La Rosa (NASDAQ:LRHC) Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LRHC) is a holding company that owns, operates and franchises LaRosa’s Pizzeria, a regional restaurant chain based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The company’s core business revolves around fast‐casual dining, with a focus on pizza and Italian‐inspired menu items served through dine-in, carry-out and delivery channels.
Founded in 1954 by Vincenzo “Buddy” LaRosa, LaRosa’s Pizzeria has grown from a single storefront into a network of over 30 locations across Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. The menu features signature pizza recipes developed by the LaRosa family, alongside calzones, pasta dishes, submarine sandwiches, salads and desserts. The brand emphasizes scratch-made sauces and dough, as well as high-quality ingredients sourced both locally and regionally.
In 2023, La Rosa Holdings completed a transition to a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq, creating a dedicated corporate structure to support further growth and franchising initiatives. This strategic move positions the company to expand its footprint while maintaining the operational flexibility and family culture that have defined the business for nearly seven decades.
The company’s leadership remains closely tied to the LaRosa family, with executive management overseeing restaurant operations, brand development and franchise support. Headquartered in Cincinnati, La Rosa Holdings combines longstanding family traditions with a modern approach to fast-casual dining and regional expansion.
