sbarro is good airport food

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!

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

ive never seen sbarro outside of a food court situation though

aka food ghetto

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

i knew i would be able to count u among sbarro supporters

i know you knew!

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.

3. nabkin dispender

dispend the indispendable

if it's the only option = go for it.
if there's a micky dee's = go for it over the sbarro
if there is "any other fast food chain" available at the same time = go for it over sbarro
sadly 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 $$

oh come on now

i dunno if dominos is better...

.....

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

Shitstyle

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

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.

every morning at the train station

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

mooning towards Sbarro's

good username option

I do like their garlic knots ... such a seemingly simple thing that seems impossible for non-Sbarro places here.

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.

lol

we are all sbarro

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!

aw man, i would kill to read a financial analysis that's written like a T✧✧@K✧✧.E✧✧ post.

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

Malls close too early.

ohhhhh...

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

Who was still going to malls, even before the economic doomsday?

13 year olds who haven't discovered hanging out in denny's

my understanding is that the state of minnesota has recently been converted into a mall

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.
