12-inch coal-fired pies at Terminal 1 before your flight
Black Sheep Pizza sits in MSP Terminal 1, on the concourse side past security, and runs through typical flight banks from late morning into the evening. It carries the same coal-fired style as their Twin Cities locations, but here you’re paying airport pricing: plan on roughly $16–$20 for a 12-inch pizza and $7–$10 for a beer. Seating is bar-style plus a few tables, so think quick sit-down rather than a long, lingering meal.
The menu leans hard into pizza with a handful of salads and a couple of starters. Classic cheese and pepperoni are usually the safest call, and the crust tracks close to their city shops: thin, lightly blistered, and on the chewy side when it’s not rushed. Specialty pies with sausage or meatballs land in the $18–$22 range. Single slices are sometimes available during peak times at Terminal 1, but turnover varies, so a whole pie tends to taste fresher.
Service at Black Sheep Pizza is typical airport pace: they aim for about 10–20 minutes from order to table for a whole pizza. With a 3.5-star average rating, you’re getting something better than generic food-court pizza, but not a destination in itself. Draft beer and simple cocktails run $8–$14, and there are a few canned options if you want to be in and out in under half an hour.
Payments are standard for MSP Terminal 1: cards, mobile pay, and most airline crew discount cards work here, but gift cards from their downtown locations don’t always scan. You can easily walk from Black Sheep Pizza to most Terminal 1 gates in under 10 minutes. Tip: if your connection is under an hour, grab a cheese or pepperoni to-go box and eat at the gate instead of waiting for a specialty pie with extra toppings.
