Luigi Rocco’s

I stumbled onto Luigi Rocco’s as I was driving the south side of La Crosse with my wife. As I drove up you could see the stack’s of wood on the back of his trailer ready to keep his wood fired self-​made neapolitan pizza oven blazing hot. A fresh margarita and prosciutto was coming out of the oven as I walked up. I bought a slice at $ 3.50 and a Cannoli for another $ 3.50. The pizza was piping hot with a nice thin neapolitan style crust, fresh basil, and large slices of prosciutto. The sauce was robust and slightly chunky and spicy. As I spoke with the owner he talked about his Italian roots and high standards for food including making the pizza using 00 flour from Italy. I’m far from a Cannolli expert but I was less impressed by the one I bought here. The pizza more than made up for it. Luigi Rocco’s also sells Gelato which I didn’t try during this visit. Luigi Rocco’s hopes to become a year round operation but for now can be found tonight ⁷⁄₆ and next weekend near the Big Lots store on La Crosse’s south side. To find out where they are moving forward call them at 608−632−6818 or 608−397−5412. I’ll certainly be back again.
