Review 1:

Best pizza in the area!! If you're around here go by and get yourself some of their pizza. They have full pizzas and slices (which are giant, as in bigger than your face). We ordered a buffalo chicken slice and a pineapple with angus beef slice and the food was divine! We hadn't been in a long time and were glad to see that it had been remodeled and now looks upgraded and stylish. Upon entering we were immediately greeted and given menus, the manager (possibly owner, I'm not sure) was very attentive and consistently asked if we were enjoying the food, needed anything etc. We will be back for sure and will recommend this place to our friends and family.

Review 2:

My husband and i were at the Sprint store next door and were hungry and thought we would check it out. I AM GLUTEN INTOLERANT and it is very very hard for me to find a decent gluten free crust. Russo's is MADE FROM SCRATCH!!!!  AND...thet make it nice and crispy which you really have to do with Gluten free crust. I got the caprese and added pepperoni. The mozzarella had great flavor and they put a generous amount of toppings on the pizza. Basil was fresh!!  My husband got the buffalo chicken and he really enjoyed it. He said the purple onions were crunchy (which means they are fresh). He also said the chicken tasted fresh and not frozen.  just moved to the area 2 months ago and have been looking for a local owned, pizza joint. FYI...they cook the gluten free pizza  in a separate oven and wipe everything down to keep from cross contamination. They did say they there is always a chance for cross contamination but they try really hard not to. Really great experience here and highly recommend. STAFF SUPER SUPER NICE, ATTENTIVE!!!

Review 3:

Stick to the main offerings and you'll be fine.  Cheese pizza, pepperoni, etc are all decent 4 star offerings.  However, deviating from that is a risk.  I ordered a sandwich that had ham.  It was marginal, as the ham was fatty so taking a bite meant a string of fat from the sandwich to my mouth....not good on date night! I had to cut the sandwich into little pieces (through the ham fat) so I could eat it more easily. Food quality and flavors are good on the pizza, but the sandwiches are a 'miss'.  I either ended up with all the ham ( because of the fat keeping it together) or no ham on each bite. My suggestion is to use cuts of meat that are suitable for a sandwich, ie lean and easy to eat. The pizza crust is classic, chewy in a good way.  Toppings are a good variety and top quality.  Sauce is ok, but not their strong suit. Salads are also good choices. My take.....get rid of fatty ham and this is a 4 star place.
