I'm not here to talk bad on other pizza places, I'm here to let y'all know Russo's is the truth. You guys know I'm not really a Glazer like I will call the food bad if it is. The service is quick, polite, and straight to the point. The ambience is comforting in a way that makes you feel like you're at a family gathering, but not a loud one. It's a quiet retreat with great food and good people. Cheese stretch: 10/10 Amount of toppings when you only ask for 1 topping: 10/10 (you get what you're paying for they don't skimp out just bc you order 1 topping) Crust: 10/10 holds its weight under extra cheese it's true jersey style with the way it defied gravity Ingredients: 10/10 they don't taste frozen, truly felt like a homemade delicacy according to my wife "straight from the motherland" Eating at any other pizza place is a waste of time. I said what I said.

8/2/25 - Pre-gamed at a local pizzeria called Russo's Pizza and Sub Shop. Although I love the…read moreballpark, their food leaves much to be desired so I do recommend eating before you go. I had one plain and one Sicilian. The plain slice was pretty good. It's a neopolitan style pie which I grew up eating on Staten Island. The Sicilian slice was excellent. The crust was light and crispy and very flavorful. If you go, don't expect world-class dining. Its a hole-in-the-wall type restaurant. They get bonus points for having a super friendly staff that will chat with you about sports. Overall Rating: B+

The good: The sauce is savory and delicious. The cheese is premium. It has seasonings you can taste. The crust on the plain has good flavor. And the edge crust is crispy and chewy without being dry. The bad: the bottom crust on the plain slice does not hold up--- it's very limp. And again, the Sicilian slice lacked that Sicilian flavor. Its been a few restaurant visits since I found a square that I loved. We gave the girl at the front a simple order. One plain, one pepperoni, one pasta slice and one Sicilian slice. She seemed more interested in laughing with co-workers than my order so it was no surprise to see her only put three of the four in the oven. All the tables were appropriately stocked with napkins and condiments.... except for ours. Not a deal breaker but annoying nonetheless. Overall Rating: B- To be fair, it probably should've been a higher score because the pizza was pretty good. But I include service in my scores so their deduction was well deserved.

I like how there is a huge menu here at this location. I always go with the fettuccine Alfredo and add breaded chicken. It is always a hit. They also bring bread rolls and a salad when you get an entree. The pizza is also very solid here. They have a good sit-down service here, but you can also just order and take your food to go if you don't feel like sitting down. It is also very affordable here too. My pasta entree that I got last week was only about 20 dollars, considering it is very filling and it comes with the bread and salad. Overall, you should definitely try out this Panatieri's location!

We ordered takeout which was ready on-time with a cheerful and prompt checkout: * Chicken Parmigiana: Breaded chicken breast with mozzarella cheese in a light red sauce with Ziti and Salad. * Chicken Piccata: Chicken breast in lemon wine butter sauce with Penne and Salad. You can select your preferred pasta and salad dressing with these dishes. The Chicken Piccata was very tasty, light and lemony. The chicken was very tender. It was better than the Chicken Parmigiana which was a little too fried and not nearly as tender. I'd definitely order the Chicken Piccata on my next visit. The Ziti and Penne were plentiful and good, and the salads were surprisingly good with fresh, crisp lettuce and ripe tomato slices. Overall, a good takeout, 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 stars for the tasty Piccata and piping hot food!
