...

It's always the same thing with this place. I always call ahead, I gave my name, but they never give me my pizza on time and they never asked for my name. I get there and 20 to 30 minutes for a pizza that I order...

While I still like the place, the reduction in selection is disappointing. Chicken Bake, Cheese & Pepperoni Pizza, Hot Dog and Churros is about all...
