Negroni

Fresh pizza in SkyCourt beats another sad sandwich

Terminal 2’s SkyCourt has one real pizzeria, and it’s Negroni. You sit down, order, and they fire a thin-crust pizza to order instead of pulling slices from a heat lamp. It’s post-security in the central hall, so you can eat here before walking to either 2A or 2B without stressing your boarding time too much.

Figure on mid-range airport prices: roughly double city-center Budapest pizza according to frequent reviewers. That stings if you’re thinking in downtown prices, but it’s still in the standard “$$” airport bracket for a full pie and a drink. Staff usually move quickly; people report getting their pizza in time for a short-haul Schengen hop when they ordered with about 25–30 minutes to spare.

This is the spot if you actually care about pizza quality. Multiple guides single out Negroni as the pizza place at BUD, not just another generic fast-food counter. Expect thin crust, simple toppings, and a result one Google reviewer rated “better than expected from an airport pizza joint” after a quick pre-boarding meal.

Regulars treat Negroni as a sit-down break in SkyCourt instead of joining the lines at the burger chains. Two people can share one larger pizza and a bottle of water or soft drink and walk away having spent about 8,000–10,000 HUF, which tracks with recent reports from Terminal 2.

Watch out for the bill shock if you’ve just paid 2,000–3,000 HUF for pizza in the city; the airport markup is real. Also keep an eye on boarding times for non-Schengen flights out of 2B, as some long-haul gates start queuing a full 40 minutes early.

Tip: if your group is hungry but short on time, order one pizza to share and ask for it sliced into extra pieces; you’ll eat faster and still make that Terminal 2 boarding call.
