LaRosa’s Pizzeria

I have been to this location two times in the past month and have had Missy both visits. I felt obligated to write a review just so people know how great she is! There was one seat open in the whole place and she was still very attentive and extremely nice. Love her!

A great location for LaRosa’s fans — this place is clean, well maintained, and the servers/​host staff are top notch. Not to mention, they make some of the best pizzas in the city and put a lot of care/​consideration into making their customers’ experience the best. This past weekend, my family and I had a server who took her time to ensure our complicated order was perfected and met all of our expectations. Even when we made additional requests (some extra items to go at the last minute), she was able to have the kitchen make the order a priority so we would not have to wait longer than necessary. Overall, the night was probably one of the best kinds of experiences you could have at LaRosa’s!

This is my favorite pizza in Cincinnati… By far. Had not been to this one before. It’s clean and the server was polite and efficient. I love the new coke varieties they have here… Literally over a hundred combinations. The bread sticks are awesome, but the mozzarella sticks seemed to be like something from the freezer section at the grocery store. Ok, but not anything special. I got the thin crust pizza tonight, and it was only average. The good thing, is the toppings go all the way to the edge of the pizza. I love the way the ham on the top is slightly charred and crunchy. All in all, it is a good place to go.

I would love to be able to tell you how good the food is however the last two times I tried to order from here they were not taking any orders at that time. When I called the 347‑1111 to place my order I was informed they were not taking any orders and when I inquired as to why I could not order I was informed that they had no idea that the store had closed the ordering. So if you’d like food from there maybe you will be luckier than we are and will be able to place an order!

Great pizza. We came here on a trip to the aquarium but stayed in Mason. We were looking for something quick and came across this gem. We ordered the meat lovers, wings and garlic fries. Customer service was great. We got our order in 30 mins and they delivered to our hotel room. The pizza was great. Slices were large, and I could only eat one slice. The wings were not as delightful nor were the garlic fries. I will definitely order the pizza again when im in town. Good eats

This is another Cincinnati institution but one that I never liked. I don’t know if it is the tomato sauce or what… but I don’t like it one bit. I think it is too sweet, and they put wayyyy too much on your pizza. I like a hint of tomato, not have it all over my face. I am simply not a fan, and I dreaded when my friends wanted to eat here.

LaRosa’s is one of those fond memories my husband has for the Cincinnati area, so it was a must to stop at and eat while visiting. I have never had it, but pleasantly surprised to hear they had a gluten free crust, so we were all able to eat.
This could be the best gluten free crust I’ve ever had at a restaurant. It is soft and crispy in the right places, and the flavor is excellent. I am used to the same old crackery crust from places like BJs, so this was a really good change of pace. The waitress was really nice in dealing with our questions and needing to change orders to accommodate the table’s allergies.
I don’t get tomato sauce on pizza but I did try it to see what the hype was about. Definitely not impressed. They do have a variety of pizza sauces like BBQ, ranch and Alfredo, and they were able to just put OO on for me, so no big deal.
This is a pretty chill place. I see a lot of bad reviews for the service, and yes, I do see their points. I wouldn’t come here in a hurry, but for a relaxed night out with family, I mean … who cares? It’s like complaining about service at a Godfather’s Pizza. I don’t really understand why a place like this has a wait staff, but whatever. I didn’t get sick from eating here and the food was good. I’ll be back when we visit the area.

Food was good. Service was slow, especially with empty plate removal, and drink refill. Seemed the staff was more interested in the seating arrangements posted at the host podium rather than waiting on seated customers. Direct reflection of mis management. Sorry to be so harsh, but the staff is young and needs to be directed. One of the disadvantages of having so many kids on the staff.

I’ve had it with this Larosa’s. The service is always poor. We waited 15 minutes for a seat then they sat us and two waitresses passed by our table with the 2^nd one stopping for a minute to stare at us before walking off. The pizza is always undercooked and you wait all day for your food. Don’t complain to the male grey haired manager he is rude and ignores you. There’s better pizza places out there now so you don’t have to go to Larosa’s.
Try Westshore Pizza great pizza and the management goes out of their way to make it an enjoyable experience

Somehow, we have wound up meeting different people here and not by our choice We are not native to Cincinnati, so we didn’t grow up eating it. We have always found the sauce too sweet. The lasagna and spaghetti aren’t bad. The salads are good. And if you have little ones, they give you an activity sheet with crayons and goldfish.

I came here for a kids pizza party. One star for food :(. Boring tasteless pizza and worse salty salty minestrone soup but service was prompt and friendly… so two stars total.

First off, all LaRosa’s are the same. The only thing that can really vary is the staff and the cleanliness. Expect the same food at each location.
Okay… The food sucks. Quite literally. I honestly think that people who enjoy this pizza have never ventured outside of the greater Cincinnati area because it is so awful. If you can get past the disgustingly sweet red sauce that has a remarkable similarity to the aroma of vomit, it isn’t the worst thing on the menu. Everything else is just that bad.
Do not get wine. Seriously. Get bottled beer. The glass of chianti was so bad, I’m not even sure it was wine. I think it might have been some overfermented balsamic vinaigrette. Actually scratch that… this place is so non-​real Italian they wouldn’t even have balsamic … perhaps some sugar water instead?
On a positive note, the kids seem to like the breadsticks.

For my money, this is the best salad and pizza in Mason. We love this restaurant and have eaten here several times now. I usually get the anti-​pasta salad with a medium pizza (and have several slices to take home).
The sauce does have a hint of sweetness to it; there is just the right amount of cheese and the toppings are quite good. There are several different crust to choose from and many toppings as well.
It’s a great family dining atmosphere and they have quite a few items on their menu to choose from. There are also alcoholic drinks such as wines and draft beers to choose from.

I am a big LaRosa’s fan. It’s a Cincinnati institution and a must-​try. There are a lot of tasty items, ranging from salads (JoJo’s BLT is great — that Creamy Garlic dressing is delicious) to pasta, hoagies, and, of course, pizza and calzones. The calzones with their three-​cheese blend are extremely flavorful and filling, particularly delicious with a bit of pizza sauce on the side.
Like most other Cincinnati favorites, LaRosa’s has a little twist on the typical. The pizza sauce has a touch of sweetness. It’s delicious and rich with tomato flavor, but it can surprise people who are not familiar with that extra taste.
The most exciting new addition to the menu is the gluten-​free crust, offered at several locations, including this Mason one! The crust is tender and flavorful, and it holds up well to the fabulous sauce and toppings. The gluten-​free toppings are clearly labeled on the menu, and, for the first time in my experience, we were not charged extra for ordering a gluten free pizza! A definite winner.

We eat delivery from here quite a bit; meaning, at least twice a month. We enjoy the pan style pizzas, kids meals and even their wings.
Delivery is always on time, food is hot and fresh.

I feel like I have to review LaRosa’s at least once. I picked the Mason location because I used to live right by there, but they are all pretty much the same. I like the deep dish pizza the most. The crust is good and the sauce is sweet, which I like. However, they put too much cheese on their pizza, so I get it without and loaded up with veggies. It’s also kind of strange that once in a while we order pan pizza and traditional crust and we can’t tell which is which. I’ve also had their spaghetti, which was not bad, but forgettable. Their salads are decently good because their Italian dressing is tasty (but their produce is mediocre). It’s a local chain and it’s a Cincinnati institution, so my family gets it fairly regularly, but it’s not the best pizza on earth.
