Sbarro – Irving & Harlem Plaza
Today, Friday, October 10, 2025, around 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., I had one of the worst customer experiences I’ve ever had at any restaurant — and it happened at this Sbarro location in Irving & Harlem Plaza.
When I walked in, the place was completely empty — there was no one else at the counter and no customers ordering pizza. After what I experienced, I can clearly understand why. I truly believe people stay away because of the rude attitude of the employees working there.
I went in with excitement to celebrate National Pizza Month after receiving an official promotional email directly from Sbarro corporate. When I asked the employee about using the coupon, she immediately told me, “We don’t accept any discounts or coupons in this store,” in a very rude and dismissive tone.
The young Spanish woman at the register was completely unprofessional and disrespectful toward me. The man, another Spanish employee who was making the pizzas, was also cold, unpleasant, and clearly uninterested in helping customers. Both of them acted as if customers were a problem instead of people they are supposed to serve. Their behavior was humiliating and completely unacceptable.
It’s a shame that Sbarro corporate sends out national promotions to loyal customers but allows certain locations to refuse to honor them. That kind of inconsistency destroys customer trust and damages the Sbarro brand.
I left that store angry, embarrassed, and disappointed. If this location cannot follow corporate promotions or treat people with basic courtesy, Sbarro corporate needs to step in and take action immediately. The woman at the register and the man making the pizzas should not be working in customer service — their behavior was disgraceful and unprofessional.
I will never return to this Sbarro again, and I truly hope that corporate looks into how this location operates and who they have representing their brand. Customers deserve honesty, respect, and fair treatment — not humiliation and rudeness.
What makes this even worse is that Sbarro corporate itself continues to send promotional emails encouraging customers like me to visit their stores, only for those same stores to reject and embarrass us when we try to redeem them. This is not just a failure at the store level — it’s a corporate problem that needs immediate correction.
As a loyal customer who once respected this brand, I feel completely let down by the company as a whole. When a customer walks in with trust, expecting the promotion sent directly by corporate, and is treated with such arrogance and disrespect, it reflects not just on that store — it reflects on the entire company behind it.
Sbarro corporate, I strongly urge you to take accountability and ensure that all your locations honor the same promotions you promote nationally. Sending marketing emails to customers and then allowing your stores to deny them is misleading and unethical. It sends a message that the company values profit over honesty and has no respect for the people who support it.
Until serious changes are made at this Irving & Harlem Plaza location — starting with retraining or replacing the staff — I will be warning everyone I know about this experience. A brand’s reputation is built by how it treats its customers, and this Sbarro location has shown the worst example possible.
After my friend bought our pizza ( which didn’t taste fresh or good ) she gave us our change in a rude manner dropping it on the counter. She just seemed annoyed and bothered.
So rude.
Missing flavors and salt.
Never again, highly not recommended
