Score
Sbarro's appears in inspection records 18 times, starting in 2010. Inspectors last stopped by on Jan 12, 2022. A low risk rating suggests inspectors haven't found much to be concerned about lately. Note that Sbarro's's inspection history hasn't been updated since Jan 12, 2022; current conditions may have shifted from what the file shows.
Performance has remained roughly level over recent inspections, averaging near seven violations each time.
When inspectors have written things up, “physical facilities installed, maintained & clean” has been the most frequent reason, cited nine times.
Compared to other Chicago restaurants (averaging 81), there's room to close the gap. Overall, the inspection record reads well.
