Rotolo’s Craft & Crust will bring at least two new locations to the area. Franchisees Blaire and Samuel “Taylor” Bobo will open outposts in Collierville and Southaven, according to the Memphis Business Journal.
The Bobos are behind the East Memphis outpost of the pizzeria, at 681 S. White Station Road in the White Oak Shopping Center, which opened in 2022, and own locations in Ruston and Alexandria, Louisiana.
Rotolo’s Craft & Crust Collierville will open in the Schilling Farms development adjacent the incoming SOB Collierville, at 1329 and 1337 West Poplar Avenue.
Plans for a Southaven location are still underway, according to the Memphis Business Journal, which writes a location is “not set in stone yet” but if the “Southaven deal does come to pass, it will be a ground-up build in Silo Square.”
In 1996, Mitch Rotolo opened the first Rotolo’s Pizzeria in Baton Rouge, La., just a pizza throw away from LSU. Over 20 years later, the casual Italian restaurant now has over 30 franchises throughout Louisiana, Texas, Alabama and Florida, with many more in the works.
