"If it isn't fresh, don't serve it. That's the Russo's family promise! From Naples and Sicily, the Russo family brought their Old World traditions to New Jersey and then to Texas in 1978. From the early age of 12, Anthony Russo spent time with his family and other influential Italian chefs, learning how to prepare that fine Italian house made Lasagna, Fettuccine Alfredo, fresh hand made mozzarella cheese, Italian house dressing made with balsamic vinaigrette aged 12 years imported directly from Italy.

I have had pizza here twice now (Cedar Park location) and it’s the best pizza I’ve had in the Austin area! I did take out both times but the short interactions I had with the staff was great!

It's a cute little place that honestly deserves more credit. There wasn't a wait & we sat ourselves! The waiter was very attentive and got everything out to us really quickly. We ordered wings & a Caesar salad with a medium vegetarian pizza! The salad and wings were amazing! The pizza was sooooo fresh, my mouth watered looking at it! I would definitely come back and recommend to everyone! Can't wait to come back and try something new! More...

I haven't had a good New York style pizza in years, and this place definitely does it right. Not only was the atmosphere pleasant, but you can tell the ingredients are fresh. The customer service was exceptional as well. More...

My search for the best slice continues as My wife and I plow through the list of competitors for Pizza Week in Tampa Bay. We are half way through and hit two more joints today . My review is for pizza only.Russo's makes one hellava pizza pie. This is the reason I am on this search. I keep hoping the next guy will knock my socks off! Well, I am looking for my socks...The pie was beautiful (said wit a New York accent). This is the real deal. Way too many people claim to have New York pizza and don't. These wise guys came with the full arsenal. We ordered the New York Village.The crust was thin as it should be for a New York pie. It was the perfect width with all the toppings reaching to the edges. The crust flavor was spot on, bread-sticks made of this crust would kill. The perfect mix of crispy and soft center. Not the big dough ball some places throw at you.The toppings were excellent. It had the right flavor profile for a city pie. Good sauce, great tasting meats, fresh shrooms and top quality cheese rounded out this piece of art. These guys just took the lead.If your looking for a great slice of New York, Russo's on Gulf to Bay Blvd has your back. More...

I had dinner here with a group from my church on Fat Tuesday for the first time. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming! We were served a buffet, so had the opportunity to try a variety of dishes. Sandwich trays, chicken pesto pasta, pizza, salad, and cannolis. Everything was delicious! Really enjoyed the sandwiches and pasta though.We had no issues finding parking either, which is always a plus in Houston :) More...

What a great pizza place. Yes I know tons and tons and tons of pizza places but this place is awesome. Let me explain why. I am a sans club member and sams club has this deal where you buy $40 and you get $50 in gift cards. It's just a totally awesome deal. So yeah I hit up Russo's on Westheimer. Just as a point of clarity- only the corporate restaurants accept these gift cards not the franchisees. It's annoying because when I complained to the corporate they said they had informed and the franchisees have a contract agreement. More...

Great experience here! The service was excellent and the food was just as great! They give you bread and oil to start off with, but there's also tons of appetizers to choose from as well. Their garlic knots were superb!! I ended up getting the baked ziti which tasted excellent, it wasn't too cheesy or doughy to where it overwhelmed the pasta dish itself. Their pizza's are one of my favorite places to order from especially for a big party. Their lunch specials are also great if you're ever in the area or nearby. More...

Every time I've ordered from here I've been impressed with the food especially considering they're open so late and the quality always seems on point. Their tiramisu is actually really good and the pizza is better than most places I've ordered from in Houston. I also recently had their vodka sauce and it tasted like something you would get from a more expensive Italian restaurant. It seems like the other reviews have to do with service and not the quality of the food but I've never had any issues with the service and I eat here frequently. More...

Had lunch there yesterday for the first time. The place looks like a NYC pizza restaurant, with lots of pictures and other memorabilia. Lots of dark wood and booths for seating. The place smells like great Italian food, which is wonderful. I was also impressed with the menu selection. There were prepared samples of some of the menu items on the counter where you order your food. The person who took our order was very polite and helpful, and the food was prepared quickly and brought directly to our table. Food was great, and the prices were reasonable. Looks like they have a wide selection of wines, and happy hour every day.I'm looking forward to returning to try some of the other items on the menu! More...

I’ve ordered from Russo’s Pizza several times in the last few months. Their service is excellent. They go far out of their way to take care of their customers. It’s simply the best pizza I’ve eaten in Memphis. The crust is crispy and perfectly cooked. The homemade sauce is vibrant and fresh. The other toppings are all top notch in freshness. Best motzerella sticks I’ve eaten in years. If you’re looking for something different in Memphis give them a shot. It’s worth every penny. More...

Ordered thru Yelp app with grub hub and order was messed up with the must fill out categories and came with pesto sauce instead of tomato sauce. Russo's made a new one and sent it out without waiting another hour. Little inconvenient to get thru it all with a little 3 year old that wants everything his way to "T". But they did right thing and took care of me. Little one was happy and the world didn't come to an end. More...

I had gotten takeout before but I finally stopped by Russo's for the dine-in experience. I came with a coworker on a Tuesday for lunch. Unlike other pizza joints, Russo's is definitely a comfortable dine-in experience as it's a large restaurant with plenty of seating. The decor and ambiance are nice and gives you an Italian vibe. I was happy to see that they have a bunch of lunch specials. Pizza, soup and salad combos, pasta dishes, etc. We decided to split a large one-topping pizza for $13.99. Pretty good deal!We went with a pepperoni pizza. They start you off with some complimentary garlic bread. It wasn't the best but hey, it's free! The pizza wasn't out of this world but it was good. I'd definitely come back to try one of their pasta dishes. Added bonus: 15% off by checking in! More...

Overall: Good food and good service experience.
Details: We tried calamari, hot wings and 2 pizzas... The MARGHERITA pizza was not the typical style and it lacked flavor and that was not fresh mozzarella cheese, can’t recommend that specific pizza.
The NY VILLAGE was delicious, flavorful and hearty with a generous portion of meat and veggie toppings. As for the appetizers, the hot wings were large, fresh and good crispy crust and we liked them very much! The calamari, was rubbery, pass on that.
