Russo's New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen

AC Griffin

I have been to the Russo's in Austin, and it was very good. This one, not so much. The mozzarella sticks looked like plastic cheese. They gave us some kind of cut-up crust with garlic and cheese on top. It was very greasy and tasted old. My friend got a slice of pizza. It was a very big slice. They took an old piece of pepperoni pizza and threw some toppings on it, and heated it up. She said there was no sauce on the pizza. We ordered a large pepperoni and mushroom pizza as well. Of all the things we ordered, that tasted the best. I don't think we will return to this location. Not satisfied with the food overall, especially for the price we paid. Cheesesticks, greek side salad, and BYO pizza with a drink was $54.

Walked in for a casual lunch and had a great experience. Employees were friendly, helpful, and provided excellent customer service. I went with a build your own slice. I ordered a specialty veggie slice. They were generous on the toppings. Presentation of toppings and distribution was inconsistent. However, it's easy to look past that aspect when you realize how big your slice is. The size of the pizza slice is a absolute hit, especially when compared to NYC pizza shops that I've visited. The crust is delicious. The toppings are too fresh, I'm my opinion. I would have liked my veggies a little more cooked and warmer. The sauce is very addicting. Visit Russo's for New York style pizza with a touch of Texas love.

Thank goodness this pizza spot was open after 6pm. Seems like every thing downtown closes early as they must focus on local business traffic. That was good news for me as I really enjoyed the Biaca (sp?) slice. Beer was tasty but I forget the name. Mozzarella sticks were good and plentiful. Not very busy on a weeknight so you'll quickly get a table. Place was clean and service was friendly.

Russo’s certainly has a large menu with many choices that can make anyone in your group. I went with a make your own calzone and it was an overall good calzone. Next time I will try some of the pastas or subs that looked very good. Place it self was clean and the staff was nice even with how busy they get at the lunch rush. I would say that it was a little pricey though with my calzone being $20.

It seems close from the outside, and they close at 6 pm! No soda machine working. Can't seat until you paid and order. It was empty at 430 pm on wenesday. Only order pizza.
