Russo’s New York Pizzeria is truly a charming pizzeria located inside Jumeriah Centre. The main entrance of the center directly leads one to the outlet. The outlet had a dark chocolate brown color scheme with parquet of the same tone. They offer ample indoor seating.
I visited the outlet on a Sunday afternoon and the outlet was nice and calm. I felt as if the outlet was exclusively serving me as I was the only customer in the outlet. However, there were many who had placed the orders for take way. All the staff therefore welcomed me with a smile. Within 2-3 minutes, they served me slices of garlic bread. However, these were without cheese, but served with different condiments. The 3 dips served sauce of roasted bell pepper, spicy red chili sauce, and a mix of black olive and anchovy tapenade. The Roasted bell pepper had a blend of mild spiciness and really complemented the garlic bread slices really well. The chilly sauce served the purpose of spicy food lovers and the black olive and anchovy tapenade had a flavor of blended black olives served in thick consistency. For main course, I placed an order for a medium sized Pesto Chicken which was priced at AED 55. To my memory it had 8 slices and could serve 2-3 people. The pizza was something unique and looked really healthy as it was a very leafy pizza at its appearance. The leaf used was the fresh spinach and was widely spread across the pizza. The pizza was also topped with grilled chicken cubes, feta cheese along with mozzarella cheese. The crust of the pizza was thin and had their signature pesto sauce as the base. The pizza was also served within 5-10 minutes. They serve 3 sizes, which are 12”, 16” and 28”. The 28” is extremely large and I have never come across such a serving size is Dubai. To sum up, if you are looking for a calm meal; head down to Russo Pizzeria which is both economical and extremely satisfying. It is also an outlet for extreme fast service. However, the only negativity i could come up was that the pizza was a bit oily under the crust |
