Ladera Country Shopper in Ladera will soon be home to Rusty’s Roadside Grill, an East Coast-style pizzeria from the owner of Old Port Lobster Shack.

Owner Russell Deutsch, who describes himself as an East Coast “exile,” opened his first New England-style seafood restaurant in Redwood City 2006. Two other locations followed in subsequent years: One also at the Ladera shopping center on Alpine Road, and another in San Jose.

Now, missing another East Coast culinary specialty – thin crust pizza – he’s opening this month Rusty’s Roadside Grill, which will serve pizza made in an Italian stone-fired conveyor oven (check it out in action on the restaurant’s Facebook page. Rusty’s will also serve burgers and milkshakes, because “I love milkshakes and burgers are good too, so what the heck,” Deutsch said.
