Not sure about the dining in atmosphere but the pickup area is nice & the food is good (slightly above average). The Larosa's company, as a whole, is still consistently in our top 4 favorite pizza places. But over the last 5-10yrs, weekly visits have dwindled to monthly visits mostly due to a decline in taste, some undercooking issues (not at this location as of yet) & a few other random issues that have led to no longer justifying the continuation of, & even increasing in some aspects, typical Larosa's elitist ego pricing & their sparse coupon or deal offerings. And I'm still not sure exactly what the "rewards" program is or offers cause barely ever even get e-mails about decent promotions & have no point redemption options or credits ever.
To be fair, some issues like the increasingly frustrating instances of undercooked food & conveniently missing paid add-ons (extra cheese, sauces etc.) from way too many restaurants is about to become a pandemic itself. Like how is it that the cooking time for the same item that's been sold for decades has somehow changed so drastically that it's hard to avoid under- or overcooking it? Take note on those limp fries McDonald's.
While some haven't noticed a drastic change in the taste of the pizza sauce, I feel it has declined sometime in the past few years. And we consistently pay for extra sauce cups that we never end up getting but who's going to waste 10 minutes each time just to get $1 back?
Hopefully, some constructive criticism now will make it more likely that we'll still be eating Larosa's for a long...
Read moreLaRosa's had been my 1st choice for Italian foods for years, since their Reading Road location with all the high school athletic honors on the walls. I used to always order salad, but a few years ago, to me, the quality of salads went down so I stopped ordering salads. I recently ordered CALZONES delivered to Silverton (not sure from which location it came, not on ticket taped to box). The CALZONES arrived hot, and with good amounts of chesse. But the other ingredients I ordered in them (I ordered 2) were almost nonexistent. Only 2 small morsels of sausage, about 3 bits of mushroom, very little ham, and very little spinach! Both were 90% dough, 6% cheese, 4% other. I feel it was a waste of money.
LaRosa's gave me credit for the order. THANK...
