Russo's New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen is set to open a multi-unit location in San Joaquin, Danville, Stockton, Modesto, California, in the summer of 2024. The Upscale Pizza restaurants will be owned and operated by first-time franchisees Dr. Shaukat Shah and his son Asad Shah.

The California location will be our casual pizza & Italian Restaurant footprint in a 1500- to 2000-square-foot location with an open kitchen design and a large outdoor patio, offering new Unique menu items (including Truffle Arancini, crispy fried Eggplant chips ) and Russo's signature 28-inch party pizzas (which serves up to 10 people).
