Sbarro

Food court pizza

Sbarro is an American chain of fast-food Italian restaurants, typically found in shopping mall food courts, airports, and highway rest stops.

Known for its pizza sold by the slice and other Italian-American staples like baked ziti and garlic knots: We grabbed Sbarro at the mall food court.

The name sometimes evokes generic, mass-market Italian food.
