Finding it
PZA is in Food Court in Terminal 1 at John F. Kennedy International Airport. It sits landside, so you can reach it without a boarding pass — and you still have to clear security afterwards.
- Level
- 4
Terminal 1 has 30 places to eat and 34 shops in this directory; the earliest opens at 5am.
Hours against the security queue
PZA opens at 11:30am and closes at 7:30pm. FlyIndex's wait-time data puts the typical JFK checkpoint queue at 21 minutes around 11am.
Across the week, JFK security runs longest around 8am at a median of 33 minutes, and lightest around 2am at 10 minutes. The queue is typically building before this location opens.
Queue figures are medians from FlyIndex's JFK wait-time record, not a live reading.
About this location
Opens at 11:30 AM in Terminal 1's Level 4 food court, later than Shin Ramyun a few doors down and later than the Wurst Sausages counter across the aisle. That rules it out for an early departure but leaves it running through the evening rush until 7:30 PM. Pizza, pasta and a bar set it apart from the noodle and taco counters nearby — it's the closest thing in this food court to a sit-down Italian meal rather than a quick counter order.
