Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen Opens Its Fourth Location in Saudi Arabia, Accelerates Global Expansion

Tatyana Stemkovski2022-12-28T09:46:21-05:00December 28th, 2022|Tags: authentic Italian food dishes, fast-casual New York-style pizza, fast-casual restaurant franchise, Russo's New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen|

HOUSTON — Award-winning, Texas-based upscale casual brand Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen has opened its fourth location in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on December 19, 2022. Located at Park Avenue Mall, its 2400-sq. ft., two-story Pizzeria serves Russo’s full Italian menu including New York style pizza and pasta. Since 1978, Russo’s Founder and CEO, Chef Anthony, has been serving his original family recipes from Naples and Sicily. He prides himself on utilizing fresh, seasonal ingredients. Of course, those ingredients can be found in his premium, hand-tossed New York-style pizzas, including a giant, signature pie measuring 28 inches known as the party pizza.

Our unique menu items are what sets us apart from the rest. The Russo family promise, “If it isn’t fresh, don’t serve it,” remains as true today as it first did in 1978. We follow the same process in every location, both domestic and international.

We don’t have a commissary, and we don’t buy premade sauce or premade dough balls. We follow our old family traditions, and the consumer can taste the difference. Our family recipes have not changed over our 60 year history. Those include our fresh handmade pizza dough, meat sauce, and marinara sauce. Our sauces are made with premium San Marzano Italian tomatoes, hand crushed and simmered for 6 hours. From our salad dressings to pesto sauce to lasagna to fresh baked Tuscany bread to our homemade gnocchi pasta, our menu items are what sets us apart from other pizza chains. We carefully select our ingredients and select the best premium items to make every dish a flavor to remember.

Our menu includes salads, burrata cheese made from fresh mozzarella, Italian soups, pastas, pizzas baked in brick oven, calzones, and desserts. We also have Halal and gluten free options.

Our new location just opened December 19, 2022, in Park Avenue Mall. The 2,300-sq. ft. space will seat 160 guests and includes an outdoor patio. The restaurant is located in a remarkable mixed-use district. It will join an array of premier global food and beverage concepts in addition to a world-class hotel, theme park, department store, and cinema, where Russo’s pizza options will also be spotlighted.

“We’re thrilled to grow our international footprint and showcase our elevated upscale casual dining experience in Saudi. It is an incredibly exciting global market that I have become very fond of,” said Russo. “We are honored to have the support of our franchisees.”

Russo’s parents immigrated from Italy, settling first in New Jersey then moving to the Houston, Texas area. Anthony launched Russo’s in 1992 and has since expanded the brand in partnership with 56 locations across the United States, as well as eight restaurants situated throughout Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

We are continuing to seek out global franchise partners, specifically entrepreneurs interested in proven brands that are entirely chef-created and chef-driven. Several floorplan options provide flexible design and layout choices, spanning from pizza and delivery only to fast casual, full-service dining to full-service and elevated interiors.

About Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen

Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen is a domestic and international franchisor of fast casual restaurants featuring classic New York-style pizza and authentic Italian dishes, including handcrafted pastas, calzones, salads, sandwiches, soups, and desserts. Based in Houston, TX, Russo’s currently has 52 corporate and franchised locations across Texas, California Oklahoma and Florida, plus international sites in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. As the son of first-generation Italian immigrants, Chef, Founder and CEO Anthony Russo discovered his love of cooking at age 12, honed his culinary skills working in his parent’s fine dining Italian restaurant at age 18, and opened his first pizzeria at age 25. After launching three independent restaurants as proprietor, he created Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen, applying a trove of recipes passed down through generations to a menu made with love. At its heart, Russo’s reflects Chef Anthony’s commitment to his old world and east coast roots where food and family come first, and the kitchen is the center of all activity.

CertaPro Painters® Raises Over $150k for Breast Cancer Research

North American painting franchise surpasses fundraising goal and could help fund over 3,000 hours of life-saving research.

AUDUBON, Pa. — CertaPro Painters® surpassed its goal for its fourth annual Paint it Pink campaign, raising $152,980 for breast cancer research. This money will be donated to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) and Breast Cancer Society of Canada (BCSC) and could help fund over 3,000 hours of life-saving research for breast cancer or enroll 61 patients into clinical trials.

From Oct. 1 to Nov. 30, 153 participating franchisees throughout the U.S. and Canada donated a portion of every painting project to the Paint it Pink campaign. In previous years, the set donation amount was $10 per project, but this year, franchisees could choose whether to donate $10, $15, or $20. With this generosity, CertaPro Painters® was able to surpass its initial goal of $120k and increase the funds raised last year by $33k.

“Four years ago, one of our franchisees came to me and told me his wife passed away from breast cancer and wanted to see how our organization could help spread awareness and support the cause,” said Mike Stone, President and CEO of CertaPro Painters®. “When I realized how many women — and men — are affected by the disease each year, and how it has affected my personal life too, I knew it was the right thing to do. Working with these organizations aligns with our core values and paying it forward. It’s an honor to be involved in such a worthy cause and to watch our franchisees and customers rally around it.”

In addition to donating a percentage of each painting project to the BCRF and BCSC, CertaPro Painters® gave its training facility, also known as CertaCity, a Paint it Pink makeover. Team members painted the facility’s exterior walls pink, including a breast cancer ribbon and the campaign’s name. Many team members also shared personal stories about how breast cancer has affected their families.

BCRF is the highest-rated breast cancer organization in the U.S. and the largest private funder of breast cancer research — and metastatic breast cancer research — globally. BCSC is a Canadian non-profit charity that raises money to fund patient-focused research for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of breast cancer.

SuperGreen Solutions Integrates State of The Art Software That Gives Homeowners A Quick Solar Estimate That Can Help Them Reduce Their Electricity Bills

Tatyana Stemkovski2022-12-27T10:41:43-05:00December 27th, 2022|Tags: commercial and residential clients, renewable energy company, SuperGreen Solutions, sustainable energy|

BEL AIR, Md. — SuperGreen Solutions is thrilled to introduce its new, state of the art software that allows homeowners to get a quick, ballpark solar estimate in less than 60 seconds. This software is easy to navigate, and utilizes Google Earth imagery to analyze your roof shape and local weather patterns to create a personalized solar plan. It will then calculate your estimated electricity savings over the course of 10 years! Finally, it will walk you through financing options that will allow you to pay $0 down, for qualified homeowners.

Going solar puts the power of electricity into your hands. Continuing to use your local electricity company means you will be paying for electricity for the rest of your life and remain subject to annually increasing utility rates. With solar, you can pay to own your electricity. The government incentivizes homeowners to make the switch to solar by offering a Federal Tax Credit of 30%. Many states and municipalities also offer additional incentives to benefit you even more depending on what state you live in. This makes going solar the smart choice, not only financially, but also environmentally.

While most electricity companies use fossil fuels and coal, solar panels use the sun’s power, making it a sustainable source of clean energy.

Interested in switching to solar? SuperGreen Solutions has been in the clean energy business for over 10 years, way before it was a trending topic. We have a passion for educating homeowners about the benefits of solar, and we love serving others by using our knowledge to help reduce their energy needs and also their monthly electricity payments.

SuperGreen Solutions has helped hundreds of homeowners meet their environmental and financial goals by going solar. We’re so confident that we can save you money, that we will pay you a $100 visa gift card if we can not save you money on your first electricity bill! Speak to our friendly staff today.

Call: 888 978 7374 or visit supergreensolutions.com to find a provider near you.
