La Rocca's Restaurant & Pizzeria
La Rocca's Pizzeria is a family Italian restaurant run by Vito and Caterina La Rocca. It began as a takeout pizza place in Brooklyn, Wisconsin, in 2002, moved to Williamson Street in Madison in 2006, and early in 2012 moved again to 971 Janesville St. in Oregon[1].
History
Before La Rocca's the family ran Marsala's in Stoughton. The Oregon restaurant, which shares a building with a chiropractic clinic, had been open less than three months when it was reviewed in June 2012; the menu was Sicilian, with classic Italian-American dishes and thin-crust pizza. Of the competition in Oregon Vito La Rocca said: "Maria's (Pizza) has been there for 30 years, and they're still doing a great job"[1]. The Willy Street restaurant was named among the near east side's pizza choices in 2010[2].
Pizza
- The La Rocca Style pizza carries four cheeses, sausage, ham, bacon, mushrooms and black olives; pies from 10 to 16 inches cost $12 to $18 in 2012, with an extra-thin crust on request[1].
