Why New York-Style

Pizza is Better

Rooted in Italian-American tradition and NYC street culture, New York-style pizza stands out from the rest with its thin crispy crust, bold tomato sauce, and melted mozzarella. It's served in oversized slices meant to be folded and devoured. Unlike deep-dish or overly thick crusts, New York-style pizza is light enough to eat on the go but still packed with flavor. It's simple, satisfying, and delivers that classic pizzeria experience that just hits different—every. single. slice.

A Brand Promise to HelpYou Succeed and Grow

As the original New York-style pizzeria rooted in authentic Italian recipes, Russo’s has been delighting customers for over 25 years. People love and trust our scratch-made pizza, handcrafted pastas, and wholesome Italian comfort food.


As a Russo’s franchisee, you’ll bring a time-honored menu to your community, backed by a proven business model, comprehensive training, and dedicated support from a team that treats you like family.
