Pizza is undoubtedly one of the most popular foods in the world, loved by millions for its delicious taste and convenience. And what better place to enjoy a slice of pizza than at the airport, where travelers are often looking for a quick and satisfying meal before catching their flight? Our staff stopped by the newly renovated Wolfgang Puck Kitchen Counter on Concourse B to test out their pizzas ahead of Pi Day.
BBQ Chicken Pizza
Lindsay: This was my favorite – maybe it’s because I ate it first when I was hungriest but it hit the spot. Often BBQ chicken pizzas have bacon on them and, as much as I love bacon, I’m only human afterall, it’s always overkill in this application. So I appreciated that this one stuck to the basics of chicken, cheese, BBQ sauce, corn, and cilantro. The sauce was just a bit spicy to me but I’m a wimp. Ranking: 1st place
Alyssa: The sauce was a great mix of sweet and tangy. Both the cilantro and corn were unexpected additions that I really enjoyed. Ranking: 2nd place
Efua: Absolutely delicious! The combination of corn, red onion, chicken, and BBQ sauce was perfect. The flavors blended together beautifully, and I couldn’t get enough of it. Ranking: 1st place
Kati: I do not like cilantro. My first bite was cilantro. It was all uphill from there, however. The chicken was great and the BBQ sauce was the perfect amount of tangy. I was also pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed corn on pizza so much! Ranking: 3rd place
Margherita Pizza
Efua: If you’re in the mood for something simple but delicious, the margherita pizza is a great choice. The mozzarella and basil combo is always a winner, and the wood-fired crust adds the perfect touch of crispiness. Ranking: 4th place
Alyssa: Simple but yummy. I’m always in the mood for a mozzarella and basil combo. Ranking: 5th place
Kati: The sauce was sweet and tasty. A good choice if you’re feeling something simple but delicious. Ranking: 5th place
Lindsay: A great choice before traveling – not too heavy or spicy. A great showcase for the crispy wood-fired crust. Ranking: 5th place
Pepperoni Pizza
Lindsay: I don’t like pizzas with too much pepperoni and this had just the right amount and it was perfectly spaced. It could use a side of extra sauce IMO. Ranking: 3rd place
Alyssa: The ultimate classic! The cheese was nice and gooey and the pepperoni itself was the right amount of salty and tangy with just a little bit of spice. Ranking: 1st place
Efua: The cheese is gooey and delicious, and the pizza had the perfect balance of pepperoni. Ranking: 3rd place
Kati: It’s your classic pepperoni goodness. The pepperoni was tasty, and there was a good amount of cheese (including parmesan!). Ranking: 2nd place
Meatball & Mozzarella
Lindsay: I liked it, it was just that I liked the others more. I liked that the sauce had pieces of tomato in it. I did have a piece of it cold the next day and it was a really good breakfast. Ranking: 4th place
Alyssa: The sauce and cheese are just the right amount of sweetness, and they don’t skimp on the size of the meatball! Ranking: 4th place
Efua: The meatballs were nice and juicy; however I’m not the biggest fan of meatballs that’s why it’s 5th place for me. Ranking: 5th place
Kati: The meatball was good and the big bites of tomato were the perfect amount of sweet mixed with the cheesy goodness of the pizza. Ranking: 4th place
The Italian Pizza
Lindsay: Where banana peppers are is where I want to be. In addition to the peppers, this was a winning combo of soppressata, pepperoni, red onions, and basil. Flavorful enough that just a bit goes a long way – a perfect pre-flight amount. Ranking: 2nd place
Alyssa: Love the complexity of flavors in this one. Always love a banana pepper and some red onions. Ranking: 3rd place
Efua: Great combination of flavors! I love banana peppers, so it was very enjoyable with every bite. Ranking: 2nd place
Kati: This one is definitely my first choice. It had a wide range of flavors going on, from sweet to salty. My only complaint? I had to share! Ranking: 1st place
So, what was the crew’s collective favorite? The BBQ chicken pizza! Although, you can’t go wrong with any of the flavors offered.
