Russo's New York Pizzeria

Got their lunch special the pizza is missing flavor from the tomato sauce it’s overpower with garlic not saying it’s bad but could be better

This was a near miss for me for New York style. Nice chewy crust, right thickness and right amount of floppiness. Sauce could have used a bit more salt but wasn’t bad. Issue was with the cheese to sauce ratio—too much cheese. Just a bit less and would have had more of that perfect orange sheen and the right bite.

Let me start by saving the staff is a 10/10, the service is a 10/10, and the calamari salad is a solid 8.1. That being said the Brooklyn style pizza is a fair 6.6. Crust was crispy on the edges but floppy and the cheese was greasy and so filling. Sauce was very sweet if you like that. Reminiscent of Sbarro.

As basic as it gets... no crisp

Eh

Reheated slice so maybe better ordering a whole pie. My sons initial review was way too high.

One bite everybody knows the rules !
