Texas-based upscale casual brand Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen has opened its fourth location in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia . Located at Park Avenue Mall, its 2,400-square-foot, two-story Pizzeria serves Russo’s full Italian menu including New York style pizza and pasta.
Since 1978, Russo’s Founder and CEO, Chef Anthony Russo has been serving his original family recipes from Naples and Sicily, including a giant, signature pie measuring 28 inches known as the party pizza.
“Our unique menu items are what sets us apart from the rest. The Russo family promise, ‘If it isn’t fresh, don’t serve it,’ remains as true today as it first did in 1978,” Russo said. “We follow the same process in every location, both domestic and international.”
The menu includes salads, burrata cheese made from fresh mozzarella, Italian soups, pastas, pizzas baked in brick oven, calzones and desserts. The eatery also has Halal and gluten-free options.
The new location seats 160 guests and includes an outdoor patio. Russo’s parents immigrated from Italy, settling first in New Jersey then moving to the Houston, Texas area. Anthony launched Russo’s in 1992 and has since expanded the brand in partnership with 56 locations across the United States, as well as eight restaurants situated throughout Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.
