Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen chef Anthony Russo said: “We know our guests are looking for healthier ingredients.  

“Russo’s New York Pizzeria is the best choice for made-to-order pizza and pasta, prepared with fresh, healthy ingredients. We’ve been keeping our family promise since 1978: If it isn’t fresh, don’t serve it.

“We want to be the best pizzeria in town, and that means offering fresh, high-quality ingredients in every dish.”  

Russo’s uses only the finest ingredients such as extra virgin olive oil and fresh herbs and vegetables.  

Its pizza dough is made from premium all-natural flour, and its pizza sauce is prepared fresh daily using Italian herbs.  

Russo’s menu also features other Italian fare. The Old World Pepperoni Pizza is crafted with cup and char pepperoni, ricotta cheese, Wisconsin mozzarella and Pecorino Romano on a classic white sauce.  

Burrata Dip offers fresh homemade burrata cheese drizzled with local organic honey and crumbled pistachios.  

Gnocchi Burrata features house-made potato gnocchi topped with slow-cooked marinara sauce and homemade burrata cheese. 

In October 2023, Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen opened a new location in Mesa, Arizona, owned by franchisees Keven Barth and Phuong Thai.
