  • LaRosa's Pizza is a restaurant chain local to the Greater Cincinnati and Greater Dayton areas in Ohio, as well as Northern Kentucky and southeast Indiana. It was founded by Donald "Buddy" LaRosa, along with fellow workers Sal and Ralph, in 1954. Later, Donald "Buddy" LaRosa bought out his partners, making him the sole owner. From the original Italian Inn (now remodeled) on Boudinot Avenue in Westwood, the family and franchise partners now operate more than 60 locations. LaRosa's is famous for the old slogan, "Tastes so Good, You Want it Bad", and now, "That's What Makes us LaRosa's". The company has annual sales approaching $100 million. LaRosa's signature pizza is a thin crust variety made with a distinctive thick, sweet sauce and topped with provolone cheese. LaRosa's sauce can be purchased at many Cincinnati grocery stores and many other vendors. In 1991, LaRosa's invested heavily in the implementation and marketing of a single number call distribution center for delivery orders. Its phone number is prominently featured in advertising. LaRosa's is very popular in the area, exceeding Snappy Tomato Pizza, Donatos Pizza, Pizza Hut and Papa John's in market share. In addition to the retail stores, LaRosa's Pizza is the exclusive pizza served at the Kings Island and Coney Island amusement parks. Also, in 2007, LaRosa's partnered with the Cincinnati Reds to begin a service that allows fans within Great American Ballpark to have a pizza delivered to their seat. The fans contact the call center via cell phone to place the order and the pizza is delivered from one of three locations within the stadium. Many members of the LaRosa family still run the business and have been very active in sponsoring local youth sports programs. On February 27, 2008 Michael LaRosa was installed as the new CEO of LaRosa's, Inc. T.D. Hughes (CEO, LaRosa's 1990-2007) remains the Chairman of the Board.
