Forge Pizza Opens In Oakland Airport’s Terminal 2

OAKLAND, CA — Travelers at Oakland International Airport (OAK) can now enjoy a local favorite with the opening of Forge Pizza in Terminal 2. The new eatery, which began serving customers in mid-January, is the latest addition to OAK’s Food and Beverage program, marking the thirteenth new restaurant to open since 2021. The restaurant is operated by SSP America.

“OAK is proud to welcome Forge Pizza to its ever-growing list of new restaurants introduced with our new program,” said Port of Oakland Director of Aviation Craig Simon. “We’re proud to incorporate a local Oakland business like Forge to help travelers truly feel like they are in the East Bay when they fly OAK.”

Forge Pizza first opened in Jack London Square in 2013 and has been a staple of the Bay Area food scene. The restaurant, known for its artisanal pizzas and wood-fired cooking, will relocate to Oakland’s Rockridge neighborhood later this year.

The airport location features a menu with breakfast options, a full bar, and a selection of local beers, wines, and craft cocktails. It also offers $10 and $15 value meals, making it an accessible option for travelers.

“Providing a taste of place with iconic, local restaurants is our signature dish,” said SSP America Vice President of Business Development Nicholas Schaefer. “The Forge has been a force in the Bay Area food scene for more than a decade, and its inclusion at OAK will give travelers a taste of the West Coast inside the terminal.”

Located post-security near Gate 26 in Terminal 2, Forge Pizza is now open daily. Its arrival highlights OAK’s continued commitment to offering high-quality, local dining experiences to travelers passing through the airport.
