La Porchetta () is an Australian and New Zealand restaurant franchising which has become one of the biggest Italian cuisine restaurant chains in those countries. There are about 38 outlets now in Australia and New Zealand which are owned by franchisees.
In August 2014, Retail Food Group, which owns franchise chains Crust Pizza, Gloria Jean's coffeehouses, Donut King, Michel's Patisserie and Brumby's Bakeries, announced it would purchase La Porchetta's franchising system for $16.3 million. Three months later, RFG pulled out of the deal.
On 11 February 2024 the La Porchetta located in Carlton closed down. The owners of the place said that "the family was moving on and pursuing new ventures". Some speculate that the reason why was due to the changing demographics in the area.
