LaRosa's held a ribbon-cutting for a new pizzeria at 3410 Highland Ave. in Cincinnati, about a mile from its former Woodford Road location. The new site is twice the size of the Woodford Road pizzeria and adds dine-in seating, drive-up and pickup windows, and kiosk ordering.
Why it matters
The Woodford Road pizzeria had served Pleasant Ridge and Kennedy Heights for more than 30 years, and the move gives the chain a larger footprint in Cincinnati. The new location keeps the same delivery area as the former restaurant.
The Highland Avenue location is twice the size of the Woodford Road pizzeria and sits about a mile away. Pizza by the slice is offered daily from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 to 8 p.m., and the source does not report revenue or sales figures for the new site.

Market Landscape
The Highland Avenue pizzeria follows a broader move among Cincinnati pizza operators toward combining dine-in seating with drive-up windows, kiosks and by-the-slice service. The change places LaRosa's in a competitive local market where convenience formats increasingly shape how customers order.
Customers near Highland Avenue can now order pizza by the slice during daily service windows, or use drive-up and kiosk options instead of calling ahead. Residents of Pleasant Ridge and Kennedy Heights will need to travel about a mile farther to reach the chain's nearest location.
The takeaway
Customers who used the Woodford Road pizzeria should note the new Highland Avenue address and its expanded ordering options when planning their next order.
