Russo’s New York Pizzeria has announced plans to launch several locations of a microbrewery concept, Russo’s New York Italia Pizza Kitchen & Brewery, including one at 3415 Katy Freeway slated to open in early 2020. The Heights-area location was eyed for another concept in 2016, but received new building permits May 15. The concept will offer pizza and pasta dishes, as well as brewed in-house craft beers. The company expects to open more than 20 brewery locations in Arizona, Florida, Tennessee, Texas and internationally, according to a news release.
