Russo’s New York Pizzeria announced their new Houston Heights location in Houston, Texas. The Heights location is scheduled for opening its doors in early 2020.

“We are so excited to be part of the Heights community,” says Anthony Russo, founder and CEO of Russo’s New York Pizzeria. “The Heights boasts rich history and is one of the hottest inner loop neighborhoods. Now with Houston being one of the food capitals of the country, it’s no surprise it would make a perfect home for our newest location. The Heights location will open its doors to an open kitchen design, smaller and more intimate build out, which will create a unique dining experience for all guests.”

Russo’s New York Pizzeria and Italian Kitchen offers the freshest ingredients sourced directly from dairy farmers, tomato growers, and olive oil producers. They take all those fine, natural ingredients and use them in all their kitchens each day to prepare homemade sauces, salad dressings, pizza dough, fresh pasta, and much more. New menu items include: Truffle Tortelloni, Pappardelle Carbonara, Shrimp Alfredo Pizza, Tuscan Vegan Pizza, Spicy Fennel Sausage Pizza, and much more.

Russo’s understands the magic created when you incorporate the enjoyments of great conversation with the pleasures of beautiful food and drink. “At Russo’s, we strive to recreate this sensation between family and friends at every meal. It’s not just the food that keeps our guests coming back. They come for the Russo’s dining experience,” Russo says.

Based in Houston, Russo’s Restaurants is composed of a mix of corporate and franchised locations across Texas, Oklahoma, and Florida. Russo’s has entered international markets as well, with locations in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah, in the United Arab Emirates.
