                                  INTRODUCTION

            This Amendment ("Amendment No. 1") is being filed jointly,  pursuant
to Rule 13d-1(f)(1)  promulgated  under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended  (the  "Exchange  Act"),  by:  (i)  Mario  Sbarro,  individually  and as
co-trustee of the Trust of Carmela  Sbarro,  (ii) Anthony  Sbarro,  (iii) Joseph
Sbarro  and (iv)  Franklin  Montgomery,  as  co-trustee  of the Trust of Carmela
Sbarro  (individually,  a "Reporting Person" and,  collectively,  the "Reporting
Persons") to amend the Schedule 13D (the  "Original  Schedule 13D") filed by the
Reporting  Persons on January 22, 1998. The Original  Schedule 13D reported that
the Reporting  Persons had  presented to the Board of Directors of Sbarro,  Inc.
(the  "Company")  a proposal  for the merger of the Company  with a company that
would  be  owned  by  the  Reporting  Persons,  pursuant  to  which  the  public
shareholders  of the Company  would  receive cash for all shares of Common Stock
not owned by the Reporting Persons (the "Proposal"). The Proposal was subject to
certain  conditions.  As a result, the Reporting Persons may have been deemed to
constitute a "group" for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act.

            Amendment No. 1 is being filed to report that negotiations regarding
the Proposal have been terminated, as reported by the Company in a press release
on June 17, 1998. The Reporting  Persons  considered  themselves as a "group" at
the time the Proposal was made. The Reporting  Persons have no common intentions
at the present time and no longer consider themselves as constituting a "group".

            All terms used,  but not defined,  in Amendment No. 1 are as defined
in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 2(a) is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

ITEM 2.     IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

            (a)   This  statement is being filed jointly  pursuant to Rule 13d-1
(f)(1)  promulgated  under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange  Act"),  by: (i) Mario Sbarro  individually  and as  co-trustee of the
Trust of Carmela  Sbarro,  (ii) Anthony  Sbarro,  (iii)  Joseph  Sbarro and (iv)
Franklin Montgomery, as co-trustee of the Trust of Carmela Sbarro (individually,
a "Reporting Person" and, collectively, the "Reporting Persons").

      Information  with respect to each Reporting Person is given solely by such
Reporting  Person,  no Reporting Person has  responsibility  for the accuracy or
completeness of the information supplied by any other Reporting Person, and each
Reporting Person agrees that this statement is filed on behalf of such Reporting
Person only.

      Each of the respective Reporting Persons disclaims membership in a "group"
for purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act.

Item 3 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

ITEM 3.     SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

            Each of the Reporting  Persons (in the case of Franklin  Montgomery,
as one of two  trustees  of the Trust of Carmela  Sbarro) has held the shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned (excluding unexercised stock options referred to
in Item 5 below) by such Reporting  Person as reported  herein for more than ten
years.  As  described in Item 4, no  Reporting  Person has any present  plans or
proposals to make any purchases or acquisitions of securities of the Company.

Item 4 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

ITEM 4.     PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

            On June 17,  1998,  the Company  issued a press  release (the "Press
Release")  reporting,  among  other  things,  that  negotiations  regarding  the
proposal  by the  Reporting  Persons  for the  acquisition  of all shares of the
Company not owned by them had been  terminated.  The Press Release also reported
that the  Company  and its  investment  banker will  explore  various  strategic
alternatives  for  the  benefit  of  all  shareholders,  that  the  Company  was
continuing the suspension of dividends and that the Company's Board of Directors
will evaluate the declaration of future  dividends in light of  circumstances as
they exist at the time. Each of Mario Sbarro,  Anthony Sbarro and Joseph Sbarro,
as directors of the Company, concurred in the foregoing.

            Except as  reflected  in the Press  Release  with  respect  to Mario
Sbarro,  Anthony  Sbarro and Joseph  Sbarro in their roles as  directors  of the
Company,  no Reporting  Person has any present plans or proposals that relate to
or  would  result  in:  (i) the  acquisition  of  additional  securities  of the
Company's  shares  of  Common  Stock  from the  Company  or the  disposition  of
securities of the Company; (ii) an extraordinary corporate transaction,  such as
a merger, reorganization or liquidation of the Company; (iii) a sale or transfer
of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its  subsidiaries;  (iv)
any change in the present  board of  directors  or  management  of the  Company,
including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to
fill any existing vacancies on the board; (v) any material change in the present
