Tried new york village, spaghetti with meatballs, and carbonara. All were tasty and seasoned well! The place is clean and quiet. Definitely come back to try different dishes for sure.

I have the garlic mushroom truffle pasta. Very good but the pasta was a little overcooked. I don’t like to send food back unnecessarily so I kept it but might be wise to ask them to cook it more al dente. Garlic knots were delicious as well.

Service was excellent! Food was scrumptious and establishment is impeccable. Vodka sauce pizza ?, Caesar salad, made fresh Tiramisu and coffee. Made for an amazing lunch listening to Dean Martin. Ambiance takes you out of the hustle and bustle of Houston.Kid-friendliness: Have brought my teen here since he was a toddler. Russo restaurants are well known for family friendliness.
Russo's New York Pizzeria and Italian Kitchen truly stands out as a gem for those in pursuit of authentic Italian cuisine.My experience was nothing short of spectacular.The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the tomato basil soup - a masterpiece in its own right. It was the absolute best I have ever had, with a depth of flavor that was both comforting and invigorating.Moving on to the pizza, it was a delightful journey through traditional New York-style pizza, characterized by its delicious crust, perfectly balanced sauce, and premium toppings. Every bite was a reminder of what makes a pizza genuinely exceptional.The lasagna, on the other hand, was a testament to the kitchen's prowess in crafting dishes that resonate with warmth and richness. It was layered with the perfect ratio of cheese, sauce, and pasta, making it an unforgettable part of the meal.Russo's New York Pizzeria and Italian Kitchen is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Italian flavors. The food is not just amazing; it's a culinary experience that leaves you longing for more. Whether it's the unparalleled tomato basil soup, the scrumptious pizza, or the divine lasagna, each dish is a clear indication of the care, quality, and tradition that Russo's brings to the table.
I ordered a square pizza for 35$ to get a burned crust! Very disappointed !Yes Westheimer location. Thank you for your kind response !

Being from Queens NY, I am always skeptical when I see "NY-Anything in Texas", I was not only pleasantly surprised BUT I felt as if my senses traveled back in time to when I was a child getting a slice of Pizza at Rockaway Playland. I was fortunate enough to meet the owner who greeted me the same as I would have been greeted when I was a child standing with a dollar in hand getting a slice. Truly as close as you can get without landing in LaGuadia airport. Thank you to Russo's and to the staff that made the Chris X Pizza Party such a fun time. :)

Russo’s has the most hearty slices and is always consistent. As is customary for any successful restaurant chain, you always know you’re getting what you pay for and their daily online promos incentivize handsomely to indulge “handsomely”Mangia Mangia!
Horrible Service!! I placed an order online two hours before my pick up time. I get there to pick up my pizza at 5:15 PM and I still have to wait another 10 minutes because it's not ready. What's the point of scheduling a time if it's not gonna be ready,? Very disappointing.

Had a long and stressful day at work so I came here for dinner. Fortunately, Holly was my server. She was so attentive and sweet. The food was very comforting. Literally felt like I walked into my mom's house. This place turned my day around. Thank you Holly

I had the tortellini soup and lasagna- it was delicious! It came with cheesy garlic bread. Took two slices of pepperoni to go- I’ll definitely be back soon. Thanks for a great lunch!?

I didn't expect to meet Chef Antonio, but big as day he came out to the table to greet me. I met him on IG after seeing his Video of a Special Pizza . I just had to try it, he invited me to the restaurant. I texted him prior to my arrival and My goodness what a good Pizza. The restaurant is very nice the food was great. I Highly recommend.

The pizza scene in Houston is pretty terrible. The places Houston locals tell you are the best are still pretty terrible. Russo’s is the first and only proper pizza I have had in Houston.
