Shop Overview
Sizzle Pie brings a very Portland take on pizza to Portland International Airport (PDX): quick slices, bold flavor combos, and an easy counter-service setup that works well when you’re watching the boarding clock. It’s a reliable stop for travelers who want something more satisfying than packaged snacks, without committing to a full sit-down meal.
Expect a straightforward, fast-casual experience—order at the counter, grab a slice (or two), and be on your way. Because PDX’s new main terminal emphasizes local favorites, Sizzle Pie fits right in as an on-brand “taste of Portland” option that’s accessible even if you’re not flying.
What to Buy
- Pizza by the slice: The go-to for most travelers—quick, filling, and easy to eat before security or while waiting for a ride.
- Whole pie (when time allows): Best if you’re traveling with a group or want a take-along meal for the plane (ask for box/napkins).
- Grab-and-go add-ons: If you want something lighter, pair a slice with a simple side or a drink for a quick “airport meal deal” feel (offerings can vary by day).
- Local angle: Sizzle Pie is a well-known Portland brand, so it doubles as a regional “last taste of Oregon” (or first, if you just landed).
Price note: This is not duty-free (and dining rarely is), so there are no duty-free savings to compare. Airport pricing can run higher than city locations, but the value is in speed and convenience—especially compared with packaged food when you want a real meal.
Location & Hours
Location: Main Terminal, pre-security. This is one of the convenient pre-security local options in the main terminal area, so it’s accessible to non-ticketed visitors as well as travelers.
Directions: From the main terminal entry and ticketing/check-in area, look for the pre-security retail and dining cluster; Sizzle Pie is positioned as an easy stop before you commit to the security line.
Hours: Hours can vary with terminal construction phases and seasonality—check flypdx.com or airport signage on the day of travel for the most current times.
- Peak times: Early mornings (first flight bank), midday, and late afternoon/early evening departures.
- Quieter windows: Mid-morning and later evening (outside major departure waves), when lines are usually shorter.
Shopping Tips
- Security strategy: Because it’s pre-security, it’s a smart meet-up point if someone is dropping you off—grab a slice together before you head to TSA.
- Time management: If the security line is building, order quickly (slice service is usually fastest) and skip anything that requires waiting for a full pie.
- Duty-free reminder: Not a duty-free shop; standard taxes and pricing apply.
- Returns & issues: For dining purchases, most airports treat sales as final; if something’s off with your order, ask for help immediately at the counter while you’re still there.
- Payment & currency: Expect standard U.S. payment options (major cards and mobile pay are commonly accepted at PDX); carry a backup card if you’re in a rush.
