"If you’re about to spend the next three days at a bachelorette party in Palm Springs where the only sustenance will be orange Jell-O shots and Pedialyte, a giant bowl of pasta from Pallino drenched in butter and a mountain of parmesan is a great way to prepare. Don't get your hopes up for a good pizza from this Italian spot (it trends oily and soggy), but their garlic bread works.  Central Terminal" - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo

Who said the airport food is suck?! This is amazing restaurant in the seattle airport!!! They really bake pizza !!!! 🍕 I ordered calzone and it was baked so it was very fresh and so so so delicious!!! 😝😝 The price was reasonable. Avarage food is around $16. I tried other restaurants but it was pretty expensive but not that delicious… But i rec this restaurant if someone wants to eat fresh&hot food. Not a microwave heated food.

Taste was decent. That is about it. Paid $9 for a cracker with parmesan on it. Spent an extra $3.25 for pepperoni only to discover that they only put in 6 pieces. When I asked about it they said yes, that is all I get. You can refill your drink for free though, so there is that I guess....

Perfect place to go to for a nice and easy bite. We ordered the pepperoni Pizza which was delicious! Great service and there are plenty of options of drinks and other Italian food that can vary of what you’re craving. Also the cookies are filled with chocolate chips on every bite 🤌🏼

This is one of the better value priced options at the airport. It is located in the central food court which is very crowded at lunch. Pizza, calzone, pasta and a few salads. Nothing exceptional but decent for an airport. Portions are large. Wait is about 25 minutes for a canzone. All seating is in the food court.

As far as airport breakfast food goes, this is probably the best I have experienced. I have eaten breakfast at many airport restaurants. The customer service was friendly. The food was great. Ordered the breakfast calzone and a coffee. It was delicious. The crust was cooked perfectly. Had big chunks of filling. The only drawback, and I do not consider it a negative, the calzone had about a 10 minute wait to cook. It was definitely worth it.

People leaving reviews complaining about the prices must not fly much lol. Can’t beat made to order wood fired pizza at the airport. The service is fast, the food is good. Crust is light and airy. Toppings are plentiful. I wish more airports had a similar place to eat.

Very quick to order and 5-7 minute wait for a Calzone at 11:15a on a Saturday in late March. Food court area was relatively full/busy but seating for a single traveler was pretty easy. Live classical guitar filling the area was a nice bonus. Quick service for a tasty, made-to-order, fresh calzone is a pretty good stunt for an airport food court. Plus real cheese that stretched and stretched from my fork. No complaints. $19.75 including a 20% tip and tax.

The pasta tasted good. The portion size was adequate and the price was reasonable. Seattle airport seems to have many dining options that you could try.

Food was delicious. Pizza and cinnamon rolls en route to flight. When we visited on our last trip to seatac though, we were able to order ahead on their website. This time we waited in line and it did take a little while to receive food. My son us very picky when it comes to pizza and he said it was one of his favorites. The drinks to go were almost all warm though, not chilled so minus star for that and the wait time

Pros: Fast, friendly service Good location in central terminal Enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie - was large, soft and had a subtle almond flavor Lots of other pastries too Many options for pizza, pasta, etc. Entire menu available all day I liked that they used a traditional pizza oven instead of a microwave Cons: Liked the flavor of the Palomo pizza but it was way over cooked; cardboard consistency Pro tip: The standard pizzas look to have the nice, fluffy dough, but they are also higher in price. The pastas are worth a try.

Was hungry at the Seattle airport, while waiting for my flight to start boarding and stumbled upon this place. My boyfriend loves pizza and breakfast so we were on the lookout for either one of those places. We saw this place and decided to get in line and while waiting we noticed they offered breakfast pizza but that they stop serving it at 10:30am. When we got to the counter to order it, it was 10:25am and they still let him order the pizza. They sell breakfast sandwiches all day too, just in case you're wondering. Nonetheless, we ordered the breakfast pizza, coffee and a fountain drink. Ordering was easy. Service was great. And the ambiance was airport like, busy and noisy. The pizza was delicious. Best of both worlds of breakfast and pizza. Oh they were also selling cookies and pastries that smelled delicious but didn't get to try any this time.

It's 5AM and I just landed from Honolulu. 6 hour flight breathing the same air as everyone else. My body feels like it was beat up getting to the c gates. It's never ending. I need salt! I'm awake but my brain is asleep. PIZZA! Pallinos is damn good! I've gone to Italian restaurants and their pizza didn't taste this fresh. The staff works fast and stay friendly. Slinging sauce, dough and credit/debit cards. I hear my number on deck but the guy that took my order knows I'm ready for it! He just points and says "yours". The pizza was gone in 5 minutes. 10/10 highly recommend

Delicious pizza we ordered the Meat Lovers. Also tried a Snickerdoodle cookie. Service was good, friendly & helpful. Nice place inside Sea-Tac airport

Some friends and I had a 2 hour layover in Seatac. It was in the AM and we were hungry for breakfast. Pallino was located right where we found some vacant tables so I looked and ordered the breakfast calzone with meat. It was reasonably priced but I forget how much. What I do remember was how really delicious this calzone was. It was also huge so that I immediately knew that I would not finish it. It had the thinnest crust I ever had in a calzone. It was so delicious that I did almost eat the entire thing. If I ever get another layover at Seatac again I will be looking for Pallino again.

Honestly, this was great airport food- I would've been satisfied if I got this at a regular restaurant. I got the mac and cheese and it was so good - honestly one of my favorites that I've had from a restaurant out. The noodles still had a bite to them and there wasn't excess sauce. The sprinkle of breadcrumbs at the top gave a nice textural contrast. It was also enough for me to split into two meals so they didn't skimp on the portion. And a huge plus - it took less than 10 minutes to get my food after placing my order. I highly recommend the visit if you're looking for some simple pasta on a quick time crunch.

Bri F.

Yelp
Needed a quick bite during a long travel day. It was pretty busy and the staff we interacted with were pretty rude. Aside from customer service though, the Mac and cheese was decent and probably one of the more reasonable options in term of how much you get for the price. Service is not very quick and you really have to be paying attention when they're calling out orders since it's located in a busy area of the terminal.

Yelp
Second visit inside the airport. More pizza for me. This pizza is great and I take one to go. At 13.50 a great deal for inside the airport. Good size for one person. My criticisms: the price of a bottle water is pretty high - even for the airport. Tipping for service now is all over - but standing over customers is uncomfortable- as anyone who tips will tip - standing over to see if I do or not makes me NOT tip. Those two reduced a 5 star experience (for me anyway).

Yelp
Whenever we're in SeaTac this is our go to! Hard to believe you can get good airport food for a reasonable perfect. The food is made to order and they have LARGE pasta portions. The service has always been very friendly. And the seating area is open and refreshing. My kids love their pizzas too.

Yelp
I don't expect much from an airport restaurant outlet but Pallino actually provides a decent product for the hungry traveler. I ordered the calzone here and while not great, it wasn't the worst I've ever had either. The crust was slightly chewy and some people may like that, it's just not my preference. Overall a reasonable place to refuel and grab a bite for running to your flight.

Jennifer F.

Yelp
Big serving and filling, located inside Seattle airport ! A good stop if you are hungry . The price is not bad either. I can come back here if I fly to Seattle again :)

Diane H.

Yelp
Don't go there for breakfast sandwich, have no idea what the other meals may provide. One large bun (sor a supersized burger or meatballs I would guess), with 1 fried egg inside and some cheddar cheese. Even eating just the bottom bun to hold the cheese and egg, all I could taste was the bread. And for $17 (with a soda), I would have rather been hungry on my flight.

Review is for the take out experience a few days ago. A typical airport joint adjacent to the security gates. Before I catch my flight to Dallas, I wanted to grab something. Line was way too long. Thought of picking up pizza, but when I saw others getting their orders, felt the pizzas are not value for money. Instead picked up soup and some savory rolls. The rolls were decent, but the Minestrone was not as good as I expected. Paid $10.50 + tax for it, but turned out to be a disaster. The service was good. the lady at the counter was super friendly. 2 stars for the service and savory rolls!

This is the restaurant we have tended to stop at while in SEATAC lately. First time I got spaghetti, it was good. Sauce was zesty and flavorful. I believe I've had a pepperoni pizza of theirs, but last time (a week ago) I tried the Mac and cheese. I did not like the shredded parm and the breadcrumbs on top, it was super dry. But once I got past the top layer, it was creamy. It was a big portion and I only ate maybe half of it. Honestly I wouldn't get it again, but for sure without the breadcrumbs on top. Their pizzas seem to be the best bet at Pallino.

This Pallino is located in the SeaTac Central Terminal (Seattle-Tacoma International Airport at 17801 International Blvd). The food was good. I had the build your own calzone with pepperoni and sausage. It was a good size but could have used a bit more sauce. I think I would try another item like the pasta. My partner ordered Ivar's clam chowder that they carry. The service was fast with two employees manning two registers to keep the line moving. They were friendly, efficient, and overall experience was pretty good. Most time is when waiting for any oven backed items. Ambiance is totally airport food. It is positioned in a lovely food court with giant floor to roof windows for an amazing view especially at sunset. Cost for my calzone and no drink was $18.92 after tax. It was good, nothing incredibility notable, but hit the spot and pricing is inline with most airport meals.

*3.5 stars* Good brick oven pizza for an airport! Pizzas are done in 8 minutes. Just wish it was more filling- it's very light and mostly crust. I'll def still be hungry after this. Rounded up a star for nice customer service

Himani R.

We loved their pizza. The dough and how thin it is was perfect for us. After a long trip, it was nice to relax to some hearty pizza again.

Deann R.

Yelp
Pallino Pizza in Seattle Airport is delicious for pizza lovers. I tried their half pepperoni, half cheese pizza baked in a brick oven, and it was outstanding. The thin, crispy crust and generous toppings made each bite a delight. Despite the airport rush, the service was quick and friendly. The restaurant itself is like something you would find in the cafeteria pick up and go find a table is to sit at. If you're craving a perfect slice on the go, Airport Pizza is a must-visit!

Loredo L.

Yelp
We ate here on our layover from SMF to OGG. The menu had a large offering of pastas, sandwiches (including all day breakfast), calzones, and pizzas. I got the meatball sub which was delicious with the fresh tomato sauce, meatballs, and perfectly toasted bread. The thin crust pizzas were enjoyed by my family. The chocolate chip cookie and cannolis were very good.

Michael B.

Quality food at great price point. Friendly helpful service. Some of the better coffee in SeaTac and the breakfast pizza was enough for my wife and I. Highly recommend this airport spot

Barrett H.

Yelp
I had a mobile order ready on my phone when my plane landed at 8:50. My next flight boarded 30 mins later, so I figured I had just enough time to run down here, pick up my order, and get to my gate. I land, take my phone out of airplane mode... and online ordering is temporarily unavailable. Please don't offer online ordering if it's unreliable. Now I'm sad eating a bag of Tim's chips. Makes me unlikely to consider this place again.

Jeff B.

Yelp
Let's ignore the fact that you're paying high airport prices for food and focus on the food. This is good pizza. I have to dock one star because of the feeling of being rushed when placing your order. There's always a line, partially because SeaTac still has a lot of places closed due to construction thus limiting some food options. They are no-nonsense or really any niceties when taking your order. Add to the fact there was only one person taking your order, and you can feel the people behind you also wanting to just hurry up and order. Then, when using your credit card, you're suddenly forced to add a tip!? At least, I didn't see an option for "no". The lowest I saw was $1. Maybe the no option is there but is so small it's easy to miss? I saw in some other reviews afterward though they felt the same way. I tipped a $1 just to get out of the line. I did try to order online, but this particular day, it wasn't working, Other than that, this is good pizza.

It surprises me to see how this unassuming pizza place has risen above all its upscale, gentrified neighbors. Reviews are pretty consistently bad at SeaTac. The Capitol Hill food court. Skillet. Bad Egg. It definitely has the worst Chinese food I've ever had. I landed in SeaTac at 9 pm. There was quite a line at Pallino compared to Pei Wei and any other of the main terminal business that late at night. Maybe it's that big tile covered pizza oven or their amazingly efficient and quick service. This time I needed something easy to carry and less likely to spoil so I grabbed two Pizza Bianca for $8.25 each and some water. With tip that only sets you back ~$25. It comes in two boxes but you can stuff them both into one if bag space haunts you. I'm in STL almost 12 hours later and still enjoying their bread. I'll be back again and again. Just avoid the breakfast sandwiches if you're looking to ease your grease intake.

My kids opted for a cheese pizza for breakfast while we had a layover at SEA. Lots of options at the food court for this terminal. Pizza was cooked in a brick oven. Pizza was fresh and hot. The kids said it was delicious and it was a good size to share. Crust was a little burnt, but they ate the rest of the pizza. Was worth the price and would eat here again. We'll probably try another pizza with additional toppings next time around.

Ashley B.

Yelp
Had 2 hours in Seattle and found myself hungry. Surprisingly at 9:30pm almost everything is closed. Except for Pallino! (And Qdoba). Ordered a cheese pizza. ~7 minutes. Pizza is o.k. It could have used for sauce. But time and money - I would come here again. I do wish they could figure out how to give you a tray instead of a massive cardboard pizza box to just sit in the food court. When you pay, your are automatically taken to give a tip of 15% if you want "other" amount, it's kind of hidden in the bottom right of the tiny screen.

Steph R.

Yelp
Delicious - so light and fluffy. Just what I needed coming off of an international flight confused about what time it is and what meal I should be having. The mozzarella, tomato sauce, and basil are all very fresh and make for a nice, lighter pizza. Mangia bene!

Raquel C.

Yelp
Great pizza! Way better than what you'd expect at the airport. You can tell the dough is freshly made. Service was very quick and friendly. I wouldn't order the pasta here -- stick with pizza the quality is better.

Thompson H.

Yelp
Underwhelmed and pizza was not as great as hyped up to be. Asked for well done and it was not. Glad to take a tip but not willing to follow thru.

Allan O.

Yelp
Ordered the red pepper pasta with sausage and cannolis but everything was over charged and m not priced correctly on the board. Paid $20 just on the pasta with half that price being added for the meat and got buttered pasta and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Bad food, bad service, long wait. Avoid at all costs

Jon H.

Yelp
If you are looking for pizza in the Seattle airport, this will do! It isn't incredible but isn't bad... service is fast. The crust is fluffy and crisp from their pizza oven.

Chad R.

Yelp
I stopped in and grabbed a fountain drink because the line was short. Paid $3.95 for a 24 oz. Drink and then when I got to the dispenser it was out of ice. I asked if there was more ice and was told no, you'll just have to wait 15 or 20 minutes for the machine to make more ice. No option for a refund d was allowed.

Lynn V.

Yelp
Hit the spot for me for "airport food" the Margherita pizza was tasty and my son loved his penne with bolognese. The Ivar's clam chowder was the only disappointment. It was super thick and kind of gross actually with how thick it was. I couldn't eat much of it bc it felt like I was eating paste. But the other two items were good enough to fill our tummies before our flight :0) seating is in the big open area by the big windows so the kids could watch the planes.

V. O.

Yelp
Poorly ran. Either incompetence or stupidity. This is an airport and service is time sensitive. They took my order and lost it. Food handler looked fresh out of high school, looking lost processing orders. Stood there like 20 minutes and when I asked about my order he was clueless. Manager/supervisor or wannabee said he'd remake a fresh pizza in 6 mins or refund me but my young child needs to eat. Turns out my order was waiting on the counter all this time. Then the young worker tried to guess my order asking if a ordered 3 pizzas when I ordered 2. Beware because if you pay by card, they make you specify a tip first before paying for your food. Dont tip them. They have 2 cashiers, one for cards and the other cash only. I never thought of cash becoming obsolete. Avoid this wanna bee pasta place. No stars if possible.

The pepperoni pizza was amazing even my mom liked it I also got the tiramisu.

Best pizza in SeaTac. Their Food, their Service and Ambiance is fitting for an Airport. I eat there every time I depart from SeaTac.

William S.

Yelp
Had this during a 5 hour layover. The pricing is a little high but the qualoty of the food is incredible and totally worth it, they give a LOT for $12-17. I missed the entire service section because I told my Dad my order and scrambled through the airport to find a seat ANYWHERE!! But it was so good we just saved most and ate on the plane to Maui. Great place, beautiful visuals, I mean man how many place do you see advertise their new deals with a 1960s cinema sign

Earle D.

Yelp
There is nothing good about this pizza. Crust is flavorless, sauce is under-seasoned with too much tomato sauce, and the try to disguise it with too much cheese. Even with the brick oven, you get very little char. Just plain awful. Save your money.

Lillian M.

Yelp
Food is ok. Very minimal flavor. My sister and I got the margarita pizza and the fettuccine. The pizza sauce was very sweet and needed way more salt. The fettuccine tastes like butter and lacks any cheesy flavor. Not horrible, but I wouldn't recommend.

Byron H.

Yelp
Borderline uncooked bread, seriously boost the temp of the deck or train staff to let temps recover so your not sending out almost raw dough. Taste wise not bad but pizza is about the bread first so if your not cooking the bread properly then you fail.

Alisha R.

Yelp
For 730 am they were so so nice. Food came out promptly and was piping hot. Can not argue with this quality service and food coming out of an airport. Impressed.

Warren D.

Yelp
Date of visit: 3/8/22 Surprisingly decent breakfast bagel sandwiches during a relatively short layover in Seattle on our way home from Boise. The line was brief and the food didn't take very long. I had to ask for a bag for two sandwiches--not sure why that wasn't offered to me right away, but a minor quibble. Another ding to the score was the high price for what we received. I know we are a captive audience but $23 for two bagel sammies is quite high. The food did taste good and it met our needs, so I am being a little more lenient on the score here. It was not memorable enough to score a photo, though!

Brenden N.

Yelp
The worst / most expensive calzone I've ever had. . Would not feed this to a dog on the street

Jamieleigh W.

Yelp
I was hopeful when I read the reviews on the pizza that it couldn't fail and also the wait told me it was likely made fresh to order and all the ingredients were okay but I felt like overall there wasn't enough toppings to eat the bread with it. I could only eat the parts with cheese which was minimal so there was a lot left uneaten. But after the reviews I didn't trust ordering the pasta.

Juan M.

Yelp
Amazing pizza place, fast amazing customer service! Would 10/10 recommend this spot when traveling in or out of Seattle! Highly recommend Margarita with pepperoni pizza! I believe cashier name was Evelyn shout out to her for giving me the recommendation of pizza!

Rob S.

Yelp
Calzone was gross, under cooked and lacked flavors. The best part was the burnt crust on the edge. The middle was doughy and had a gross texture. I would not recommend this place.

Raquel C.

Yelp
Good pizza, way better than what you'd expect at the airport. Dough is freshly made. Service was very friendly and quick.

Brittney B.

Did take a picture of our pepperoni pizza but dang it was so good, even at 9:30ish am!!! Sometimes airport food is the best food...little gems all over the place! Eat here, crispy crust, tasty cheese, quick service, oh and there was live music!!

Nicholas W.

Yelp
They wouldn't let me leave without paying them a tip. I tried to pay with my credit card and when it got to the tip screen, I hit no tip (all the guy did was take my order). He walks away and comes back, says it didn't go through and to try again. I do the same thing again, and again he says it didn't work. Next time he sends another employee over and they point at the screen and say "you have to make a selection or else it doesn't work". I ended up putting a $1 so they wouldn't hold my food hostage any longer, and what do you know? It "works". Shady business. Shady manager.
