Sbarro Restaurants, India

Delhi food circuit is long deprived of an authentic Italian food joint. Breaking the clutter of QSR’s failing to deliver us with sumptuous Pizzas, is Sbarro Restaurants in the city. The flavours and aroma of the authentic New York Style pizzas is delivered beautifully by Sbarro. They are currently operational with two branches in Delhi- NCR.

My tryst with Sbarro began at their very interesting campaign previously done by the brand. They introduced the concept of Man V/S Pizza and used Social Media brilliantly to collaborate with bloggers and test their ability to eat giant pizza slices in a stipulated time limit! Read more about Man V/S Pizza here.

Hand tossed and fresh dough, with toppings of fresh ingredients makes Sbarro my favorite for a quick meal. Also, I love how they have customized few flavours to cater to the Indian taste buds. It is indeed commendable to bring Indian flavours and aroma while keeping  the authenticity of their signature style of pizzas intact.

Located at two most convenient locations of the city, Connaught Place and Huda City Centre, Gurgaon Sbarro enjoys a huge crowd from both working professionals and youth. Easy to reach both by metro and car, Sbarro enjoys good walk-ins of their NY style pizzas.

Apart from ease of location and lively ambience, Sbarro also delights us with three variants of pizza crust – New York, Pan Crust and Stuffed Crust.

Corporate chef Rahul Gladwin Massey heads the Sbarro outlet in NCR, and strives to stick to the original international menu with only a few minor additions of pizzas for Indian Palate. Rahul is an eminent name in the hospitality sector and holds an expertise in the Indian culinary industry.

FOOD

Veggies Delight Pan Pizza

Veggies Delight Pan Pizza

Veggies Delight Pan Pizza: This combination is a treat for vegetarians. It is indeed a rarity for a dedicated chicken lover like me to appreciate a vegetarian pizza that much. As much as I was excited to see a Broccoli on my giant pizza slice, the flavour alleviated the joy to next level!

New York Style White Cheese Pizza

New York Style White Cheese Pizza: Apart from Mozzarella, Sbarro also offers a variant with my favorite Ricotta cheese. A pizza slice with oodles of Cheese, yet so light and oil free? Yes, that shall take time to sink in. Feast on this slice and you won’t be disappointed to miss out on those crazy spicy toppings!

Stuffed Chicken Makhni Pizza

Stuffed Chicken Makhni Pizza

Stuffed Chicken Makhni Pizza:  Kudos to Sbarro for having kept their authenticity intact despite of customizing to spicy North Indian flavours in this one. This pizza slice has succulent, and perfectly marinated chicken pieces stuffed between the two layers of dough. The tangy sauce, and the generous quantity of stuffing simply makes this one my favorite!

Tomato Basilico Pasta

Tomato Basilico Pasta: The tangy Red Sauce Pasta tastes delicious with the toppings of shredded Cheese, Corn and Olives. It is a little less on the spice quotient and lighter as compared to pizza slice. Also, watching it being made at the live pasta station alleviates the taste of the dish to another level!

NY Pepperoni

NY Pepperoni: Sbarro holds an astounding record of having a generous quantity of 9 pieces of juicy, perfectly cooked, and aromatic bacon on one slice! The sight is itself a visual treat for the eyes and nothing less than a foodgasm. One slice is enough to take away your appetite! Highly recommend you to try this and perhaps thank me later.

To end your meal on a sweet note, Sbarro also offers two delectable varieties of desserts.

New York Cheesecake

New York Cheesecake: Gooey, fresh and definitely a must try for people with a sweet tooth. The crispy biscuit base is the highlight. It is a fresh change from the usual desserts offered at restaurants.

Fudge Nut Brownie

Fudge Nut Brownie: Because meals that end with a scoop of chocolate are often the best ones! Fudge Nut Brownie topped with chocolate sauce sounds like an intelligent addition to the menu keeping it light and delicious.

Man V/S Pizza at Sbarro, CP

Sbarro recently organized the Man V/S Pizza contest at its outlet in Connaught Place on 14th May, 2015. Held by pairing techies and pizza-lovers in teams, the fierce battle saw 8 teams of bloggers match wits and eating skills to consume maximum amount of pizza in 10 minutes flat.

Beyond the fresh ingredients, variety of toppings and charcoal-kissed thin crust, it’s the authentic flavour of New York style pizzas that remains the most remarkable thing about Sbarro.

Being an ardent pizza fan and a social media enthusiast, it was a pleasant surprise to be chosen as a participant of first of its kind Man V/S Pizza contest. I was elated to put my social media skills and love for food at test in this delightful competition.

Gluttony Goddess @ Sbarro Man V/S Pizza

Me with the my foodie partner ( Team Spicy Paneer )

There were 2 members in each team where one was the foodie and the other was the techie.  The thrill factor of the game lay in the 10 minutes that were given to the gourmets to finish eating the pizza and emerge victorious in the competition.

Tweeting #SbarroManvsPizza

While the foodies were grilled on their love for the sumptuous pizzas, the techies were tweeting about #SbarroManVSPizza and posting about the contest during the same time.

Within no time, the atmosphere was brimming with enthusiasm, excitement and fun! More than a competition, this event served as an interesting gastronomical adventure for both foodies and their partners!

The Winning Team ( Salts & Sandals)

The winners were presented with the grand ‘Sbarro Hamper’ that included goodies & participants were gifted brand merchandise.  This one-of-its-kind event was an interesting initiative to bring together bloggers and influencers and make efficient use of social media to leverage the brand’s digital presence.
