PHOENIX - eTradeWire -- Russo's New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen is inviting qualified franchise candidates to discuss Arizona development, with markets of interest including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert and Tucson. Each inquiry will be reviewed for operator qualifications, site suitability and territory availability. This announcement does not represent signed agreements or scheduled openings.

Founded by Chef Anthony Russo, the Houston-based brand brings New York-style pizza together with a full Italian kitchen. Its family-inspired menu includes pizza, pasta, calzones, salads and desserts, giving operators a concept that serves dine-in, takeout, delivery and catering occasions.

Evaluating Arizona Restaurant Sites
For Phoenix-area candidates, the development conversation starts with a specific trade area rather than a statewide promise. Prospective operators should evaluate residential neighborhoods, workplace lunch demand, parking, delivery access and the surrounding restaurant mix. Tempe candidates can consider university-area dining patterns, while Tucson candidates can assess neighborhood and campus-adjacent locations. These are site-selection considerations, not claims that particular sites are available or will achieve specific sales.
