Gate-side pizza fix in Terminal A
Sbarro sits in Monterrey’s Terminal A, airside after security, so it works for any A-gate departure once you’re through checks. It’s standard food-court counter service: order at the register, wait a few minutes, then grab a seat at nearby communal tables facing the A-gate corridor.
The menu leans classic Sbarro: large pizza slices, stromboli, pasta plates, basic salads, and soft drinks. A slice and a soda usually run in the MX$150–MX$220 range depending on toppings, so it’s cheaper than most sit‑down spots in MTY. Portions are generous enough that one slice often covers a short-haul hunger gap to Mexico City or Houston.
Freshness depends on timing. Pies turn over fastest in the mid‑day bank of departures from gates A1–A8, so that 12:00–15:00 window is your best bet for a slice that hasn’t sat long under the heat lamps. Early morning (before 09:00) and late night (after 21:00) you’re more likely to find limited varieties and older pies, with pepperoni and cheese usually the only options.
Service is quick by airport standards: most people are in and out in under 10–15 minutes when there isn’t a departure surge from multiple A-gates at once. Lines spike when several Volaris or Viva Aerobus flights board back‑to‑back, and they can run 10 people deep; figure that adds another 5–10 minutes to your wait.
Order pizza or stromboli first; pasta tends to sit in warmers longer and can dry out, especially during slow periods between A‑terminal banks. Drinks come in bottles and cans, so you can take them to the gate area near A3–A6 if seating in front of the counter fills up.
Tip: If your flight boards from an upper‑numbered A-gate like A12 or A13, place your order to go and walk toward your gate while you eat; it’s a 5–7 minute stroll from Sbarro to the far end of Terminal A.
