Pizza Brooklyn to open branch at Terminal 1

As Terminal 1 prepares to resume operations, the Airport Authority issues a series of catering tenders. In the first tender, Brooklyn Pizza won the bid to operate a pizzeria in Terminal 1's international departures hall.

The Authority will continue to issue additional catering tenders for coffee shops in the departures hall and public area of Terminal 3. Additionally, it is expected to publish a tender to operate the Grub & Go dining area and more.

Brooklyn Pizza will operate in Terminal 1's international departures hall and expand the existing dining options including: burger restaurants, coffee shops, a sweet corner, and a river bar. The company will immediately begin construction work on the service areas and is expected to operate the pizzeria during 2024.

Brooklyn Pizza is a chain of American-style street pizzerias. Their pizzas are characterized by a larger diameter than usual, with a variety of flavors, including options suitable for vegans. In addition to pizza, the place will sell focaccia, garlic bread, soft drinks, and more.

As previously announced in September, the Airport Authority updated the restaurant lineup at Ben Gurion Airport and issued a series of tenders in the food sector – catering tenders at Terminal 1, Terminal 3, and Duty-Free.
