I don’t know. I live in New Orleans and they had a Red Lobster in the suburbs and someone is trying to put Chick Fil’A restaurants all over town. (The someone is literally a guy who got rich via owning a garbage truck company.)
Tourists like shitty fast food sometimes. I don’t know why people get the worst fried chicken in the city but people do. Some toddlers throw a fit if their dinner isn’t chicken nuggets.
I personally know people that think sbarro (and Olive Garden as a proxy) is on par with “other pizza” as its own thing. Those people recognize it’s not “real pizza”; they just like it for what it is.
There’s a fucking Sbarro in NYC? Why?
Sbarro was founded by two Italian immigrants in Brooklyn, they were probably real NYC pizza at one point

For the same reason there’s a TGI Friday in time square. McDonald’s. Olive Garden. It’s there for the tourists that rather have their slop.
But fake NY pizza in NY? Just go to literally any local. It’s not like a Sbarro in Kandahar, that I’d get, but this still makes no sense.

I’ve been here my whole life and, honestly, we don’t know either. But The Office made fun of it when Michael went to NYC!
