According to HotelierMiddleEast.com, “Anthony Russo, owner of Russo’s New York Pizzeria and Russo’s Coal Fired Italian Kitchen has announced expansion into the UAE after awarding exclusive UAE territory rights to Dubai based Prime Hospitality, a division of Ghobash Trading & Investment Company. The agreement plans for 26 additional units in the Gulf alone over the next decade. This move follows Russo’s appearance at the Gulfood exhibition, where the company served its signature 28-inch party pizza. ‘We chose Prime Hospitality as our partner for the UAE as their philosophy is similar to ours: a commitment to quality and fresh ingredients while offering our customers a most memorable experience for a reasonable price’ Russo said.”
