Russ Pizza Brooklyn Reviews
Oh my God this place is amazing Such a good chef
great pizza options, friendly service.
A true neighborhood classic. Their pizza has that old-school NYC taste that’s getting harder and harder to find these days. My go-to is the Hawaiian pie — always perfectly balanced, with that crisp crust and just the right amount of cheese. I love that traditional flavor they’ve kept all these years. Places like this are what make Brooklyn special.
I know this place since September 1979 and always was the best. I knew Mr. Russ and Salvadore
Top notch. Stumbled upon it while walking by. First the smell got me then the ambiance and then the pizza sealed the deal. The dudes working were pretty chill too. Should be on everyone's go to list.
The best pizza in Greenpoint. Sure there are fancy places all around popping up, but remember, this is where everyone used to grab a bite before it turned to Manhattan. It is as old school as it gets! Thank you Russ for sticking around this long!
The most extraordinary vodka sauce pesto pizza I’ve had in my life! The crust is so perfect and crispy. Every bite was buttery, crunchy and moist. 10/10 and will be getting it again. The staff make you feel at home and are very welcoming!
This was old Russ pizza. Russ was old owner back in high he 80s. He gave to guy Sal to run then Sal gave it to hector and now hector and Freddy run it together. Hector used to work for Sal. Glad to see that he’s running it. My wife and I stop by once a month for a quick bite. She gets chicken Parmesan hero and I usually get a slice. They have restroom and plenty of tables. Best of luck guys!
If you're a fan of chicken Parmesan, I highly recommend visiting Russ pizzeria. Their chicken Parmesan is simply amazing! The chicken is cooked to perfection, the sauce is delicious and the cheese is melted and gooey. It's definitely the best chicken Parmesan I've ever had. The restaurant has a great atmosphere with friendly staff members. If you're looking for a delicious meal, this is the place to go!
Revised from 2015. Russ Pizza has been at this location for years now. I'm being honest by writing that there pizza has very good flavor. They serve up many different flavors, ingredients and a lot of choices as well like beef patties, kanish, chicken and sausage rolls and ect... I've been coming here for over 8 years now and anytime I happen to be in the neighborhood, I make a stop and get myself some pizza slices or items. Some of my favorites are the Chicken Cesar Salad, Buffalo Chicken and the pepperoni chip's. They even had a nice make over in decor inside. I need to update new pictures as well.
Would have been my favourite pizza restaurant in the world if it hadn’t been for the 290mph air conditioning unit above my face
Have gone here many times over the past 40+years of living in Greenpoint and they just keep getting worse and worse.Pizza slices showed up late and ice cold. When I called prior to check up on it, the guy barked at me on the phone. Not the first time this has happened. They're not customer friendly. Pizza might have been good if it was fresh and even warm. This was the last time.
“Beware of the closing time pizza” I didn’t really pay attention to the time. I just booked my order through DoorDash. I have ordered from Russ quite a few times and I have considered them to be tied with Nonna’s pizzeria (As one and two best delivery pizzas in greenpoint) but not tonight. My pie appeared to be reheated because it was overcooked and after biting into the pizza , you could have easily confused the crust with the cardboard box it came in. I was very disappointed in my Friday night’s pizza. Perhaps, I will try again but much earlier in the evening next time.
Ordered a slice and pepperoni rolls to go. Unfortunately, the food tasted stale and poorly stored. I also felt uncomfortable being repeatedly asked if I wanted to order more after declining.
Absolutely so suprised that they said I had to buy something to use the bathroom! I brought my 4 year old daughter inside and they refused her to use the bathroom unless I bought something and I wouldn’t recommend giving them your business because they only care about money clearly. The food also looked VERY DRY and old.. do better.
Born and raised in greenpoint.... been to this place a lot over my lifetime... but boy, did this place go downhill.... 17 bucks for a 3 shrimp parm hero.... horrible!!! I was very shocked and highly disappointed in it. I wouldn't go back honestly l, and btw ordered a veal cutlet hero also, and it tasted horrible. The worse 35 bucks I spent on a dinner in a very long time
