John Psalmonds background is certainly not in the restaurant business but has proven to be his calling. He’s always wanted to open a restaurant and in March of 2014, opened Rotolo’s Pizzeria on 70th St. Six (sixteen) months after it’s opening, made the decision to leave his long term career as Regional Vice President for Hartford Insurance and started working on opening a Bossier location. With rapid growth continuing, his N. Market location will be opening soon and he’s already searching for a location for a forth!
Rotolo’s is your neighborhood bar and pizzeria. They make all their food from scratch daily and put out anywhere from 1500-3000 pizzas per week which is about 40% of their sales. Of course you can’t have pizza without beer which takes about 40 Kegs per week to keep it flowing. They have a large variety of food, sure to please the most finicky of eaters to others wanting to try a non-traditional pizza like the Angry-Pig, Popeye or Sgt. Pepper just to name a few. Rotolo’s continues to push the envelope with pastas, salads, appetizers, calzones, flatbreads, wraps and sandwiches. They have it all!
They now have grown to about 100 employees and have a banquet room that will hold 75 for meetings and special events. They’ve also partnered up with Go Waiter which delivers anywhere in our area. When you’ve got a hankering for some fresh pizzeria food, there’s only one place to go…ROTOLO’S PIZZERIA!
