Inside our recipes
We cook with extra virgin olive oil instead of seed oils. Olive oil from Sicily is part of the Russo's ingredient story, bringing traditional Italian flavor to our kitchen.
This is our kitchen cooking-oil standard, not a certification that every purchased ingredient is seed-oil-free. Ingredient and allergen questions should be checked with the restaurant.
Our dough is made fresh in-house with premium flour and extra virgin olive oil. Handcrafted preparation gives New York-style pizza its thin crust and characteristic fold.
House-made gnocchi, lasagna and family recipes bring the experience of an Italian family kitchen to the menu.
Pasta varieties, specialty dishes and product availability vary by restaurant and market.
Kitchen-prepared marinara, pesto and family sauces bring tomatoes, garlic, basil and herbs into the meal.
One kitchen. Two menu anchors.
A New York-style pie for sharing. A pasta entrée for dinner. One chef-driven menu for different occasions.
From Margherita to chef-created specialty pies, pizza gives the Russo's menu its New York-style foundation.
Homemade pasta, gnocchi, lasagna and scratch-made sauces bring the chef's family kitchen into a restaurant menu. Availability varies by location.

Franchise candidates should evaluate how kitchen training, staffing, preparation and local demand support each channel. A broader menu is an operating responsibility as well as a food story.
Four sales channels do not guarantee demand, revenue or profit. Required recipes, approved suppliers, training and owner obligations are defined by the applicable franchise documents.
