Round Table Pizza

Large slices and whole pies in DXB Terminal 1

Round Table Pizza sits inside Dubai International Airport’s T1, handy if your flight goes from any of the T1 gates serving international carriers other than Emirates. It’s post-security, so you only see it after passport and security checks in this terminal. Expect classic US-style pies rather than local twists, with familiar toppings you’d see at a mall food court back home.

Food here centers on pizza by the slice and whole pies, plus soft drinks and likely a few sides like garlic bread or wings common to Round Table locations worldwide. Prices skew above street level, as usual for DXB, so assume a noticeable markup over what you’d pay in the city. Figure on a quick counter order, tray in hand, and then you find your own table in the shared T1 seating.

Timing matters in Terminal 1, which runs 24/7 with overnight banks of flights to Europe and Asia. Round Table Pizza typically mirrors airport peak hours, so late-night and early-morning departures around 01:00–04:00 often still find hot pies in the case, while truly dead times in the mid-morning can mean a shorter menu or slower turnover. If you’re landing into T1 on a red-eye, this is one of the more straightforward filling options nearby.

Expect fast-food pace: order at the counter, wait a few minutes, then walk your tray back to the gate area within T1. Pizza slices usually reheat in under 5 minutes, making this workable even with a 45–60 minute layover inside the terminal. If you care about freshness, ask what just came out of the oven rather than grabbing the first slice in the display.

Tip: if your boarding pass shows a remote stand in T1 with bus boarding, plan to finish eating at least 25 minutes before departure time so you’re not rushing downstairs when they call your zone.
