As mentioned by someone earlier, somebody has also franchised the Sbarro pizza chain in Russia. They were running a 29 ruble (about 90 cents) special on cheese pizza last week, which is quite cheap for recognizable food in Moscow. Again, you're probably going to stop in.
Well I went to Moscow, loved every minute of it. We did not ONCE go into a McDonald's. We ate at the Hilton and street vendors. Excellent food all over the place. The cheapest food was probably the french hot dogs with spicy mustard.

Now the Ukraine is another story. Good food was farely scarce.
