I've been to a lot of bumfuck locations across the United States for basketball and let me tell you that assuming the local pizza in said locations is automatically better than at Sbarro is not even close to being true. Same with Chinese food.

Does Sbarro exist outside of malls or rest areas? It seems odd to even compare it to the dominos, Papa Johns, etc just because of availability.

I had a slice when I was in school and hungover waiting for the Amtrak at Union Station back to NYC. It was servicable in a pinch but the fact that we have a thread claiming it is great is a low point of the suque.

It still blows my mind everytime I am near MSG and see the Sbarro there. How the hell do they get enough business to pay for a location like that? How can tourists be that dumb to eat there when in NYC?

yeah I don't eat pizza in Greenville, SC.

Pizza is an intricate food where the ingredients have to be very fresh for it to be good. It's not going to work if mass produced or frozen. You're likely to survive eating a pizza at Sbarro's but I wouldn't call it good or very passable food.

In my book, if you're in a location that is just desolate for food options I always go with a burger and fries. It's hard to mess that up.

You are misreading or being willfully ignorant. It's being discussed in the context of fast food options--no one is saying it's great.

It is only in malls/ mall type places. I remember reading when the economy sucked that sbarro and au bo pan or what ever that place is called were struggling tremendously cuz fewer people were going to malls.

Also, au bo pan sucks. I never understood why people went there. My mom and sisters used to always go there, i went across the way to sbarros everytime. Their chef is salad is the one redeeming item and that orangeade they sell is funky.

ive definitely eaten there while waiting for the bolt bus.

So no joke people actually do eat the pizza at Sbarro? that is bonkers.

I got some waterfront property in Pennsylvania to sell you guys.

upon further review, i am probably not the best food critic. i had a turkey and swiss sandwich from 7-11 for dinner last night. riskiest thing i've ever eaten was a tuna salad sandwich at port authority in nyc waiting for a bus.

is your property on a lake or stream?

Ocean front.

I wouldn't even call it a fast food option unless you spend way more time on I-95 or in malls than the average person. You can't compare it to other fast food places because it doesn't have nearly the convenience of any of those other places since it doesn't offer delivery like the other chain pizza joints and it isn't within a few miles no matter where you are like the McD's, Wendy's, etc.

is it in Erie?

That gyro place like 2 doors down is pretty good. Plus, you should know about the Penn Station pizza and beer joints by now.

On the river? I'll take it!
