yeah -- after being stuck in stockton, ca (i.e., the armpit of CA) for a month now i can see why people who don't know better or have no better option would go apeshit over this place!
― Eisbaer, Thursday, 23 October 2008 04:19 (fifteen years ago) link
eh i mean most airports if they aren't new/updated have a burger king/mcdonalds, a sbarro and some type of "deli" place and maybe something "ethnic" like bad chinese or bad mexican and ill probably choose a hueg thin slice of pizza every time

they had those huge pepperoni slices with like goopy cheese and 20 pepperonis that weren't quite right but still amazing

Singularly spiceless food.

1. In many highway rest stops, the best dining option.2. Girl I liked in high school used to work there so I spent much time at the other side of the food court mooning towards Sbarro's. That leaves an indelible mark on you.

dispend the indispendable
if it's the only option = go for it.if there's a micky dee's = go for it over the sbarroif there is "any other fast food chain" available at the same time = go for it over sbarrosadly sbarro imo, has not even got the "passable status" of shakey's pizza or dominos pizzo, two of the lowest quality mass produced delivery pizza, while it still can equal a generic frozen dinner entree. imo, it's overpriced for the product produced. For what you get, go for the fatty fries at micky Dees and spend 1/2 the $$

yeah it's debatable. i prefer bad ny style pizza to bad whatever style dominoes is

I hear they make pizza with pasta on top? It's called pasta pizza.

I worked at sbarro in a mall for a while. Me and a coworker would go in the boss's office and climb a ladder to the cellar area (wooden shit) and smoke cigs. The best food there was probably the baked ziti but the cheese pizza was ok too (yeah it was greasy and floppy). Mind you this was 8 years ago. One time I was dusting the top of one of those glass hanging lights (behind the cash register) and I accidentally unscrewed it and it shattered all over the floor. the day I finally quit I stole $50 out of the register.... when I went to get the job back next summer they wouldn't let me because somehow they caught on.. I played innocent anyways.

When I worked a McDonalds I think a cockroach fell our of the bun fryer machine (you stick buns in and they slide out all toasted like). Well if it was a cockroach it certainly was toasted like.
When I worked at a dining hall some guy got a grasshopper in his coffee, wtf. He came to me to complain. I was like, "WHAT", maybe a little too loud, and then told him I would get the manager LOL
― CaptainLorax, Thursday, 23 October 2008 09:22 (fifteen years ago) link
i used to love sbarro so much until like age 20. i always made my parents stop at ramapo (or is it sloatsburg i dunno) rest stop because they had a sbarro, also there were lots of hasidic jews at that rest stop all the time and i always thought that was weird.

They are responsible for the garlic-butter scented miasma that I have to wade through every morning at the train station.
Also I got a stomach bug shortly after eating at their MSP airport location.
No love.

I mean, at 7:30 a.m.! People eat this for breakfast?

I do like their garlic knots ... such a seemingly simple thing that seems impossible for non-Sbarro places here.
― Eisbaer, Thursday, 23 October 2008 18:41 (fifteen years ago) link
it helps that garlic knots can be tasty when stale and oilsoggy.

i was going through a pile of recent receipts last night and i was all WTF when i saw one for sbarro. i haven't eaten at sbarro in years! i forgot i bought a vitamin water there a few weeks ago at 3am in the international terminal at JFK.

Sbarro is delicious in a shitty pizza sort of way, esp the sausage & pepperoni slices. I'm not ashamed.
Except for the one across from Penn Station; that thing is a portal to hell.

will sbarro be a casualty of the economic downturn?!? 15 Companies That Might Not Survive 2009
Sbarro. (Privately owned; about 5,500 employees). It's not the pizza that's the problem. Many of this chain's 1,100 storefronts are in malls, which is a double whammy: Traffic is down, since consumers have put away their wallets. Sbarro can't really boost revenue by adding a breakfast or late-night menu, like other chains have done. And competitors like Domino's and Pizza Hut have less debt and stronger cash flow, which could intensify pressure on Sbarro as key debt payments come due in 2009.

SBARRO. NOT PIZZA PROBLEM. CHANE STOREFRODS IN MALLS, IS DOUBLE WHAMY. TRAFFIC DOWN. CONSUBERS PUT AWAY WALITS. CAN'T BOOST REVANUE. CAN'T ADD BREKFESET OR LATE MENU. NOT LIKE OTHER CHANE. COMPEDIDORS LIKE DOMANO AND PIZZUT NO DEBT. STRONG CASH FLOW. INTENISY PRESSURE ON SBARRO AS KEY DET PAYMENTS COME DUE IN 2009.

Last meal I had at a Sbarro was a roadside highway rest-stop place and it was totally horrible, not at all like early 80s mall memories. Wretched!

Why can't they add a late night menu? Who doesn't eat pizza late at night?

there's a sbarro in union station, why don't they just move out of malls and to horrible transit hubs instead?

― max, Wednesday, 11 February 2009 03:14 (fifteen years ago) link
Aww, nostalgia. I remember discovering the joy of hanging out in a Dennys-like establishment. That's what Sbarro should do. Freestanding stores, 24-7 hours, cappucino instead of regular coffee and improved pizza.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 11 February 2009 03:16 (fifteen years ago) link
With my admittedly shabby knowledge of business, I'd assume that one of their main problems is that with all that debt they're probably not in a good position to experiment with entirely new restaurant models.

Why not a breakfast menu? I propose the breakfast pasta meal: a big congealed plate of fricking spaghetti with egg and bacon, sevred with a coffee.
