Exhibit 99.1

Sbarro, Inc. Announces Results of Operations for the Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 27, 2010

MELVILLE, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 13, 2010--Sbarro, Inc. (the “Company”) announced results of operations for the second quarter and six months ended June 27, 2010. The Company’s detailed results are included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which was filed with the SEC on August 11, 2010.

Second Quarter Financial Results

Revenues were $76.1 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2010 as compared to revenues of $80.1 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2009. The decrease in sales is due to a decrease in comparable-unit sales of $4.5 million or 6.2% in our QSR restaurants and lost sales from stores strategically closed of $1.4 million, partially offset by sales generated by new stores opened, remodeled or relocated in 2010 and 2009 of $1.9 million. Domestic franchise restaurants performed better than company-owned restaurants with a comparable-unit sales decline of 0.9%, mainly due to shifts in the university semesters as compared to the prior year. The decrease in company-owned and domestic franchise comparable-unit sales primarily reflects continued reduced consumer spending throughout the United States as a result of the current economic environment. Without consideration for foreign currency fluctuations, international franchise comparable-unit sales increased 4.1%. The valuation of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies added an additional 3.9% increase in international franchise comparable-unit sales.

EBITDA, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Company’s bank credit agreements, was $6.3 million for the quarter ended June 27, 2010 as compared to $8.2 million for the quarter ended June 28, 2009. The decline was primarily the result of the decline in company-owned comparable-unit sales and an increase in commodity costs during the quarter, specifically cheese, partially offset by payroll and other cost savings initiatives.

As discussed in Exhibit A, EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes is an important metric for us to report to our investors, as we consider it a helpful additional indicator of our ability to meet future debt obligations and to comply with certain covenants in our borrowing agreements which are tied to this metric. Exhibit A includes a reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss, which is the most directly comparable financial measure under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Exhibit A also identifies adjustments to EBITDA that are provided for under the Company’s bank credit agreements.

Year to Date Financial Results

Revenues were $155.1 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to revenues of $159.7 million for the six months ended June 28, 2009. The decrease in sales is due to a decrease in comparable-unit sales of $5.4 million or 3.7% in our QSR restaurants and lost sales from stores strategically closed of $3.6 million, partially offset by sales generated by new stores opened, remodeled or relocated in 2010 and 2009 of $3.9 million. Domestic franchise comparable-unit sales declined 3.0%. The decrease in company-owned and domestic franchise comparable-unit sales primarily reflects continued reduced consumer spending throughout the United States as a result of the current economic environment. Without consideration for foreign currency fluctuations, international franchise comparable-unit sales increased 5.8%. The valuation of the U.S. Dollar relative to foreign currencies added an additional 7.0% increase in international franchise comparable-unit sales.

EBITDA, as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Company’s bank credit agreements, was $14.3 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to $17.3 million for the six months ended June 28, 2009. The decline was primarily the result of the decline in company-owned comparable-unit sales and an increase in commodity costs, specifically cheese, partially offset by cost savings initiatives.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Company’s bank credit agreement at June 27, 2010.

Nicholas McGrane, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of Sbarro, Inc. commented, “Our results for the second quarter of 2010 continued to be impacted by the general economic slowdown still present in our operating environment. We are focusing on top line performance to strengthen results in the months ahead while continuing to balance our cost control initiatives.”

Sbarro, Inc.
EBITDA Reconciliation
Quarters and Years to Date Ended June 27, 2010 and June 28, 2009
(unaudited)

EBITDA represents earnings before interest income, interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA, as calculated under the Company’s bank credit agreements, includes certain additional adjustments, as set forth in the reconciliation that follows. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income, cash flow from operations or other cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or as a measure of a company's profitability or liquidity. Rather, we believe that EBITDA provides relevant and useful information for analysts of, and investors in, our Senior Notes due 2015 (“Senior Notes”), and our lenders as EBITDA is one of the measures used in calculating our compliance with certain financial ratios in the indenture governing our Senior Notes and in determining compliance with certain financial covenants under the Company’s bank credit agreements.

Our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure reported by other companies, since all companies do not calculate this non-GAAP measure in the same manner. Our EBITDA calculations are not intended to represent cash provided by (used in) operating activities since they do not include interest and taxes and changes in operating assets and liabilities, nor are they intended to represent a net increase in cash since they do not include cash provided by (used in) investing and financing activities. The calculation of EBITDA under our bank credit agreements and under the indenture governing our Senior Notes may differ, because of differences in the definitions contained in those two documents. We provide a calculation of EBITDA under our bank credit agreements because we are required to satisfy a quarterly financial measurement that uses EBITDA as a compliance metric. Our indenture does not include a similar quarterly compliance covenant.

The following tables reconcile net loss attributable to Sbarro, Inc. for the following periods in 2010 and 2009, respectively, to EBITDA as defined in the Company’s bank credit agreements for the same periods. We believe that net loss is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to EBITDA. All amounts below are in thousands.
