Russo’s New York Pizzeria is not actually from New York, it’s from Houston, Texas. There are three branches in Dubai, including the one in Silicone Oasis which we ordered from. So, what exactly is New York style pizza? Wikipedia says it’s pizza made with a characteristically large hand-tossed thin crust, often sold in wide slices to go. The crust is thick and crisp only along its edge, yet soft, thin, and pliable enough beneath its toppings to be folded in half to eat. Tasty as they were, Russo’s slices weren’t thin enough to be folded. That little detail aside, Russo’s offers the menu and the size one associates with New York pizza. We thoroughly enjoyed the two half/halves we ordered. My favourite was the Italian Works, my daughter’s was BBQ Chicken. The only complaint I have is that our pizzas arrived late, cold and had to be reheated. Even so, I still think they’re worth a try.
