Russo’s is at it again in the United Arab Emirates.
Launching off of its meteoric growth across the region, Russo’s New York Pizzeria announced today a signed franchise agreement in the UAE. The chef-driven, Houston-based Italian restaurant brand known worldwide for its fresh ingredients has signed the agreement with its well-established UAE restaurant developer and operator, Prime Hospitality. The new restaurant is slated to open in early 2016 at Dubai’s Silicon Oasis, the sleek and futuristic home of Dubai’s rising tech industry.
“Russo’s New York Pizzeria is already becoming a household name in the UAE. We’re bringing the very best of traditional Italian fare and spreading it across the country with a trendy and family-friendly atmosphere,” said founder and CEO Chef Anthony Russo. “Silicon Oasis is leading the charge of tech companies in the UAE, and Russo’s is proud to be an original part of this state-of-the-art community. We will be the first to give Silicon Oasis hand-crafted New York-style pizza and hand-made pastas, soups, salads and sandwiches, in a cozy yet luxurious setting.”
