Costco’s deli case is packed with wraps, sandwiches, and returning favorites worth a closer look. We tasted through the buzz to see which options deserve a spot in your cart.
1. Costco Thai Chicken Wraps Bring the Sweet Heat
This is one of those Costco deli finds that sounds like an automatic winner: rotisserie chicken, a creamy spread, veggies, and sweet chili sauce. But once I dug in, I quickly understood why shoppers are surprisingly divided on this one.
Price: About $6.99 per pound, with four-wrap packages generally landing around $15–$16. Costco shoppers have reported paying roughly $4 per wrap.
Taste Test: The sweet chili dipping sauce is unquestionably the star. It brings the sweetness, mild heat, and tang the rest of the wrap needs. The rotisserie chicken is familiar and savory, while the cream cheese-style spread gives it richness. My biggest issue is that without enough dipping sauce, the filling can taste surprisingly muted. That lines up with community feedback calling the wrap bland on its own and saying the sweet chili sauce does most of the heavy lifting. At the same time, other shoppers have called these some of Costco’s best wraps and reported buying them repeatedly.
Texture Summary: The tortilla is soft, the chicken is substantial, and the creamy spread keeps everything from becoming completely dry. Cabbage, spinach, and onion add a little freshness, but this isn’t as crunchy as Costco’s Asian wrap.
Make It Better: Don’t be shy with the sweet chili sauce. I would also add a squeeze of lime or a little sriracha to cut through the creamy filling. If Costco ever sold an extra sauce cup alongside these, I’d grab it.
Perfect Pairings: A cold cucumber salad, edamame, Asian slaw, or lightly seasoned green beans makes this feel much more like a complete meal. Those lighter sides also balance the creamy filling and sweet sauce.
Final Verdict: BUY — with one condition. If you like sweet chili sauce, this is worth trying. If you prefer a wrap that has tons of flavor without dipping sauce, the Asian wrap farther down this list is the stronger buy.
2. Costco’s Rotisserie Chicken Asian Wrap Is the Crunchy Comeback I Wanted
Some Costco deli items return quietly. This one came back with shoppers practically celebrating. After looking at what is inside—and what people keep saying about that dipping sauce—I can understand why this wrap has developed such a loyal following.
Price: $6.99 per pound. One August 2026 shopper sighting showed a four-wrap package around $17.58, although package totals vary by weight.
Taste Test: This is easily one of the more balanced Costco wraps. The rotisserie chicken provides that familiar savory base, while the Asian-style dressing adds the sweet-and-tangy flavor the otherwise mild filling needs. The response online has been overwhelmingly positive, with community users calling it their favorite Costco deli item and particularly praising the dressing.
Texture Summary: This is where the wrap really separates itself. Broccoli slaw and chow mein noodles give every bite noticeable crunch against the softer spinach tortilla and chicken. Even a YouTube review described the wrap itself as fairly mild until dipped, but praised the sweet, tangy transformation from the sauce.
Make It Better: Costco needs to give us more dressing. Shoppers repeatedly mention wanting a second cup, and I agree with the logic. A little sriracha or chili crisp mixed into the dressing would also be excellent if you like more heat.
Perfect Pairings: I would serve this with sesame cucumber salad, pot stickers, edamame, or even a simple bag of Asian chopped salad.
Final Verdict: BUY. Of the Costco wraps I researched, this is one of the safest recommendations. Great crunch, generous portions, and a sauce that shoppers genuinely seem to miss whenever this disappears.
3. Costco’s New Pretzel Bun Chicken Sandwich Is Absolutely Stacked
Costco took a pretty simple cold chicken sandwich and made it much more interesting by putting it on a soft pretzel bun. The result is filling, convenient, and surprisingly substantial—but there is one ingredient I would handle differently.
Price: Around $5.49 per pound, with six-sandwich trays commonly costing about $12–$15.
Taste Test: The first thing that stands out is the amount of chicken. Social-media reviewers repeatedly describe these sandwiches as stacked, and Costco isn’t skimping on the meat. Cheddar and Swiss give the sandwich a mild cheesy richness, while the Dijon mayo provides the sharp, creamy kick that keeps all that chicken and bread from tasting flat.
Texture Summary: The pretzel bun is soft and chewy rather than hard or overly crusty, which works well with the thick layers of deli chicken. The potential weak spot is the lettuce. Shoppers have specifically complained about the amount and quality of lettuce overpowering an otherwise exciting sandwich.
Make It Better: Remove the lettuce, warm the chicken, cheeses, and pretzel bun until the cheese starts melting, then add fresh lettuce back afterward. Even early social feedback suggested these sandwiches could be especially good warmed up.
Perfect Pairings: Dill pickles, kettle chips, tomato soup, potato salad, or a crunchy slaw all work here. The included Dijon mayo is already the right sauce, but spicy mustard would give it another level.
Final Verdict: BUY. It’s new, portable, legitimately filling, and the pretzel bread makes it much more memorable than another basic deli sandwich.
4. Costco’s Southwest Chicken Wrap Is Big, Smoky and Seriously Filling
This wrap looks loaded before you even open the package—and it is. Costco packs in chicken, beans, corn, spinach, and plenty of vegetables, then adds a creamy, spicy sauce that determines whether you’ll love it or find it too heavy.
Price: Usually $6.99 per pound, with typical packages around $16–$18 depending on weight. Recent warehouse tracking still shows $6.99 as the average reported price.
Taste Test: Black beans and grilled corn give this one a Southwestern feel, while the creamy sauce adds the smoky-spicy element. It isn’t overwhelmingly hot. The bigger criticism is the chicken-to-vegetable ratio. One YouTube reviewer felt there were far too many vegetables and too little chicken, while other Costco shoppers call the wraps delicious and worthwhile for the portion size.
Texture Summary: This is a dense wrap. You’ve got soft tortilla and chicken mixed with beans, corn, spinach, and onion, so there’s much more going on texturally than in a plain deli sandwich. It can start feeling a little heavy halfway through a full wrap.
Make It Better: If your wrap looks vegetable-heavy, add some extra Costco rotisserie chicken. I would also add fresh pico de gallo or a squeeze of lime to brighten the rich, creamy sauce.
Perfect Pairings: Tortilla chips and salsa, avocado, fresh corn salad, pico de gallo, or a simple chopped salad.
Final Verdict: BUY IF YOU LIKE LOADED WRAPS. It’s satisfying and substantial, but shoppers who want chicken to dominate every bite may prefer the Pretzel Bun Sandwich or Asian Wrap.
5. Costco’s Chicken Caesar Wrap Sounds Perfect but Has One Big Weakness
Chicken Caesar salad inside a tortilla should be almost impossible to mess up. Costco gives you plenty of rotisserie chicken, romaine, Parmesan, and Caesar dressing—but shoppers have been much more divided on this wrap than I expected.
Price: Generally around $6.99 per pound, although recent warehouse reports range from $4.99 to $6.99. Social sightings put the cost at roughly $4.50 per full wrap when priced at the standard rate.
Taste Test: The combination itself is classic: savory chicken, salty Parmesan, romaine, and creamy Caesar. The problem is seasoning. Several reviews describe the assembled wrap as bland even after adding the dressing, while others praise the generous chicken and convenient portion.
Texture Summary: When fresh, the romaine gives the wrap some crunch against the soft wheat tortilla and chicken. Let it sit too long, though, and moisture from the lettuce can soften the tortilla—which is one of the complaints shoppers have made about this version.
Make It Better: Extra Caesar dressing, cracked black pepper, and more Parmesan are the easiest fixes. If you’re eating these over several days, I wouldn’t pour the dressing inside until you’re ready to eat.
Perfect Pairings: Tomato soup, Parmesan crisps, fresh fruit, kettle chips, or a cup of Costco’s soup make this an easy lunch.
Final Verdict: SKIP AT FULL PRICE, BUY ON MARKDOWN. The idea is great, but Costco has more interesting wraps. Unless you really love Caesar salad, I’d grab the returning Asian Wrap first.

6. Costco’s Chicken & Swiss Rollers Are Better Than They Look
These little pinwheel-style rollers aren’t flashy, but the combination of roasted chicken, Swiss cheese, vegetables, and cranberry cream cheese turns out to be surprisingly satisfying—especially when you’re feeding several people without wanting to cook.
Price: $6.99 per pound. Costco Same-Day currently shows the 12-count tray at an estimated $17.45, although the exact total depends on weight and delivery pricing.
Taste Test: The roasted chicken is mild and familiar, Swiss adds a gentle cheesy flavor, and the cranberry cream cheese is what makes the whole thing more interesting by adding subtle sweetness and tang. A recent social review called the flavor combination solid, while an older detailed review found the Swiss too mild and wished for a stronger cheese.
Texture Summary: The lavash stays softer than standard sandwich bread, while lettuce and tomato give it freshness. These are moist enough when fresh, but like most preassembled roll-ups, they’re best eaten sooner rather than after several days in the refrigerator.
Make It Better: One reviewer specifically thought Cheddar would improve the flavor over mild Swiss, and that’s a hack I would absolutely try. A little Dijon mustard also cuts nicely through the cranberry cream cheese.
Perfect Pairings: Grapes, apple slices, potato salad, soup, pickles, or a simple green salad.
Final Verdict: BUY FOR A CROWD. They’re not Costco’s boldest deli item, but they’re convenient, easy to serve, and more flavorful than the plain appearance suggests.
7. The Chicken, Salami & Swiss Artisan Sandwich Is the Platter Sleeper Hit
Costco’s Artisan Sandwich Platter is designed for parties, but after digging into the reviews, there’s a strong argument for buying it simply to stock the fridge. The chicken, salami, and Swiss version may be the platter’s most interesting sandwich.
Price: The 20-sandwich platter is about $50 in warehouse, or roughly $2.50 per sandwich. Costco Same-Day currently lists the full platter higher at about $56.74.
Taste Test: The chicken keeps the sandwich mild while salami adds the salty, savory punch it needs. Swiss, lettuce, and slow-roasted tomato round it out, but the Garlic Herb Aioli is what shoppers consistently rave about. That creamy, garlicky sauce takes a fairly simple cold sandwich and makes it taste much more complete.
Texture Summary: There’s plenty of meat, but the artisan bread is thick and can become the weak link. Recent community feedback specifically called the original bread dry.
Make It Better: This is my favorite community hack from the entire list: one community shopper bought Costco croissants and moved the sandwich fillings onto the croissants because the original bread was too dry. They said the result was delicious.
Perfect Pairings: Grillo’s pickle chips, kettle chips, pasta salad, fruit, and plenty of that Garlic Herb Aioli.
Final Verdict: BUY. For parties, game days, or easy lunches, this is one of Costco’s strongest deli values—especially once you know how to fix the bread issue.
8. Costco’s Roast Beef & Cheddar Artisan Sandwich Brings the Bigger Flavor
If the chicken and salami sandwich is the lighter option on Costco’s Artisan Platter, the roast beef and Cheddar is the one I would reach for when I want something heartier. It has more richness and handles the garlic aioli especially well.
Price: Included in the same 20-count, roughly $50 Artisan Sandwich Platter, which works out to about $2.50 per sandwich in warehouse.
Taste Test: Roast beef gives this version a stronger savory flavor than the chicken sandwich, while Cheddar adds more sharpness than Swiss. Slow-roasted tomato adds sweetness and acidity, and once again, the Garlic Herb Aioli is the ingredient that ties everything together. Shopper response to the overall platter has been strongly positive.
Texture Summary: There’s a satisfying amount of meat and cheese, but that same thick artisan bread can feel dry—especially after the tray has been refrigerated.
Make It Better: Add extra aioli and pickle chips directly to the sandwich instead of eating them separately. And yes, the community croissant swap works beautifully here too if the bread has dried out.
Perfect Pairings: Horseradish sauce, Dijon mustard, pickles, kettle chips, potato salad, or a simple Caesar salad.
Final Verdict: BUY. If I had to choose between the two Artisan Platter sandwiches, this is the richer, more traditional deli-style option and the one serious roast beef fans will probably prefer.
9. Costco’s Croissant Chicken Salad Sandwich Is a Buttery Crowd-Pleaser
Chicken salad and Costco croissants already have a fan base on their own, so putting the two together is almost unfair. This is richer than Costco’s wraps, but for parties and laid-back lunches, it’s difficult to beat.
Price: $44.99 in warehouse according to current Costco-tracking data, while Costco Same-Day currently lists the platter at approximately $51.06. The platter is designed to serve roughly 12–24 people.
Taste Test: Costco’s chicken salad leans creamy, with big pieces of rotisserie chicken and celery. Recent community feedback says mayo lovers will probably enjoy it, while people who prefer a drier chicken salad may find it too rich. On the buttery croissant, that creamy filling turns into a very indulgent sandwich.
Texture Summary: The croissant brings the flaky, buttery softness, while the celery in the chicken salad adds just enough crunch. This one is decidedly creamy rather than crisp.
Make It Better: Lightly toast the croissant before adding cold chicken salad. Costco shoppers have been recommending this trick for years, with Dijon mustard, romaine, grapes, or even roasted sesame dressing suggested as upgrades.
Perfect Pairings: Grapes, strawberries, potato chips, pasta salad, Grillo’s pickles, or a simple leafy salad.
Final Verdict: BUY. This is one of the safest party foods Costco sells. It’s familiar, filling, easy to serve, and the buttery croissant makes it feel more special than a basic sandwich tray.
10. Costco’s Tuscan Chicken Wrap Is Made for Olive Lovers
This is the most polarizing wrap on the list. Red pepper pesto, bell peppers, spinach, cream cheese, black olives, and sun-dried tomato sauce sound fantastic together—but depending on how you feel about olives, this could be your favorite or an immediate skip.
Price: Historically and in recent inventory tracking, about $6.99 per pound, with a four-wrap tray generally around $15–$18. Inventory tracking showed the rotating deli item appearing again during summer 2026, although availability is inconsistent.
Taste Test: This wrap has more Mediterranean-inspired flavor than Costco’s simpler chicken wraps. The red pepper pesto and sun-dried tomato dipping sauce bring sweetness, acidity, and richness, while black olives add a salty punch. Some community shoppers rank the Tuscan wrap above the Southwest version and rave about the sauce; others found the entire wrap bland or actively disliked it.
Texture Summary: Chicken, cream cheese, spinach, peppers, and olives make for a very dense filling. The peppers give some bite, but the creamy components keep the overall texture soft. Some shoppers specifically complained that there were simply too many olives.
Make It Better: If you’re not an olive fanatic, pull some out before eating. If you love the flavor profile but find the wrap dry, don’t ration the sun-dried tomato dipping sauce—that is repeatedly the component fans say makes the wrap.
Perfect Pairings: A Greek-style salad, marinated cucumbers, roasted vegetables, fresh fruit, or extra sun-dried tomato spread.
Final Verdict: BUY IF YOU LOVE OLIVES; SKIP IF YOU DON’T. This isn’t the universal crowd-pleaser the Asian Wrap is, but when the Tuscan flavors work for you, shoppers say they really work.
