"**Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Service and Setting: 3/5
Value: 2.5/5**
It's not often that someone craves a meal from Sbarro, but the sight of it in a food court can certainly grab your attention. A wave of nostalgia hit me as I remembered my hefty uncle who always made a pit stop at Sbarro during our mall outings, so I decided to give it a chance—and I was pleasantly surprised. When you place your order, the pizza is freshly reheated in the oven, and the pre-cooked noodles for the spaghetti are also warmed up. Although the prices seem a bit steep for what you receive, the service was friendly and efficient.
**Stuffed Broccoli and Spinach Pizza: 4/5**
This pizza is often spotted but rarely ordered, and oddly enough, it’s not even mentioned on the Sbarro website. It is filled with mozzarella and ricotta cheeses, along with spinach and tender broccoli. The flavor is mild, with broccoli standing out as the main taste. The crust on top has a delightful texture that's almost fried, and the mildness allows the sesame seeds to shine in flavor. I genuinely enjoyed this pizza and would happily order it again whenever I'm in the mood for Sbarro.
**Spaghetti and Meatballs: 2.5/5**
The noodles were soft but not mushy. Personally, I enjoy softer pasta, so I found the texture acceptable; however, others may not agree. The meatballs were hearty and flavorful, with a moist, tender texture, although they might not possess the same depth of flavor that you’d find at a place like Olive Garden. One downside is that the noodles are heated in a water bath, leading to a soupy accumulation at the bottom of the bowl. The sauce tends to be on the acidic side and has a consistency similar to canned crushed tomatoes. While the flavor isn't particularly memorable, it surprisingly maintains its potency even after adding some pasta water.
**Potatoes: 2.5/5**
This is another item that's not listed on Sbarro’s website but is always available on the steam table. They appear to be flavorful, but in reality, they taste like plain boiled potatoes."
