Are you hosting a pool party? Costco is my go-to for buying summer party foods- it’s easy and cheap to host a pool party. Below are the best Costco pool party food ideas.
Costco Pool Party Ideas
1. Caprese Skewers
I always choose mozzarella tomatoes for party appetizers. When hosting a pool party, I like to serve caprese skewers because they are easy to eat and prepare. Simply put the mozzarella balls and grape tomatoes onto skewers to create delicious caprese skewers—perfect pool party food!
2. Chips and Guacamole
Chips and guacamole are always a hit at any summer pool party. Costco has the best price on tortilla chips and guacamole, so whenever I’m hosting a party, I will buy them there.
3. Asian Noodle Salad
I absolutely love this Asian noodle salad. It’s incredibly delicious and ideal for a pool party. I would recommend serving it in clear plastic cups for easy eating and individual portions.
4. Burgers
Burgers are a must-have for pool parties. I prefer using frozen grass-fed beef patties served on Martin’s hamburger buns.
5. Sabrett Hotdogs
Hotdogs are always a hit at pool parties. I always make sure to grab a bunch from Costco because they offer the best deals. My favorite is the Sabrett hotdogs. Just toss them on the grill and serve them with Martin’s Hot Dog Buns!
6. Mini Corn Dogs
If you don’t want to deal with grilling at your pool party, serve your guests mini corn dogs instead. They make for a simple and enjoyable summer pool party snack that both adults and kids will enjoy!
7. Pizza Bombas
These pizza bombas are addictive. My kids can’t get enough of them. They love the delicious pizza flavor of these soft, round bread balls stuffed with mozzarella, cheese, and pepperoni.
8. Pretzel Bites
Pretzel Bites are perfect for pool parties. They’re easy to prepare – you can cook them in the oven, microwave, or air fryer.
Plus, they come with two delicious dipping sauces: mustard and cheddar cheese. These pretzel bites are easy finger foods at pool parties.
9. Watermelon
You can’t host a pool party without serving watermelons. Slice them into triangles, or cube them and serve in plastic cups for convenient individual portions. Costco has the best deals on watermelons, with a jumbo watermelon priced at just $8.99!
10. Tommy Bahama Patio Cooler
This Tommy Bahama Patio Cooler is ideal for summer pool parties. It’s perfect for keeping drinks cold by the pool or on the patio. Because it’s a rolling cooler, you can easily move it around, and it even has a built-in bottle opener. At $199.99, it’s definitely on my wishlist. I’m holding out for a sale!
11. Polar Seltzer
Treat your guests to the limited edition Polar Seltzers, available in 5 refreshing summer flavors: papaya breeze, raspberry limoncello, seaside watermelon punch, peach iced tea, and strawberry creme. Packaged in chic, slim cans, they are the perfect addition to any summer pool party!

These Costco lemonade drinks are perfect for pool parties. They are so convenient to prepare – no need to deal with powdered lemonade; just pour them into dispensers, serve, and let your guests help themselves to a refreshing lemonade drink. You can choose from two flavors: original lemonade or raspberry lemonade. The best part is that they’re organic, too.
14. GoodPop
These GoodPop Cherry Lemonade popsicles are perfect for summer pool parties. They come in a patriotic red, white, and blue color scheme, and I’m happy that they’re not loaded with sugar!
