Sbarro

I was at the mall a few days back and decided to have lunch here wih my son, it was my first time trying Sbarro’s. Cheese pizza, roast potatoes, baked ziti.
The pizza was ok… everything else was gross. The ziti had no flavor, and was just generally off-​putting. Idk how they managed to make roast potatoes soggy, but they did, and it was not pleasant. They tasted gluey and soggy.
It’s fast food. so i get that it’s not meant to be 5-​star… but come on, this was ridiculous! If i’m ever there again. will skip out and try something else.

One word: N A S T Y. Expect diarrhea and food that tastes like yesterday’s leftovers

This place is meh but I suppose you kind of know what you’re getting. I have actually never tried Sbarro but tonight I’m out of options staying at a nearby hotel and grossed out by other options. My advice is if you can stomach the garlic, go to Maoz vegetarian instead. Looks way fresher, healthier, and clearly the most popular option. Thin crusts here only in vegetarian and cheese, with a massive salt overload.

I stopped by here for a snack during a shopping trip at Fashion Outlets of Chicago.
It’s fine. The slice of supreme deep dish pizza was a big size. 1 slice was shared between 2 people with a side salad and a soda. The caesar salad with caesar dressing had too much dressing. I appreciate how the server used the tongs to pick out more croutons for us, though. There was one colorful chicken veggie salad as part of the side dishes that looked really yummy but if I wanted it as a combo, I would have had to pay $ 1 more and for such a small size (like a handful) it wasn’t worth it to me.
The line is pretty quick around 1:30pm on a Saturday. I wish my pizza slice could have been warmer and the cheese oozing. It seemed like the pizza had been sitting there for a while under dry conditions. The pizza was yummy, though, and so was the soda. I paid $ 10.79 for a combo shared between 2 people and it was a-​ok.

Standard Sbarro’s in the mall.
The pizza is good. It’s not the best ever, and not the worst. I think it’s consistent with other Sbarro’s that I’ve been to. They always have a variety of pies to choose from, but sometimes the toppings I want isn’t always on thin crust, which is my fave.
I must say that I enjoy their salads and pasta more than the pizza. However, skip the lasagna. It’s not good at all. It tastes like it was frozen and improperly thawed. The meat was terrible and not cheesy. I’ve had better microwave lasagna.
For the food only, I would give this place 3 stars. But the additional star is for the service. I also work in this mall and every employee there has always been nice. I’ve witness them being so patient with the rudest of customers. Good job staying calm Sbarro!
