Reviews for Russo's New York Pizzeria - South Padre Island in South Padre Island, TX

We never thought we would end up at a Pizza place while we were in SPI. Of course we were mainly looking for seafood. BUT I feel... we were lead here after long waits everywhere else and this place DID NOT disappoint! The food was amazing and our waitress Aylawas super sweet as well. She had lots of knowledge about the menu and was very helpful. The food was amazing and seasonedperfectly! We also noticed they sell HUGE pizzas too which I thought was really cool! They also had a great view of the sunsetas well! Read more

Came down from Boston and tried 3 local places in a row, it was tough comparing it to one of the other stops BUT after a fair... review , apples to apples this spot won fair and square. 3 of us reviewed the pizza and this location scored a 7.2 out of 10. Weare VERY tough on scoring pizzas but this is the best on the island after a fair and detailed evaluation. Sauce was great,dough/crust is not bad, cheese was good. It?s a brick overnight pie and staff was great. So overall they won as our final choicefor best in South Padre Read more

The service is fast and friendly. On a Saturday night there were few customers with plenty of seating available. The ice tea was... horrible, it was very sour. The pizza is bland, that's the best way to describe it. The pizza sauce is almost non existent, andthe bit that there is is just bland. Also, the toppings are not thoroughly cooked. The sandwich was mostly bread, I regrettedgetting it. I do not recommend this place. Read more

Don't where to start! The wings were super delicious! They had a really good deep fried crust and the buffalo sauce was lip... smacking good. Only had the 5 but when they said jumbo I was skeptical. Unfortunately our hunger took over our brains and wereacted late for a picture. I would not skip on the wings as an app! And to finish off with the pizza we got the truffleburrata and prosciutto. Wanted to try a signature pizza of there and did not disappoint! The service was great! The server wasvery attentive and fast with our food! Read more

The ambiance, the decor is top notch. The food is phenomenal, especially if you are looking for New York style pizza. They use... fresh ingredients. Our server Nadia was phenomenal, professional and courteous. Even manager came over to check on us. They carefor their customers. Definitely recommend everyone if you are in town. Read more

Ordered takeout for my family and I. It was all good, the best being the pizza. The crust was thin but great, not too much... sauce, and the seasoning was nice. The garlic knots were delicious as well, however the sauce was very thin.. I do recommend it. Read more

Great service and food! Food was so good I ate most of it before I remembered to take a picture. We had the cheese cake, carrot... cake and chocolate cake and all were delicious. Will be our go to place next time we are at the island. Read more

The pizza was so good! It's thin crust, sauce, and personalized toppings were made beautifully. As we waited on our order, we... were served bread bites and OH MY! They were the best combination of crispy and flavorful. There was a garlic dip sauce servedwith it, and while I'm not a fan of it, I won't knock it for someone else to try. Larry was a great server! He was veryattentive, kept my glass full with sweet tea, and he was kind when my son spilled his drink. The prices were reasonable,especially since we were on a tight vacation budget. Every time I come to South Padre Island I want to eat at Russo's! Such adelicious and great experience for my family. Read more
