Authentic Italian Dining in Oregon, WI
La Rocca's Pizzeria was founded by Vito and Cathy La Rocca, native Italians with decades of experience in the restaurant industry. After working in Italian restaurants in Rockford, Illinois, the couple established their own business in Stoughton, Wisconsin in 1982. Following a nine-year return to Sicily, they relocated to Wisconsin permanently in 2002, operating first in Brooklyn before moving to Oregon in 2012. Our family-owned establishment specializes in authentic Italian cuisine crafted from scratch using fresh ingredients and recipes passed down through generations.We maintain hands-on involvement in every dish prepared, ensuring quality and authenticity in our pizzas, pastas, and specialty dishes. With over 40 years of combined experience in Italian hospitality, we pride ourselves on sharing our culinary heritage through meals that reflect traditional Sicilian flavors. Our commitment to quality extends to our catering services, which feature classic Italian antipasti, salads, entrees, and desserts for events of all sizes.
