Russo's New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen | South Padre Island

Came here with family late at night, maybe 1 hour and half before closing. The restaurant itself was busy but we were seated immediately. Being a group of 6 we ordered an appetizer of wings and garlic knots which were very good. As for the pizza we ordered the XL PIZZA that could have fed more than the 6 in our group. Went with half pepperoni and half mushroom. The slices were huge but very good! It is a thinner pizza so keep that in mind. The service was great as well, with the server coming often to check on us. We will definitely be back and recommend this location as well.

Russo’s Pizzeria was one of the best pizzas we’ve had in a long time! The service was really good with the host being very generous with allowing our dog to sit with us.(outside of course!). He even brought him water! The dipping sauce for the bread was excellent! I just wish they had better outside fans. They didn’t go very fast and not all of them worked. Thank you for everything!

10/10 def recommend. Was seated and served quickly. Ms Adele was my server. She did an amazing job! 🥰. I received bread prior to my food. I'm ordered cheese slice and cannoli. My food came in good time and tasted amazing. Price was good for what I received. She checked on me frequently and it was a time killer while waiting to check into my hotel. Would def come back.

We keep coming back, and this place never disappoints. The Alfredo pasta was excellent, and the pizza was absolutely delicious as always. The Greek salad was also a pleasant surprise fresh, flavorful, and one of our favorite dishes of the night. The only small issue was that the spaghetti and meatballs could have used a bit more sauce, and we ended up asking for extra. As for the tiramisu, I would have loved a stronger coffee flavor, as it tasted a little mild for my preference. That said, the service was outstanding. The entire staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming, just as they always are. Looking forward to coming back soon!

Russo’s Pizzeria has the best gluten-free pizza on the island—hands down. The gluten-free crust was fantastic (not dry or crumbly), and it’s clear they put real care into their food. My husband ordered a regular pizza and absolutely loved it too, which says a lot when both GF and non-GF diners leave happy. Our server, Russell, was friendly, helpful, and attentive, making the experience even better. And the bellinis were amazing—perfectly made and such a nice bonus. Great food, great drinks, great service. We would 100% come back and highly recommend it, especially if you’re gluten-free and tired of settling.
