A fast-food restaurant in Colne is giving away pizza slices for 15p this month.
On January 18, Sbarro, at Silk Way Business Park, is introducing the deal to beat the ‘January blues’.
Customers will have the chance to grab a bargain-priced slice of its New York-style XL pizza, between 12pm and 8pm.
This is a homage to the company’s roots, when it set up almost 60 years ago and sold pizza slices to hungry New Yorkers for just 15 cents.
The offer is valid only at the Sbarro outlet at Silk Way Business Park, in Whitewalls Drive.
A spokesperson for Sbarro said: “We know how tough things can be for a lot of people at this time of year, so we wanted to make life a little easier for people by selling our New York-style XL pizza slices at a small-change price of just 15p, in the spirit of our founders Carmela and Gennaro Sbarro.
“In 1956 they opened the doors to their Italian salumeria in Brooklyn, New York. Carmela ‘Mama’ Sbarro made pizza slices for shift workers looking for a quick meal.
“Her slices were so popular that they soon opened a second location focused solely on pizza, and now there are 630 Sbarro eateries across 28 countries.
“So at Colne we decided to do what Mama Sbarro did… selling the finest pizza slices at the same knock-down prices that they were in 1956.
“We’re giving people who visit our Colne outlet the Sbarro quality for just 15p a slice.”
