But, rather than being a neighborhood pizza parlor in lots of neighborhoods they decided they wanted to compete with Domino's and Papa John's et al. And, as someone said early in the thread, it is better than shitty Papa John's. But that is like saying "our tacos are better than Taco Bell" of "our burgers are better than McDonald's." It isn't that hard to be just barely better than mediocre shit fast food and the LaRosa family has made a mint doing just that, but the quality of the pizza and all the food there is a far cry from what it was in the early years.

Yeah, you can tell a real difference in the quality over the last decade or so. It seemed to start when they ran the 4 medium pizzas for 7.99 each promo. I would pick some up in Dry Ridge on the way home every now and then just out of sheer nostalgia for the pizza I ate when I was a kid. It ain't it anymore.
That said some of their toppings taste different and better than other pizza places. The ham and pepperoni are pretty good there. And yes, I still eat it when I go to Kings Island once a year.
