And maybe that's one of the reasons why I'm not as harsh on Sbarro as a lot of people seem to be.\n\nEveryone hates on Sbarro. And if you're going to compare it to my beloved wood-fired pizza joints, then sure, it's kind of a joke. But Sbarro is merely mall \"food court food\" - and I don't feel standards are very high to begin with.\n\nRealistically, a giant slice of pizza, side of pasta, and drink for eight bucks is really no different than what I'd pay at the drive-thru of most fast food restaurants. Not that I'm saying that their food is anything spectacular, because it isn't. But despite what everyone claims, neither are all of the \"fast casual\" pizza joints that everyone is currently obsessed with.\n\nOr maybe I just have a soft spot for Sbarro-ish pizza places that bring back fond memories of my teenage years of wolfing down greasy pizza and playing arcade games back when malls were more culturally relevant.\n\nBottom line: It's not that bad. And if I'm going to lash out at a restaurant that fails to deliver in what's promised, I'd rather conserve that energy for a place more deserving of it."^^ . . "3"^^ . "1"^^ .
