Costco isn’t just a place for stocking up on 30 rolls of toilet paper or enough granola to last through a zombie apocalypse. It’s also a secret haven for foodies, offering a selection of gourmet finds that can turn your dining room into a five-star experience. If you’re looking for a little luxury in your life, this week’s Costco gems will have you salivating.
Let’s dive into the best fancy food finds that will impress your taste buds and dinner guests.
1. Giordano’s Chicago Deep Dish Frozen Pizza
Chicago is known for two things: cold winters and deep-dish pizza, and Giordano’s is the royalty of both. Now, thanks to Costco, you can bring this Chicago staple straight to your freezer without braving the Windy City’s weather.
The three-pack of Giordano’s frozen pizzas includes a cheese, pepperoni, and sausage pizza, all stuffed with layers of mozzarella and hand-picked tomatoes. Each pizza serves two to three people, but if you’re like me, you’ll keep it all to yourself because who can resist that gooey, cheesy perfection?
While $89.99 might seem steep for frozen pizza, consider the fact that this isn’t just any pizza — it’s a three-pound behemoth packed with rich Wisconsin mozzarella and a savory sauce made from Northern California tomatoes. Pro tip: Keep a fork handy, because you’ll need it!
2. Comvita Certified UMF 20+ Manuka Honey
This New Zealand-imported nectar is UMF-certified, meaning it has a super high concentration of health-boosting properties. Basically, this is the crème de la crème of the honey world, perfect for drizzling over yogurt, mixing into tea, or just eating by the spoonful like the true health king or queen you are.
At $149.99 for two 8.8-ounce jars, it’s not cheap, but consider it an investment in your well-being. Plus, you can casually mention at dinner parties that you now eat “Certified UMF 20+ Manuka Honey.” Who wouldn’t be impressed?
3. Japanese Wagyu New York Strip Loin Roast
If you’ve ever wanted to experience true decadence without boarding a flight to Japan, Costco’s got you covered with its Japanese Wagyu New York Strip Loin Roast. At $799.99, this 11-pound beast of a roast will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about beef.
Graded A5, the highest quality rating in Japan, this Wagyu comes straight from the Kagoshima Prefecture, complete with a certificate of authenticity, because yes, your meat needs credentials at this price point.
The marbling on this roast is like artwork. What is the flavor? Let’s just say you might want to block off the rest of your day after eating it because you’ll need time to recover from the sheer bliss.
4. Tsar Nicoulai Baerii Caviar
Looking to add a little sophistication to your next brunch? How about some Tsar Nicoulai Baerii Caviar, available in a two-pack for $179.99? Sure, it might sound fancy, but there’s something incredibly satisfying about being able to casually serve caviar on a Tuesday morning just because you can.
Each two-ounce jar is vacuum-sealed to ensure freshness, and the Malossol style (meaning “lightly salted”) makes it perfect for pairing with blinis, crackers, or even just eating straight from the spoon if you’re feeling extra indulgent. The only downside? It’s so good you might just want to keep it all to yourself.
5. Smoked New Zealand King Salmon
This pack includes two 1.1-pound filets for $84.99, which is a bargain considering the premium quality. Cured with sea salt and brown sugar, then smoked over Manuka wood, this salmon is perfect for elevating your next bagel brunch or charcuterie board. It’s pre-sliced and ready to serve, making it the ultimate no-fuss, high-reward food.
The rich, buttery texture and subtle smokiness will make you feel as if you’re dining in a five-star restaurant, even if you’re sitting on your couch in sweatpants. Plus, it ships frozen, so you can stash it in your freezer for whenever you need an impromptu gourmet snack.
Costco’s gourmet offerings this week prove that bulk buying doesn’t mean sacrificing quality. So go ahead, treat yourself to luxury (and a lower credit card bill thanks to Costco deals) — you deserve it.
