New Burrata Pizzas in Time for National Pizza Day at Russo’s New York Pizzeria & Italian Kitchen | News

By Amanda M. Rye 3 weeks ago

HOUSTON, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The birthplace of burrata cheese is southern Italy. Created from the scraps (or ritagli) of mozzarella curds being placed inside a still-hot cheese pouch, burrata cheese is a labor of love that’s traditionally wrapped in leaves of asphodel. The buffalo’s in southern Italy graze on rich forage, making their milk full-bodied, resulting in burrata cheese being one of the most premium creamy cheeses in the world.

Chef Russo brings this traditional topping to his 2021 menu. Burrata goes great on artisan breads, pastas, and pizzas. With national pizza day being Tuesday 2.9.21, Chef Russo is early releasing two new burrata pizzas! These cheesy masterpieces come with the highest quality burrata we could get our hands on. Grab one of these in a medium 12″, between 2.8.21 and 2.14.21, for only $10! Remember, these $10 burrata pizza deals are only available for

Chinese New Year is almost here. The first day of the celebration of the Year of the Ox begins next Friday.

It’s generally a 16-day event, but popularly observed for about a week. Feb. 12 is the starting point.

You don’t have to be observing the Chinese custom to enjoy the egg rolls, though. The recipe is here in case you want an idea if you are planning a do, or just inspiration for a lunch or dinner treat.

By Amanda M. Rye 3 weeks ago

Customer loyalty and a reputation for quality food have sustained Antimo’s Italian Kitchen in Hopewell Borough throughout the pandemic.

With indoor dining in New Jersey restricted to 25 percent of each restaurant’s capacity, the focus is on contactless curbside pickup, says owner Antimo Iovine.

“Ninety-five percent of our business is curbside pickup,” he said, since reopening after the initial state-ordered closure at the start of the pandemic.

Customers order their food and pay online, park in a spot designated for pickup, pop their trunk (making sure there is room for the food) and call the restaurant to let them know they have arrived. Staff members bring out their food and put it in the trunk.

Iovine said he has
