LaRosa’s is turning up the heat with a new limited-time pizza built for customers who prefer a little more spice in every bite. The Cincinnati-based family pizzeria has introduced its Hot Italian Pizza, combining hot link sausage, spicy sausage, and giardiniera peppers. Guests looking for an additional kick can also add a special Habanero Slice Spice. The pizza will remain on the menu through January 24, 2027.
The new offering reflects the company’s effort to respond to evolving customer tastes while continuing to serve established favorites. Mike LaRosa, CEO of LaRosa’s, Inc., said the company listens to guest feedback and looks for opportunities to enhance the dining experience. He pointed to growing interest in spicier foods as a reason for developing the new combination.
Customers can order the Hot Italian Pizza on traditional thin, hand-tossed, or crispy pan crust, as well as a gluten-free cauliflower crust. The launch joins a menu featuring more than 40 selections, available for dine-in, pickup, and delivery at LaRosa’s neighborhood pizzerias.
For restaurant brands introducing seasonal items or limited-time menu additions, social channels can help build awareness, showcase new products, and remind customers when an offering is available. The Social Media feature available through Gorilla Dash provides franchise businesses with a way to coordinate and manage their social content across their marketing efforts.
Founded in 1954 by Buddy LaRosa on Cincinnati’s West Side, LaRosa’s has grown into a restaurant company with 60 pizzerias across Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Its Hot Italian Pizza adds a temporary option to the established menu, giving customers a new flavor combination to try before the promotion ends in January.
