Get to Know the #1 Quick Service Italian Restaurant

Franchising History
Sbarro has a rich tradition of excellence that it shares with its customers, employees and franchise owners. Italian immigrants Gennaro and Carmela Sbarro achieved their dream of owning a successful business in the United States when they opened the original Sbarro delicatessen. Fifty years later, Sbarro is the #1 Italian quick service franchise in the world.

The same Old World values that helped grow the company from a single location to 1,000 restaurants are still present today.

We are now joined by hundreds of franchisees, professional staff and restaurant workers, and we pride ourselves on maintaining a close-knit family culture.

Where we are today
Sbarro is a household name that customers know and trust. Our brand image is among the strongest in the industry and is synonymous with delicious and authentic Italian food at a great value.

Sbarro currently has franchise opportunities in many sought-after markets, and the success of every Sbarro restaurant owner is important to all of us. For this reason, restaurant training, design assistance and marketing plans are the first steps we take to help you as a new franchisee.
