A Savory New Find in Costco’s Bakery Is Perfect for Easy Meals

Costco is known for its oversized muffins and impressive dessert lineup, but this week, a savory bakery find is getting attention: pita bread.

Like many of the warehouse bakery’s items, the rounds are large, soft, and freshly made. The nine-count pack is priced at $6.99, offering an easy option for sandwiches, wraps, or quick weeknight meals.

The neutral flavor of pita pairs well with a variety of dishes. The soft rounds can be stuffed with grilled chicken, falafel, vegetables, or even shredded rotisserie chicken from Costco’s deli. Because the bread forms a natural pocket when sliced, it easily holds fillings like tuna salad, grilled vegetables, or leftover taco meat for a quick lunch.

They can also make dinner simple on busy nights. Split and toasted, the rounds work well as a base for flatbread-style sandwiches or quick pizzas topped with cheese and vegetables. Warm pita can also be served alongside soups or salads, or paired with dips like hummus, tzatziki, or baba ghanoush.

One viewer shared, “I just bought two packages of those pita breads on Monday, made shredded beef pita pockets on Tuesday, and everyone loved them!!! Hope they stay for a while.”

Pita Bread Is a Traditional Middle Eastern Flatbread With a Signature Pocket

Pita bread is a type of flat, hollow bread that originated in the Middle East during the Stone Age and is now enjoyed around the world. According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, pita is traditionally made from a simple dough of flour, water, yeast, and salt, and baked at a very high heat. As it bakes, steam builds inside the dough, causing the bread to puff up and form the signature pocket in the center.

At $6.99 for a nine-count pack, the new Costco bakery pita offers a simple option to keep on hand for wraps, snacks, or quick meals during the week. Like many items from the warehouse bakery, availability and pricing can vary by location. So, if you spot them, you might want to grab a pack before they’re gone.
