LAROSA’S ENGLEWOOD PIZZERIA CLOSED
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Centerville Family Pizzeria to Continue Serving Dayton-Area Guests
CINCINNATI, OH – November 2, 2020– LaRosa’s, Inc. announced today that its pizzeria at 7712 Hoke Road in Englewood (suburban Dayton) has permanently closed. Since 2006, the Englewood pizzeria provided the community with pick-up and delivery service and had a particularly popular dining room. However, challenges from the closure of the dining room due to COVID-19 and the imminent expiration of its lease, made operating the Englewood pizzeria no longer feasible. Both hourly and salaried LaRosa’s Englewood team members will receive severance compensation; some have been offered employment at LaRosa’s Centerville.
“Our team has worked tirelessly to make the Englewood pizzeria a success, and we were making progress prior to the mandatory closure of our dining room because of COVID-19. Unfortunately, Englewood’s pick-up and delivery business along with only limited dine-in seating wasn’t enough to keep us going”, said Michael LaRosa, CEO of LaRosa’s, Inc. “We are so appreciative of the efforts of each and every one of our team members. And we want to thank all of our Englewood guests for their love and support over the past 14 years”.
LaRosa’s entered the Dayton market in 2002 with the opening of its Centerville pizzeria at 291 E. Alex-Bell Road. “With our Centerville pizzeria now our only Dayton location, we’re going to work even harder to make our guests smile”, LaRosa said. “We hope the friends that we’ve served throughout Dayton over the past nearly 20 years will stop into our Centerville dining room or pick up an order” he said. LaRosa’s Gift Cards or Buddy Cards can be redeemed at Centerville or any other LaRosa’s pizzeria.
