Sbarro Schaumburg

This is the best place in the entire mall if you are looking for a bite to eat. Great tasting pizza and a very good selection for a reasonable price. The service was fast and friendly. The restaurant could use some upkeep but over all it is very good.

Sbarro is probably my most favorite fast food place, and since this particular one is closest to me, I'll share my thoughs on it here. Now, as to the menu, I love when it kept simple, yet made really tasty. That's all about Sbarro. Combo of a stromboli or a pizza slice with a salad or a pasta on a side, when these are made really good, is a great substitute for usual sandwich/burger with a fries on a go. My favorite here are pepperoni/cheese stromboli and Hawaiian pizza. Speaking of pizza tho, it is a thin-crust perfectly goldened pizza, and I prefer theirs over most famous pizza chains. As to the sides, pasta is made al-dente and they'll get you as much marinara as you like (and it's good, try it). Salads are quite simple, but all the veggies are always super fresh, you can tell employees here watch them well. I also want to mention, that they warm up everything before serving in specialized conveyer oven (even though it has been stored on a warm surfaces), as well as the pasta in hot boiling water. Nice approach! Service seems great to me at this particular location. Workers always smile, serve nice and fast. Once I walked into men's bathroom and saw the floor drain broken and filthy liquids were coming back out of it. As soon as I reported this to the crew, they send a couple of people to clean it up and take care of it the very same moment. One last thing, I love their strawberry lemonade; the strawberry syrup they use to make it is so good, it even has just a slight bit of pulp in it. Not like the ones you tried made of mixtures, try it!! My only concern here is their exhaust system. It needs to be cleaned/changed/upgraded, because if you dine in at the time they cook a lot, all of your clothes will get that oily greasy heavy-duty kitchen smell. I can stand it, but if you're going to meet other people after visit, I'd rather take care of all the stuff in advance.
