Russo's New York Pizzeria

What a gem! This place is a must-visit. The food was absolutely fantastic--everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. On top of that, the restaurant was spotless, which is always a big plus in my book.The owners were incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and the quality of their food.If you're looking for a place with great food, a clean environment, and warm hospitality, this is it. I'll definitely be back, and I highly recommend you check it out!

Ordered to go. IMO not worth $40. Would have rather spent that somewhere else but I wanted to give this place a try claiming it's a NY pizzeria. No sir....not for me. Crust was soft and not thin enough actually it was chewy...I'll stop there. The arugula salad pictured was a "large" for $13. Pretty sure it was 4 oz worth. Next time I'll try something else.

Found a new pizza near by the house and had to try it out! I placed an order for 12" pizza (half pepperoni/half Canadian bacon) with 10 order hot buffalo wings to go. The host told me it would take about 30 minutes. I showed up about 15 minutes later to pay my bill and wait the remaining minutes. Unfortunately, I ended up waiting a little longer than that. Maybe 45/50 minutes? The staff seemed to have a back up of to go orders which slowed down service a bit. The staff did their best to keep up. Given the short staff in the restaurant, I didn't mind at all.When my order was finally ready, the staff were generous and provided a compensation, which I didn't expect but greatly appreciated.Got home and my husband and I enjoyed every last bite of our meal. The half and half thin crust was great! I would've like a crisper edge but over all great flavor of the pepperoni and Canadian bacon. The wings were also good. Despite the busy time, I'd come back to try the ravioli and more pizza.

Happy to see that we're getting some more food options in the area! This is a small restaurant with a friendly staff. The food is good. I got the soup and sandwich, and the Tomato Pesto soup was so good. Perfect for dipping bread into! The chicken sandwich was decent but the chicken needs improvement. It was thin, a little dry, and it would've been nice if it was one piece instead of sliced. Overall had a good experience and plan to come again!

My family went after seeing this on the hot/new section on yelp. They're still in soft opening but it seemed like things were pretty well finalized. There's ample seating and it's a new building so everything was very nice. The menu seemed a little overwhelmingly large and with the "order up front or on app" there wasn't really an opportunity to get suggestions from the staff. As someone else noted the staff was friendly but didn't actively engage which seemed unusual for a soft launch Food came out pretty quickly once we ordered it. I really liked that they had build to order slices and all the toppings were available. So we got a slice, a medium pizza, and the baked ziti. The baked ziti we all agreed wasn't very good - far too much tomato and it was soggy, not much cheese or flavor. The pizza was good - sweet and soft dough, and the proteins were all perfectly cooked. The garlic bread in the beginning was interesting but not my favorite- too heavy on the garlic.I think this are in Mesa is going to really take off and I expect good things from Russo's.

Saw this place after our visit to Hooligans coffee so decided to stop by and check it out. The place is small inside. Not much seating inside but they also have outdoor seating which is also kinda limited but more space. It was cold outside so we sat inside. Service was great. A lady greeted us and told us about their grand opening special they had going on.They serve you with their focaccia which was pretty good! My kids didn't care for the oil dip because of all the spices it had a bit of a kick but my husband and I enjoyed it. My husband ordered a slice of their pepperoni pizza and my daughter also got a kids pizza. Their slices are pretty big but thin. My husband was good with just one and my daughter didn't even finish her other half. So the amount was plenty. I ordered the short rib ravioli. It was really flavorful just a tad bit on the salty side. My son ordered his chicken Alfredo fettuccine and when I tried his chicken it was a bit on the dry side but he enjoyed it. At the last of his pasta he did notice a piece of hair which was unpleasant and we did mention it to our server. She did give us an option to comp the dish or remake it but since my son practically ate most of it and didn't realize until after we asked to comp it. I understands things like that happen but I question if the people in the back making food are wearing hairnets at all while making the food?? Overall it was okay minus the hair in the food.

Some of the friendly staff at any restaurant we have been to lately! Erica was helpful, polite and so kind. The pizza truly tastes like NY/NJ pizza! Sauce has a little sweetness, crispy crust and the right amount of t of toppings. Wings had a good, flavor but not just know they are not a crisp wing.Well lit, clean and plenty of outdoor seating.We will be back and will tell others to give it a try.

I went in and was very excited about New York Pizza coming to the area. I went on the first day of their quiet opening. While I did not get the greeting I expected with it being a new restaurant I definitely got a welcomed and gracious thanks for coming in from the cook.The Caesar salad's dressing is amazing and would recommend. The pizza has good flavor but for a pepperoni pizza the pepperoni was lacking. I would definitely like to go back and try the pasta. Just be warned the prices are higher than I expected. They are offering a15% opening discount. But , I had to ask for it.

Food never disappoints. Service is outstanding. Ambiance is perfect for eat in or take out. This place is a real gem. Lindy was a great server. Brendon made my pizza. Wow!The owners care about this place for sure. This is my second review because I was wow'd a

This was our first visit here and we sat outside in the evening, it was a little cool, but they had nice patio heaters. The pizza was outstanding and we ordered cannolis for dessert. The service was also great. I would definitely come back to Russo's again.
