A Family Name With a Cincinnati Story
LaRosa’s started with a family, a recipe, and an idea that found a permanent place around Cincinnati tables.
It Started With Buddy
LaRosa’s story began with Donald “Buddy” LaRosa and a family recipe that would become the foundation of the business.
What started as a neighborhood pizzeria grew well beyond its first tables, but the LaRosa name—and the family recipes behind it—stayed at the center.
The Recipe People Remember
Every pizza place has sauce.
LaRosa’s has the sauce.
Its distinctive Family Recipe Pizza Sauce became one of the signatures of the brand and remains part of the pizza people have associated with LaRosa’s for generations.

Cincinnati Grew Up With LaRosa’s
Over the years, LaRosa’s became part of more than dinner.
Pizza after the game. Family nights. Birthday tables. Friday orders. The place everybody agrees on when nobody feels like cooking.
Those ordinary moments are a big part of the LaRosa’s story.
Still a Family Table
The menu has grown over the years, but LaRosa’s still comes back to a simple idea:
good food is better when there are people around to share it with.
Pull up a chair. We’ll handle dinner.
