Sbarro

I actually don’t care for Sbarro pizza. It’s too expensive and tastes like Chuck E Cheese pizza. The value isn’t there at all. This location should be run a lot better. There was barely any pizza to choose from and the worker seemed thoroughly uninterested in answering my questions. Since I didn’t read the menu I got one slice and it was significantly more than I expected, even though I tried asking how much was this particular slice of pizza. For what I paid I could go get premium pizza not mall food. I will not be returning.

I’ve eaten here several years ago and got severely sick with food poisoning. I should’ve listened to my body but was hungry and they’re open after 2:30. I ate there yesterday and again got food poisoning throwing up all night.

This was the worst Sbarro I have ever been to. The staff was rude, the food was awful and greasy and everything was way over priced. The staff doesn’t seem to know what they are doing or even how to cook properly. The pizza was horribly greasy; it took three napkins to get most of the grease off. There was a ton of chopped garlic in the pasta (which was sitting in a pool of water) which made the pasta absolutely disgusting. No one should ever eat here and this place should be shut down.

Meh’s thinks not. I haven’t been here in years since I don’t work downtown anymore. There wasn’t a big selection of pizza at 1:30 in the afternoon. I asked twice for a certain slice and was given another. The guy behind the counter wasn’t paying much attention. I wish he would have mentioned that he had another pizza in the oven. I’m not fond of BBQ chicken but it was between that and veggie. For what you get I would say it’s an okay value. Just wish there were more options.

I love Sbarro in general. However, this one at the LA Mall wasn’t the same like back home.
First of all, I had a coupon for a free pizza slice if I bought a drink. That didn’t work because this place is franchise-​owned. Which sucked because that was never labeled on their site (even if you go to
redirects you back to the main site). I said «screw it,» ripped the coupon to shreds, and ordered some slices.
The stuffed pizza with pepperoni, sausage, and bacon was good. The crust was a bit doughy for my standards, but the meat tasted awesome! I also ordered a regular NY Slice with pepperoni and jalapeño. However, that tasted more like cardboard than the last Sbarro I went to. The cheese too didn’t taste like the real thing. Again, the only good thing was the meat.
Don’t come here. Unless ur in the City Hall area and desperate for food that only consist of pizza… this ain’t the joint to dive in.

Here goes… well I was on a late lunch break and decided to go the LA Mall for a quick bite. Given the fact that I had had good experiences with Sbarro in Manhattan, I thought that this might be good too, right?
WRONG.
Once I got there it was empty of course because the lunch rush had passed. I decided to go for a slice of pepperoni pizza with a Caesar Salad. To start off, my slice of pizza was cold despite the fact that she had put it in the microwave to re-​heat it. The Caesar Salad had nothing special about it. It was just basically lettuce with parmesan cheese, with one or two Croutons. The pizza was horrible, really bland and the pepperoni tasted as if it were artificial and just placed on the pizza.
In sum, there is nothing attractive nor special about this place. I don’t think that I’ll ever come back. Definitely not for the pizza or salad. You’re probably better off at the frozen section aisle, at the market!
But if you really want good pizza and don’t mind paying more, go to Pitfire Pizza down a couple of blocks on Main Street. Now that’s really great pizza! and is more like a pizza you’d find in the NYC!

I went back. Still a somewhat friendly staff. But disappointed that there is no packets of cheese. It’s inconvenient to use a cheese shaker when the pizza is «to go».

Okay, Sbarro is Sbarro right? WRONG!!!
Never come here during the lunch rush (12 – 1) b/​c the line is out the door.
Sure, they have their tantalizing posters advertising their specials:
$ 5.98– Roasted Chicken w/​Vegetables (yea, making it 2 cents under 6 bucks would make me want to buy it more!) FREAKIN’ SAY 6 BUCKS!!!
Then once you order it, they ask you, «Sauce on your chicken?» Add another 50 cents and you need to add a drink which is $ 1.89 (small) So you are looking at an 9 buck meal!
Next you have the $ 6.79 Slice of NY or Pan Pizza, Choice of side dishes, and 16 oz. drink… okay, if you are looking for a quick pizza fix, I suggest you get this with the side salad… don’t order the bread sticks b/​c they will dupe you an additional 50 cents for the marinara sauce.
I normally order the Stuffed Spinach & cheese pizza… I only eat half b/​c their slices are huge. and hello, spinach– detox!!!
It is 1 of the more popular spots hit by jurors & city workers… but as I reminded you earlier– TRY TO AVOID THE LUNCH RUSH!!!

I only usually come to this «mall» when I have to run an errand. I regrettably took the $ 5.99 chicken combo flier was in front of my face as I was walking down and decided to stop by and pick up lunch.
I came back to the office and since the chicken was rough and dry, I know now why the vegetables and potatoes were lumped on the same tray as the chicken. Most likely leftovers from a prior day.
I’m pissed.

I’ve found Sbarro to be a nessessary evil, lurking in almost every mall and the subterranean Los Angeles City Mall is no exception.
This Sbarros is set apart from the rest of the food court in it’s own unit, a small space that grows crowded with the lunch rush.
I’ve eaten there twice during jury duty and given up. The service was quick and efficient; they’re probably used to handling tons of customers, but the quality of the pizza (sorta okay-​ish) was uneven on both days.
Going to Sbarro’s seems to require one of those knee-​jerk, I-​want-​pizza-​now sort of reactions and I succumbed to it’s shrill siren song.
At its best, Sbarro’s has satisfied my pizza jones, but since my last two visits, I’ve learned to cover my ears.
