Pizza Hut

3 $$$$

Kids spot the red Pizza Hut sign first in Terminal 3

This Pizza Hut sits in the main food court of Terminal 3 at Cairo International Airport, past security for most EgyptAir departures. It’s standard international Pizza Hut, not a local twist: think personal pan pizzas, basic pastas, and soft drinks. Prices run on the low side for an airport, roughly $7–$10 (220–320 EGP) for a small pizza and drink combo, which undercuts many sit-down spots in T3.

The counter usually keeps typical fast-food hours, roughly matching Terminal 3’s busiest departure banks between 06:00 and 01:00, though exact closing can drift with flight schedules. Seating is shared with other chains in the same food court, so you’re not guaranteed a dedicated table at peak times around the 21:00–23:00 long-haul wave. If you just need calories before an EgyptAir MS flight, this is one of the quickest options in the building.

Menu is stripped-down: cheese or pepperoni-style pizzas, a couple of chicken toppings, garlic bread, and bottled soda or canned Pepsi products. Expect airport pacing rather than 30-minute delivery standards; a small pizza can still take 10–15 minutes when several flights dump into T3 at once. Most travelers using it are families with kids who recognize the brand and don’t want to negotiate unfamiliar dishes after a 4–5 hour regional hop.

Regulars on Egypt forums say they treat Pizza Hut in T3 as backup food when delays stretch past an hour and lounge snacks won’t cut it. The common complaint hits the shared seating area: cleaning can lag, and trays or sauce packets may sit on tables between the 19:00 and 22:00 waves. If you’re sensitive about that, ask for your pizza boxed and eat near your actual gate number in Terminal 3.

Tip: if your connection at CAI is under 90 minutes, order takeaway at Pizza Hut, pay in Egyptian pounds or by card to skip currency issues, and walk the box to your gate so you’re not stuck hunting a table in the food court.
