Sbarro - Oceanside-Escondido

I usually come here with my family and the food is ok for what it is but today when I came by with my sister, Natalia was working register and she was so nice and welcoming compared to the regular atmosphere. You need more people like her.

One of the worst pizzas I've tasted in my life, the dough is super bad, it looks like soaked bread (as if it had just been defrosted), raw and chewy, the cold tomato sauce, it would lift the piece of pizza and all the ingredients of the bread and sauce would fall out. high price for what it is. They delivered the pizza burnt and cold One of the worst pizzas I've ever tasted, the dough is super bad, it looks like soaked bread (as if it had just been thawed), raw and chewy, the cold tomato sauce, it would lift the piece of pizza and all the ingredients of the bread and the high price for what it is. They delivered the pizza burnt and cold.

The bad reviews seem to be from prior management. The current management can be a little slow but the food is great for the price and environment (remember, if you want restaurant quality food, go to a restaurant). My favorite thing to get is a stromboli and pairing it with watermelon juice from the fruit drink stand located one floor below.

Went for a slice of pepperoni pizza on 5/28/22 and end up with food poisoning!!! 6 days later and still sick! Stay away

Food: 3.5/5Service and Setting: 3/5Value: 2.5/5I don’t know a single person who says that they are craving Sbarro, but we all give it a second glance when we enter the food court. Remembering that my chunky uncle always ate Sbarro when we went to the mall, I decided to give them a shot and was pleasantly surprised. The pizzas are all reheated in the oven when you order and they even reheat precooked noodles when you buy spaghetti. The prices were pretty high for what you get but the service was friendly and speedy.Stuffed Broccoli and Spinach Pizza: 4/5I always see this pizza but never see anyone get it. Even on the Sbarro website, they don’t list it. Very odd. This pizza is stuffed with cheese, I believe mozzarella and ricotta, and has spinach and tender broccoli. The flavor is very mild and the broccoli is definitely the main thing that you taste. The top crust has a lovely, almost fried texture, and because the pizza is so mild, you can really taste the pop of sesame seeds. I really enjoyed this and would get it again if I ever had a craving for Sbarro.Spaghetti and Meatballs: 2.5/5 The noodles were very soft, but not quite mushy. I personally like softer noodles so the texture was passible for me, but I can see how this would be a bad experience for others. The meatballs on the other hand were quite good and for a lack of better terms, meaty. They were also moist and had a tender texture, but flavor wise, perhaps a step down from somewhere like Olive Garden. Because the noodles are warmed in a water bath before serving, there is a soupy mess at the bottom of the bowl. The sauce is on the more acidic side and has a texture akin to crushed tomatoes out of the can. The flavor is not memorable, but surprisingly not diluted even with the inclusion of stray pasta water.Potatoes: 2.5/5Again, another item not listed on Sbarro’s website, but something I see every time I check out the steam table. They look flavorful but in reality, taste like plain boiled potatoes. If you are feeling in a potato mood, these would definitely satisfy that craving, but I still wonder why they have potatoes as a side.Breadstick: 3/5This came with my combo and it was good. A smidge dry, but has all the savory seasonings you would come to expect from an Italian American restaurant.
