Goodbye, Sbarro

[ruxCYtable]

Went there for lunch today in CR. Manager told us they just found out this morning they're shutting down. Said close up tonight and don't come back. 153 stores closing today which appears to be about 15% of their total operations.

Ahhh Sbarros. Loved you as a child, wouldn't think of eating you now as an adult.

 

[Rhoadhoused]

Damn. That's my favorite authentic New York Style pizza place......

Oh no! How will I ever get a Roast Beef with a side of pizza without combination Arby's/Sbarros?

 

[isufbcurt]

Dang I love eating there

Sbarro is the greasiest topside of a pizza I've ever had, and I'm obsessed with pizza...it's not necessarily a bad thing because other pizzas stick out for much worse things.

I usually laugh at people who pat the top of their pizza off with a napkin thinking they're doing some significant change to the nutrition of the food...but with Sbarro it has to be saving some major calories.

 

[Rabbuk]

Where oh where will I now find pizza every city block in Chicago.

 

[00clone]

I don't even know where Sbarro is in CR....perhaps why they're closing...

Edit: And apparently there's 2 in IC...had no idea.

Lindale mall has one.

Give me your top choices to cross reference with mine.

Thin crust: Piece in Wicker Park
Deep dish: Pequod's in lincoln park and morton grove
authentic woodfired: Sono in lincoln park or the new gigantic Eatily place downtown

Ugghhh...here's to you Villa Pizza to pick me back up.

 

[Wesley]

Eating Sbarro is like getting an oil/grease change for the bot.

Let's be honest, every damn mall has one.

I'll admit I have patted a slice of pizza before, but it has nothing to do with hoping to save a calorie or two, getting a mouth full of grease just isn't appetizing to me. Not to mention, I have OCD when it comes to my hands not getting greasy, it's just a preventative measure to make my slice of pizza more appealing.

Although it takes a lot of grease for me to do this. Enough that it's pooled up in the pizza. Pizza should be greasy, just not dripping with it, imo.

 

[TRZA]

Why can't we have nice things?

 

[Daserop]

Let's be honest, every damn mall has one.

Marshalltown mall doesn't have one...It doesn't have many stores in general.

I lived on the South Side! Ain't nobody got time to be trendy near northsiders.

If there is a Sbarro's that is not:

1. In a mall food court

or

2. In an airport

I've never seen it.
