The Good Stuff
Large Portions
Pizzas and other dishes are often described as filling, with leftovers common after family meals.
Group Friendly
The 28-inch pizza and large sharing portions make the restaurant workable for big groups.
Family Atmosphere
One family review found the dining room calm rather than loud, even with children present.
Friendly Service
Multiple reviews describe staff as welcoming and accommodating, including prompt table checks and help with menu choices.
Dining Deals
The Entertainer app has been reported to include a buy-one-get-one-free offer, improving value when dining with others.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Bills. If you use an Entertainer voucher, check that the free item is the cheaper main course before paying.
Confirm Mixes. For a half-and-half pizza, confirm the minimum size and pricing: one reviewer paid the full higher price for the mixed pizza.
Request Crispness. If you prefer a crisp base, ask for it when ordering; one customer said the request was followed exactly.
Plan For Groups. For a large gathering, consider the 28-inch pizza or large portions, which reviewers found suitable for sharing.
Use Mall Restroom. There is no dedicated restaurant restroom, but the nearby mall restroom was reported as convenient enough.
Check Availability. Ask what is currently available before settling on dishes, as one recent visit found many items out of stock.

The Bottom Line
Russo’s New York Pizzeria is a casual Barsha Heights spot for New York-style pizza, pasta and other Italian-American comfort food. The reviews point to several reliable-sounding choices: Burrata pizza, lasagna, Buffalo wings and Chicken Parmesan Pasta. Portions are often described as filling, and large pizzas can work well for sharing with family or friends.
The setting gets good marks for a relaxed family meal. One group found it quiet despite children dining nearby, while another mentioned prompt seating for a party of five. The 28-inch pizza is a notable option for bigger gatherings, and the Entertainer app has been mentioned as a way to improve value.
Quality and service are not completely consistent. Some guests received thin, crisp pizza and warm, well-timed food; others reported dough that was chewy or undercooked, cold mozzarella dishes, and mistakes across a family order. Recent reviews also raise serious cleanliness concerns, including flies around food and a cockroach.
If you visit, confirm availability, request the crust texture you prefer, and check the bill carefully when using an Entertainer voucher. The restaurant has no own restroom, though the mall facilities are nearby.
