Lewis said: “Russo’s offers a unique menu with over 18 premium handmade pizza varieties, including our favourites such as the prosciutto & burrata pizza, truffle mushroom pizza and the pesto chicken pizza.
“Furthermore, their selection of Italian classic pasta dishes made fresh to order using all-natural ingredients truly sets them apart.”
Lewis added that the brand has tremendous growth potential in the New Caney region.
