“ First off, this is by far one of the best pizza spots. Their staff is extremely kind and helpful. Today I went in with my young kids, which were wandering around and hungry while waiting on our order. A gentleman named Chris came out with some bread and oil for them to have while they wait! Who does that these days? I was extremely surprised he paid attention to detail. Thank you, Chris!! Fantastic all around!!! ”
“ Micaela is a phenomenal server with a beautiful attitude. The pizza slices are insanely huge and definitely worth it. The atmosphere is charming yet modern. I plan on bringing my out of city family to share the amazing experience we had. (Plus happy hour is 11-6 Monday-Friday. Meaning half off glasses of wine!) Great food, great prices, great staff and an awesome experience. ”
“ I stopped by Russo's right before closing, and even though they were wrapping up for the night, the staff went above and beyond. We ordered a pizza and asked for breadsticks, but they accidently weren’t included in our order. When we asked about it, they generously brought us some for free. Great customer service. The manager also checked in on us and asked if there was anything else he could get for us. That level of hospitality, especially at closing time, really stood out. The food was great, but the service made the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend this place! ”

“ The cookies and everything else in this place are absolutely remarkable! Today, 10/07/24, I walked into this place with my father to eat their spaghetti with sauce. The spaghetti here was not too hot and not too cold - warmed to perfection. There was just enough sauce, too. Full of flavor and easy to eat. Once we both finished eating what we ordered, I checked over the desserts area and ordered 2 cookies. I was friends with one of the cooks there and was told i could try a new, fresh batch of cookies that a new recruit made for the first time. Let me tell you, those were the best tasting cookies of my whole life. Once i took my first bite, the warmth in it was beautiful and astonishing. The right amount of coolness, chewy, and breathtakingly delectable. Eating more and more, the chocolate chips became sweeter, with a slightly cool outside and cozy inside. Melty, and not disappointed at all. I were told that these were called "better than the chefs," which is an amazing achievement for a new recruit, and for his first time making them. 10/10 would order these again. ”
“ First time here and the food and service was GREAT!!! The pizza was extra good!!! Our waiter Caesar was extra attentive and nice. ”
