Houston-Based Russo's Coal-Fired Italian Kitchen

Can South Florida support another coal-fired pizza joint? Houston-based Russo’s Coal-Fired Italian Kitchen has opened its first South Florida franchise in Pembroke Pines. Pembroke Pines resident Karla Thomas, 26, her mother and two siblings, spent more than seven months transforming 3,300 square feet of space into a sophisticated and upscale pizzeria. Thomas said the restaurant is a tribute to her grandfather who left the family money after he died in March 2010 asking them to invest in something that would benefit them in the future. --Lily Rano [EaterWire]
