Russo’s Pizza Kitchen

I’ve had their food before and it’s always been good. I learned about it from a friend. I’m only doing a 3 star because it is a pricy pizza and there’s not a lot of substance to it. But it is good!!! I have worked for a couple family restaurants and have no issue paying a premium price but this one needs more for the price. I’ll still go back!!!

Back again and still great! Just tried the pepperoni roll and it was amazing! I can’t wait for lunch tomorrow! I couldn’t finish it… although I did want to because it was so good lol. Same great customer service! Owner is in the kitchen making the food. We also had the garlic bread it’s made fresh! Perfection! I very much appreciate their quality of service and food!

First time here but I will definitely be back! A homey pizza joint where the owner is working in the kitchen and greeting everyone who comes through the door!
There are TVs at each table and the restaurant is nice, clean and cozy. Staff is kind and drinks and meals are served quickly and hot! This is top 10 pizza places for me! Slices of each pizza are enormous and priced perfectly! Basic cheese pizza is about $ 2.50 and each additional topping is 0.50, not bad compared to other restaurants where they charge you $ 3.00 for pepperoni!

I come to Russo’s regularly for lunch, and mostly order the lunch special w/​meatball & jalapeño. I love the atmosphere and friendly customer service, it makes the experience even better.
Their pizza is the best pizza I have had so far. The crust is nice and golden brown (most of the time, sometimes it is a little burnt), and they put the right amount of sauce, cheese, and they give you a pretty good amount of toppings (I love it). Their slices are huge (a couple of times I got a medium to small sized pizza), one slice was the equivalent of two pieces of pizza (I was so happy when I saw the size of their pizza!)!!
I highly recommend their pizza!
Other then the pizza their other menu items are pretty average (haven’t tried everything). I enjoyed their Ceaser salad. The grilled chicken had that smokey taste, it was delicious.
Overall I’m a Russo’s pizza fan! I’m seriously addicted.
4.5 out of 5 in my book

Stopped here for a quick slice and loved it! Went back to try out the rest of the menu but was disappointed by the rude service. The waitress gave us an empty and rushed hello while continuing to talk to her current table. We pulled a chair for a table and decided to move because the baby wouldn’t fit (newborn in her carrier) No one told us where to sit and we were trying to give this place a shot.
The chef kept telling the waitress to fix the table we moved from. We thought this was rude as we were right there. We felt so uncomfortable we decided to leave. Won’t be coming back here. Such a shame

Love Russo’s! We don’t live anywhere near Russo’s, but when we want the best Pizza, that’s where we go.

A born and raised New Yorker living in Las Vegas for 6 years. This is the only
thing close to NY pizza. Honestly, the previous owner is still making pizza there and he is the reason its so authentic!

Just okay for pizza and salads– cheese slice is $ 2.50, crust is perfectly thin and crispy but sauce was on the bland side. The Greek salad has scant non-​lettuce ingredients and no protein for $ 10 but an incredible dressing– it’s called a house italian, but it’s a creamy version that tastes like a really good Caesar.
Another table got a $ 16 steamed mussels special that looked to be a small portion, but the great garlic fragrance was enough to make me rethink my selections. Overall I feel like it’s a bit overpriced for what you get.
The space is small, walk-​up style but dining in is nicer than you’d think– there’s also a large TV tuned to sports above the counter and individual flat screen TVs at some of the booths.

I will continue to review Russo’s pizza’s stellar pizza!!!
I’ve always had excellent service, food and prices. Russo’s has a family friendly environment, staff and owner Tony (he’s the best!).
If you haven’t tried Russo’s, you must stop in for a slice of hot and delicious pizza or try the pasta Fabioli homemade soup!

Oh. My. God.
Thin crust, light sauce, hot hot hot, delicious, pizza. This was one of the best pizzas I have ever had. We started with an antipasto salad. It was piled high with meat and cheese and it was served on mixed greens. Tossed lightly with a vinagrette. We ordered two pizzas. One vegetarian and one stuffed pizza. We also shared a plate of cheese raviolis with alfredo sauce. The stuffed pizza was great too. Much different than pizzas I have had in the past. But the thin crust vegetarian was better. Much better. And the ravioli? Excellent. You can tell that all the ingredients are quality and fresh. The alfredo sauce had little pieces of garlic in it and it was full of flavor.
This place is family owned and I am very happy supporting the local community.
We will absolutely be back.

Definitely one of the best pizzas I have had in Las Vegas
Went here one night for dinner with a guy who said the place was hands down the best in town and a few other people. As a group, we ordered two pizzas, a stromboli and a variety of salads to try. I only tried the Caesar Salad which was very good and I am picky about those. The pizza was delivered to the table and super hot. It was amazing. The bottom was nice and crunchy and the cheese and pepperoni were perfectly cooked. It was delicious. Very very close to best pizza in town.
My friend also commented that the owner, also the one whom makes the food also makes his own sauce. It is delicious. He got an extra star for that! Definitely will be a repeat customer.

My family and I are used to New York style pizza and are spoiled from the pizzeria around the corner from where our family lives back east. This is THE CLOSEST we could possibly get to what we know! I’ve come here dozens and dozens of times and have tried just about everything on the menu — and I have never been let down or dissatisfied with the food.
The service is also speedy for the quality of food we are receiving! Home cooked Italian meals and the best pizza in Las Vegas? I’d wait much longer than the time it takes for them to put out the food! The waitresses are wonderful, too! They know their menu to a T and are SO very personable! They even remember what I like the most since I come in so often.

Awesome local pizza joint. Tony has way more than pizzas lemme tell you! His antipasto salad is fantastic. Service is great I think it’s his daughter, she’s great, all the girls are great.
Looking for a great authentic pizza and chicken parm kinda night, this is a great choice.

I was seriously disappointed. I was ordering pizza for my employees as a thank you for working so hard. First, I am at my place of business managing a few customers so I asked my employee to call and do the order for what everyone else wanted. She was asking me few questions and I asked the guy, who was on speaker, if they had salads. He proceeded to get snotty and ask if I had a menu. First of all, not many people call with a menu in front of them. Secondly, it was a simple question. So I told him my employee had it on her phone, but for the sake of getting back out on my sales floor, I just asked quickly and as to the size of the salad.
At this point I’m annoyed because I told him I apologize, which why do I even need to ‘ve sorry for asking questions, but I did tell him I was trying to handle my customers and this order. To this he replied, «Welcome to my world.» Then he handed the phone back to the girl who originally answered the phone and hung up on us the first time we called.
My employees told me to cancel the order after getting the total of $ 49 and being treated like a burden. I told them I will give this place the benefit of the doubt if the pizza is good. It was awful. The pizza was as thick as a dough ball, little sauce, and burnt at the bottom. It also had a strange after taste.
By far the worst money I have spent

This place has a great antipasta salad the pizza was good but not great. I’m not a fan of a pizza that separates the crust from the cheese after the first bite. The crust was very good and my husband loved it. It was not out of this world pizza but still better than most. The service was on point and that is why they received 4 stars. Bathrooms are clean and atmosphere was quaint. Bonus is you have your own tv at each table to watch whatever you want. If you want.

I love Mom and Pop places! It’s our neighborhood pizza go to (New York style). Tony is the best, so friendly and inviting. Their pizza is excellent and I love the Russo deli sandwich. The décor is warm and cozy, it’s not huge in there but we usually order to go anyways. They have great lunch specials and a pizza special on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday from 4−9pm. Go see Tony the owner and support a great local place!!!

Have eaten here twice — once in the restaurant, and once ordered delivery.
Walked in for lunch with a friend… very homely feeling. We decided to share the calamari and lasagna. The calamari was excellent; not heavily-​breaded, light and not too salty! The lasagna was very cheesy and perfectly cooked and was a great portion. If I could cook lasagna at home, it’s how I would want mine to taste. I really liked the atmosphere and there are little TVs at each table… good for those solo-​lunchers who might want to catch the local news or catch up on sports scores during their lunch break. You can also order pizza by the slice, which is super convenient for quick lunch pickups.
The second time I ordered for delivery, we had the calamari and a small pepperoni mushroom pizza. Again the calamari was on point, and the pizza was what I expected… wonderfully cheesy and flavorful.
I really love to support family businesses, and this one did not disappoint! Feels like Italian home cooking, and I’m looking forward to trying more of their menu items!

I think it is not possible to be critical in any way of this restaurant. This is a typical pizza delivery restaurant with the standards on the menu: by the slice, 12″ and 16″, pastas, chicken wings, entrees, etc. They deliver and have a well-​developed catering plan. Atmosphere is kitch-​casual with checkerboard plastic tablecloths and miniature HD televisions on every table. Only sodas: no beer or wine or anything.
Lots of hustle. A good twenty minutes is reasonable and expected from order to table, add another twenty minutes for delivery and tip correctly. My opinion is this is a very well-​run, neighborhood popular independent pizzeria offering southern Italian flair.
Value is pretty strong: 12″ pepperoni pizza, linguini (with the bread) and Greek salad easily enough to serve four good appetites came to about $ 38 plus drinks, tax, and tip.
Easy to find and get to, being on the southeast corner of Tropicana and Rainbow. A fair amount of parking curbside. A regular neighborhood kind of place like you might find in New York or Chicago.

When it comes to Italian Restaraunts, probably too many here in Vegas. But this is definitely a jewel that sticks out. Pizza is Pizza and it’s good but what really sticks out are the non pizza items. I really liked the chopped Salad. We also had those clam shells and the difference is in the soup part. I didn’t want to waste the rest after eating all the clams so I just used some bread, soaked it in and ate it. The chicken fingers were perfect, not too bready. I’ll tell you what sticks out and you would think an Italian Kitchen doesn’t have it. But their cheesecake is absolute bomb. It was the perfect texture. Even shared it with a couple from New Jersey and they even said its just as good if not better than Junior’s in NY or Carnegie.
Check it out, and yes you can scrape the cheesecake off the plastic wrap and not feel guilty

I came to Russo looking for some carb loading pasta dish night before long bike ride/​run training day. I always wanted check out Russo since close to the house. Each time I make Presto Café run next door just reminder need check it out. I cam on Saturday night. I was surprise see the place jammed packed. The most part it seems like the place never fills out. On this night lucked out because scored the only table that was available. They do takeout so if worst came to worst could have done it. Thankfully I was able too enjoy my pasta fresh hot from kitchen straight to my table.
I settled on «Our Signature Penne Pasta». I thought was pretty good. The Pink Vodka Sauce. Basically tomato cream sauce had nice balance between the two. Still had hint of Vodka. The italian sausage, peas, and onion was the perfect compliment. Peas tomato and cream beautiful thing by itself. The penne pasta was cooked spot on al dente. The portion size is no joke. It came in nice size bowl might not be deep bowl but nice and wide round dish filled with pasta. Thankfully was looking too carb load so could finish it all. All the pastas (I notice other customers portions) you could eat half now and rest later or leftovers. The price is really reasonable not saying cheap but not high end price would pay on the strip price. The bread that comes with your meal not bad. I wish the butter would have been softer.
The whole menu most part is your standard italian dishes. They also offer catering options. Deliveries.
The service was good. I know the only had one server and the place was packed. I just went up to the counter ordered then sat down. The only thing with service went to refill my own drink. It was busy but found it interesting other tables waitress was refilling their drinks.
I atmosphere like that old school italian small family run business. The owner is very much on it from taking orderers, greeting people come in and out, and even helping bussing tables since busy had other customers waiting. Russo bringing food out in the restaurant. The whole table cloth the red and white checker board style. All the italian artwork mostly of food. If that not interesting can always check out sports on television. The table along the wall each one has it own television. I notice remote on each one. Not sure if allowed change them or not.
No doubt looking for carb loading pre race or workout. Russo is great spot and one that sure will hit up again in the future…
