A slew of new restaurants are open at O’Hare International Airport, just in time for a surge of spring-break travelers.
The Chicago Department of Aviation estimates more than 3.36 million passengers will stream through O’Hare and Midway International Airport between March 20 and 31, a 4% increase from 2024. Friday was O’Hare’s busiest day, with Midway’s peak expected to come on Saturday.
The latest eateries include an Italian sandwich spot and several pizzerias. Here’s a look:
• Pronto Sandwiches is in Terminal 1 near Gate B14. The restaurant, which started in Hinsdale, features schiacciata, a handcrafted flatbread. Sandwiches are named for Italian celebrities, such as the “Stallone” with prosciutto, fontina cheese, olive spread and baby spinach.
