Description THE LEADING PIZZA-BY-THE-SLICE QSR BRAND
Sbarro has always focused on convenience. We’ve been serving handmade XL NY slices to customers on-the-go since 1956 when Carmela “Mama” Sbarro and her family opened the doors to their Italian delicatessen in Brooklyn. Their slices of New York-style pizza were so popular that they soon opened a second location at the King’s Plaza Mall in New York. More than 65 years later, Sbarro is now the global leader in the impulse pizza category. Sbarro offers XL Original New York pizza, handmade every day, with freshly prepared and stretched dough, hand-shredded 100% whole milk mozzarella cheese, and San Marzano-style tomatoes in a variety of venues. The award-winning New York pizzas, strombolis and other offerings can be found in retail spaces such as malls, casinos, airports, universities, convenience stores and travel plazas.
Our operating procedures along with our economical business model make high traffic venues a natural fit for Sbarro. Our quality pizza and stromboli generate strong sales and entice customers to return.
The Sbarro family sold the business in 2007 and the company is owned today by David Karam who joined Sbarro as the CEO and chairman of the board in 2013. Under his leadership, Sbarro has undertaken numerous key initiatives including revamping the logo to emphasize the iconic XL Pizza Slice, renovating existing mall locations, streamlining the menu, and expanding Sbarro’s footprint globally through new locations, new venues and third-party delivery. 95% of people around the world love to eat pizza. When we’re operating in high-traffic venues and people walk by who are even remotely hungry, our beautiful, abundant displays of food will capture transactions and satisfy our guests.
