Sbarro (2201 Kalakaua Avenue Royal Hawaiin Centre)

A Waikiki Quick-Stop Staple

Positioned right in the heart of the Royal Hawaiian Center, this Sbarro serves as a functional pitstop for tourists and locals wandering through the bustling shopping corridors of Waikiki. If you are navigating the high-energy sprawl of Kalakaua Avenue and need a calorie-dense break without the sit-down fuss, this is where you go.

The New York Slice in Honolulu

The scent of bubbling mozzarella and toasted dough hits you before you even reach the counter. They stick to the classic formula: oversized, floppy New York-style slices that satisfy that specific craving for greasy, dependable comfort food. The pepperoni slice remains the go-to order, typically characterized by a generous layer of savory meat and a crust that holds its own under the weight of the cheese. They also keep the display case stocked with Stromboli, which offers a denser, doughier alternative to the standard thin-crust triangles.

Atmosphere and Reality

Expect a casual, fast-paced environment where the primary sound is the hum of shoppers and the clatter of plastic trays. Since it sits within a high-traffic urban mall, seating can get competitive during peak lunch hours. Be prepared to navigate through crowds of beach-goers and shoppers when finding a spot to eat. It is not designed for a long, lingering dinner, but it excels as a convenient fuel source while exploring the vibrant Honolulu storefronts. It’s a straightforward, no-frills experience that does exactly what it promises on the sign.
