La Porchetta in Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, Australia | Pizza

Welcome to La Porchetta, Pizza, Surfers Paradise, Australia. Back in 1985, Rocco Pantaleo and Felice Nania bought a run-down Pizza parlour called La Porchetta, located in the heart of Melbourne's Italian restaurant district, Rathdowne Street, Carlton.

Together, they introduced the European notion of providing good quality food at value-for-money prices. This formula proved a big hit with customers and soon transformed La Porchetta into a thriving restaurant.

Using their hands-on business experience, Rocco and Felice developed and refined the La Porchetta franchise concept. Their first franchise restaurant opened in Reservoir, Victoria in 1990, paving the way for just under 100 La Porchetta franchises now operating across Australia, including in Surfers Paradise.

The company continues to expand and innovate with the launch of their exciting new La Porchetta Express concept. Offering a selected range of take-away La Porchetta menu items, and operating from within retail outlets such as convenience stores and shopping centres, La Porchetta Express offers prospective franchisees even greater choice and flexibility. The first La Porchetta Express opened in Melbourne, Victoria in 2000.
