By the domestic gates in Terminal 1, this is your pizza stop
Famiglia Pizzeria sits airside in Terminal 1 at Porto Alegre (POA), an easy option if your GOL or LATAM flight boards nearby. It’s a quick-service counter with a few tables, so think fast slice and go, not long, drawn-out meal. Signs list prices clearly in BRL, and a slice usually runs cheaper than a full sandwich at the other cafés on the same concourse.
You’ll see the menu split between whole pies and by-the-slice options, plus soft drinks and bottled water around R$6–R$8. Toppings lean classic: mozzarella, calabresa, margherita, and a few meat-heavy combinations that change by day. If you’re tight on time before a 45‑minute shuttle flight, a ready-made slice is usually out in under 5 minutes, while a fresh whole pizza can take 15–20 minutes.
Quality sits in the “airport decent” range: crust is thicker than a typical Porto Alegre neighborhood place, but still beats the pre-packed sandwiches you’ll see two doors down. Go for simpler flavors like margherita or plain mozzarella; those tend to hold up better under the heat lamp and reheat more evenly. Drinks are standard cans and bottles, with prices similar to the snack kiosks closer to gate 101.
Seating is limited to a short row of tables plus a rail facing the corridor, so during evening bank departures around 18:00–20:00, expect to stand or eat at your gate. Staff usually handles payment at the counter first, then calls out your order number, which matters if your boarding for flight G3 1900 or similar overlaps with your pickup time.
Tip: If your layover is under 30 minutes, skip the whole pizza, grab two slices and pay in cash or contactless card to cut down on waiting and receipt delays.
