We put our money where our mouth is, in fresh flavor and a fresh approach to the pizzeria & Italian kitchen business. Our recipes, our ingredients, our artisan, thin-crust pizza, all meet the demands of modern consumers who demand taste and quality, and are willing to pay a little more for it–slightly upscale, gourmet-conscious diners who place a premium on natural, quality ingredients and preparation, who want to feel like somebody’s cooking for them personally. In following true Italian kitchen experiences, our motto is "If it isn't Fresh Don't Serve It."
STAYING AHEAD, KEEPING ON TREND
Russo's Franchise
The world’s eating habits are changing, and we’re helping that happen in a healthy, appetizing way. Keeping ahead of, or on track with, the latest trends can be a huge factor in whether or not some guests choose to dine with us. Therefore, our menu has grown to offer gluten-free and vegan options as well as updated wine and beer list options.
New York Pizza Concept
SUCCESSFUL RESTAURANT FRANCHISE FORMULA
FLEXIBLE FOOTPRINT
Russo’s franchises offer the full-service experience, depending on the day or guest’s needs, while our delivery/takeout concepts maximize all sales potential for every square foot of space your store has available. Our smaller footprint units, with limited seating, are perfect for the growing delivery-forward trend in the pizza industry.
ONLINE ORDERING
With online ordering counting for over 50% of sales, Russo’s utilized an online ordering platform, directly connected to the in-store POS to capture maximum revenue from our customers. The menu is also accessible in a customized mobile app. Additional online sales are brought in through third party delivery and ghost kitchens as well.
CUSTOMIZED MENU
Unique menu items propel Russo’s above the rest. Customized to fit your demographic and footprint, added to the menu are gluten free, vegan, and halal ingredient options. Staying on trend and staying flexible are the best ways to stand out. No other QSR can successfully have high-end traditional dishes on their menu like Russo’s.
While making these one-of-a-kind dishes isn’t complex, they are not just found in every fast casual pizzeria or Italian restaurant. With these unique items on the menu, Russo’s remains elevated above the rest. Here are a few of our star favorites.
TRUFFLE MUSHROOM PIZZA
Fresh Portabella mushrooms, Wisconsin mozzarella, and truffle mushroom olive oil sauce topped with fresh arugula.
PIZZA BY THE SLICE
Our giant slices are custom built for each guests and taken from our giant 28” size pizza.
BURRATA PIZZAS
Bringing this premium cheese to the menu has enhanced the Italian experience when ordering our specialty pizzas.
GOURMET SOUPS & SALADS
Made with the freshest ingredients, our salads come in an array of flavors and combinations to satisfy all guests
