How Do You Pronounce Sbarro?
Posted by pink on December 27, 2009
Sbarro is a popular pizza restaurant, not only in the Philippines but all over the world. This American food chain specializes in Italian cuisine. A few weeks ago, my sister and I decided to eat in Sbarro (SM Megamall branch). She was asking me “How do you pronounce Sbarro?” Do you say it as “is-ba-ro” or “si-ba-ro”? Is the “s” at the start of the word silent? The first time I ate there, I told her I also got curious about the pronunciation of the restaurant’s name.
From what I know Sbarro is the last name of the founders of the said restaurant and it’s pronounced as zah-bahr-ro. Correct me if I am wrong. But however it’s pronounced, I really love their pizzas especially the Chicago Supreme.

Sbarro makes some really amazing pizza!
speaking of sbarro, the “Italian” way of pronouncing this is with no vowel in between the ‘s’ and the ‘b’. And, actually, the ‘s’ in this context becomes a ‘z’..=)
