Kentucky-based development company One Holland will introduce Cincinnati-based LaRosa's Family Pizzeria to Louisville, Kentucky, in the fall of 2022. The restaurant will be paired with a First Watch at 10641 Fischer Park Drive, according to a press release.

"Central Kentucky has rallied around our LaRosa's pizzerias and we've continued to hear from LaRosa's fans in Louisville how much they wanted their own LaRosa's," Gary Holland, CEO of One Holland, said in the release. "We truly want to get to know our neighbors in Louisville and become a part of their traditions."

One Holland, which owns and operates eight LaRosa's pizzerias and 12 First Watch cafes serving primarily Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky, has plans for additional locations in the Louisville area over next several years.

"Gary and his team are incredibly passionate about LaRosa's and about Kentucky. They share our focus on family and creating a true, neighborhood feel at each of our pizzerias," Michael LaRosa, CEO of LaRosa's, Inc. and son of founder Buddy LaRosa, said in the release. "We can't wait to meet our neighbors and share LaRosa's famous family recipes with Louisville."

The 3,773-square-foot LaRosa's pizzeria will include dine-in, pick-up and delivery of its family-recipe pizzas and other Italian favorites with a 96-person capacity dining room and a 44-person covered patio. The pizzeria will feature a drive-up pick-up window. LaRosa's will also serve a full menu of beer, wine and mixed drinks.

LaRosa's operates 66 pizzerias in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana.
