## Story

Russo’s New York Pizzeria Expands to Manila, Philippines with Fresh-Made Italian Cuisine

Russo’s New York Pizzeria, known for its chef-driven New York-style pizza and Italian cuisine, is set to open its first location in Manila, Philippines. Partnering with the Le Frank Group, Chef Russo plans to bring the flavors of Little Italy to the Filipino market by opening over 10 stores in the region. The restaurant will offer a variety of fresh-made menu items made with premium, high-quality ingredients, including New York-style pizzas, pastas, salads, calzones, and more.

With a focus on providing options for all dietary needs, Russo’s menu includes gluten-free and vegan choices to cater to a wider range of guests. The brand’s commitment to freshness and quality is evident in its slogan, “If it isn’t fresh, don’t serve it.” This dedication to excellence has led to the successful international growth of Russo’s, with recent openings in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and upcoming locations in Texas.

As Russo’s continues to expand both domestically and internationally, the brand is looking for franchise opportunities in global markets for individuals who share a passion for fresh, quality food. With franchise models for pizza delivery and casual dining, Russo’s offers customizable store sizes ranging from 1,300 sq. ft. to 3,000 sq. ft., with investments ranging from $295,000 to $950,000. For those interested in joining the Russo’s family, franchise development opportunities can be found on the Russo’s website.

Russo’s Restaurants, the franchisor of Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen, is based in Houston and has a mix of corporate and franchised locations across the United States. With locations in Texas, Oklahoma, California, and Florida, as well as international markets like Dubai and the UAE, Russo’s has established itself as a leader in the casual dining industry.
