La Rocca Pizza & Pasta — Restaurant in Scranton

In a world where mediocre pizza reigns supreme, where the quest for the ultimate slice remains unfulfilled, one pizza rises above the rest. Prepare for an epic culinary adventure as we embark on a journey to taste the legendary creation known as the Sausage and Olive pizza from La Rocca.

Picture this: a golden, perfectly crisp crust, its edges subtly charred to perfection. As you take your first bite, the crust yields to reveal a sea of vibrant, homemade marinara sauce, rich with tomatoes and spices. But this is just the beginning.

The hero of this tale? A generous layer of melted mozzarella cheese, bubbling and stretching like molten lava, uniting the bold flavors that lie beneath. Enter the saviors of this pizza odyssey: succulent, seasoned sausage, so tender and flavorful it might just make you believe in miracles. Each bite is an explosion of savory delight, with the sausage's rich, spicy notes intertwining with the cheese's creamy embrace.

But wait – the climax of this saga arrives with the arrival of plump, briny olives, scattered like precious gems across the canvas of cheese and sausage. Their bracing tang adds a layer of complexity and depth, cutting through the richness with a delightful contrast that leaves your taste buds yearning for more.

This isn't just pizza; it's an epic, a symphony of flavors that will make you stand up and cheer. It's a masterpiece that defies the ordinary, a slice of perfection so profound it could change your very understanding of what pizza can be.

Are you ready to taste the legend? The Sausage & Olive pizza is more than a meal—it's an experience that will leave you breathless, exhilarated, and deeply satisfied. Witness...

Garlic knots, although looked fantastic, were a huge disappointment. The knots themselves were bland and dry on the inside, and were it not for the tons of melted butter and garlic POWDER (not even real pieces of garlic) I would have tossed them onto my backyard for the birds to eat. Bit they probably would have stayed away from them too. Not fit for the birds. Sadly, I won't...

My father was born and raised in NYC, and he taught me everything I know about good pizza. I just know he would've loved this place. When I discovered this new peculiar pizza place right down the street from me back in March, I knew I had to pop in and try a slice.

And honestly it was among the best NY style slices I've tried in the greater Scranton-Wilkes area. Now whenever my family wants pizza, this is where we get it, every time. Reasonable prices, a true "large" pie size (most places consider a 16" pie a large, but I don't, and neither does this place—they do it right, their large is 18"), high quality pizza, and to top it all off it's a family owned business. Doesn't get...
