I'm not sure why I only took a picture of the closed box and not the pizza slice itself, but that's probably because it didn't look particularly good. It didn't taste particularly good either. Either Sbarro has gotten worse over the years or my memories made it seem better than it ever really was (probably a bit of both, to be honest), but either way, I was unimpressed to say the least.
A Sbarro pizza slice that doesn't look and taste good sounds like a typical Sbarro experience from the past to me! It appears that Memorial City Mall in Houston as a Sbarro, but given the infrequent number of user reviews online, I wouldn't be surprised if it is not long for the world like the freestanding suburban Sbarro locations that opened and closed rather quickly a couple of years ago.
ReplyDeleteMost mall pizza places are not very good, but are very expensive. A couple local malls had good local pizza places, Brothers Pizza at the now-comatose Greenspoint Mall and a place whose name I can't remember at the now-dead Northwest Mall. Brothers Pizza is probably still operating at a non-mall location after they closed at Greenspoint Mall given their immense popularity, but if so, I've never been there.
The Chinese food place at Northwest Mall did relocate to a different shopping center after NW Mall closed about five years ago and they even moved their neon mall sign to their new location! Also, check out those old 1970s school chairs! Link: https://goo.gl/maps/cCSrgaCePdHWvtE39
Yeah, I figured as much... most chain pizza places don't seem to be all that great in my experience. (The only exception is Mod Pizza, and I've been eating there since before they became a big national chain!) At least Sbarro didn't seem too massively overpriced, at least by Seattle standards.
DeleteThat's pretty cool! I know there were still some chairs like that hanging around when I was in high school -- I guess they last forever!
