By Gate B6 in Terminal 1, Pizzeria is the straightforward slice option at RIC.
This spot sits airside in Terminal 1, near the B-gates, so it works for most mainline departures out of Richmond. It runs from early morning through the typical last departures of the night, covering breakfast hours through late flights. Seating is limited and close to the concourse traffic, so expect more “grab a table and eat fast” than a lingering sit-down meal.
Menu is simple: New York–style pizza by the slice, whole pies, and basic sides. Slices usually land in the $5–$7 range depending on toppings, with whole pizzas climbing into the mid-$20s. Expect standards like cheese, pepperoni, and a veggie option, plus rotating specialties that may change based on day and dough. Crust leans on the thinner side for airport pizza, with a slightly chewy edge and a soft center.
Service is counter-order, pay, then wait on your number to be called. During midday banks of flights, especially between 11:00 and 14:00, lines can form and a pie may take 10–15 minutes if they’re working from scratch instead of reheating. Morning hours skew lighter on choices; around 06:00–09:00 you may only see cheese and pepperoni ready to go, so keep expectations tight if you want something more custom.
Order cheese or pepperoni if you care about turnover; those pies move constantly and come out fresher. Specialty toppings can sit a bit longer in the case, which affects texture when they reheat it. Drinks cover soda bottles, fountain options, and basic beer in the $7–$10 range, so you can pair a slice with a drink without crossing the $15 mark.
Tip: if your flight boards in 30 minutes or less from a nearby B-gate, ask for slices “well-done” so they reheat faster and you’re not standing around watching your boarding group line up.
