Sbarro

Pizza Cucinova

The new two-unit Sbarro concept serves Neapolitan-style pizzas that are made to order and baked in high-temperature ovens fueled with gas but with wood added for flavor. Prices range from $5.85 to $11.50. The menu is rounded out with salads, desserts, craft beers and wines.

2016 Top 500 restaurant chains

More than half of the restaurant industry’s $491 billion in sales come from the Top 500 chains. And these giants grew at a modestly stronger rate, both in terms of sales and store counts, than the industry overall. Restaurant Business focused on the leading 250 performers to identify trends for our first-ever special report delivering lessons from Technomic’s annual Top 500 Chain Restaurant Report. This special package includes lessons for all operators from the largest chains by segment, menu category and more.

In a recent Technomic survey, customers reveal which restaurant chains offer the most craveable pizzas that they can’t get anywhere else.
