Nobu, that's me

Great pizza dudes. Great staff dudettes. The single slice was a little too brown on bottom but I know how hard it is to heat up the single slices. It still tasted great. The people make this location pop. Great people.

My family and I stopped at this place for the first time on Fourth of July, right before the fireworks show! I was surprised they were open. Nice and clean restaurant. The staff member, Miguel was very attentive to our requests! Ask for him when you come here. We'll be coming back soon. Thank you for your hospitality.

Had a fantastic time here! Great gluten-free pizza. Wife liked her Hawaiian as well. Haven't tried the dessert yet, but I bought some. Looking forward to the cheesecake! It was kind of out of the way, so we didn't have to take out a second mortgage on a house just to get a parking space. Pretty nice to find a place with parking in this city.

We had heard great things about the place from a few picky eaters we know. Since we were hanging out in Galveston, we thought we would give it a try. Reserve judgments until you walk in, not by the outside appearance. It's a nice building, but it doesn't scream Italian food. Nicely decorated Italian interior. Food was great. I opted for the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and a slice of pepperoni to go for later. The pasta was cooked perfectly. I would have liked the chicken to have been blackened or grilled. It seemed like it had been boiled. It still tasted good. Overall, the Fettuccine Alfredo was very good, and the pizza I had later at home was excellent as well. Do yourself a favor and try it out. We were pleased.

I love how here you can order pizzas however you would like. You can order a build your own pizza by the slice or by the size. You can select how many toppings you want and pay each topping. And the prices of the toppings are based on the size of the pizza. That’s the first time I’ve seen a restaurant do it that way. They also have specialty pizzas if you would like to build your own. They offer some amazing desserts for after your dinner. We purchased a slice of tiramisu to share and it was the largest piece I’ve ever seen. It literally fed two people. And it was delicious! Also other types of dishes, too. If I ever make it back to Galveston, I will definitely try pasta dish. Theylooked delicious also.

Absolutely fantastic food and the staff is friendly and incredibly well trained. The specials are always great. I love the text alerts sent out about deals and specials- I also enjoy their loyalty program as I go there often . I only gave three stars on the atmosphere because they really, really need to clean the walls and repaint. I mean really.

Fast delivery. Friendly driver. Old School Pepperoni Slice with Ricotta was the best ever. Salad was fresh and crisp. Delicious tiramisu and generous portions all around. Would highly recommend.

I was really craving a melty kind of cheese pizza and Russo’s delivered it! The music was there and so was the service, appetizer and entree was delicious to their desserts. Ate and left now crumbs, I would come again with a bigger party to get that 28 inch pizza!
