LaRosa's now has a few Dayton locations: Centerville, Beavercreek, Englewood, and Kettering. I believe they are slated to open in Huber Heights as well.

As for the LaRosa's at King's Island, I know of exactly the one you speak. I always remember getting the pizza's from the waterpark side though. Haven't been down there in a while, but why bother when LaRosa's is right here?
LaRosa's, to me, taste like spagetti sauce on crust. Marions is good, the original Cassanno's was excellent and Flying Pizza was good too.

Marion's is the jam.

Although my favorite pizza in dayton is from little york tavern on little york road.

Cousin Vinny's is a close second.

Cool What Dayton means to me...

D=dirty (or dull)
A=awful
Y=yucky (or yawning)
T=terrible
O=old
N=nasty

I moved away 10 years ago to Las Vegas and have never regretted it!
360 days of sunshine compared to 30, 3 days of rain compared to 200.
0 days of boredom compared to 365.
Progressive thinking and open minds compared to old, antiquated, closed minds.
Yup...I made the right choice for me! I will never go back and have no desire.
But that's just me!!!!!!!!!!!

At least our housing market didn't crash, and didn't Las Vegas beat Dayton in most abandoned city by Forbes magazine?

In all seriousness, Dayton can get old after, say 10 years. Mainly because it does get to be the same after a while. But I would think this would be true of most metros, with exceptions like New York City. Also, I could see Dayton being lackluster if you are absent a car.

P.S. I think we have more then 30 days of sunshine. It's sunny right now!

Don't listen to these people, Dayton does suck and always will suck. Deteriorating downtown, nothing to do, nothing to do, and did I mention nothing to do? Having a Dorothy Lane Market and Trader Joes does not make up for the fact that this place is a festering herpes sore on the ass of America that desperately needs Valtrex. And to say the people are nice here..... that is a total lie. Unless you fit in with the yuppies, hillbillies or hood rich, then you pretty much can count on being ostracized. Don’t even think about dating outside your race, because the people here are bona fide racists. Anything new, different or outside the box is higly shunned here. I curse the day I came here and will rejoice the day I am able to leave this **** pit. And FYI wrightflyer, Dayton's housing market did crash, why do you think it is on the Forbes list of most empty places? To put Dayton up as a better city than Vegas is insane.

Red Hatorade, I get the feeling that regardless of the city you live, you will always be miserable

I didn't say Las Vegas is better than Dayton, I'm just stating a fact that Las Vegas was considered more abandoned by Forbes.

Vegas Beats Detroit For 'Most Abandoned City' - Las Vegas News Story - KVVU Las Vegas

IMO, Dayton's market suffers from foreclosures, not because prices appriciated 200% and then fell out. Suburbs like Beavercreek are doing ok compared to markets elsewhere, such as Fort Myers/Cape Coral, FL. Also, once again, I will say no to painting an area with such a broad brush. I grew up in an extremely excepting home in an (well almost, but which neighborhood doesn't have its troublemaker) extremely excepting neighborhood. It was a diverse street (for a suburb at least), with Caucasians, African-Americans, Indians, Chinese, etc living next door to each other. I will admit though, as a college student, it can be boring, but that doesn't mean other people won't like it for other reasons, i.e. raising a family with decent housing costs, good schools, and a higher QUL than in other "better" parts of the country. (End of rant)

So leave. I doubt you'll be missed.
