Russo’s builds out two prototypes—full-size units in suburban malls and smaller express units in food courts and nontraditional spaces. This year the chain announced it would be expanding to Europe. In 2008, Russo’s created a sister concept called Russo’s Coal-Fired Italian Kitchen, which also is part of the company’s franchising portfolio. The menu goes beyond pizza, offering a wide selection of authentic and contemporary Italian dishes.
