New York Pizzeria
Owner
Owner-chef Anthony Russo is proud to serve old-fashioned, authentic New York Style pizza in a comfortable neighborhood setting at all of his New York Pizzeria restaurants. Legendary New York Style pizza is loved the world over for its crisp thin crust and full rich flavor. New York Pizzeria lives up to its name. At New York Pizzeria, you get the real thing, the same honest-to-goodness, drippy, gooey, cheesy pizza you find at street corner pizza shops in New York. And just like those incredible pizza shops, you can buy pizza by the slice at New York Pizzeria. It's no coincidence that…

The Good & The Bad

Russo's NY Pizzeria (aka NY Pizzeria)
1660 W. FM646 (between I45 & Walker St), League City
I've been here several times now, enough to find the experience consistent and predictable. I walk in, I sit down at the bar (where a sign peeking out from behind the computer screen says "please seat yourself"). But you'll be lucky to ever get waited on that way. Sitting there, you will see a number of other people come in behind you, step up to the register, place and order and pay for it in advance, as young waitresses occasionally glance at you and then summarily ignore you. Trouble is, it's not exactly McDonalds. I'm not sure how many beers I will want with my meal, and somehow I don't think refills are free.
Eventually, but only after I have to get a little obnoxious, I get some service. I order a slice of pizza and a Shiner Black Ale. It's a big slice, and it's good. And it's priced right. And there's only one other by-the-slice place in town, which I do not recommend, so this is pleasing.
On my next visit, I had more time, and more hunger, so I got the Tortellini Carbonara. If you like al fredo on the rich side, I strongly recommend any pasta carbonara. Russo's does it right.
I look forward to trying their other pastas and casseroles, to see if they measure up to Zio's. But Russo's needs to put up a sign if they expect people to order at the register (and get rid of the other sign).
- Pros: Good Food
- Cons: Bad Service

Shame on NY Pizzeria
by readysetgogp at Citysearch
Anyone who thinks this place has NY Pizza has LOST THEIR MIND. The sauce is thick and sugary (everyone knows true NY Sauce is thin with tomato chunks.)
The closest thing I found to NY Pizza is Franks Downtown (awesome!) Luigi's in Midtown, and Romano's on West Grey. Save your money and time people. Even though it may not be NY Pizza, in that neighborhood go to Barry's instead.
- Pros: NONE
- Cons: Sauce is Terrible

Galleria Area has the WORST service
by kappasigma394 at Citysearch
I ordered a pizza and was told the wait would be 45 minutes. After an hour and fifteen minutes the pizza finally arrived but was cold. At which point I had to heat the pizza up in the oven because I was not about to call and have to wait another hour or more for another cold pizza to be delivered. I called and spoke with someone who may or may not have been Anthony Russo and his only response was "It is Friday night, of course there will be a wait." After finally getting the chance to tell him that the pizza was cold he offered to send a new pizza which at this point was worthless. I then asked for my money back at which point he began to speak over me so that I had to yell just to get my point across. Then to top it off he called me a fu***** as*ho** and hung up on me. Do not patronize any of the locations that this person owns. He has no concept of what it means to take care of a customer and frankly the pizza is terrible. At one point I ate regularly at the Willowbrook location and never had a problem. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!
- Pros: N/A
- Cons: Excessively rude owner, poor product quality

It's no coincidence that Russo makes the best pizza in Houston. He learned how to "cook Italian" as a child in his family's restaurant in Brooklyn, New York.
Russo studied the art of pizza-baking from the master, his grandfather Giuseppe.
Buon Appetito!
