Gate A4 pies built to order in minutes
Right by gate A4 in Terminal 1, Pizza Studio runs like a fast‑casual assembly line: pick your crust, sauce, cheese, and toppings, they fire it, and you’re usually eating in under 10 minutes. It’s past security in the A‑concourse, so this is an easy option if you’re on Southwest or any airline using T1 A‑gates.
Price point sits in the $ range, with individual custom pizzas typically landing in the $10–$15 zone once you add a drink. Portions are single‑person, thin‑crust style, so one pie feeds one hungry traveler, not a whole family. It’s counter‑service only, so you order, wait near the oven, then grab a gate seat or one of the few tables nearby.
The move here is the custom pizza: start with a basic cheese, then layer on vegetables and proteins to match your flight-length appetite. If you’re connecting through STL around lunch or dinner, this beats grabbing a pre‑wrapped sandwich from a cooler. Skip going too heavy on wet toppings unless you’re okay with a softer center on the thin crust.
Pizza Studio sits near the front of the A‑concourse, close enough that walking from A10 or A12 only adds about 5 minutes each way. That’s workable on a 60‑minute layover, but tight if you land late and still need to board at the far end of the pier. There’s no table service and no bar here, just quick pies and fountain drinks.
Tip: If your flight from Terminal 1 departs inside 30 minutes, order a simpler build (fewer toppings) so it cooks faster and you’re not sprinting back to gate A4 with a too‑hot box in hand.
