"I don't think I've ever met anyone who says they have a craving for Sbarro, yet whenever I walk past it in the food court, I can't help but take a second look. Reminded of my chunky uncle who always grabbed a slice at the mall, I decided to give Sbarro a try and was pleasantly surprised. The pizzas are reheated in the oven when you order, and they warm up precooked noodles for the spaghetti. The prices are a bit steep for what you get, but the service is friendly and quick.
**Stuffed Broccoli and Spinach Pizza:** 4/5
I often spot this pizza but rarely see anyone ordering it. Oddly enough, it’s not even listed on Sbarro's website. This pizza is stuffed with cheese, likely mozzarella and ricotta, along with spinach and tender broccoli. Its flavor is quite mild, with the broccoli being the dominant taste. The top crust has a lovely, almost crispy texture, and since the pizza is mild, you can truly appreciate the crunch of sesame seeds. I really enjoyed this one and would order it again if I had a craving for Sbarro.
**Spaghetti and Meatballs:** 2.5/5
The noodles were very soft, but not overly mushy. I prefer softer pasta, so I found the texture acceptable, but I can see others finding it unappealing. The meatballs, on the other hand, were quite good—meaty and moist with a tender texture, though flavor-wise, they fall short compared to places like Olive Garden. Because the noodles are warmed in a water bath before serving, there was a soupy mess at the bottom of the bowl. The sauce leans towards the acidic side and has a texture similar to canned crushed tomatoes. While it's not a memorable flavor, it's surprisingly not diluted despite the extra pasta water.
**Potatoes:** 2.5/5
This is another item not mentioned on Sbarro’s website, yet it always catches my eye at the steam table. They look like they would be flavorful, but they taste just like plain boiled potatoes. If you’re in the mood for potatoes, these will satisfy that craving, but I still question why they offer potatoes as a side.
**Breadstick:** 3/5
This came with my combo meal, and it was decent. A tad dry, but packed with the savory seasonings you'd expect from an Italian American restaurant."
