Russo’s New York Pizzeria recently celebrated the highly anticipated reopening of its newly redesigned restaurant located on Polk Street in downtown Houston. One of Russo’s post popular locations for Houstonians and visitors alike to experience authentic, fresh, scratch-made Italian food that the whole family can enjoy, the Polk Street restaurant’s interior has been completely transformed.
Russo’s on Polk Street comes with new features like the “open kitchen,” aesthetically pleasing décor, digital menus and a high-tech, self-service Coca-Cola machine. “The Polk Street Russo’s New York Pizzeria is setting the standard for many of our new Russo’s locations domestically and internationally,” commented Steve Hubbard, Chef Russo’s newly appointed Director of Operations. “In addition, lunch guests from neighboring office buildings can enjoy the brand new, create-your-own pizza and pasta stations, which prominently feature lunchtime portions of Russo’s most popular pizza and pasta dishes with a side salad included. Our open kitchen format has created a lot of buzz with our downtown customers and the word is spreading fast about our great menu and renewed service commitment.”
Houston’s news and media is excited about the new Russo’s, as well – in fact, the redesign was featured in Houstonia Magazine’s “Gastronaut Extreme Eats” page , the Houston Chronicle , Eater Houston and the Houston Press.
“Each of our customers who walk in will be delighted with the warm, yet trendy setting and are in for a real treat with the newly redesigned Polk Street location. They’re going to be in customization heaven with Coke’s high-tech Freestyle machine, as well as the opportunity to create their own pizza and pasta,” said Chef Anthony Russo, Founder and CEO. “It’s incredibly important for all of our valued guests to feel the authentic ambiance at Russo’s – with a giant slice of our authentic New York style pizza and a nice glass of wine in hand, of course!”
The newly redesigned Russo’s New York Pizzeria is located at 604 Polk Street in downtown Houston at the corner of Polk & Smith Streets, just 2 blocks inside I-45.
