Get a 'pizza the action' - slices of pizza for 15p at Sbarro in Colne

Slice away the January blues with this nostalgic deal

January is often a challenging month financially, following the expenses of Christmas and New Year celebrations.

In fact, January 20th is commonly referred to as Blue Monday—a day when many feel the weight of the post-holiday financial strain, with payday still a week or more away for most people.

To lift the mood, renowned pizza chain SBARRO is offering its famous New York-style XL pizza slices for just 15p at its Colne, Lancashire store.

This incredible promotion will take place on Saturday, January 18th, from 12pm to 8pm. It’s a tribute to the company’s heritage, harking back to its beginnings nearly 60 years ago, when hungry New Yorkers could grab a slice for just 15 cents. The offer is exclusively available at the SBARRO outlet located at Silk Way Business Park, Whitewalls Drive, Colne, BB8 9FJ.

A spokesperson for Sbarro shared: “We understand how tough this time of year can be for many, so we wanted to make things a little easier by offering our New York-style XL pizza slices at the pocket-friendly price of just 15p. This initiative embodies the spirit of our founders, Carmela and Gennaro Sbarro.

“Back in 1956, they opened their Italian salumeria in Brooklyn, New York. Carmela ‘Mama’ Sbarro’s pizza slices quickly became a hit with shift workers seeking a quick and delicious meal. The popularity of her pizza led to the opening of a second location solely dedicated to pizza. Today, there are 630 Sbarro restaurants in 28 countries.

“At our Colne outlet, we’re honouring Mama Sbarro’s legacy by offering the same high-quality pizza slices at the nostalgic price of 15p, just as they were in 1956. It’s our way of giving back to the community and brightening up a gloomy January day.”

The term Blue Monday was originally coined by a travel company to describe what they claimed to be the most depressing day of the year. With the festive season firmly in the rear view mirror, credit card bills arriving, and summer holidays still months away, it’s no wonder people feel a little down.

However, with a 15p pizza slice in hand, you can certainly find something to smile about. To appreciate the value of this deal, consider some typical prices from 1956 (source: retrowow.co.uk):

• A gallon of petrol (approximately 4.5 litres) cost around 5s 4d, or roughly 29p—the equivalent of £6.50 today.
• A pack of 20 cigarettes was 25p.
• A pint of beer was just 2p.
• Butter cost a penny, a dozen eggs were 3p, and the average house price was just over £2,000.

While we can’t bring back those prices for everything, you can enjoy a taste of nostalgia with Sbarro’s New York pizza slices for only 15p. Don’t miss this one-day-only offer in Colne on Saturday, January 18th. (Terms and conditions apply).
