History of the Coccia House Restaurant

Coccia House Restaurant, located in Wooster, Ohio, is a pizza parlor and a local favorite for visitors both young and old. This pizzeria, which has been in business since 1958, has a rich history and a place of significance within the Wooster community.

Beginnings

The Coccia family first opened the restaurant, which still operates out of its original location on Pittsburgh avenue, in 1958. The eatery, which operates out of an old home in the downtown area of Wooster was designed to offer traditional Italian food, at a reasonable price, in a homey and comfortable atmosphere.

A family tradition

Three generations of the family have now owned and operated the business which passes its rich traditions, secret recipes, and financial assets from generation to generation. The business still maintains an "at home" atmosphere that made it such a success from its beginnings.

The secret recipe

This pizzeria is known for its memorable pizza crust and its very secret recipe. The crust of each pizza is thick and solid and more like a pie crust, in density and texture, than a chain-store pizza crust. It gives each pizza a flavor and a texture that is unique to the Coccia house and one that is found no where else on earth.

For locals and tourists alike, the Coccia House restaurant is a piece of local history and an eatery worth visiting. The owners work to keep tradition high and prices down, and they want to ensure that every customer leaves happy and well fed.
