By the TYS Main Terminal gates, this is your basic slice stop
Uno Express Pizza sits airside in the Main Terminal at McGhee Tyson, handy if you want something hot before a Knoxville–Atlanta hop or a longer connection. It’s a counter-service setup with limited seating, so think quick grab-and-go near the gates rather than a sit-down meal. Rating hovers around 3 out of 5, which matches expectations for a branded airport pizza stand.
Menu is straightforward: personal pizzas, slices, and a few standard sides. Expect individual pizzas and combos to land in the $10–$18 range, about what you see at similar airport spots in Tennessee and nearby hubs. Portions usually cover one hungry traveler, not two. Soda and bottled drinks sit in the typical $3–$5 band. Nothing exotic here, but it beats boarding with an empty stomach.
Quality runs middle-of-the-road, in line with that 3-star rating. Pizza leans heavy on cheese and light on toppings, and pies sometimes sit under the heat lamps a bit too long when flights thin out between banks. If you care about freshness, ask when the last pie came out of the oven and choose that flavor, even if it’s not your first pick. Skip anything that looks like it’s been parked a while.
Service timing tracks with flight banks at TYS. During early morning departures and late-afternoon returns, expect a 10–15 minute wait from order to slice-in-hand, especially if they’re pulling a new pizza at the oven. Midday lulls move faster, closer to 5 minutes. Card payments are standard; keep a backup card in case one terminal glitches right before boarding.
Tip: If your flight boards in 30 minutes or less, grab a pre-made slice and a bottled drink rather than waiting on a made-to-order pizza so you’re not hustling to the Main Terminal gates with a hot box and no time.
