The Really Important Stuff - Pizza & Ice Cream

[Rock of Truth]

Last year LaRosa's and UDF teamed up and gave away pizza and ice cream when the Reds threw for 11 strike outs in a game. Were they foolish enough to run this promo again in 2013 or did they let it fade away? I had heard that both companies took a financial beating on the give aways.

I was lucky enough to take the family to 2 games where the Reds accomplished this. There were only like 7 k's through 7 and then Broxton and Chappy came through.

They not only make pizza, they make the best pizza. It is the sauce. It is just better than everywhere else. If I could get Chicago style pizza with LaRosas pizza sauce, I would be the happiest person ever (at least while eating).

I'd rather have UDF.

I ended up giving my UDF coupons away - not because I dislike UDF but because it was for ice cream scoops w/cone. I guess I could ask for the scoop in a cup, but never found out. The small pizzas were great!

I'll agree with you on the sauce, its all I use on my lasagna, and by far my favorite that you can buy in the store. however, we'll have to agree to disagree on the pizza. Its ok (edible at best when purchased at KI, but that's an unfair comparision for any chain restaurant operating in such a place) but I can think of 10 local or chain places I'd head to for pizza before I hit larossas.

I've only had Larosa's about 4 times. Twice at the GABP stand down the third base line and a couple other times in one of the resturant locations. I notice the slices of pepperoni at the game and the pizza at the resturants were not the same. At the game the pepperoni is on top of the cheese and you basically have to fold it in half to eat it but not so in the store locations. Maybe I'm not ordering the same thing since the menu is so much larger than at the game where it's just cheese or pepperoni but I wish I could find the same on the resturant menu because I love the ball park version.

I'm just the opposite - like the store version vs the ballpark. Also, LaRosa's IMHO seems to taste better after its been reheated. It's the only pizza I have that's like that.

Don't know if you'd consider trying to make it yourself, and I can't believe I'm even suggesting this, but my guess is that a stupidly easy cheat to "make" a somewhat similar dough would be to squish some corn meal into that canned crescent roll dough.

Taste is funny thing


I loath their sauce

I can eat LaRosas, but is far, far from my favorite.
