Pizza chain Sbarro files for bankruptcy

^ I wonder if the Avenues location survives the cut.

I travel a lot and see Sbarro in a lot of airports............................  It's no wonder they're bankrupt - people aren't going to pay $10+ for lukewarm pasta, frozen pizza, and brown, wilty salads. Ew.

I think that's where they may keep their remaining locations open - for the travelers. Not just the airports, but a lot of the travel plazas on various turnpikes have them too. Mall locations are pretty dead, but when you're on the road and need to stop for fuel and food, sometimes you just have to take what you can get that's open and serving.
Even if it's a $10 plate of lukewarm pasta *shudders*

It seems like they are doing pretty good there, patronage-wise.

Sbarro in years past was more known as an Italian buffet and they still offer a limited buffet today.

As far as the pizza goes, I have had some bad pizza in my days and Sbarro isn't that bad. However if you stop by at 345 when the lunch batch has been on the warming table for two hours then yes, it isn't the best.

If you stop by during lunch when everything is fresh, it's adequate.

^^^I think that you're on to something about going around lunch time. I've been on both ends of that spectrum at the Avenues; Lunchtime, it was pretty good, and afterwards I was like what happened?
