Pittsburgh International Airport Welcomes New Eatery

FINDLAY TOWNSHIP, PA — The revamping of Pittsburgh International Airport dining options continued Thursday with the grand opening of Sambazon, an acai and smoothie shop. Sambazon is a recognized leader in organic and fair trade certified acai.

Airport officials said that Sambazon brings travelers a fresh, healthier dining option, reinforcing the airport’s commitment to offering more nutritious and diverse meal choices. The addition reflects the airport's ongoing efforts to cater to the growing demand for better-for-you food options while enhancing the traveler experience.

Sambazon's front counter typically displays an abundance of fresh fruit toppings — strawberries, banana, blueberries, mango, and pineapple — in addition to nutrient-dense nuts and seeds, and açaí bowl staples such as granola & coconut.

Pittsburgh is Sambazon's latest airport location behind recent openings at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in October and at Pensacola International Airport last month.

“We are beyond excited to bring Sambazon's nourishing acai bowls and smoothies to travelers at PIT," Sambazon CEO Ryan Black said in a release.

The airport is welcoming more than 15 new concessionaires as it prepares for the new Landside Terminal opening by year's end.

Other new brands opening later this year include Mineo’s Pizza, Shake Shack, Jimmy John’s, Wexford-based coffee and tea house Café Conmigo, breakfast restaurant Bad Egg, modern deli Stack + Press Delicatessen, Mexican restaurant Mi Casa Cantina and others.
