July 5, 2011 Our Eat Lafayette Adventures continued at Rochetto's in Scott, and, boy, am I glad we went! Each Rochetto's pizza comes with your choice of hand-tossed or cracker crust and you can choose fresh tomato sauce, olive oil, garlic ricotta, alfredo sauce, bar-b-que sauce or ranch dressing, but they have way more than pizza! Take a look at our vist with Brady and his great staff, then head to Rochetto's on the I-10 Frontage Rd. down from Cajun Harley, and don't forget to register for the cruise at every Eat Lafayette restaurant!
