I have it on good authority that the Alexandria LaRosa's, prominently located adjacent to the Campbell County Middle School, is uprooting and moving north to Cold Spring.

 

Rather surprising since this is such an established location, which seems to do a thriving business.

 

Problems with the building itself and some of the sewage infrastructure seems to be at the root of the cause for the move.

 

I haven't heard much more about the projected McDonalds coming to the former Burger King site, opposite the DAV. I'll have to check my source on that one.

On most nights, it looks like Pepperoncini's is much more crowded than LaRosa's. I wonder if that is also part of the motivation.

Pepperoncini's

 

My wife pointed that place out to me the other night after the District game. Is it any good?

Very average IMO. The sauce is different. Not my cup of tea.

When I order LaRosa's, usually where I get it from most often, I'm not sure which location it came from, I'm assuming Alexandria.

 

Where is it going in Cold Spring?

 

Any idea if there is anything going in where Raniero's used to be? And before that Blockbuster.

They're not really in the strip mall business anymore. I would expect a new building somewhere. There's plenty of land around. I would assume it would be somewhere by the new Kroger/HomeDepot/Staples development.

Food is good but the service has not been great the times we have been there.

Not anywhere near as good as LaRosa's.

We like their sampler pizza, haven't tried anything else. I prefer others.

LaRosa's trumps Pepperocini's on everything except their sampler pizza, the bar, and the fact they aren't a chain. You can actually make a personal connection at Pepperocini's (guest bartenders raise money for great causes) even though LaRosa's has the superior product.

Never cared for LaRosa's pizza. Too sweet. The one out in Alexandria was a dump.

Same here. But I do like their hoagies & calzones.

Exactly what I order if I'm made to go to a LaRosa's.

This is long overdue, went in their one time and the smell of sewage would knock you down. Only went there because Reds had 10 or 12 strikeouts(whatever it is) and got free pizza. Guess free LaRosa's trumps the scent of raw sewage.

even though LaRosa's has the superior product.

 

A sad commentary on the pizza market in the jewel of Campbell County.
