Sbarro

In the height of lunch rush hour, this place serves cold, flavorless pizza. And at five bucks a slice, it’s a major ripoff.
Some Sbarros serve at least edible pizza. This isn’t one of them. Pass.

Worse than microwave pizza — even worse than the store brand. The crust was mushy and moist, and the cheese was not close to being melted.

Though it may be the nation’s most recognized food court pizza chain, it doesn’t necessarily mean any of the locations are any good. Located at the Maryland Travel Plaza, this Sbarro awkwardly is situated beneath a giant painting of Abraham Lincoln. I’m sure honest Abe wouldn’t be down with a slice from these guys.
And while it’s true I come from a land where Pizza is critiqued to death, it’d be equally true few New Yorkers would ever entertain the thought to pay any money for pizza like this. Before you label me as a hypocrite, just know my slice was free. Plus, I hadn’t had a real Sbarro pizza in years.
There is something really interesting about the sauce and cheese, I can’t put my foot on it. The distinctive cheesy flavor is reminiscent of all Sbarro slices, with just a little tang from the sauce and mild odor of a bacon like parmesan.
Whatever the case, there are better options at the travel plaza. This is just cheap (read: overpriced) imitation New York pizza.
