Russo's New York Coal-Fired Pizzeria
At Russo's New York Coal-Fired Pizzeria near the intersection of the Northwest Freeway and Highway 6, Anthony Russo has re-created the old-fashioned coal-fired pizzeria experience in a suburban strip center. But the superhot oven is only part of what Russo is doing right. You don't get a pizza crust with this kind of fabulous texture unless you can turn out a high-rising yeasty dough every day. And the only way to keep such a great pizza from getting gloppy is to teach every apprentice pizza maker in the place that you aren't doing your customers any favors when you pile too many toppings on the pie. And then there's the quality of the toppings themselves. As long as they can keep the oven hot, the dough yeasty and the toppings high in quality and low in quantity, Russo's New York Coal-Fired Pizzeria will have the best pie in Houston.

Russo's Coal Fired Pizza on 290 and Hyw 6 is absolutely the best pizza ever. Having been a loyal Fuzzy's diner for years, I have a new love! Be sure to try the Italian sausage and the Buffalo cheese. The food is terrific, the wait staff friendly and knowledgeable, owner is smart and funny and times there are entertaining. If you like Dominos and frozen pizza, don't go. This is too good to waste on those who are unable to appreciate it!
