Russo's New York Pizzeria:

It's not new. It's not hip. I wouldn't even call it quaint.....but it's Meyerland's true neighborhood pizza joint and it's stellar!

One bite of their New York style pizza, and you forget Russo's is even a local chain.

Growing up in Meyerland - this was my go-to pizza place. They sell by the slice, by, the pie, and in the right circumstance by the ton.

By the ton? Not quite, but they do offer an XL that could feed the Texans Football Team - a slight exaggeration. 28 inches of fresh, garlicky, pizza squares under $30 (toppings are extra) will barely fit in your trunk. The good news is...THEY DELIVER! Good luck getting it through your front door though. I kid.

Russo's offers pizza in all shapes, sizes and flavors.

I've yet to explore their pasta or specialty menu because I pine for their pie, but it's long and varied (lobster ravioli, anyone?).

Keep in mind that Russo's is more than just pizza delivery. A party of any size can dine comfortably and casually in this family friendly restaurant. You'll be just as pleased with thier counter service as you are with the pizza.

I recently placed an order for an XL (half margarita, half veggie-complete with artichokes) as well as a bulk house salad.

30 minutes and $75 dollars later, I was hosting a party of 12 very satisfied ladies. The craziest part, I still had enough leftovers to feed a family of 4! That's value.

So when you are ordering for Superbowl, don't forget your neighborhood Russo's: New York flavor, Houston prices.
