Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen opens new outlet in Saudi Arabia

US based Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen has opened its fourth restaurant in Saudi Arabia.

The 223sqm, two-storey outlet is situated at Park Avenue Mall in Riyadh and offers their renowned Italian menu that serves New York-style oven baked pizzas, pastas as well as salads, burrata cheese cooked from fresh mozzarella, Italian soups, calzones, and desserts. The elevated upscale casual dining pizzeria has been designed to accommodate 160 guests with space for an outdoor patio.

It’s all about family

In traditional Italian families, some of life’s greatest joys take place around the table. Italians understand the magic created when the joys of conversation and intimacy mingle with the pleasures of beautiful food. At Russo’s, they strive to recreate this phenomenon between family and friends at every meal. It’s not just the food, it’s the experience that keeps customers coming back. They come for warmth, conversation, and a sense of belonging.

Passionate about bringing delicious food to communities across the world, Chef Anthony’s motto is, “If it’s not fresh, don’t serve it.”

To date, the company and its partners have opened 56 restaurants across the US in addition to eight outlets in Dubai, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. In April this year, Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen announced the signing of a five-unit franchise agreement to open its restaurant in Qatar.

The firm already launched the restaurant in November ahead of the recently concluded FIFA World Cup in the country.
