Founding and history

La Porchetta was established in 1985 by Rocco Pantaleo and Felice Nania, when they bought a run-down pizza parlour called La Porchetta in Rathdowne Street, Carlton. Their first franchise restaurant opened in the Melbourne suburb of Reservoir, Victoria in 1990. Since 1990, over 80 La Porchettas have opened across Australia,[2] by 2017 around 40 outlets existed.[1]

In August 2014, Retail Food Group, which owns franchise chains Crust, Gloria Jean's, and Brumby's, announced it would purchase La Porchetta's franchising system for $16.3 million. Three months later, RFG pulled out of the deal.[1]

gollark: I do want one for ML purposes, but there are limits to what you can do on *any* reasonable consumer GPU nowadays, and I'd have to replace my server (or at least the PSU?) to run anything over 75W.
gollark: How much you should pay is obviously very dependent on how much you value money and how much you value the GPU.
gollark: I'm not particularly attached to the MSRP, but I wouldn't *personally* buy a 3060 Ti unless it was very cheap because I don't have much use for a GPU right now.
gollark: I think prices have been going down for ??? crypto reasons.
gollark: Not until you purchase the gender box.
