If you are comparing pizza and restaurant franchises, here are five things that set Russo's apart.
1. Gourmet New York-style pizza
Fresh dough, the right flour for a true New York-style crust, sauce from California-grown tomatoes and 100% mozzarella from a Wisconsin dairy farm.
2. Gourmet fresh pasta
A real Italian kitchen with fresh pasta, house-made marinara and pesto, and hand-rolled meatballs. It gives guests a reason to visit beyond pizza.
3. Four revenue streams
Dine-in, takeout, delivery and catering all run from one restaurant, so you can serve your neighborhood in several ways.
4. A chef-founded system
Chef Anthony Russo opened Russo's in Houston in 1992 and began franchising in 1999. The standard has not changed: "If it isn't fresh, don't serve it."
5. Training and support
Site-selection guidance, hands-on training at the Houston flagship, launch marketing support and technology setup, as described in the FDD.
Results vary. Review the FDD, including Item 19, before making any decision.
