Well I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the other reviews on here. Our waitress was HORRIBLE. After waiting for 40 mins for our food, we asked how much longer we should expect to wait. Her response was shockingly enough, "I didn't know you wanted fast food." Well needless to say that put a huge damper on our meal. After she finally brought the food she never checked up on us again. No refills, nothing about our sides. Nothing. The topper came when we were leaving and as she remembered about her tip she wished us a good night. Because we didn't have the same enthusiasm she remarked to "get over it" and "yikes." This place would have one star if it wasn't for the food. But given the need to wait 30 mins to get a table, an hour for food AND the rude service I don't see myself going back unless its for take-out.

I have family that live in Tuscan and I went in and ordered a deep dish pizza yesterday and it was very delicious!! Great staff, great food! Thank you Rocco!!

David F.

I love this place so much! To me, their Chicago-style pizza is second to none. Period. Even the thin style is pretty good. Oh, and the wings are redonk. It's a little pricey for me, but it's so worth it. Oh yeah, the cookies are great too. Plus they have Old Style in a can. Love it.

Lyle R.

Got wings first, AMAZING, hot sticks next, pretty damn good. Got our pizza last, AMAZING. Wish I lived here so I could eat all the time.

Dora M.

Really really like the wings and the salad I had there wasnt bad either! the thing that really got me though was THE COOKIES! you must try the galletas, they are fantastic! The servers weren't very friendly but the take out is always good! The bathrooms are kinda run down and super tagged! again, we were here for the food and they passed the test!

White R.

The sandwiches and prices are pretty good. Even the fries were delicious, which was something is hard to find sometimes. The atmosphere is sports bar-like, and they have a good selection of food to soak up the beer.

Pierna M.

Small old building! Hole in the wall and the best deep dish pizza west of the Mississippi. The wings were great as well. Looking for that good ol Chicago style pizza? Nothing like this place

FAST Review 4 out of 5 * Food 4/5 Deep dish pizzas are super cheesy. If you are lactose intolerant I probably wouldn't recommend getting a pizza, since you might die. The pizza sauce is like a delicious homemade marinara that would feel just as home on a bed of angel hair pasta. The wings are good as well, though if you are planning on getting a pizza AND wings, be prepared for take home. Be sure to get an Old Style, because apparently that's just how you are supposed to do it (according to the friends we were with). Ambiance 3/5 Smells like garlic and cheese and beer, mixed with wing sauce. A little dive-y. Parking is in the back. Service 4/5 Service for the most part was good. Forgot about us for a little bit, but in the end managed to get our order right and allowed us to split the check. Total Impression 4/5 Food was good, just heavy. Don't come to this place if you plan on doing anything other than digesting afterward. Or at least be sure you drink enough beer afterward to absorb all the food. I heard good things about the cookies, but unfortunately they were out when we went.

Mercedes D.

THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE. The waiter was very rude and did not welcome us to the restaurant. We were visiting from Tempe, AZ and will not ever return!

Roald M.

I'm from Chicagoland, and while the deep dish anywhere but home has yet to evoke that satisfying, sauce-on-top, thick slab of sausage in the middle flavor for me, Rocco's serves Land of Lincoln style grub tastily and snappy. The interior feels like a family joint somewhere on the Northeast burbs of Chicago; a bit harried and rundown, but lovingly so. The antipasto and salads were ample and honest. Hot wings were a high point - I detected Asian sweet chili sauce in the mix. The pizza itself was very decent - the lunch special of a deep dish slice + wings is definitely enough to put you into a comfortable haze the rest of your work day.

Becky D.

I so wanted to love my calzone because I swear I had a great one here about a year ago, but it was pretty sub-par. Several bites had nothing but crust which was kind of tasteless. At least the marquee out front is always entertaining.

Lara W.

Order the pizza!! I made the mistake of ordering a salad, on one of the hottest days of the year in Tucson, and it was all wilty and blah. But the pizza was AMAZING. The crust, the sauce, the cheese....just perfect! The garlic twist bread was also mouth-watering. Highly recommended for the PIZZA!!

Bruce B.

Went to Rocco's yesterday for take out. I got a large pie, thin crust, sausage, mushroom and green pepper. The pizza was ready when I got there and it was excellent. I also picked up a large anti-pasta salad. Everything tasted great! I will go there again and will try a deep dish. I liked this place a lot.

Rocco's offers a solid pie and wry sense of humor at their location on Broadway/Tucson Blvd. Their playful quotes on their front sign are amusing, and outside the restaurant you can catch a glimpse of their pizza making skills through a large window into their kitchen. They have a winning talent at Chicago-style pizzas that could be theirs to own in Tucson, however after tasting their deep dish several times I am now less inclined to shell out the $25 for a pie. I hail from Chicago, and over a year ago I thought Rocco's pizza tasted extremely close to some of the best Chicago has to offer at Lou Malnati's, Pequods, or Giordano's. They had nailed the crust, found the right consistency of sauce, and captured that warm tender cheesy tang of a hot deep dish on a blustery Chicago evening. Sadly that consistency in quality has gradually disappeared, and it appears they're content to being only a casual mid-town pizza place. I still find their deep dish to be the closest authentic Chicago-style in Tucson (and Yelpers please feel free to offer your opinions on this). The restaurant itself is a terrific place to take a date on a Friday night, or bring your family as they have a charming well-lit patio area. But I'm hoping this review, if noticed, can spur the owners to reconsider how to make their pizza consistently amazing and I'll be happily waiting wearing my Bears shirt and Cubs hat at the table.

What helps this Chicago transplant get over the lack of snow in the Southwest and missing Lake Shore Drive? I will say that Rocco's helps ease the homesickness more than a little. Deep dish pies, some crappy Chicago beer, and a few sentimental posters make it feel a little more like the Windy City. I'll admit that my picture of Chicago is a little tainted, I left pretty young and I'll always have an overly rosy picture of the place, but Rocco's does a pretty good job of recreating the pizza I remember. Also, can I just comment that I love their billboard phrases? They are adorably funny on top of being delicious. I hate that the prices are as high as they are (I'm broke as a joke), but the lunch specials are a little easier on the wallet while still filling your belly with all the carbs you could possibly desire in one sitting.

NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM ! I had been craving Chicago style Pizza ever since the Summer began, for the grase filled Brooklyn style they only seem to sell in LA was on my last nerve. My grandmother informed me that there was a Chicago-style pizza place in town, I said well let's check it out. . . O_____O !!! Greeted as soon as we walked in , waiter attended to us quickly & promptly even though it was pretty busy (it's a true hole in the wall people, so I give mad respect for that) , she even was kind enough to put our leftovers in the box while she gave us a brief history on Rocco. I'd come in here every other day of the week if I wasn't on a diet. Damn.

Kyleen S.

Great Chicago-style pizza, for sure! But they make killer wings and the salads are awesome too. Try the cheesy bread and you won't be disappointed. This is not the place you'll want to visit if you're trying to count carbs or watch your calorie intake, but who cares?! It's delicious! I've wanted to do a Wednesday night (who can pass up wing night) but it's always totally packed. For good reason, but still. Service is okay, not great, and parking can be a challenge when it's busy. The inside is small, but they have a nice patio that we love.

Michelle C.

Popped in for about 30 min to hang with my sis and her friends - and they had ordered quite the variety - hot wings (which I was told were "medium" and they packed quite the punch- not too spicy & GREAT flavor) a calzone with rocottta chee, spinach and artichokes (my sis gets heartburn just saying the word heartburn - so she kept it mellow) and they also ordered thin crust pizza - topped with bacon, sausage and pep. THAT was freaking delicious. I ordered a caprese salad - and I must say it was divine. At $5 I'll definitely be back for that. The calzone wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked - but dipping it in the hotwing sauce was a bomb idea. :) All in all, Rocco's is quickly becoming one of my local favorites. Great food, decent prices, small quiet establishment (except for the little 3 yr old asian kid that launched a crayon at us - - - btw - this really isnt a kid hangout people.. it's too small of a space for me to deal with your kids noise and/or crayons!) 5 enthusiastic thum---errr - stars up!

Varun P.

Spicy hot sticks. Wings. That's all you need to try to love the food at this place. It's awesome, the hot wings are probably my favorite in Tucson. You can get bleu cheese if you want, but honestly just power through the hot wings. Don't compromise that delicious taste and burn. Can't really make remarks on the service - I've only eaten in 2-3 times that I can remember.

Military please read: For as long as I have been in the military, my shop has gone to this restaurant (5 years) during work. Unfortunately we can only send one person on a food run and for security reasons, we can't give our IDs to the runner but we can give our credit cards to them. In one instance, our shop ordered about $200 worth of food for dinner but for some reason the staff changed it's exception to the ID with credit card for us. I'm pretty sure we contributed a huge chunk to their weekly profit since we did ordered almost twice a week summing to $200 each time. Anyway, they decided to either waste the food that was ordered and ready that day because of a one time mistake or they served it "fresh" to other customers. We can't just up and go when we please, the least they could do is trust those who protect them. Not trying to pull the military card here but, Rocco's isn't too military friendly. To the owner of this place, you just lost a huge 5 year long weekly profit contribution to your establishment. I get that you guys have rules & policies, but don't act like you've ALWAYS kept up with the policy. Hope you're happy with your strict staff.

Derek O.

Great pizza and wings. The deep dish was not greasy in the slightest. Wings were fried and tossed in a delicious sauce. Highly recommended. One wish, could use a little more Chicago memorabilia on the walls

James N.

I've been to Rocco's a couple of times and found the food to be decent but not fantastic. The wings and pasta were good and the deep dish pizza was OK. I really don't understand all of the reviews that claim this is the best pizza in town. While it is a completely different style, Grimaldi's is 100 times better. And the deep dish pizza doesn't even come close to the best in Chicago. I would give Rocco's three stars for the food. The real reason for the poor rating is the service, which is obviously a trend noticing some of the reviews. The last time I was at Rocco's the service was horrendous. I ordered a pasta dish and my friend ordered a sandwich. The place was pretty packed when we came in, so it was understandable if the kitchen was falling a bit behind in the orders. Unfortunately though, we waited for almost an hour after placing our order before walking out when we still had not gotten our food. Over the course of that hour the restaurant had thinned down to only a couple of occupied tables, some of which were seated after us and who had received their food, including pizzas which should have taken longer than pasta and a sandwich. While my friend and I were obviously annoyed, the server was oblivious to this fact and never bothered to apologize or even say she would go to check on where our food was at. Instead she chose to sit and socialize with her friends that came in after us and mysteriously got their food before us. So after 45 minutes of waiting we approached our server about how slow it was taking. Again instead of being polite and courteous to paying guests, she rudely told us that this was a "slow" food restaurant and that we were being unreasonable. I actually couldn't believe it when this server even told is flat out that if we didn't like it we should leave! In my opinion, this incompetent server forgot to put our order in and instead of admitting that she had made a mistake she chose to belittle us. Now I'm a pretty patient person and convinced my friend to stick it out a few more minutes as our food should be coming any minute. Well after 15 more minutes we decided to walk, and again instead of apologies all we got was rude comments from the two servers working. All I can say is that I will NEVER visit this establishment again

Craig H.

The wings here are insanely amazing and sooo very not commercial (thats a good thing) the pizza is off the chain and if your ever in Tucson you owe it to yourself to eat here

Eduardo C.

The employees here are usually crabby, especially on Wednesdays with the wing special, maybe because it gets so packed. That being said, the wings are well worth the money, good bang for your buck.

lindsey h.

they have different olives on the house salad now, which didn't taste half as good as the ones i remembered from before. the wait for our two appetizers seemed excessive. in spite of our server checking up on us once, there was no offer of refilling drinks (which were all half full or less at that point) until i asked specifically. i left a generous tip but in retrospect would have knocked it back a couple bucks considering the drinks issue. great pizza as always though.

Jeffrey E.

Favorite Pizza Place in the World. They do thin crust right and you always have to order a side of hot sticks too! Love this place!!

Imran G.

One of the places that you REALLY must visit in Tucson. I'll start with the good first, since the good is really what makes this place shine and saves this place from getting a 3 or 4. The food is simply amazing. I dare you to find a place that has better wings than this place. There is just no way to explain how AMAZING the wings are. I mean, wow. I went to this place almost 2-3 times a month for 2 years once I found out about it. Unfortunately, I moved from Tucson, but I still fantasize about this place. The deep dish pizza is good, I'm not a huge fan and neither is my GF, but my mom LOVES it. She made me take her just for the pizza every time she came to Tucson. The thin crust pizza was amazing, I didn't think it would be and not many people try it, but damn, its GOOD. The salad is amazing as well, its simple, but amazing, some sun dried tomatoes, onions, olives, and green salad with that delectable ranch just makes me happy. Hot sticks or BBQ sticks or cheesy garlic sticks make an awesome addition. The wings. I already mentioned the wings, but I think it deserves it own section. Hot, is WAY hot, maybe 'hotter than your sister'. Unless you start coming here more often, you'll need to stick to medium for a bit. The BBQ is also very unique. Most wing places just use regular ass BBQ sauce and it stiffens up your wings, but the BBQ at rocco's is very saucy, and stays moist and keeps your wings warm. The medium and hot wings are a tad bit on the oily side, but man, are they amazing. I've gone to Native New Yorker (a bunch in Phoenix, and now one in Tucson), and none of those offer anything like Rocco's. I will spend my life trying to find hot wings like Rocco's. THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. If they are there, consider yourself lucky, they go fast. Great way to calm the nerves after some firey wings. The service is bleh. The first few times we went there, we felt not welcomed. The service doesn't do the amazing food justice. One of the servers is not very friendly (male, black hair, looks completely lost all the time). I think its just the way he is, recently he's been cool. The other guys there are pretty funny and cool, and one of the girls is a pretty cool server. Rocco is just a baller. He's created wing heaven here, and while other places focus on variety, he focuses on quality. Tip - Wednesdays is wing night with $0.25 wings, but please, don't just get 50 dozen wings, and leave 47 dozens behind. The wings are amazing, but try a salad with the hot sticks too. Also, apparently if you order other stuff you get your food faster. Go early if you don't want to wait early, like around 4:45 pm. Or go after 8 pm. Anytime in between, and you're looking for a 45-60 minute wait. This is a small place, but its a hidden gem. Try it out on a Wednesday night if you're not sure about it. The pricing is great, I'd easily pay $0.50/wing for these awesome wings. Its a pretty clean place, and the outside seating is kinda nice. If you frequent this place, the staff will be friendly. The only reason I miss this city is this restaurant.

Michael F.

Get the "Kitchen Sink" deep dish, chicago-style. It will seriously kill you dead, it's so good. It takes a while to come to your table... plenty of time to write your will. Only one or two slices will do. You can use the others for doorstops. Make sure to try the wings, some of the best in town. They used to have a special where if you ordered a large pizza, you get free wings. The marquees are becoming a Tucson icon I think. Always obscure and sometimes witty... even some Zappa lyrics sometimes. Can't beat that.

Marty S.

This is the second time I've ordered carry-out pizza and it has been delicious both times. Not quite up to Oregeno's standards, but damn good. I had the Kitchen Sink, think crust, and it is a hefty pizza--lots of ingredients. MMMMmmm... The black eye keeping Rocco's from getting 5 stars is tonight I went to pick up my pizza and after paying and tipping, was told my pizza had been mistakenly given to another customer and that customer had already left. I had to wait another 25 minutes to get a replacement. Apologies were given and accepted, but a coupon for a percentage off my next order would have been nice (and kept me coming back). I doubt if I will return to Rocco's because of this oversight. In today's age of kissing the customer's ass it seems like more would have been offered other than a "sorry".

Gabriel R.

Amazing wings :) always looking for somewhere I can eat good pizza and good wings. Good atmosphere would highly recommend

Feeney V.

Best pie in AZ

Peg P.

Rocco had me at the first bite. Came here for the first time today and enjoyed the deep dish pizza slice and it blew me away with the flavor (wasn't REAL hot through and through but maybe next time it will be). Very cozy and intimate place...people constantly coming through the door on this "cold" desert day...obviously very popular with lots of regulars. 2 huge slices, 1 hot drink, a wonderful peanut butter cookie for dessert and all for around $10. Can't beat that. We shall return!! And often.

Emily D.

Rocco's "Award Wining Wings" made me hate myself...... ****Though I cannot say anything bad about their pizza! This review is on WINGS ONLY**** I have been searching Tucson for the best wings, and I have been very disappointed. Sure theres Wing Stop, but you can taste the standardized, corporate, blatantly NOT house-made sauce. Wings and Rice... idk its creepy, its just a weird place. I was expecting Rocco's to have great wings, when I was younger I liked them, but once I grew up and became a self-called Wing Connoisseur, I was highly grossed out by Rocco's low quality wings. 1) Greasy, greasy, greasy sauce. Wings dont need to be greasy at all.... So thats gross 2) Small, meatless wings, give me my moneys worth please! 3) Overcooked, dry, and super crunchy. You see, I need to eat wings at least once a week in order to stay alive. This is something my boyfriend hates, he thinks my "wing obsession" is gross, and says when I eat wings I become repulsive. Its true, but DONT CARE. Wings triumph boyfriend The best wings Ive ever had were in Boulder CO, they were Hugee, with thick spicy sauce made to order. Tucson's wings suck. Once I ate Rocco's wings, I began hating myself. The previously beautiful "fall" Tucson afternoon, became yellow, dead, and full of images of Grant and Alvernon. Good wings... I guess its too much to ask for.

Ingrid T.

YUM!!!! I finally went to Rocco's and yes we got a stuffed pizza, jalapeno poppers, and garlic bread. I called ahead after reading the reviews and their menu on their website. So Friday night I called right around 6pm and said we would be there at 7:15pm to pick it up. I ordered a Large Big Bad Wolf stuffed pizza minus the sausage, and the rest you know! My son and I drove down to Rocco's to go pick up our food. We got there at 7:10pm and just like they promised at 7:15pm it was ready! Super pleased about that. The lady was sweet at the register and super nice. We took our food and heading home. When I got home I opened up this pizza box of pure awesomeness-yes awesomeness. The sauce was amazing, the cheese delicious, and the fillings oh my were they good. I was seriously in heaven this has been the best Chicago style pizza we have had in the heart of the Southwest! It was so delicious that after one slice I was full. We still have half a pizza and it was amazing! The garlic bread so garlicky and fingerlicking good. The jalapeno poppers were only okay but that pizza oh my so good! I can't wait to go there and sit in there and eat because I just know that this place deserves 5 stars but for Friday's experience it was a 4 star night! Rocco's we will be back! Yum yum yum for Chicago style pizza in Tucson!

T A.

Pretty good pizza. Too much mozzarella cheese. Crust was perfect. Not enough seating ...people were leaving because of lack of seating. Atmosphere was crappy. Most of the Patio lights were burnt out. This place won a gold award and shouldn't have....sorry. just not that great. I wont be back.

Molly H.

Wings get four stars, for sure. If you need a dirty, dirty weekend treat but you're low carbing, you pretty much have one choice: wings. Luckily, Rocco's fits the bill. I highly recommend the BBQ/Hot combo sauce. As far as Wednesday Wing Night, make sure you get there by 8:30, because the deal stops at 9:00. Bummer. Otherwise, I recommend take out. The staff can be quite surly.

Mike T.

"12 hot wings extra crispy!" Say those 5 words and you'll never have to look for another wing joint in your life. BEST WINGS EVER! We've been going to Rocco's for at least five years now. My seven year old son's body make up has to be at least 1/3 Rocco's chicken wings. Their thin crust pizza is very good as well. As a matter of fact, I've been so happy with just eating wings and pizza at this place, that I've never had the need to try anything else. Top it off with a ice cold can of Old Style beer and you'll be in heaven. Ok, so I'm mistaken, you need to top it off with one of their king sized peanut butter cookies. It's a perfect meal. The staff at Rocco's is also great! For five years, we've had the same server help us. He has our order memorized, and it's not an easy one. Let me tell ya, those wings come out extra crispy every time. The only down side to Rocco's is the size of the joint. It is very small, and with a group of 6, we almost always have to sit outside, whether it's freezing cold or hotter than hell. Being that their food is so good, there is always a line. We don't even try to make Wednesday Wing Night, because the wait is always at least an hour. I know... I'm a selfish customer! I don't want to wait when it comes to taking care of my wing fix!

Clarence B.

Rocco's for me has has a history of greatness for vegan pizzas, but last night we decided to try the "stuffed" veggie (no cheese) and after waiting 20 minutes longer than they told us.. i got the pie, took it home and found what i thought was a layer of cheese on top... nope uncooked dough... and lots of it. really fuggin gross. at this point i was so goddamned hungry that i punched a wall. drove back to Rocco's only to have them tell me that "that is how it is made. It is a thin layer."!!!! dude, if people at Rocco's and in Chicago eat a 1/2 thick layer of RAW pizza dough then THEY TRIPPIN. sick ass shit that would have made us sick too. i will say that they were cool enough to offer us something else. but at that point i just took store credit and got a burrito on the way home. moral of the story: don't get the "famous stuffed pizza" cuz it must be famous for sickness... everything else: awesome. update: really though, the "deep dish" veggie vegan style is maybe the best vegan pizza i've ever eaten. it is LOADED with mushrooms and spinach and always tastes great with a little siracha.

Bleep S.

The best wings in town...medium hot is my preference. Yum deep dish veggie. Lisa's cookies are wonderful.

Andy G.

Love this place. Sadly, they did not deliver to my house, so I had to drive and pick it up, but that gave me a chance to have a few pieces on the drive home. Their thin crust is probably the best you can get in Tucson. Never actually ate there, just took it home, and was always an excellent meal.

Joe F.

Great pizza one of the best places to visit while visiting Tucson

Nate X.

I'm from Chicago, so it's rather ironic that the best stuffed pizza I've ever had is in Tucson. Rocco's simply does not mess around with their stuffed pizza. It has the most cheese of any pizza I've ever had without ordering extra cheese. The crust is also excellent, as they ensure that the cheese goes all the way back into the crust. However, the thing that really makes it the best is the tangy sauce, which has a bit of a bite to it. (Bland sauce is my problem with Giordano's in Chicago, the place a lot of people there claim has the best stuffed pizza.) The wings are also excellent, though I only had them a couple of times because I wanted to save room for pizza. They are relatively small with a tasty sauce, and they are fried very crisp. A lot of places have wings which are too meaty, which destroys the ratio of sauce and skin to meat. Too much meat and the wing is too bland. So to sum up, this is the best pizza that this Chicago pizza snob has ever had.

Scott T.

Great wings. So-so pizza. LOUSY SERVICE! If she's having a bad day, send her home. If she doesn't like her job, replace her with someone who will represent you well. Otherwise you are just chasing away your customers.

Tyson G.

If you're looking for an actual Chicago style deep dish pizza pie then this is the place. I didn't say a thick crusted pizza that was made in a deep pan (although they make those too), I'm talking about a thin crust in a deep pan filled with ingredients (a pizza pie). The pizza is flippin awesome. The service is a little lacking though but not enough for me to take any stars away. The waiter did not want to list the beers that they have and was not going to provide a list either. There are two small chalk boards with the beers listed on them if you're interested. If you're seated outside then you will have to go inside to read them. This is also kind of unfortunate because they have a decent selection of craft brews. Anyway, go for the food and just know what you want. Questions may just slow things down.

Stephanie W.

I would have to say its not the best deep dish around, but it is pretty good. I'd like to go again to sample their other pizzas. This was my husband and I's first time going. I'm pretty much going to comment on what most of these other reviews say. Waiting time is a little slow, but its worth the wait. Service is okay, could be alittle better..it is a small place after all. All in all, I'd like to go again to get some good pizza and some good fried zucchini.

Katie G.

Best lunch deal in town.. slice of pizza and salad for $5.00 you can't beat it. Big, delicious portions! I recommend the big bad wolf or the pesto pie.... also the wings are amazing!

Jenny M.

ADORE the deep dish pizza. Order a large and you'll eat for a week. It's traditional Chicago deep dish...crust cheese then sauce but that means it never gets soggy! They are super generous with toppings. The fried mushrooms are fab and the wings aren't too shabby. BTW if you refrigerate the leftovers the cheese goes so far back into the crust its like a stuffed-crust experience

Angela V.

Pizza is pretty good but my favorite is half price wing nights...SO GOOD!! And I'm not a big wing person, but man, sometimes I'll be sitting at home thinking "I could really go for some wings & beer at Roccos."

David G.

Best hot wings in the area, a great selection of micro-brew beers, and the best pizza I've had in Arizona. I'll definitely be back, after I heal from too much of their a$$-burning wing sauce.

Koneko K.

The deep dish pizzas here are excellent!!! We usually get the Kitchen Sink version of it. Just don't go here starving, or order some appetizers first, cause the pizza will take awhile to cook. One of the top must visits of Tucson.

Heather M.

If you're going to get the hot buffalo wings, be prepared to no longer have a tongue when you leave.

Destroyer Z.

Slow service when busy. Still, the food is awesome. I recommend the chicken sandwich for lunch. If you want it spicy, ask for the chicken to be tossed in hot wing sauce. The lunch specials are awesome- 1/2 sandwich and a side salad are in the area of $5. The house salads have this amazing mix of olives and sun dried tomatoes on the top- not a lot, just enough to add good flavor. Everyone has already raved about the pizza, so I won't, but it's a great place to go with a vegan friend- they'll have good, tasty options. If you work in the area, they deliver to businesses during lunchtime, but it can be up to an hour for the food to get to you if they're busy.

Leo B.

I don't know Brooke. I recently had a horrible experience with Rocco's. I went there years ago with a friend and I recalled having a good time and a really good Chicago style pizza. Not Zachary's but very good. Anyway fast forward to the present and my whole family went there to dine on a Saturday night. We sat right near the kitchen, ordered and waited and waited and waited.... People after us were served. Over an hour later they tell us the oven broke down and they are redoing our pizza. We waited and waited... I walk my youngest to the Ethiopian Restaurant down the street about 20 times. I get back and there was still no pizza. My oldest is fast asleep and everyone is still trying to get their taste buds working after eating the gawd awful hot bread sticks. Well over 2 hours pass and they finally bring out the pizza. They gave us some coupons for when we come back (fat chance) and did nto take off anything else. We asked for the pizza to go as all 3 of my children were asleep and of course I put the box on top of the van to lock up the girls and forgot to take it off and I drove off leaving the pizza behind.

Surranna V.

I can't say the food was bad i just feel it is a tad over rated. Anything near campus I don't trust. I just feel like its a bunch of drunk young'ins that don't know food that well. It may be the best thing in walking distance but I want the bigger picture. Rocco's may me traditional but i can say I thought Oregano's stuffed was better, and a close second is frog and firkkin's stuffed. I love the flavor of the sauce I can give'em that. The cheese was very chewy, almost like it was part rubber which tells me the ingredients aren't top quality. I went there because someone told me the wings were better than Oregano's. The hot and crispy wings were damn good but that ain't got nothin' on Oregano's hot wings. I might go back, after I try Zachery's. Update: Went back with a friend and ordered a sandwich that rocked my world. I also tried Zachery's so I will never go to Rocco's for deep dish but I will eat the crap out of the sandwiches.

Excellent Chicago-style pizza. Nice balance of flavors and great fresh mozzarella cheese all cradled in a beautiful and tasty deep dish crust. The salad is excellent as well. Just judging by the food I saw at other tables, I suspect anything you order at Rocco's will be most delicious. They really seem to care about the quality.

Delicious deep dish Chicago-styled pizza. The only downside is that there isn't a lot of room to sit. But the food and service is good.

Eva S.

this place once made me very ill but pretty good going down if you like deep dish and live in tucson, may be your best bet wait, no, go to zach's!!!

Great deep dish pizza. 25 cent wing nights. One dollar Dad's Old Style beers. It's a lock - my favorite place for Chicago-style pizza in Tucson.

Every once in a while my husband and I do not want to cook but want to be at home. When those moments arise Rocco's is always our answer. The deep dish pizza is delightful! Filled with toppings of your choice with a crispy dough and just the right balance of seasonings. While it is filling it is not heavy or greasy. Since it is deep dish it is not a quick in and out but the food is worth the wait. My love of Rocco's was set in stone after a recent bad experience. I know that sounds funny, but I always judge a restaurant on how they handle the "oops" moment. I ordered take out on their 25 cent wing night (which I hear is delightful). The place was packed and due to the volume of clients, food was taking a little longer than expected. When I finally got our pizza and got home, we realized it was the wrong pizza! I did not want to go back and wait for the correction but my husband called over to explain the situation. Rocco himself took the call, expressed his apologies and mailed us a gift card. I was impressed by the customer service and the quick remedy. Not only is it a great local restaurant, the food is filling and yummy, and they owner is a great guy. All in all, Rocco's is top notch!

We were wondering where to go for lunch and Rocco's was the choice. And what a great choice. We both choose a lunch special, the Frank & Jack. It was 6 wings and a slice of deep dish for 7.49. We also ordered some breadsticks. They're pizza dough with cheese , spices and sauce on the side. Basically de constructed pizza. The wings had nice crisp and swimming in their flavorful medium sauce. And a nice bowl of ranch. We got the sticks and wings together. There was quickly a pile of bones on the plate! With the flavorful breadsticks it was a meal in itself. The pizza arrives. I ordered pancetta and portobello. It covered the plate and tasty! I was unable to finish the plate of happiness. The order was flavorful and filling! And the price was decent for the amount of food! Rocco's your legend continues.

I guess that I'm in the minority here, but I think that this place is way sub-par. Definitley popular with the college students, though what does that tell you? Most students are happy with a micowaved frozen burrito from 7-11 at 2 AM, am I wrong? Anyway I tried this place a couple times, would have gone more often based on the better reviews but it's always packed at either lunch or dinner time, (Go figure). Though the 2 times that I was there I wasn't impressed with the service, (Spaced out college drop-outs) and the food was disapointing. I tried the chicken wings that were really greasy and were not done in the traditional Buffalo way, they came with some weird sauce, and that's all they had, but I must repeat - greasy! The second time we ordered a Chicago deep dish pizza. It took forever to arrive despite not being busy that afternoon. It was WAY too salty, too doughy and just not authentic at all, you know? Once agein this is Tucson, so just about anything passes for the "Real Thing", you know?

Mike P.

They have $2 Old Style, nectar of the Midwest, here in the Southwest. If that isn't enough, they also have pretty rad pizza, and a number of clearly marked vegan options. There is a pizza called the Angry Samoan, which is probably all you need to know.

Lisannette R.

Rocco's how do I love thee, let me count the ways. I love that: 1. Your thin crust is so thin and delicious. 2. Your cheese is high quality and not very greasy. It stretches against my lips and threatens to burn. 3. Your toppings are fresh and you always make sure I have enough. 4. When the delivery person forgets my blue cheese, they always come back with an extra huge tub without needing to call. 5. You deliver right on time and it's always hot (see #2)! 6. Your deep dish pizza is so epic! I want to roll in it! 7. Your wings are always covered in delicious sauce and never over cooked. In short, Rocco's, I should order you all the time! Smooches! Love, Lisa!

Amanda M.

Hands down the best wings in Tucson. And even though they recently raised the wing night price to $0.35 per wing, we are still devoted fans. Something I always like to warn people about with Rocco's is that wing night is crowded. CROWDED. It's not uncommon to wait up to an hour and a half for a table. But it's worth it. Sooooo worth it. The wings are crunchy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. Their sauce variety is great. And if you're craving some carbs with your chicken, get the hot sticks. You'll be blown away.

Carrie B.

We love the salads to start and the bread sticks, too! Salads come fresh with sun dried tomatoes, olives & parm topping-great vinaigrette! The dipping sauce is a milder blue cheese. My kids ate about 10 pieces of this pizza the first time they tried it. Call in early on Fridays cause the place gets hoppin'!!!!

Zach F.

I always hear people arguing over whether Rocco's has better pizza or wings. Being that it's a pizza place, I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing. What I do know is that their wings are fuckin' delicious. Like....really really good. Seriously. For example, I order them to go and then block someone out of their car because I've parked too close whilst stuffing my face with wing meat and sniffling. Is this rude? Yeah. I blame the wings though. I should mention these wings are unorthodox, definitely not your traditional buffalo wings-- seeing as there's not one single place in Tucson with good, traditional buffalo wings, these have become the norm. I've been going here regularly for over a year, and I have yet to order the pizza--not because the pizza is bad, but because the wings are just that good. Note*: On Wednesday wings are just 25 cents. It begins at 5:00PM, and runs until 9:00PM. Tip*: To avoid long wait times I recommend you get there before 5:30PM or after 8:30PM.

We went on a Thursday evening and it was crowded and took 15 minutes for seating. Then they took another 15 minutes to take our order. We ordered Caprese salad and a stuffed pizza. It took 40 minutes for the salad to arrive and an hour for the pizza to arrive! Other tables had to wait a while too but they got their food way before ours, and the wait staff never checked on us so we had to get up a few times to refill our drinks and remind them about the food. The food tasted good, but their service was so horrible that we will not go there again. If they had a floor manager who went around the restaurant to check on the customers and supervised the kitchen and the staff, it would have been better dining experience.

Bob C.

Good pizza, but takes freaking fooorrrrreeeevvvveeeerrr. Don't go on a Friday night unless you want to die waiting.

Niko G.

I love their sausage pizza and wings. The new remodelling looks great! If you want something new, try the hot sticks!

Ana T.

Roc-co-co-roc-co! That's the sound of my stomach purring with satisfaction after eating Rocco's Pepperoni Deep Dish Pizza. Let me break it down for you: *The CRUST--nice and toasty, fluffy and buttery, yummy and yummy. *The PEPPERONI--juicy and just right. *The CHEESE--nice consistency and just barely below the line of being excessive. *The SAUCE--tasty, but superabundant. Like a true nerd, I scraped off the surplus and measured it. Conclusion: there's 1/3 cup too much sauce on ONE slice of pizza. Yikes! On the bright side, each bite has a wonderful punch of flavor, and the pizza is still good after reheating it. For that, I will continue to order Deep Dish Pizza from Rocco's. And being the meat lover that I am, I feel it would be fitting and imperative to try the Heart Attack Special next time.

Thomas M.

I'm from the midwest and know what real midwest/Chicago-style pizza is like... and Rocco's definitely does it right! The thin crust pizza is LOADED with cheese and cut into squares, just like you find all over the midwest. Excellent sausage too. I haven't had the deep dish yet, but I'm sure it's authentic as hell. The wings are also top notch (cheap on Wednesdays!), and they have an excellent beer selection as well.

David Y.

Fun little joint to get together with friends and hang out. Not sure if this was an off night for the servers and staff, but my visit here was less than desirable. We were seated fairly quick and the wait staff asked for our drink orders and we were given the menus to look over. I got the lemonade, it says its fresh lemonade, but I couldn't tell the difference if it was fresh or if it was minute-maid. Ordered their 12 piece medium wings with ranch and a side of their spicy hot sticks. It seemed like everyone was complimenting Rocco's for this. The spicy hot sticks, aren't really anything special. Breaded dough with their spice seasoning. It does have a good kick to it and was well worth it. However, the wings on the otherhand, not so stellar. For all the rave everyone was giving Rocco's I personally could've whipped some up from the frozen section on the grocery store and it would've have tasted better. My friends ordered two thin crust white pizza. The waitress brought us one pizza and told us there was a mistake with the other pizza and it was being remade (This is understandable, everyone makes mistakes). The only problem was, the pizza she brought us first, was luke-warm at best, and was burnt. The cheese on the pizza was dry and not hot at all. I'm sure everyone loves a nice fresh hot pizza right out of the oven...this was not that. We still had a slice or two left from the first pizza when the second pizza arrived. The second pizza was the same type of pizza as the first, but this one was HOT!!!!!! The cheese was still hot and you could tell that it was just taken out of the oven. We had to let the pizza slices sit on our plates to cool down before taking some bites out of it. It seemed like they used a lot of salt on all of their foods...pizza, wings, pasta... It was packed when we got there and a line started to form when we were seated...but it appeared that they had more than enough wait-staff on hand to help all the tables. The service was not good. When the waitress finally came back to check on us, she was friendly and kind. My visit here was not the best. I could only imagine how crazy and hectic it would be when they have their wing night during the week. I was not impressed.

Tiffany B.

They know Chicago pizza. I'm from Chicago. It was a nice treat to have a piece of home. It's been years since I've lived in Chicago and back then, they didn't do different pizzas. It was all pretty standard. I like the kick in some of the pizzas at Rocco's. Looking forward to ordering again.

Frank G.

A little pricey but good pizza. I would have given 5 stars, but they need to get rid of that cook's tips can off the counter. What balls. It's not our fault they don't pay you what you think you deserve. It even appeared that the cook knew I didn't put anything in the stupid can. I hope he didnt do anything to the pizza. I tip waitresses and especially bartenders, but this is absolutely ridiculous. The prices are already high enough without someone expecting a tip just for doing their job behind the oven.

Alex T.

I don't know too many places that serve up deep dish pizza in Tucson, but Rocco's has it down. They also have some delicious wings, and on Wednesday they have great specials for them. Definitely come in and check this place out!

Marianne L.

I have never had a dish here that I didn't absolutely love. Wings, pizza, pasta... you name it. Their pesto is to die for!

John S.

This place is pretty good!! I really like the wings here, although one of my dining companions wasn't too thrilled. (He likes the Parmesan Garlic wings at Wings Over Broadway, but Rocco's only has buffalo sauce in varying degrees of heat. Currently I am very upset about my last visit at Wings Over Broadway so am boycotting them [see my review of them entitled "Bad Taste in My Mouth"], but I have to admit that their wings are certainly larger.) Another friend, a woman, enjoys Rocco's wings. I love the way the wings are cooked, but they are a little small. Rocco's serves crisp veggies and quality bleu cheese with the wings, not the oil-laden crap you get at Buffalo Wild Wings. My friend Mark and I each had a salad, and both were large, fresh, and crisp! The salads come with bread. Since I'm low-carbing I gave my bread to Mark. It certainly appeared to be fresh. I have had Rocco's thin-crust pizzas before and enjoyed them. Their tomato sauce actually has flavor (imagine that!). My only complaint is that the last pie I had there needed some more cheese. Overall, Rocco's is a winner! I recommend the joint and will definitely be going back for more. :)

David A.

Deep dish style is wonderful. Service is extremely poor, never a manager in sight and place seems to be run by inexperienced and/or poorly trained staff, as well as being routinely understaffed especially on Wednesday evenings for the popular wing-night. I enjoy eating outside whenever possible and they do have a nice patio, however, it seems there could be a better mix of two and four seat tables (rather than the large round ones they have) that would make additional seating possible. This place would easily be four stars with a better patio arrangement, five if they had better customer service.

Daniel B.

Just had my first pizza from Rocco's. I grew up in Chicago, so my expectations were very high. Gino's East, the original Uno's, Lou Malnotti's, Carmen's in Evanston, and a hidden gem in Waukegan called The Quonset are the pizzas I grew up on and miss dearly. But I have to say that I was not disappointed in Rocco's. In my opinion, it's not as good as any of those, but only because it just needs some simple spices to make it amazing. I got the thin crust Chicago fire, which had a lot of very tasty sausage, more than any place in Tucson. Kudos for not skimping on the meat, but they were a little stingy with the onions and pepper. The crust was perfect-- not too thin and not burnt to a tasteless crisp-- it was just right. So for the pizza alone, I give them 4 stars. Because of all the bad reviews on their service and wait times during peak hours, I ordered carry-out at 3:30 on a Thursday and bypassed all that, so I can't comment on their service. Their pizza is my new favorite in Tucson, so I'm happy I gave them a shot.

Instead of just flaming out this restaurant... this darling of Tucson, I will write you a detailed description of why I give 2 stars. Deep dish pizza is not something you need training at Le Cordon Bleu to prepare well. But what really separates a mediocre 'za from great is subtle touches. Like: Crust- Should stand proudly above the slab of cheese, be flaky with a touch of buttery and pull apart like a biscuit as crumbs of cornmeal rain down around you like golden chaff. Their crust is none of this. It was too firm, lacking in texture, and needlessly towered 2" above the pizza Ingredients- I ordered the Italian Sausage, which for a carnivore is the benchmark by which you can really judge a pizza restaurant. Cut corners, and this is the first place it will show. This ingredient is a bellwether for the rest of the dish to come. The sausage just did not wow and was underseasoned. Texture- The 9" deep-dish showed up at my table and immediately started weeping moisture, nay- water from itself. I believe that they used canned tomatoes and didn't drain off the juice; leaving a swamp pie that was soggy. I am firmly convinced that all of the fanmail for this restaurant must be from people who haven't had the real deal. If you give everything 5 stars, it just shows an inability to discriminate. I will eat my box full of leftovers... But only because I paid a grip of cash for the pie. Trust me on this one, I grew up in Chicago!

Paul D.

I loved this place I hated this place It is a local restaurant with a lot of character The woman on the phone was "put out" with my questions It is clean The Sicilian pizza was more suited for California Kitchen They cut their pizza in squares, not triangles The restrooms were dirty They used real sausage $50.00 seemed a lot for 3 small pizzas and 4 slices of cheesecake The pizza was good The pizza was not great And best of all But at least They had Eli's Cheesecake They had Eli's Cheesecake

Elyse P.

YUUUUUUM! I'm from Chicago and hesitate to eat anywhere that claims to be associated with Chicago - it usually ends up being lame and unauthentic (re: Old Chicago) But this place ... I like the pizza more than the classic deep dish pizza places in Chicago! Yikes ... don't tell anyone! It's a bit of a dive, but the pizza is damn good. I get the deep dish with mushrooms and prosciutto. And we've also had the fried zucchini - can't beat fried vegetables. Ha. This place is so bad for your waistline, but so good for your taste buds!

Barnabas L.

Best Pizza in Tucson right here in my opinion. They have great deep dish pizzas and the one i recommend is the Kitchen Sink. I go here when i am hungry and two slices get me satisfied and three get me full. The Bread Sticks are amazing. The staff are an intersting bunch but i love them. It is seat yourself. If they are busy make sure the waiter sees you sitting down in their area or they might not know you are there. (thats the only bad thing) Be sure to not be starving when you go or else the wait will feel like it is forever. Deep dishes take a long time to cook, all their pizzas are amazingly tasty! If you have three people go it will come out to about 7-8 dollars a person.

Angela S.

My only gripe about this place as a (former) native Tucsonan is that I waited until just before moving to St. Louis to try it! I went here with a friend who is a longtime fan and we split a caprese salad followed by a 12" veggie pizza (thin style). The caprese salad was by far the best I've ever had! The tomatoes and basil were both very fresh and the mozzarella was the most delicious I had ever tried - slightly salty, full of flavor, and lacking the too-chewy, putty feel of other mozzarella I've had. The balsamic reduction over the entire thing was good enough to be scraped off the plate. Our veggie pizza was outstanding - loaded with tons of veggies that were just cooked enough - nothing soggy or dried out here! - and the variety was outstanding. There was some marinara sauce and the cheese had been baked on top of the veggies and both were tasty but present in smaller amounts so that the great flavors of all the vegetables could come through. The service was decent, and the patio area looked great to sit at (we ended up inside). Overall I will definitely be returning the next time I am in Tucson!

Sandy W.

The lunch special is the BEST - a huge slice with two toppings and a really wonderful salad. Rocco and team make this place home!

Nicolas F.

Best deep dish pizza ever! I could not believe that this pizza is so good and cheesy. Way too much cheese than your heart is supposed to handle, yet, I still love eating here. don't come here if you're on a diet. The Heart Attack Special is my favorite deep dish pizza. It has ridiculous amounts of meat such as sausage, prosciutto, pepperoni, roast beef, etc. I love this place because I always indulge when I'm here. If you leave still hungry, you must be from another planet because I always take home left-overs. 2 dollar cans of Old Style beer which is a Chicago classic. Decent beer at a decent price. Oh, and the freakin' wings are 25 cents on Wednesdays! Get there early and be prepared to wait about an hour or so if you have a party of four or more. Totally worth the wait though. BEST WINGS IN TUCSON! I'm not even kidding.

Marcy L.

Pizza and food is absolutely delicious!! Support your local restaurants and come on in!

John M.

Rocco's food is amazing and I've never had a problem with service. It's the best place to get thick crust pizza in Tucson that'd I've been to. Keep in mind that the wait might be a bit because it takes a while to make this style of pizza, but it's well worth it.

Kimberly S.

Had this for lunch today with a co-worker. First the portions are enormous! I got a small antipasto platter and I have half of it saved for tomorrow. I also got their fried mushrooms and split them with five people. They were delicious! I hate when restaurants do not season their batter for mushrooms. Rocco's have a great seasoning and were not over cooked. The Antipasto was great too. Very fresh. This place has it all! Great prices, great food and great service!

Nancy M.

Deep dish pizza was good but not worth the wait...over an hour with most tables empty. Our server was super friendly, choc chip cookie delish.

Joshua R.

I was back in Tucson over the weekend, for an event planned months in advance. Accordingly, I assured everyone that made the drive from California to Tucson with me that they would have the best deep dish pizza of their lives once we got to Tucson. After checking in and getting sorted out at the hotel bar, we hired a designated driver and headed straight to Rocco's. We piled into our booth and ordered large (12") pies with sausage, pepperoni, and black olives. Since proper pie takes a while to cook, we also got bread twists & red sauce as our appetizer. The bread twists were great, fluffy inside and crunchy out. The red sauce is the pizza sauce, and was great. We killed the apps and a few Moretti's later, our pies arrive. My mates were awestruck by the site and aroma - all good. They dove in and were immediately pleased. The sauce has just enough kick to keep you drinking, but not enough to burn. The mix of cheeses, mozarella, fontina, and parmesan was amazing. The taste of the cheese really comes through and is wonderful. The crust, much like the bread twists, was fluffy inside with a crunchy biscuit layer outside. The crust has its own wonderful flavor but also soaks in tastes of the sauce, cheese, and topping. Each component comes through individually and works together flawlessly - the key reason that deep dish is so special. Without question, everyone I brought to Rocco's agreed with me: this is the best deep dish West of Chicago.

Alex P.

Like many other reviewers, I am familiar with authentic Chicago-style pizza, and Rocco's definitely hits the target. The food is excellent, so no complaints there. I have to put in my two cents regarding the service and atmosphere, however. There is one waitress in particular who is rude and moody, and we always silently hope that we don't get seated at one of her tables. She never smiles and basically drops the food on the table with a "clunk" when she delivers it. I understand a bad day now and then, but it happens every time. There are other servers who do an excellent job, but it kind of ruins the meal when you get a surly server. In terms of the ambiance, the place has a kind of grimy feel. The tables usually have some sort of film on them, and I don't trust the salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese shakers. On one particular visit, there was a live fly wriggling in the cheese shaker. It was promptly replaced by the server, but it definitely left me with suspicions. All in all, the food is great, but I don't enjoy the experience. I would much rather order take-out than eat in the restaurant any day.

Amanda I.

We found this place on a recent visit to Tucson based on other reviews and decided to try it for ourselves. I am glad we did! When we first drove up we were surprised at how small the place is... reminded me more of a little dive than anything. But we gave it a go anyways. People mention bad service on the other reviews but we actually had a great server. The place wasn't overly busy when we went (on a Saturday night) and the food was awesome! We tried the wings which were decent but not above average... but the Everything But the Kitchen Sink Pizza was so yummy! Would definitely eat here again or order out. Great place!

Matisse M.

We ate there tonight and when I left I was a bit perturbed with myself for not going there more often! It's soooo frickin' good! Highlights of the meal include the house salad, hot breadsticks, and wings.... a.k.a. my whole meal! If you decide to heed my advice and eat at Rocco's, try to go on a Wednesday for their 25¢ wing night! The hot wings here are medicinal in the sense that they can clear your sinuses. However, if you don't like the feeling of your lips on fire, then I would recommend going for one of their milder sauces.

Aharon L.

Get out of my dreams and into my stomach. I really do have dreams about this delicious pizza. The absolute best in town. Don't mess around with the thin crust, get the deep dish and a old style. Did I mention it is the best pizza in town. No joke. The best I've had outside of Chicago. Tip- Wing night ($0.25 wings) is on Wednesday, It is crazy, show up early and be prepared to wait.

Audrey M.

One of my favorite restaurants in Tucson. I grew up eating Chicago style pizza, and i have to say this is the most authentic i've eaten outside of Chicago. I always get the stuffed kitchen sink, and always order a large because it's just as good cold the next day. The cheesy bread is fantastic. The fried ravioli is amazing, and the hot wings are outstanding! EVERYTHING I have eaten at this place has been worth every food baby ive gotten. I also enjoy the clever wording on the sign outside, it's different everytime, last time it said "Now With More Muffintop".

Loco C.

Best Wings N Pizza I have ever had! Get the deep dish, but get a small size, because it will fill you up! Get the Medium wings, I think it's their best! One bad thing about this place is that they won't let you mix your wing flavors. Overall, it offers Amazingly flavorful food, kind of little pricey thou. Also I just found out that they deliver M-F at lunch, oh yeah!

Eric C.

I've been here a few times for lunch and I can't seem to help, but order the Special, slice of pizza and 6 wings. The slice is not Gino's or Giordano's but it does well for a slice of Chicago style pizza. The wings are good and the hot didn't melt my face, but had just enough spice. It's always packed for lunch but the wait usually isn't too long. Maybe next time I go I'll try something else.

Mitch W.

Ate here for a tennis team dinner and it was very good. we had to wait about 45 minutes for a table on a friday night with a party of 10. the restaurant is small and has an outside eating area that almost doubles the capacity. excellent thin crust pizza! we ordered two thin crust. one with pepperoni and mushrooms, then one with pepperoni, onions, sausage and olives. i didn't get a chance to try the thick crust, but it looked very good. the thick crust had pepperoni, sausage, green peppers and onions. from what i heard, the thick crust is very filling. definitely recommend this place.

Bob W.

Too much garlic in the sauce, too much garlic in the sausage and I'm pretty sure garlic is in the pizza crust. If you live in Tucson, enjoy! It's the best pizza you will ever have. If you are from Chicago, WAIT TILL YOU GET HOME! I noticed one reviewer stated " It's the best pizza in Tucson". That's like saying " It's the best bacon sandwich served in the temple". Chicago visitors, stay away. This stuff sucks!

Scott M.

Pleasantly surprised. Wanted to try something different. wanted pizza and tired of the chain places that serve crap. Has the Dive mom and pa ambiance, they could use a remodeling, but the pizza is good, good sauce, not bland, nice crust, generous cheese. Nice local spot for some greesy pizza and wings.

Eric G.

OK, I'm a NY'er, so I know I know... what do I know about Chicago style pizza? Admittedly, I lean towards a thin, folded slice above these "pies" any day of the week. But still, I enjoy pizza. Period. And who doesn't enjoy a good calzone? Yummy ones are offered up here daily. But wait, did I skip over the pizza? Well, the deep dish is good. If you're a Chicago pizza fan, you may even say it's great. I tend to like Zachary's more, but whatever. The thin crust? Well, I just don't know... a Chicago-style thin crust should be a little crisper. To me, it almost seemed more like an offering to appease the general masses who might not be down with a big fat dip dish. Beer selection is wonderful. If you like beer... even if you only like a particular style of beer, you will be fine--they have something to quench your thirst. As for ambiance, well, it's a pizza joint. And rightly so, it feels like a pizza joint. That said, it is a little on the small side. On nicer days/nights, the crowd can spill out to the patio area though, so that's nice. But leave your cigs at home as even the outdoor area is "No Fumar". Next time, I will make it a point to try one of these so-called legendary cookies of theirs.

Cindy N.

I am a pizza maven especially with my N.Y. background. My years in Queens has spoiled me rotten for the most authentic pies. However, I lived in Calif. in the 70's and there was a place called Numero Uno which was a Chicago type pizza restaurant. This was simply the best pizza I have ever eaten. Not to place drop but I had pizza in Italy and was just thin crust and nothing to write home about. So I have been searching all my pizza loving life for something similar to Numero Uno. Thought Rocco's would help me find Nirvana. Much to my chagrin it didn't quite reach my expectations. It was good and a little different with the unique crust. Well I guess I will just have to keep searching to replace the pizza I left behind in California. Went back a few years ago and it was gone.

Sylvia B.

Good deep dish pizza. Fresh toppings with everything you'd expect. It's messier than you'd expect so you'll be knife and forking it.

Mikey G.

Second trip to Roccos. The pizza here is never a disappointment. Probably my favorite pizza anywhere. Service... hmm. Well to comment on this I'd actually have to receive some sort of service. Where someone preforms a task and I pay them in some sort of monetary exchange, not sure I had any of that tonight. "Service" here was HORRRIBLE. Show up, and wait about 20 minutes waiting to be seated. Not "Hey the wait will be 20 minutes," more along the lines of no one talked to us for 20 minutes. We stood there, group of three adults, not even acknowledged. Two guys stood behind the counter and tried to pull the 5th grade, "if I don't look at you, your not there" number. I was in a rather good mood and really enjoy their food so I was willing to deal with this crap for a bit. After the initial wait, we waited another 5-10 minutes before I could finally flag down a employee and ask them if they where still open (I deserved some humor at this point). Said employee brought us to a table and about twenty seconds later some dude pops out from the bathroom and lets us know that it was his table and he was just seated five minutes ago... cooooool. So we go back to the front and wait for another 5-10 minutes. FINALLY some guy walks out front and cleans the table. The person that looks to be the manager says "its ready for you." Now I do not have a ego problem, but after waiting at least 30 minutes with the "Please wait to be seated" sign staring back at me, I for some reason expected them to seat us. No dice. Walk of shame as the rest of the restaurant wonders why we are playing musical chairs and they where not invited. Waiting another 10 minutes, we finally get to order our pie :) Pie took a while to come out of the kitchen, but pry wouldn't have been some-what normal (assuming they didn't let us wait for 30 minutes on an off day). Server was 'kinda' out of it when it came to refilling beers... at this point I needed at least two to keep me smiling and polite. Once again nothing super abnormal, but definitely a contributing factor to horrible customer service. Pie was terrific. My brother is a very light eater, and he took out three slices (This would be like getting a gold medal for his weight bracket of eating). No doubt everyone would request Rocco's the next time we had pizza. This whole time there was another patron in there that was ragging against the machine... err... waitresses. Up and down, moving from table to booth, shouting, etc, etc... Guy got up and announced he was out of salad dressing three times (was funny to me at this point). Guy was mentally there, but a little to focused on a fine dining experience that was not being fulfilled by the lackluster wait-staff. We where also sat around a lot of hipsters. While they deserve a tasty pie just as much as I do, the restaurant was packed with them. Basically the atmosphere was a third "baked-coeds", a third "angry about everything, Vino dicks," and a third "people just trying to eat." These are the kids that took a good 10 minutes trying to divide up the bill into 5 parts. Future politicians for sure. Add into it some floors that where so slimy Taco Bell's grease trap would be disgusted, there's not much that Rocco's does well besides food. Just pizza, 5 stars. Just "service" -1 star. Dear Roccos, Call me when your waiters are coherent. I get better service driving backwards through a Wendy's drive-through at 1am. Love, This guy.

We went to Rocco's for the first time tonight. A very satisfying experience. I would give an A minus. We really liked the breadsticks with the marinara sauce for an appetizer. They were obviously freshly baked and well seasoned. The marinara was delicious too. They were accommodating and modified our pizza order. We had a half "fungus humongous" and a half "heart attack special" large size. We could only finish half of it. Delicious! The sandwiches, calzones and pasta that other patrons were eating looked very good too. Also a plus was friendly wait staff. We will certainly be back again. This will help ease the pain of the demise of Zachary's which was the best pizza in the universe.

I hate to write a review of Rocco's, because I don't like waiting in line. But Rocco's has THE BEST Chicago deep dish pizza ever - none of the pizza I had in Chicago even came close. I have the vegi one -the vegi's are charred - yum! I ask for some of their creamy blue cheese dressing to dip the crust in. (Oh, sweet mystery of life at last I'm found you!) Aside from their very popular spicy buffalo wings - they have bread sticks that have the hot spices - that is also great with the blue cheese dressing. I have never had anything else - because I have to have the deep dish pizza every time I go. OMG it's so good.

We have been fairly regular customers at Rocco's, but our experience last night will keep us from going back for a long long time. My wife ordered a soup and salad combination. The soup was not very good and the salad came loaded with sun dried tomatoes and OLIVES, which my wife does not eat. She asked the waitress to get her a new salad with NO OLIVES. The waitress gave her a hard time, looked at her like she was nuts, and lectured us that we should read the menu. She has been working at the restaurant for 8 years and the salads always come with olives. She was nasty and would not let up about customers learning to read menu descriptions. I have had the salad at the restaurant before (I like olives), but do not remember ever seeing so many olives mixed throughout the salad. Usually I had a couple of olives on the side. This waitress never smiled, threw the food at us, lectured us again about reading the menu when she brought our food, and made our dining experience very memorable, not in a nice way. And my sausage, mushroom and onion Calzone WAS LOUSY... the worst I've ever had. I also think Rocco's switched to a different sausage... not as I remembered from my last deep dish pizza slice for lunch. It was a terrible tasting sausage in my Calzone. On our previous visit for lunch, the fried mushroon appetizers were also awful... tasted spoiled. I think it is time to avoid Rocco's.

This is probably the best pizza I've ever tried in Tucson and many other places. I am just so amazed by how delicious their veggie pizza is. Totally homemade style. The crust is on the thin side but substantial enough to still fulfill your carb craves. Loaded with different kinds of mushrooms, greens, tomato, herbs, onion, garlic, and many more healthy ingredients. It's not greasy at all unlike Brooklyn's. One thing I didn't like about them is that they don't sell slices after 4pm. It's a little pricey. $15 for a small thin crusted veggie pizza. But the flavor is totally worth it.

Jackie T.

The overcooked wings were a one-time occurrence. The repeat visits have proved them to be above average. The skin is crisp with a juicy interior. The hot wings are standard in flavor.The barbecue sauce is too ketchup and lacking in sauce flavor. Both varieties came swimming in loads of sauce. It was as unpleasant as a piece of lettuce drowning in ranch, but a swipe against the side of the bowl made it up to par. $0.25 wings are always appealing, but it's dine-in only. They won't charge you if you don't finish like some all-you-can-eat sushi places do, but it still breaks my heart to see so many unfinished wings go to waste in one night. The grumpy cashier was not grumpy on my last visit and answered my questions thoroughly, but I have still never seen the man smile. Rocco's a cool dude and seems genuinely interested in the well-being of his customers though. The servers are always in a good mood too. Their daily changing sign will always make me giggle.

Yvonne G.

Excellent tasting food. We had the kitchen sink deep dish pizza with mild wings and house salad with the vinegarete dressing! The dressing is sooo good! Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Worth the wait!

Dave P.

Best deep dish pie in Tucson. I've had them all and this is the best. I've never been to Chicago but when I'm in here everyone looks and talks like I imagine Second City residents. Try the Great Chicago Fire (deep dish with sausage, onion and jalapenos) and finish off with the quarter pound cookie. It might be a simulacrum of an authentic experience but I am always authentically happy with the pizza.

Justin R.

Food: B Service: B Price: A Environment/Cleanliness: A This place was alright, a cool little spot that is in a relaxed setting. I would stay away from the pizza- the cheese was like plastic and not that enjoyable. On the other hand, the hot wings were really awesome. They also have great lunch specials and we got 6 fat meals for only 30 bucks. On Wednesdays they have 30 cent wing night which is pretty...dank.

Robert N.

What a hole in the wall! I'm no Chicago style expert, but it's good pizza with friendly dine-in service. Not a place for snobs...too casual.

Jack C.

Fantastic and affordable. The wings are delicious, with some of the best barbecue and hot sauce I've tasted. The pasta and pizza are also winners. Oh, and they also have a brilliant invention called "hot sticks," which are basically bread sticks with hot wing sauce stirred into the dough (also available in barbecue). Did I mention it's one of the only places in Tucson where you can get Old Style?

Amanda H.

I LOVE ROCCO'S! I've been going here pretty regularly for the past few years and the food is always amazing. Their deep dish pizza is fantastic, and their thin crust is pretty good, though I'd stick with the deep dish. The house vinaigrette is so tasty. Their fried zucchini is always served VERY hot and crispy. Their BBQ wings are very good. The Big Dave's sandwich is BIG and good. The service has always been sort of lackluster but I still give the place 5 stars. Their waitstaff is comprised primarily of 20-somethings and they all seem a little frazzled or disconnected. I think the place seems a little short-staffed, as I've had to wait an inordinate amount of time on more than one occasion after grabbing a seat, for someone to come take drink orders or to bring the check. There is one particular guy (redhead I think, with a beard?) that I've seen more than once behind the counter at the register and he seems less than thrilled to be there and does not seem very friendly, but at least he wasn't my server. As I said, this somewhat lame service is tolerable if it means I can get food as tasty as this. Go to Rocco's!! Beware though, it gets way busy on some nights of the week (and Wednesday is 50 cent wing night) so be prepared to wait.

Eric H.

This is my first review and I just want to point out that I work in the service industry and I am not picky. With that being said, I have never experienced worse service, not even at a bad-service themed restaurant (Dick's last resort). I really tried to like this place because the food is descent and its close to home, but I just can't get past the unprovoked bad attitude and slow service at the front counter. I have been here several times, and based on the food, I would give it 4 stars. Every time I have been here, the same girl is at the counter and she has been consistently rude to me and everyone else I witnessed her dealing with. Did I mention she is painfully slow too? Well, I finally reached my limit with Rocco's when I tried to go for Wednesday wing night. I have attempted to go on wing before, but it wasn't worth the 1 1/2 hour wait. So I showed up at 7:40 hoping to avoid the crowds. It was not crowed and no one else was waiting. I waited patiently at the front counter for nearly 5 minutes while "the rude one" had a chat with a coworker. She finally asked me what I needed, I politely asked for a table for two, and she began to seat me, then she said "the special is over". It was exactly 7:45, and when I pointed that out, I was told "we run on our own time". This was the straw that broke the camels' back. I turned around and walked out without saying a thing while she muttered some sort of insult at my back. I understand being sick and tired of dealing with needy customers, I get it when your beat after an exhausting rush, but the service here at the front counter is so bad that I will not go back. I have been a bartender for 13 years, and I have dealt with all types of people and there are situations that warrant being rude, but not every customer every time. I tip excessively, I tolerate a lot when it comes to service but I will not return to this establishment until that miserable excuse for an employee gets canned or quits.

Eve S.

I don't think it's humanly possible for me to love this place anymore. It's casual and most importantly, utterly delicious. You MUST try their wings, they are out of this world and highly customizable. Their pizza ranks on the top of my special Pizza List, also.

Joseph F.

THESE........WINGS........ARE........NO......JOKE! Best wings I have ever had. There is not much else to say. The service was a little slow, but that's to be expected when you have a tiny restaurant filled with patrons and people making carry-out orders, not to mention it takes a little longer for deep dish pies to cook. Bottom line, awesome wings and good deep dish pizzas. Worth the wait.

Kelly P.

Wing night at Rocco's is fantastic. 25 cent wings. What more could you ask for!? Maybe some more wait staff... expect to wait at least 30-45 minutes for your wings on Wednesday evenings... especially when half of the football team comes in and dine. Oh, and you can't take any leftovers of wings on these nights! Otherwise the place is diverse, in terms of decor and customers. Next i hope to try their pizza!

Robyn G.

Rocco's is the best pizza in Tucson. There, I have said it. It took me too long to find Rocco's but since I have, I have not found anything better. Let me say this- we have some really good pizza in Tucson and this will be just one of my reviews that says so but Rocco's is for when you want real pizza on a pizza and beer kind of night, super casual and always amazing, tiny little spot with funky decor and absolutely no snootiness anywhere at all. Don't dress up, seriously. At all. Rocco's reminds me of the the pizza I grew up with, while they have deep dish and thin crust, I am a thin crust gal. It's what I believe is Sicilian style, cut in squares with just enough toppings and enough sauce to taste it. They have cheap beer and the worlds best appetizer item. It's true. GET THE HOT STICKS. All caps, yelling at you, get them. Delish! They also make fabulous homemade soups and cookies. Should I ever move away, I would definitely visit Rocco's any time I visited the 520.

Patrick V.

Maybe it's not saying much, but this is my my favorite pizza in Tucson. Rocco's makes a cheesy, saucy, crusty pie that is to die for. I feel like ordering a whole pie is much better than going by the slice at lunch, so round up the troops and head down there. My favorite toppings are spinach and chicken. It can get pretty busy and the parking is situation isn't too great. My favorite time to go was on a weekend afternoon (right before a UA hoops game). Pro tip: get the BBQ and/or hot sticks

Amanda B.

So I live in Oakland now where everyone claims that the most amazing pizza is Zachary's, actually the same Zachary's that Tucson has. Tried it, wished I was home in Tucson where I could have Rocco's. I enjoy this place so much that I don't even mind the way my stomach hurts from being so stuffed with oil and cheese afterwards. The hot sticks make my heart skip a beat. I like em spicy. Everything is good here. It's small, which can make the wait long, but do it anyway, or order ahead. Update: My husband and I drove 16hrs from Oakland to Tucson for our wedding. The first place we went when we got there? Not to my folks, not to see friends, noooo, we went to Rocco's. We sat in the car and ate hot sticks til we felt sick. Then we went to see friends and family. We also did our best so that we didn't have to share. For the next week we feasted on left over hot sticks (yes we had about 10 orders).

Ambre C.

I'm sure the pizza would have been good if we'd had time to enjoy it. The surly college waitress told us it would be 20-25 minutes, which was fine but we told her we were in a hurry. 45 minutes later the pizza came out, we wolfed down a couple of bites and fled - all for $40. This made us late for our U of A tour and miss the planetarium show for the day. If a pizza is going to take 45 min, fine but tell me and we'd have ordered a sub. Boo for service.

Greg J.

Best pizza I've ever had, and to my surprise, BEST gazpacho ever. Their sauce is exactly what I like, smooth texture and plenty of garlic. The 1/4 home baked cookies are great, as well. When I lived in Tucson I hit Rocco's maybe 25 times, and every rare visit I try and swing by.

Robbie S.

Rocco's has delicious pizza, and you'd probably have to go to Chicago to find better. But their wings are the best in town. They aren't those dinosaur, or steroid sized wings you find at other places. They are ever so crispy, and a real bargain on their Wing Night on Wednesdays. They also have really great lunch specials. A huge slice of deep dish with two toppings is less than $5 bucks, or you can get their Frank and Jack Special with six wings for under $8. Hands down, this place is fantastic.

David B.

Why must I have to come to you ? Is it always about you ? What about me and my pizza loving coworkers ? We get hungry too. We're here for you 24/7/365. And what do we get from you ? Sorry we don't deliver. And we can't just stop what we're doing either. How about a compromise ? You bring the pizza just once and if you don't like us you don't have to come back . Think about it.....

Eleanor S.

My co-workers wanted to order from Rocco's because they love it. I went to the on- line menu and chose the Penne with Vodka Sauce. When my co-worker phoned the store, she was told my dish was no longer on the menu. I then chose something else to complete the order. We were told it would be ready in 20 minutes. 40 minutes later, my co-worker is still standing in the store and was just told " we have a lot going on here". Unless you're delivering a baby or something, what's going on should be FOOD! Unacceptable. Oh the food was OK.

Patrick L.

Definitely the best pizza and wings in Tucson! The salads, sandwiches, and beer selection are also top-notch. I always judge Chicago-style pizza by the crust, and Rocco's is the best in town. One note for those who don't regularly enjoy deep-dish pizza: it takes time to cook, but it is well worth the wait. No legitimate place is going to deliver a deep-dish pizza in 15 minutes. Expect to wait 30-35 minutes for your pie, maybe a little more if the place is really busy. The place gets packed on Friday and Saturday nights, so the service can be a bit chaotic during those times. Never had poor service, though. The place is tiny and crazy, but it's the best pie in town!

Jacob K.

Authentic Chicago style pizza with a hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. Nice patio area too.

Steph J.

I love this place. It's cozy and the staff is super nice.The wings are excellent! Their sauce is great- nice and chunky, not watery like a lot of places. I highly recommend getting them "hot". They are for the serious wing lover. If you want something spicy but aren't into wings, try the hot sticks. They're fantastic! They're such a great idea- bread twists with wing sauce in them. YUM. I'm also a fan of the spaghetti. Nice thick sauce full of flavor. They have a great selection of beers as well. Oh! They just added A/C so when you're eating those spicy wings, the sauce is the reason you're sweating.

Kevin D.

I like this pizza much more than Zachary's. They both cost about the same, but Rocco's seems to have a cleaner, fresher taste, if that makes sense.

Ahmed S.

Since the place on 6th street is closed, this is now the best wing place in tucson. Indo buddy and I always used to come here, especially on their half off wing nights. Great food. The place is really cute, really reminiscent of a dive Chicago bar. Highly recommend it. Parking is easy, but the parking lot has a ton of holes. They also close on regular Tucson time, 9 pm, even on weekends though. The bathrooms are not so clean and the water cups small. Still, have to check this place out.

Danny M.

There are a lot of AWESOME things about Rocco's. Here's a list: The most stellar marquee in all of Tucson. Changes frequently and always has something interesting. Hella good pizza. Like hella good. Really really really good garden salad. With green leafy lettuce and things that make you feel healthy (maybe cucumbers and carrots and cabbage). They sell Old Style Beer. Not only do they sell Old Style, but on the menu it says "Old Style -- It's what's in Dad's fridge." They were selling the Knockout Pills CD there for a while. Punk fucking rock!

julie c.

Roccos is a local place with a ton of character and delicious pizza.

Ryan S.

Ambience: 3/5 (a little more upscale than the other major deep-dish pizzeria in town, Zachary's, but that's not saying much; not bad, but not overly memorable either) Food: 3/5 (I am biased against deep-dish pizza, which is what Rocco's is known for, and biased in favor of thin crust; I ordered both types; I was not impressed with the thin crust as it was not thin enough, but it wasn't bad either; the thick crust was decent--I see why people like it as it was very thick, with stuffed cheese in the crust and a layer of extra sauce on the top, but like Zachary's and all deep-dish pizza, there is way too much cheese) Service: 4/5 (I was satisfied; the pizza came out in what felt like a reasonable time; water glasses were kept full; but nothing too special) Value: 3/5 (on par with Zachary's as far as getting what you pay for; not overpriced but also not a bargain) Verdict: again, as with Zachary's I see why people like this place and their pizza; and despite my dislike for deep-dish, if you like deep dish you can't go wrong with Rocco's

Steven L.

Trying to find an alternative to zachary's pizza this was not it. This pie was very salty and the sauce was over powering, good service price was ok.

Liz G.

We ate at Rocco's yesterday, and it was delicious! I was absolutely blown away by the hot wings. We got the hot variety, and the sauce was unlike any I have ever had before. It almost had the consistency of spaghetti sauce, but packed quite a kick. If I had a spoon, I would have scraped up all the remaining sauce on the plate and ate it like soup. The wings were also very crispy, which I love. The deep dish pizza didn't disapoint either. The vegetables were fresh and delicious, particularly the jalapenos, which were not from a jar. My only complaint is that they didn't have many domestic beers. Old Style seemed to be about it. Their import selection was good, but with pizza and wings, I like a plain old Coors Light.

Daniel H.

Best wings in Tucson - you need to stop in on Wings Wednesday!

Brooke R.

After living in Tucson for about 8 months we got a coupon in the mail for a free pizza since we were new in the neighborhood. 8 months new. The first pizza we had was a canadian bacon and pineapple. Everything was done perfectly. They have New York style pizza (as opposed to Chicago deep dish) which is what I'm after in pizza. The lady at the counter was very nice. This restaurant was warm and there were flies inside. My recommendation is to eat your food at home. My new favorite place for pizza. I only wish I had tried this place sooner.

Jenderon T.

Okay this review is months late but I finally found the time to post. My girlfriend and I found this place thru yelp and was pleasantly surprised. I was rather skeptical as I'm from chicago but apparently a lot of folks are from chicago in Tucson---go figure. Anyhow, the vegan pizza is amazing. I don't know what it is about it but they nailed good pizza and with vegan ingredients--which can be an oxymoron. I'm not even vegan but Jen is and we were both impressed. Other folks here have mentioned Zachary's which I don't know if that's related to the one in Oakland I use to go to but I would say this place is on par with Zachary's. You wouldn't tell from the cheesey sign out by the road and the college fast food decor.

Paul B.

Best deep dish in Tucson. Period.

Ann L.

I've been dining here since they opened, 16 years ago. Fantastic food! I've never had a bad meal here. I especially love the Fungus Humongous Pizza! The salads, soups, wings and cookies are also fabulous as is everything else I have had here. The food is fresh and made to order, so there may be a wait. Well worth it!!! Plenty of parking for cars and bikes. Well located in the center of town. Shop Local!!!

Pete C.

I've been back here a few times, and I must say the food quality is quite good and is very satisfying. The Italian Beef sandwich is excellent, but it is spicy, so to those who prefer mild fare, you've been warned. I've also tried the Chicago pizza, and since I'm not from Chicago, I can't attest to its authenticity. But I can say it's a tasty meal if you're in the mood for Italian, but want something different. The place is sometimes busy, but the waitstaff seems to be attentive. I had a bad experience the first time I tried this place, but I will say the taste and quality of the food is good and it is consistent.

Gaciel A.

I'm not the biggest fan of deep dish pizza as it feels more like a casserole than a pizza, but I make an exception for Rocco's. The location is a bit small and often busy, but it works for this place. If you haven't tried the wings, do yourself a favor and do! They are nicely spiced and unique in taste. All it takes is a pizza slice, maybe two if you're really hungry and I'm pretty much done for the night. I have no idea if this is authentic, but I recommend it none the less.

Katherine C.

Not only are the food and service excellent,but the ambiance, especially on the covered,misted patio is most enjoyable! We particularly appreciate being able to enter both the front entrance into the main dining room and the back entrance into the patio via wheelchair. We had a great meal there a week ago, enjoying their generous happy hour, which runs from 5 to 9 and features lots of $5 appetizers. We enjoyed the bruchetta, the little pizzas and the fried ravioli and veggies. The basil mojito was refreshing and tasty!

Jonathan B.

There are only a couple of places I will actually get pizza in Tucson. It's deep dish, it's tasty, and I really enjoy it. The lunch special is great, and the salad that comes with it it one of the reasons I go. They used oil cured olives, which are fantastic and it makes Rocco's something just different enough to really make it enjoyable. I don't go often, but each time I go, I have a great time.

Vanessa T.

Best pizza I've ever had! It was super thick with lots of big toppings. I only needed one slice to get full. Everything we got was great which was some sort of garlic pasta, fungus humongous pizza and a dinner salad with ranch. Great homemade ranch. Service was great. Every thing was amazing. Looking forward to coming again.

Tommy T.

Great service, nice people, good food, good prices, a old stand by! Go give them a shot you'll return again and again one of the best at wings! Not the best at pizza in my opinion? But all good

Kristina M.

Awesome food!! Pizza was delicious! Staff was very friendly. I loved the sauce on the pizza and antipasto dish and dressing appetizer was super yummy! First time eating here, will go again.

Jill N.

Yeh. This is definitly the best wing night in Tucson. $0.45 cent wings. with a minimum of 5.. 4 different flavors.. We also ordered a pizza, deep dish.. it was so nicely done. The beer was good, service was not fancy, but very casual, still spot on. It was awesome. We will totally return!!

Sharion K.

Having just moved to AZ from IL, I honestly did not expect deep dish pizza to be on the menu anywhere around here. However, on a quick trip to Tucson my husband and I were in the mood for some pizza we'd never had before and a chain restaurant was not on our list. We saw the great reviews for this place and the pictures were enough for us to give it a try. So we ordered a deep dish pizza with Italian sausage and green peppers, and the medium wings. We ordered to go and brought it back to our hotel room. I was concerned that the 15min drive would land us with cold pizza and soggy wings, but to our surprise the pizza was still piping hot with cheese oozing and the wings were still nice and crispy. As for the taste, the pizza is a bit different from the Chicago deep dish that we've had but it wasn't bad at all. Honestly, it was better than some of the deep dish we've had even in Chicago. The concept was the same, but the crust is a bit softer than we're used to, reminded us of Pizza Hut pan crust. As for the sauce.. The usual deep dish sauce is more tomato like, and this seemed more marinara-ish but it was a good taste. A little salty for our liking, but nothing extreme. They weren't stingy with the meat so that was a plus; could've put more veggies. The wings were some of the best we've had. Definitely a pleasant experience! I'm sure we'll be back to try more.

Ross L.

Tucson has a lot of pizzerias, but genuine Chicago-style pizza is pretty much nonexistent outside of Rocco's. This is the place to go if you are craving that thick, gooey pizza that makes you need a knife and fork. We got a stuffed pizza with garlic and sun-dried tomato -- the small size is enough for 2 people with room to spare. The pizza itself took about 45 minutes -- good thing we called ahead! When it came out, it was hot and fresh. The taste was fantastic, with the slight sweetness of the sauce, the savory taste of the cheeze, and the chewiness of the crust all blending together perfectly. The stuffed pizza is the way to go, with the cheeze running all the way through the crust. The restaurant itself is small, somewhat loud, and a bit on the dirty side. There's an outside patio, which I highly recommend if the weather is good. Service was good as well. If you are in Tucson and want deep dish, this is the place!

Amber P.

This is not a review of the food. Sadly we didn't make it that far: I'm baffled by all the positive reviews for Rocco's. Understandably, they were very busy the Friday night we went in. Approached the very dirty bar area and was told (impolitely) it is not open seating...ok no problem. I've been in the restaurant industry for many, many years. Gave the frazzled hostess our name and asked if we could order a beer while we waited. She poured our beers and then rudely shooed us away when we asked if we should pay, never gave an estimate for when we'd be sat either. ...we waited ...and waited ...they finally called a name, a party that came in after us. Ugh. waited some more to see another gentlemen approach the still dirty bar and be served. I approached the hostess to inquire why he immediately was served, 'bar is open seating...sometimes' We paid our beer tab and left. I'm sure the food would've been good but I'm left feeling upset by their lack of cleanliness and inhospitable employees. Management: if your staff is that weeded, start writing a schedule that is conducive for that amount of patrons.

KaliLilly S.

Getting straight to the point bc there really isn't any other way to go here... Ordered two deep dish pizzas and one thin crust; the fried ravioli, and a house salad with ranch dressing. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! I could taste the yeast in the crust of the deep dish pizzas -- that's how fresh it was!! Fried ravioli - Xlnt! House salad - don't sleep on it!! If you like pizza, you'll love Rocco's!

Jason U.

This is some of the best deep-dish pizza I've ever had, granted I've only had it a handful of times. The crust here is light and flaky, and the 'toppings' were very generous. It was a very good / well-structured deep-dish pizza, all around. Food - The large "stuffed" (veggie) pizza was huge, and very filling. Two ravenous people might be able to finish one; I did eat half, but my guest could stomach only 1/4 of the pie. I wanted to eat more, but it was just too much food. Sauce was tasty, and a little sweet. Service - Everything was done efficiently. I feel obliged to add -- they were very friendly folks. Was nice / felt at home. Thanks.. Re. pizza - would recommend ordering from the menu selections that are noted as having 'extra cheese,' but that's a personal preference. Definitely making sure to order some wings next time, as they are apparently a staple here. Word is that they can be ordered *extra* spicy if you ask the right way.

Cherée E.

I love this place. They have the best wings and deep dish pizza in town, by far. Their hot bbq wings are delicious and full of flavor and heat, which I've found most places miss one or the other. Their Wing Wednesday is a great deal but plan on getting there early or you'll wait sometimes hours for a table. Their deep dish pizzas normally take longer to cook but trust me, it's worth the wait. The only downside to this place is the small space and lack of seating as well as sometimes the waiters/waitresses can be a little unfriendly/unprofessional when they're stressed.

Hugo M.

For some lip smacking real deal deep dish this is a go to destination in Tucson. They have some wonderful menu offings and no matter what you order you can tell it is made with quality and abundance in mind. The beer selection is an eclectic mix of drafts, can or bottle offerings. Give this place a try and I am confident you will be back very soon there after. As a tip don't go if your in a hurry because the deep dishes take awhile to cook. Try to avoid this place prior to any big event at the university and this place can get very packed.

Tanya A.

The ingredients at Rocco's are fresh. You can truly taste it in the sauces and toppings. If you are not in the mood for pizza, there are lots of alternatives and specials to choose from, too. The wings are so tasty and the best Caesar salad I've had anywhere. I never leave Tucson without a visit to my favorite pizza place, Rocco's! I even stashed a pizza in my carry-on to bring home to my daughter. Good stuff.

Scott P.

With a name like Rocco and claiming Chicago, you better be able to back it up. Unfortunately, this place doesn't. Maybe to the layperson of Tucson this is Chicago pizza, but to Chicago natives it's a "close but no cigar" type of product. I recently moved to Tucson and while craving Chicago pizza after a few weeks, I found this place online. So I went there and gave it a try. My experience started with a wait time that was well over 30 minutes to get a seat. Would have been nice if the person who put my name on the wait list told me that there was outdoor seating available and would have been even better if they didn't seat others who came in after me before me. But I was patient because I wanted to try the pizza. Ordered a deep dish with sausage only. This is the true test of a Chicago pizza. I know some people will claim that you need to go with just cheese pizza so you can taste the dough/sauce/cheese combination, but if you're from Chicago, you don't order a pizza without sausage too. While the pizza wasn't all together horrible, it was not exactly great either. Nor was the service. I waited with an empty pint glass for over 15 minutes before someone noticed and asked if I wanted another beer. When the waiter came back with the beer, I asked about the sauce; was it the same for the thin, deep dish and stuffed pizzas? I was told yes. BIG problem there if he actually knew what he was talking about. Deep dish is traditionally chunky tomato sauce and thin is not. Neither is stuffed. That confirmed that I don't need to go back again since I wasn't a big fan of the sauce on the deep dish. Overall, it is better pizza than Mama's and Dominos but I would not qualify this as true Chicago pizza. Chicago "STYLE" pizza, yes. But they miss the mark on taste and composition. I WAS impressed by the Naked Raygun album cover on the wall which indicated that perhaps Rocco is truly from Chicago since that's a band probably few outside of the die hard 80's punk scene and Chicago natives know about. But, still not enough to raise the rating up to three stars. I'll be back to give it a 2nd chance. Maybe it was just a bad night. But if my 2nd experience is the same as the first, this rating will go down to a one star rating based solely on the fact that it's not a solid representation of Chicago pizza in my opinion.

I would've probably appreciated Rocco's more if it weren't for all the hype. The pizza was ok. Not Chicago pizza by any means but tasty nonetheless. We actually went because we heard the soups were amazing. Well they didn't really have soup. They had a tomato something or other but that doesn't really count. The Caesar salad was pretty good. A bit over dressed but not bad. Probably my favorite part of our visit was seeing a framed album cover of one of my favorite bands early work. Service was fine. Like I mentioned before, if It hadn't been so built up....or called Chicago pizza..I'd have liked it a bit more.

Nathan S.

Best Chicago pizza we've had in Tucson! Very good crust! The hot wings are great! Crispy, and actually spicy! They have great lunch specials too. We were both very pleased with everything.

Rocco's has the slowest service ever. If you come here for lunch, regardless of whether you have managed to avoid the rush hour, be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes before you see your food, and maybe another 30 minutes on top of that for your check. The service is always a bit off. I have almost never seen the same waiter/waitress working there. I have eaten at Rocco's numerous times, and I can count the times I felt the service was decent with one hand. But their food is solid. Pizza never disappoints me, and the deep dish is incredible. The house salad with Italian dressing (and maybe an order of chicken) is my go-to lunch option. Food makes everything better, instantly.

Nichole W.

Good wings and pizza. Be prepared for super deep dish, huge pies. Casual atmosphere.

Erin B.

After ten years of patronage, I can't believe I haven't reviewed Rocco's yet! Rocco's satisfies my penchant for midwestern gluttony. On occasion, you really just need a super carb attack of a meal and a can of Schlitz to wash it down. The place is no-frills, no fuss, no pretentiousness. Down-to-earth, good food that-speaks-for-itself experience in a fun, casual eatery. For their super-fabulously-filling pizza... Expect tons of sauce, tons of cheese, a thick, chewy deep-dish crust, and toppings galore. After one slice, you're pretty much done for. And then ALL THE LEFT OVERS NOMMM! Award winning wings, the best bleu cheese dressing you'll have in your LIFE, super awesome sammies that will leave you stuffed to the gills, positively scrumptious, buttery, HOMEMADE cookies... All of these delights have made Rocco's a Tucson staple and something I reguarly crave. All of this, yet nothing compares to my insatiable lust for HOT STICKS. Hot sticks are the undeniably sexy pairing of pizza dough, twisted with buffalo wing sauce, baked to golden perfection, and dipped in bleu cheese. (Or ranch. If you're one of those freaks who likes ranch.) One thing to consider, Rocco's is popular. And small. and BUSY. Be prepared to call far in advance for a delivery or pick-up order as this place gets packed during peak business hours. Service is usually very friendly; however, service definitely lags during the lunch and dinner rush. Don't be a dick to your server! They're trying to accommodate their crowd with the limited space they have. Another blemish that I've forgiven is that on occasion, the food can be slightly inconsistent. I experienced this only a couple of times in ten years, so their track record is still pretty good, IMO. Sloppily put together sandwiches or pizza, clearly thrown together in a panick during a rush. I have had some overdone hot sticks before. I ate them anyway. They are just that good!

Shannon E.

Came here for dinner on Friday with the family. The service was lightning fast, we had our food in just a few minutes. The Buffalo wings I ordered as an appetizer were delicious and the pizzas were fantastic. My husband and I got a large, 4 cheese thin crust pizza and our kids each got a child's pepperoni pizza. All of our pizzas were really good: great crust, flavorful sauce and a good melt on the generous serving of cheese. My only complaint would be that our waiter never offered to refill the adult's drinks, only the children's drinks. (Extra credit for them having a vintage Ministry album on the wall with the other décor.)

Amanda M.

ooooo this place is so great. Wings, caprese, deep dish pizza, cookies, wine-everything we had was crazy good aaaaand we ate a lot. Service was awesome too. If you're in Tucson, definitely eat something from here. Cheers Rocco's!! Thanks for being the best

Brian Q.

Driving through Tucson for work and wanted Pizza. Place was small and pretty loud. Pizza was pretty good although the sauce on top kinda threw me off at first. Service was slow even though only 3 tables were occupied. there were live and dead fly's all over the windows also, that wasn't cool! overall it was WAY too expensive for what it was :(

Jessica L.

So, so, so delicious! We have tried a LOT of pizza places since leaving our beloved fave in IL, and everything paled in comparison - until now. We came on the recommendation of some friends of ours, and we are so very glad we did! We had the wings and fried ravioli as appetizers, and have nothing but praise. The wings were crisp on the outside and super juicy on the inside. The house made ranch was amazing. The fried ravioli dipped in house made marinara was to die for too. Then the pizza came. We ordered the deep dish Kitchen Sink.....and suddenly our faith in pizza was restored. All the toppings were fresh and top notch, and the crust was just killer!! What matters with pizza is having excellent ingredients and time and love put into it, and this definitely had all the above. They go the extra mile and really care what they are serving, which is refreshing. The staff is super sweet too and very attentive. Well worth the trip from Marana - we will be returning again very soon!

Michael M.

Simply delicious... Wings... Amazing... Deep dish pizza... Absolutely delicious... Cookies... Yumm... Beer selection... Yes please...

Katie P.

Rocco's is epically delicious. I've eaten many Chicago-style pizzas at Giordano's and Gino's East (the real deal in Chicago) and this place totally matches them. So, don't worry about the "authentic" factor. That buttery flaky crust you have been dreaming about is waiting for you at Rocco's. I've also had the hot sticks and the hot buffalo wings. Both are awesome and I love that you can get them in smaller sizes - perfect for sharing even for two, but up to many people! The hot sticks sound simple but are so tasty and unique! These hot wings are crazy hot, but hands down my favorite in Tucson. Yes, I am a mostly-vegetarian, but I'm a sucker for hot wings. I have had them everywhere, and these are fresh! Fresh battered, juicy and crazy, crazy spicy. Of course they do make a mild & medium sauce, but that would ruin the fun! I received excellent, peppy service, and my water cup never ran dry. They carry a small but good selection of drafts (a few locals mixed with classics) and a decent-sized beer list. The wait can be crazy because it's not a big joint - so time it right (5 pm, summertime, maybe a Tuesday?) and enjoy the Chicagoy goodness.

Krystal G.

Love this little place! I have never really been a deep dish person. However the Kitchen sink deep dish pizza is always delicious and one slice for me is perfect! Which is awesome cause I love pizza leftovers!

Mia N.

The lunch specials here are an awesome deal. You can get pizza and a salad for $9, and honestly just the salad enough might have been enough to fill me up. But of course I had to try the pizza too. I really liked that the salad had legit greens,, not just the iceberg lettuce you get at most pizza/fast food places. The pizza was interesting! I never saw pizza made that way, but it was tasty. If I lived in Tucson, I'd be back for sure because the staff was friendly and the value can't be beat.

Risa T.

Tried this place when my boyfriend's co worker recommended we should go here. Our server was very friendly. And the food is delicious! We got the deep dish pizza, wings, a salad and got some cookies before we left. The portion is huge! We were not disappointed.

Chanel G.

THE BREAD. Omgggggggg. Excuse I'm still drooling from their hot and spicy sticks. It's like dough that's been twisted around this delicious sauce. Oh my! I can't lie, I have yet to have the pizza there yet. I'm just not a deep dish fan. But I have had their wings, another specialty. They're pretty good. They have a nice little crisp to them, not like they've been coated in a heavy batter, but enough to give it that extra crunch. I have no spice tolerance so I opted for the mildest wing sauce that wasn't barbecue. This place is pretty small and it can get packed. Also, they're closed on Sundays!

Amber M.

We were first time customers. Great service, food was delicious. Will definitely be back again

Mary M.

Good service, good beer, good pizza... And amazing wings! Couldn't ask for more. Love this place, will bring friends and family from out of town to this place.

Roy R.

I've been coming here since my freshman year in high school in 2009 and let me say this place hasn't changed at all. The wings are still AWESOME and the deep dish pizza is absolutely to DIE for!! Countless times through the years and this place has never left me sad faced. Everyone in tucson needs to try roccos!!

Mindy S.

I can't believe I slacked so long on this one!!! Rocco's is one of the best restaurants in Tucson, period. Unpretentious without being filthy or sketchy, they hit the nail on the head every time. I love the pesto pasta, cheesy garlic bread & the thin crust pizza! There's another pizza (stuffed, I think?) that is INCREDIBLE, but I resent it for punking me out more than once. I pride myself on being able to take down an entire pizza (with grace and ease, of course), and the size small kicked my a$$. Most importantly, they kill it on the little things. The salad dressing. The soups. The fried ravioli. It's not like some other places in town which have great pizza & nasty pre-made salads and dressing straight off of the Sysco truck. They care about the quality of everything they make and it shows. I love you, Rocco's - never change!!!

Erika M.

O-M-G. The pizza here was Ahhhh-mazing. We ordered the Big Bad Wolf Chicago style with pepperoni, ham, sausage, and bacon. Everything was perfect about it, although I have never had Chicago deep dish before, so I do not have any point of comparison. Nonetheless, this was delicious beyond words. We also had the savory fried ravioli. I love fried ravioli and this is one of the best I have had. It wasn't too oily and even though we ordered take out, they were still crispy and tasty when we got it back to the hotel. We also ordered both the bread sticks and the spicy hot sticks. Both were good. I especially liked the spicy hot sticks; they had the perfect amount of spice to it, and it wasn't so mild that you couldn't feel the heat. We ordered to go and ended up waiting for over an hour, even though they quoted us at 30 to 40 minutes. However, all is forgiven because it was extremely busy and once we got the food, it was so, so good. I would probably recommend just calling in the order if you know you will be eating here because it smells so amazing in the restaurant that it's such a tease!

Paul E.

Oh Rocco's! You are a little slice of Little Chi-town fo sho!! I would highly recommend the Big Bad Wolf deep dish! A lovely mix of a pie consisting of sausage, pepperoni, ham, and bacon...say WhAt?!?!?! I actually took a small pie to go and when they handed it to me I swear it weighed about 5 lbs. and packed enough flavor to fill a MAC truck! The crust was deliciously crispy, the cheese was creamy and flowing all over the place, and as for the 3 pigs....well let just say after two slices (I couldn't stop at one...don't judge me) they fitted comfortably in my belly.

Brian H.

I've heard from people how good this place was. My brother previously brought some home and I gave it a try, but was a little unimpressed. Probably because it was reheated. I took my cousin while he was in town to give it a shot. It's a nice, quiet place. The radio played some classic rock and there were assorted Chicago things everywhere. The servers were great. We ordered a Large Deep Dish Big Bad Wolf and some cheesy garlic bread with marinara. The bread was fantastic and the marinara was even better. But the pizza...oh, the pizza. This was, by a long way, the BEST pizza I've ever eaten. The cheese was super fresh. The sauce was, somehow, better than the sauce for the garlic bread. The toppings just threw everything over the top. I cannot wait to go back again, and I will absolutely be back again.

Kimberly R.

If I lived in Tucson I would be here weekly! Visiting my sister and we always make a special trip to have Pizza, wings and mostly importantly, HOT STICKS! The pizza is deep dish. I'm from new Jersey, so I'm not a huge Chicago style pizza fan. But, it is super fresh with great flavor combos! I tried the mushroom. It was really delicious! But, by far the best thing on the menu is the Hot Sticks! I'm a huge bread eater, and I love spicy foods! These sticks are everything I love! They bring you some ranch to cool your mouth off a bit. Yummy! The wait staff is excellent! There are only a few inside big booths, so plan your arrival accordingly. They do have a great bar while you wait for a seat.

Jenni L.

Rocco's is a great little pizza joint and very family friendly. I tried the deep dish Kitchen Sink pizza and it was fabulous! Also happy with their large beer selection, you can't enjoy a pizza without beer! Went there for dinner with my husband and toddler, we were sat right away and offered a high chair, crayons, and a kids drinking cup.

DA M.

The raviolis are a must try. The wings were also some of the best in town... Perfectly crisp yet not too crispy. And of course the pizza is highly recommended. I enjoyed the happy hour that lasts until 9pm in their outdoor patio.

Francisco L.

The pizza here is definitely a winner. we sampled both the thin and deep dish pizzas and both are excellent. You will be able to taste all the ingredients in the pizza. it was a great experience to get hit by the flavor of the sauce, then the meats, the cheese and the dough. I was very pleased with the food. The fettuccine Alfredo was very good too. we had the portabello and the chicken, both has a flavorful sauce and the pasta was just right. It would have not been complete without some wings. We had the Hot flavor and it is not so hot that you will be diving into your glass of water, just the right amount of heat and then flavor town. The owner had recommended the Bloody Mary and it did not disappoint, I would just suggest you ask for easy on the ice. The place was packed and we had to wait about 15 min for a table (not bad at all, plus the Bloody Mary did the entertaining). You could see that the staff was taxed with a full restaurant, but they were cool. they gave us good service and once we sat, the food arrived promptly. Big kudos to the staff.

Joe R.

Awesome food!! The pizza and wings are crazy good :)! The service not good. I suggest you get the take out. Cheers Joe

Tiffany S.

In the mood for some really good pizza and you not wanting the ordinary go to Little Rocco's Chicago, it's great pizza delicious salads and their wings are definitely ones that you might want to try. Being located centrally on Broadway it's pretty easy to find the parking isn't so great and the actual size of the building is kind of small but they do have booths and outdoor seating, The waitresses are very friendly and quick and attentive, one of the best salads I've had in town always really fresh greens and dressings are very tasteful. Now the pizza is excellent always made fresh to order, it's a little crispy but yet still soft enough for you to enjoy, fresh ingredients always make for the best, and if you're lucky enough to go during lunch hours they have an excellent lunch menu you could order a slice and a salad or a slice and wings all for under nine dollars, I was pleased to find out that they sell the sauce that they use on the wings. By far one of the best deep dish pizzas I've had in town.

Brandon W.

Took the wife here the other day. We had a deep dish kitchen sink and it was out of this world. I used to always eat at zacherys downtown before they closed and thought it was the best deep dish in town. Roccos takes the cake, plus they have some tasty wings. Our server was mediocre at best, but our food came out in a timely matter and everything was better than my expectations

Johnny C.

Let's talk pizza. More specifically, let's talk deep dish Chicago pizza. My favorite kind of pizza pie. You know a place that serves up a good slice? When my old go-to Zachary's closed its doors, I was left looking for a new place for deep dish. That's where Rocco's came in. They serve up a delicious deep dish pizza. The crust is just the right thickness to hold the cheese and toppings without breaking apart. The sauce goes over all of it but isn't too messy. Great pizza. The other item that's a must try are the hot wings. Their 'hot' flavor actually has a hot kick to it, thank goodness. (Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine when 'hot' flavored wings have no spice to them.) They are perfectly cooked to be crispy on the outside but juicy and not at all dry meat inside. They also have some of the best lunch deal specials in town. So if you love your deep dish pizza and a tasty plate of wings, definitely stop in to Rocco's. Just a heads-up, Rocco's is not a big place and during dinner there can be a wait to be seated, but it's worth the wait. Friendly staff and good beer selection

Shauna Q.

I love Rocco's but hadn't been there in years. I went yesterday for lunch and ordered a lunch special - salad and a slice for $7.99. The salad is way better than anyone else's house salad. It has tangy sun dried tomatoes and dried kalamata olives, which I don't even like, but I love them on this salad! The pizza is really unlike any others in Tucson. The sauce is authentic and home made and served ON TOP of the cheese. Trust me, it works. The piece is rectangular and really results in two pieces. I had to take one half home. It can be a little pricey for a full pizza but that can be expected for REAL pizza in this town. The servers are friendly and helpful but can be a little inconsistent. They also added a bar for more seating, which is awesome since they get packed for lunch. I just told my husband next time he's on that side of town, bring home a whole Rocco's pizza!

Ana A.

The chicken wings, are hands down the best I've ever had! They are crispy, spicy, and super delicious! Pizza is good, but not my favorite. Salads, and pastas are very good. Service is not very friendly, but they get the food out to you promptly.

Katrina P.

I cannot get enough of their wings! Got the homemade bbq wings and kitchen sink deep dish pizza. Wings to die for and pizza is my new favorite in tucson! Taste is so fresh and not too greasy. I love the amount of sauce they put on (might be too much for those who don't like saucy pizza.) Will be coming back more often!

Kerry H.

Oh, Rocco's, how I love thee. I have been going to Rocco's for many years now, and it is one of the few restaurants my husband and I can always agree upon. I have never had a bad meal here, and it is worth the wait. Their house salads are outstanding, and though I don't often order ranch when out to eat, it is my default dressing selection at Rocco's. It is simply too good to pass up (however, I will also vouch for their vinaigrette--lots of herbs and very flavorful, yet not overpowering). Rocco's frequently tops lists of the best restaurants in town for wings, and they have certainly earned that honor; their wings are exceptional, cooked perfectly and bathed in delicious sauces. My friends love the hot sticks, though I'd personally go for the cheesy garlic bread over them--it is SO good...that, salad, and some wings is easily a meal for two. I often order their pasta specials, the Florentine ravioli is phenomenal, and you can't beat their deep dish pizzas (the veggie is fantastic!). Be prepared for garlic (a plus in my eyes). Based on my samplings, thin crust is also very tasty if that's your preference and want something not as heavy. You really cannot go wrong. Plus, they just keep getting better--service has dramatically improved since my earliest visits from quite mediocre to very good. Orders are taken quickly, empty beverages are typically addressed promptly, and salads are out fast. They recently updated the interior, and they have added draft beer and a cocktail menu (still need to sample those). All of this, and at reasonable prices to boot! Don't forget to ask for a "repeat offender" card, as you can earn discounts on future visits. This review was long overdue--thanks for many wonderful meals, and I look forward to many, many more!!

Howard D.

This is the best deep dish in Az. I like the kitchen sink (a supreme pizza). The ass burners are amazing. They come in hot or sweet and are a bread stick. You should go here if you are a pizza nut and like deep dish. I have driven 2 hours to eat here and it is worth it. I go here several times a year. It is a world class pizza. They would make it in Chicago. It would even compete with Geno's east or Giordano's. It is that good.

Robert M.

I had the pleasure of eating there deep dish, stuffed crust, Chicago style pizza. It was very good for AZ. I would eat there again.

Amanda T.

I am a pizza fanatic and Rocco's is the best pizza I have ever had in my entire life. I have moved away from Arizona and this pizza may be one of the things I miss the most! It's the first thing I eat when I return home. Crust is perfection! Wings are delicious.

Laura R.

This was great deep dish pizza. We ordered 2, a pepperoni and veggie plus chicken wings and fried mushrooms. I would definitely go again when I visit AZ. It was so delicious. The beer was refreshing.

Sarah N.

Shared an antipasto and a deep dish pizza with my honey. Food was aweaome. The meats, cheese and veggies in the antipasto were fresh and tasty. The crust in the pizza was a little crispy on the outside yet still soft. All in all a wonderful experience. We even came in about an hour before they closed and the service was friendly. (We left before close, as a fellow server I know how uncool it is to hangout on a place after they've closed) The leftover pizza was even great after a few days. Will be back!

Josh A.

It is really hard to go here and not get a pizza. I mean let's face it their pizza is the best in Tucson, even if "chicago style" isn't your thing, it will be once you eat here. Sometimes it is wing night and you have to eat wings instead of pizza, or with pizza or whatever, but as good as the pizza is, giving up some of it for wings doesn't seem like a punishment. Some days you want a sandwich, and the chicago beef is great, but the U505 is amazing! Don't get me started on the pasta! I don't think words can describe how amazing this place is.

Henry B.

Second time this has happened. Two people severed and none of the employees acknowledged me. Good pizza but it's not worth it.

Victoria C.

The good: pizza was actually pretty good The bad: could have been a bit cleaner. Some of the other guests, which appeared to be regulars, made me a but nervous. The ugly: the beers we ordered were skunked, one of the employees reminded us of a certain Silence of the Lambs character and the other male cook did a great job in quality control by sampling, with his bare hands, from customers plates in the kitchen. At least buffalo bob had gloves and a hairnet and our server was clean and very hard working. Unfortunately the pizza was neither good enough nor cheap enough to make up for the disgusting actions of the cook.

Christopher K.

My friend and I ordered a deep dish and a thin crust pizza and it tasted great. The customer service was good as well!

Taylor M.

Went back again and got sick from eating here and this was after seeing a bad review from the health department.., ouch.

Dennis B.

Great atmosphere and even better food! Wings were excellent, pizza was awesome. Overall a great experience!

David B.

If you're looking for thick Chicago style pizza, this is a great place. We really enjoyed the meat pizza we got here. Unfortunately the pasta dish we ordered was very disappointing. It was the daily special advertised as having a "rich cream sauce," but it was neither rich nor creamy. In fact, I wouldn't even call it a sauce; it was more of a broth. Fortunately our waiter was very gracious about it and didn't charge us for it. And the pizza was so huge that it ended up being plenty of food for all of us. One very important consideration to keep in mind is that Wednesday is wing night, and they were jam packed and very busy. Our waiter tried to keep up but just couldn't give us the kind of attention I would have liked. But it's hard to blame him considering how much work he had on his hands. Next time, I'll know better than to go on a Wednesday.

Nate S.

REAL CHICAGO style pizza... I've got to say this is the best since I went to university in Illinois. Recommended by our neighbors (native Chi-towners), this is definitely the best in Tucson. A few others here rank high on my hit list, but if it's pizza day, Rocco's is the place! Tried the wings, fried ravioli and Deep dish Kitchen Sink pizza-- Homemade BBQ sauce and Real cheese makes the difference. Mmm, good!

Brad H.

OK, I'm eating my pizza as I type this in between bites. Holy Kawasaki this is good stuff. Completely night and day compared to the last one I had there. I'm so glad I gave this place a second chance. I ordered the Kitchen Sink stuffed pizza again. (Sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, green pepper, red onion.) This time, after speaking with Rocco himself on the phone describing it to me, it was a stuffed pizza. (The last one I received was a deep dish.) And boy, is it stuffed! I read my previous review and it mentioned too much mozzerella. This one is just right. Also, the last time had way too much garlic. This one is delicious! The crust is excellent, too. This is a small, I'm on my second piece, and already I'm slowing down. I usually can put down quite a few pieces of "regular" pizza. This one is rich and full of toppings (or should I say "stuffings?"). I guess last time they had an off day or someone new in the kitchen or something. But tonight? Wow, hit it out of the (Chicago) ball park! This is now one of my favorite pizza's in town. Good job, guys.

Jennifer L.

I am originally from Illinois and appreciate a good thin crust pie. Rocco's did not disappoint! We had the kitchen sink pie and it was amazing. The sausage was authentic as I could taste the fennel, the crust was crunchy and the sauce was on point. I would highly recommend Rocco's and will be back next time I am in Tucson

Panama R.

I consider myself a pizza snob. We Ordered the big bad wolf thin crust. Lots of meat. Good quality meat. Excellent sausage. Pizza was all about the toppings and toppings were real good. Crust and sauce were not bad but this pizza is all about the toppings. Negatives were pizza took a long long time to come out (it was hot) & the pizza was not cut all the way through so we had to saw through a thin crust with butter knives. while I don't mind paying for quality, I don't love paying $25 for a pizza. But it was very good.

Mike Q.

Killer wings and great deep dish. If you enjoy deep dish, you will love Rocco's. If you're there on a date, a suggestion: get the smallest size pizza or you will be totally stuffed.

Don V.

Met up here for a friend's birthday dinner last night, didn't really know what to expect but cheap 35 cent wings. I rushed down after my spin class - to find myself waiting 2 hours for a table!! If it hadn't been for my friends wanting to dine here, I would have left within minutes of waiting. Granted we did have a big group (14 people) but they could have been more organized. What made my blood boil is that people with groups of 4 or less were seated within minutes of going in. -_- Finally we got a table outside on the patio, now we had to deal with a very rude waiter! OMG really! Could this night get any worse? Man 0 Man this guy was so mean! Pretty much every person was scared to ask him for anything. He made it very uncomfortable. The food was GREAT! Wait - Don't quote me on that. Everything tastes delicious if you haven't eaten for 8 or so hours. I was so hungry I must have devoured about 30 + wings within minutes.. Lol, but who's counting?!? ^_^ All and all the service hit rock bottom and the food was good. Note to self: Next time come back with a smaller group. 4 max!

Brittney C.

Love it here! The only aspect that needs improvement is the service, its usually very slow, but that won't keep me from coming back. Hands down the best wings I have ever had, and the hot sicks are an awesome invention on their part!

Lisette C.

This is hands down the best pizza I've ever had in my life. I've lived in Tucson for the past three years and unfortunately I'm moving this summer. I can totally say that I'm going to miss this place so much. I come here about every two weeks. I usually get their house salad and a couple of wings to go. Their pizza is what we call in the south "off the chain", it's absolutely incredible. Get ready to cancel your plans for the rest of the night because it is very rich and heavy in the tummy. I usually try to go with a bunch of friends so that I don't get so full. Their lunch specials are great because you can get a drink, salad and a large slice of deep dish pizza. I really wish that there were more staff since they are usually very rushed, it makes me a little anxious.

Christine W.

They do have good pizza, worth a shot. Not thrilled with the pasta dishes but judging by their ratings it's more of a personal taste on my end. ;) Cute atmosphere but seems to be neglected on cleanliness. What ended it for me though is when they brought politics into their restaurant. They probably made money off of the publicity and makes me wonder their integrity and character. I can find pizza just as good somewhere else.

William K.

I ordered the stuffed heart attack pizza and an order of wings both were phenomenal. The service was good but it didn't blow me away, if the service was a bit better I would have given five stars.

Aisha R.

Husband had the spaghetti with (homemade meatballs). I had the spinach ravioli with (homemade) meatballs. Everything was DELICIOUS. Everything was clearly made from scratch with love. Yuuuuuuuum!!!! Upon the recommendation of the absolute most friendliest take out waitress, we ordered the "half" instead of the "full" meal order even though we were both hungry. The orders came with bread and we also added side salads. The meal was very filling. The side salads were also fresh and delicious. Just on a whim, we decided to get one chocolate chip with walnuts cookie. Oh. My. Goodness. The cookie was life changing. The entire meal was $22. Best $22 I've spent on food in a long time! Get in to Rocco's....you won't regret it!

I recently ate at roccos, I thought it was overall good. The food is delicous the pie wasn't that hot though like it was sitting for just a bit the service that I had wasn't the best the waitress seemed out of it and at times annoyed. But the food tasted excellent and the hostess made up for the burnt out waitress.

Megan M.

It was good service a little slow, a different waitress had to give us our to go boxes. Calzone was good everyone loved the deep dish. For sure will be back!

This review is strictly for their vegan options. They have vegan deep dish pizza and it is sooooo good! It comes with green bell peppers, portabella mushrooms, garlic, and I can't remember what else but god the crust is soooo good. Apparently they will make their garlic bread vegan for you and they also have vegan breadsticks although I haven't tried either. I've been living off their pizza lately :)

Lots and lots of hype (from friends, family and fellow Yelpers) so had to give it a try. Well that, and I got a gift certificate. I'm not a pizza fan so I'm going to base much of this review on my husband's opinion (he could eat it every day). Place is small, great patio, clean bathrooms. Service was friendly and capable (well right up to end when it came time to pay). Ordered medium wings, extra crispy (greasy but nicely flavored), a Caesar (rich on the eggs but decent nonetheless) and a 9inch deep dish with custom toppings. I just wasn't into the pizza but my husband said he really liked it, especially the chunky, very garlicky sauce. We had a cookie (highly recommended) but didn't find them to be anything special. We go to pay at the counter and I was given my total. She had forgotten to subtract my gift certificate so I had to point it out. We also had a $5 coupon but she would not honor since I was using another "coupon". Isn't a gift certificate considered cash and not a coupon??? I tried to explain that but...whatever. Paid and threw the coupon out as we probably won't ever have a use for it now.

Pizza = AWESOME this place rocks, salads are fantastic, prices are fair, service was great, it's a small location and it was packed but the patio area was nice. It's not typical pizza, it's not round, it's not greasy, you really need to try this place to appreciate it.

Vin B.

The food was great! The wings and pizza were awesome! The service.... not so good. Some young girl that seats people was very rude and our server had a little attitude, she made us feel as if we were bothering her. Otherwise, overall as I mentioned, the food was great!

Eric K.

Best chicago style pizza I have had in tucson, reminds me of being back home in chicago, even the atmosphere is like what I grew up with in the 80's in chicago!

Barnum G.

I had a small Caesar salad to start. It was a decent size, however the lettuce was absolutely doused in dressing. The croutons were very good and homemade. My husband and I then shared a Heart Attack pizza. It is a very hearty, meaty pie. It was very good. We brought half of the pie home. Don't forget the 1/4 lb. cookies!

Tory H.

I drive past here every day and always get a chuckle out of the witty posts on their sign. The deep dish pizza was fantastic. It is hearty and has great flavor. I'm very picky about sauce, and this one was very good. Don't waste your carbs on the bread sticks.

My thirty-one year search for good pizza in AZ has come to an end. First visit was simply to support the owner's stand against an anti-gay/lesbian bill being considered by the state legislature. I drove about thirteen miles to show my support and ordered a pizza knowing nothing about the place. Ordered a small, thin crust pepperoni pizza. I moved to AZ from MN thirty-one years ago and never had pizza like I loved in Rochester, MN. LOVE the crust and generous toppings on my Rocco's pizza. Excellent cheese and tomato sauce, terrific pepperoni. It's a considerably long drive from my home to Rocco's, but I LOVE the pizza. Five star rating from me if the servers were a little more friendly, but they are always very busy when I'm in there. Still, a smile takes no effort.

KJ o.

(+) the very best vegan deep dish i have ever eaten hands down. the rocco's heavy veggie is unquestionably superior to all other vegan pizza in town. and i always appreciate the clever signage. (-) closed on sundays (good for the employees, bad for me)

Matt P.

A little pricey if you want a whole pie, but I usually can't eat more than a few slices anyway so I often go in for lunch. The lunch specials are awesome and on wednesdays I believe they have 25 cent wings. Soups and desserts are always good.

Mike M.

Best pizza in Tucson hands down. Great service and great prices. Go for the lunch special or wings night! Love me some Rocco's!!!

Sylvian F.

pretty darn good pizza. highly unlikely you will find better in Tucson.

Kyle S.

Let me start by getting right to the point. The food is amazing. The service... Not so much. My fiancé and I just left from our first time visiting Rocco's. Good: - We started with their mild chicken wings. They were amazing. I would have preferred more heat, but my fiancé won out. The use a nice vinegar based sauce. The wings were steaming, juicy and tender. - Next we got a 9" deep dish (enough for two, easily) with cheese, house sauce, green peppers and Italian sausage. Again, amazing. The crust was soft and chewy with a crisp outside. Not soggy at all. It was extremely filling. A good leftovers lunch. Bad: - The service is terrible. The hostess is barely there to seat you. The only reason we were sat quickly is because it was just the two of us. Our server took forever to take our order or drop off out drinks. We didn't mind the wait for the food, once ordered, as it was very busy. Once our pizza arrived we didn't get plates for a good 5-10 mins afterwords. Finally our server say my fiancé's not happy face and got them. - The restaurant is dirty. Like almost filthy. I know hole in the wall places can be run down, but the was not good. The air filter was caked in dust and grime. The floors and by the checkout had an inch if dust and more on it. Ew. Final thought points: - This place is ttiinnyy. - Get the food for takeout. - Prepare for a wait. Overall I'll get the food again, but for take out only. The service and establishment are subpar.

Awe man, I TOTALLY miss Rocco's Little Chicago!!! I used to frequent this amazing little place over the 4 years I lived in Tucson; and 3 years after I've moved...I STILL fantasize hardcore about their extra crispy wings, their fabulously simple yet perfect pizza and their insane-o awesome off-the-menu Buffalo Chicken Cesar salad...MMMM thank you Dane!!! Great daily bottle beer selection as well...very random and always fun to try something new. :) Love the sign out front too, always very entertaining.

Bethany E.

BEST PIZZA IN TUCSON. I don't care what the Pizza Madness bracket results yielded; Rocco's has the best pizza in Tucson and some of the best I've had anywhere. I don't usually even like deep dish pizza, but they have it down to an art form. There's a lot of hullaballoo about their chicken wings, too, but I think you can get better chicken wings elsewhere. Also, I'm not a big fan of their caesar salad. To me, the dressing tasted bland (I like a little anchovy kick), and the chicken was cold and dried out and had a rubbery texture. Definitely go for the pizza (duh). Also, the pasta salad is so freaking delicious. Trust me on this. The spicy sticks are also great, they're kind of like buffalo breadsticks. I've been told they have good cookies too, but I have yet to try for myself. I like that you can sit on the patio or inside. Sometimes the place gets really busy, so food will take longer to come out and your refills might be a little slower, but the servers are always very friendly and knowledgeable. Check out this gem.

Dena J.

THE SERVICE WAS AWFUL! As an out-of-towner, I really trust Yelp and the reviewers who live nearby and love certain neighborhood places. I scoured Yelp for the perfect pizza for our limited time in Tucson - finally choosing Rocco's. I knew it was small, I knew it had limited seating and I knew that folks said the pizza is terrific. How can you possibly suck all the joy out of pizza and hot wings? From the moment we walked in the door, the service, largely comprised of completely disaffected employees, was AWFUL! Not a smile, not a hello, not a word or a glance. I really should have insisted that we walk right out the door - and god help me, head directly to Pizza Hut. And what really gets me is that my complaint was not really about the wait staff or the five or so guys in the kitchen, but rather with management who clearly rests on the laurels of decent food at the expense of excellent customer service. When chicken sits on the counter for 10 minutes wading in oily sauce, people get sick. When pizza sits on the counter for even longer, getting cold and rubbery, the customer is better off with a take-and-bake pizza from Costco. I am a firm believer in good, strong tipping and I left nothing. We finally took the pizza to go, but not before such a bad taste in my mouth. Like I answered to the incredibly unfriendly hostess when she asked me how everything went - you don't want me to answer that question. A few days later, I found out that Rocco's was in the running for best pizza in Tucson and was in the lead. I hope any recognition from the community is rewarded with a customer service come to Jesus with the staff.

Nick R.

To be honest, the main reason we went to Rocco's was because of their public stand against the insane AZ HB1062. The fact that they serve amazing pizza was a very welcome bonus! The house salads were excellent, as were the cheesy bread sticks. We ordered the deep dish pizza, which was beyond delicious. We will definitely return again!

Stephanie S.

Great pizza, yummy cheesy garlic bread, decent wings, and cute little patio -- what more could a girl want from the neighborhood pizza joint? The only reason I limited this place to four stars is because I can never pop in and out -- there is always a line (and resulting 30 minute min. wait) and the food takes a while once an order is placed, but I guess those are probably good things, huh? My favorite order is "the kitchen sink" -- that's Rocco's delicious version of the supreme, with loads of pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, mushrooms, and onions. Yum! Keep on rocking Roccos!

Agustin O.

Lunch specials are awesome. Service is ok, it depends on whom you get as a server. I have always had a good time with friends and co-workers. They have outside seating but it sucks when they don't notice you came in.

Chris H.

It was a sad day when Z's closed, but Rocco's has eased the pain. Awesome deep dish Chicago-style pies and a few craft beers on draft (and Schlitz, too, in the bottle if that's your style). Had the Chicago Fire with fresh jalapeños and sausage and the jalapeños were...nice. I'm now intrigued by the wings which, according to the staff's shirts, are "hotter than your sister". Good s..tuff.

Raymond S.

I'd been wanting to try Rocco"s for the longest time, as I love deep dish pizza. I walked in about 3:30 in the afternoon and told the woman at the counter it was my first visit. She promptly sat me down and handed me a menu, taking time to point out the lunch specials that were available until 4. When the waitress came by I tried to order one of the lunch specials, and this is where the problem started. She told me, "Oh those are only available until 4." I told her it wasn't even 3:45 yet, and her snippy reply was, "well, we set our clocks fast." If the lunch deals are only available until 3:45 the menu should reflect that, especially since the woman who seated me took the time to point them out. I ended up ordering a pizza. It was ok, but my overall experience was not pleasant.

Greg K.

Brilliant. Wonderful. Delicious.

Brett K.

The single best pie I've eaten outside of Chicago. It's made just like I like it back home: no frills. Pizza is basic, heavy deep dish, and it's extraordinarily tasty. Chicken wings aren't bad either, but I came for the pizza and thus could care less about some silly little bits of boney chicken. The service is nothing special, but you know what? Service ain't great in Chicago, either. Go here for the pizza. The absolute best in Tucson.

Marina M.

The deep dish pizza here is FABULOUS. Every chew is accompanied by an obnoxious "mmmm" noise from me. The sauce is delicious and the toppings are generous. And with the pizza being deep-dish and all, it's a lot of cheese. One slice is a meal-huge portions! The wings are amazing as well. The sauce they come with is not your typical bottled hot sauce. It seems like a homemade-type sauce that come with the wings. My only pet peeve is that the wings that you get on wing nights (Wednesdays) are not the same. They seem to use lesser quality wings when they're discounted. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid??? I have entered Rocco's obnoxiously close to closing time and the servers have been so nice about it. I try to avoid doing this but it's nice to not get the stink eye for it. I love the restrooms. Very busy walls to keep you...umm busy while you're doing your thing. Rocco's rocks (alliteration completely intended).

Jessica G.

Decent service, decent food, decent prices. Nothing spectacular really but I'm also not a huge Chicago style fan (however- Zachary's was THE place for it when it was around). The service was really slow, both for eat in and take out (the only two times I visited). It took over 40 minutes for us to get our food both times. The wings were average too- it's been awhile since I've had such a "meh" experience and this one did it twice! So I'll keep on eating around.

Trevor C.

Fantastic little spot! Feels very authentic and the food delivers. Went here on the weekend after craving some real Chi-town style deep dish. Had a little rocky start with the server, but she turned out to be really nice. I would say don't expect five star service here, expect it to be more like your extended family is serving you. It's not going to be perfect, but it's not for lack of trying. Started off with a great Caesar salad, dressing made from scratch with real raw eggs, it was the best Caesar I've had in quite some time. No anchovies on top, but when I asked they brought plenty. My buddy ordered the "Ass-Burner" hot wings. Less than ass burning and a lot of very thick sauce. Probably the only thing we had that was less than par. Pie came out in a very reasonable time and was sooooooo good. Great crust, gooey cheese, toppings piled on. I'm salivating just thinking about it. Tip... They have designer Jello shots for just one dollar! Try a bunch, they are so good and innovative.

Amanda B.

Okay. I really love this food here. Food - 4.5 stars. Service - 2. It takes forever to eat here. I mean forever. Plan on an hour and a half if you are doing deep dish. Its a little ridiculous. The wings here are awesome, but the last time, there was not nearly enough sauce and a little too much grease. I am hoping it was a bad day, as I have been there before and had great wings. I have had deep dish and the thin crust. I actually prefer the thin here. But, I find it hard to not like any pizza anywhere. So, I am not very picky. The cookies at the counter are huge and wonderful as well. Go here for some good food, but expect service to take forever.

Reese S.

The pizza here is awesome!! Its always busy here. You may have to wait on a table. So its better to call ahead and get it to go. The cookies are Huge!!

Stephanie G.

Get the spaghetti with meatballs...tasty

Tahiti C.

Great deep dish pizza! Very small place with more seating outdoors on patio than inside. Plenty of seats when we got there about 6pm. By 6:30 it was packed. Waiting line when we left so go early!

Ed A.

I need my deep dish pepperoni 'fix' here at least once a month! The subtle tangy spices, including garlic, are melded into a ton of delicious cheese and meat that merges right into the crust, making that delicious too! The shaded and screened outdoor dining area is too hot during the summer months making the small indoor area "standing room only." The booths are large enough for 4 or 6, though. Friendly but hyper-busy waitresses. New long marble countertop for single diners. I really gotta try their wings one of these days, I hear they're really good!

Carlos B.

Really awesome food. Can't recommend the wings enough. Also they have some great lunch specials. With the recent remodel and new bar it's added a nice touch. Don't forget to get one of their to die for cookies

Gabriel W.

Seen so many rave reviews for this place, and I've really been wanting to try it for a long time. It seems so hard to find good Chicago style pizza outside of Chicago...this place offers a very good pie, but I think next time I may have to go for the wings. I ordered a large veggie deep dish. Large is only 12 inches, and a small is 8. Considering the prices, these seem like really small sizes. I mean, yeah, 2 slices is more than a filling meal, but still...compared to Zachary's, for instance, you're paying almost twice as much for a pizza two inches smaller in diameter. I dunno, just doesn't make much sense to me. The veggies on this pie are fantastic, though. These are some seriously properly cooked vegetables and they seem to have a light balsamic flavor or something. I kinda wish I had just stuck with the pie for my order here, because it was very good. I did, however, also order some hot sticks and got some blue cheese on the side. I was kinda excited for the sticks because a number of previous reviewers mentioned how good they were. Well, they are definitely REALLY hot. I may go as far as to say too hot for my taste in what they are. I might like such a spicy wing sauce on actual wings, but this was a lingering heat that really couldn't be cooled down easily and I didnt find the dish all that appetizing. It may have been better received by me if the blue cheese it came with did ANYTHING to reduce the heat, but alas, no. The blue cheese dressing, I was excited to see come in a quantity FAR in excess of what was necessary for my order. I could have drenched the entire pizza in it, eaten the entire order of hot sticks using it for dipping, and then had leftover for salads for a week. Nice chunks of blue cheese could be found throughout, and this was also decipherable as a homemade blue cheese dressing by a few other colors/flavors found within. I was particularly interested in comparing their take to Zachary's, which in my opinion has the best blue cheese dressing ever. Well, the title stays with Zachary's...by a LONG shot. Rocco's basically tasted like watered down sour cream. The blue cheese chunks were not very strong, and had not melded with the rest of the dressing at all. So look, the pizza was good...and thats what the place is known for. But all the other aspects of the meal were sub-par to say the least. With all the hype, I wound up rather disappointed in my experience. I would definitely like to try a wing Wednesday sometime though...and maybe I'll order them with ranch.

Kevin C.

Wow! Ate there for the first time after following the Pizza bracket in the paper. We are new to Tucson and have been trying a number of the different pizza places and this is now our favorite. We ordered both the thin and the Chicago style. Also ordered single salads which were huge! You can definitely share the salad between two. I liked both pizzas, but the Chicago style is definitely the reason I have this as the best pizza in Tucson.

Corey D.

So take-out may not be their specialty, at least the recent order I picked up, but the place is a great reminder of home... Chicago... and for me that deserves 5 stars time and time again! I tend to stick to my "usual," but recently I've been shaking it up with their medium wings. Meaty, just the right amount of spice, and a zippy little sauce that has complex flavors I can't even describe. Paired with some creamy ranch it's a taste sensation that breaks from the norm of my Italian beef sandwich. I do wish you could mix flavors in an order, but I get that there aren't wing elves swiftly prepping multiple batches in the back, they take time, and making 3 BBQ and 3 hot probably doesn't sound like a good time. I'm glad it's convenient, I'm glad the service is prompt, I'm glad they have a map of Illinois, and I'm glad they have big ass cookies every-time I go. The day they're all out? Well that's the day I move back to Chicago!

Jesus M.

MAN!!! I miss Rocco's! I moved away from Tucson back in 2008 and I haven't had it since then! If you are looking for a mom and pop restaurant (literally) I would strongly suggest coming here! I have not been here since back in 08, but back then they used to have 25 cent wings every Wednesdays (dine in only). I do have to warn you though you probably have to wait at least 35 to 50 minutes to be seated depending on the time you go. It also has outside seating, which is always pretty full as well. This would have to be the best wing place I have tried not only in Tucson, but period. It is not pricy at all. They also have great garlic cheesy bread as an appetizer. I tried the pizza ones and it was also amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a great authentic pizza and wings, and I cannot wait until the end of the month when I am back in town!

Shannon J.

Love it! The deep dish pizza is amazing!

Jeff S.

Love it!

Denise R.

I'm giving this place a two star rating and here's why... While I really thought the food was very good from the fried ravioli to the yummy Angry Samoan pizza and the yummy cheesecake we had for dessert, I have to say on the down side, this restaurant was absolutely FILTHY!!! I was so grossed out it made it hard for me to enjoy the delicious food. From the dirty tables to the disgusting floors, to the "clean" plate we were brought that was covered in food from its prior user to the cooks adorning their full facial beards (I did see one of the 3 cooks with a hair net at least on his head and prayed he was the one cooking our food lol) to the waiter who I turned to observe in the kitchen with his fingers in his nose area before he grabbed a plate of food, I'm just wondering how this place hasn't been shut down by the health department! At first I thought maybe they had had a rush and we just had the unfortunate luck of coming after it but judging from not only the amount of filth in this place but also from a prior review on here , I now know that's not the case. It's really a shame to since as I stated before, the food is really good but who cares if you can't have faith in the sanitary conditions of the establishment that prepares it.

Paul B.

Best deep dish in Tucson. Period.

Ann L.

I've been dining here since they opened, 16 years ago. Fantastic food! I've never had a bad meal here. I especially love the Fungus Humongous Pizza! The salads, soups, wings and cookies are also fabulous as is everything else I have had here. The food is fresh and made to order, so there may be a wait. Well worth it!!! Plenty of parking for cars and bikes. Well located in the center of town. Shop Local!!!

Pete C.

I've been back here a few times, and I must say the food quality is quite good and is very satisfying. The Italian Beef sandwich is excellent, but it is spicy, so to those who prefer mild fare, you've been warned. I've also tried the Chicago pizza, and since I'm not from Chicago, I can't attest to its authenticity. But I can say it's a tasty meal if you're in the mood for Italian, but want something different. The place is sometimes busy, but the waitstaff seems to be attentive. I had a bad experience the first time I tried this place, but I will say the taste and quality of the food is good and it is consistent.

Gaciel A.

I'm not the biggest fan of deep dish pizza as it feels more like a casserole than a pizza, but I make an exception for Rocco's. The location is a bit small and often busy, but it works for this place. If you haven't tried the wings, do yourself a favor and do! They are nicely spiced and unique in taste. All it takes is a pizza slice, maybe two if you're really hungry and I'm pretty much done for the night. I have no idea if this is authentic, but I recommend it none the less.

Katherine C.

Not only are the food and service excellent,but the ambiance, especially on the covered,misted patio is most enjoyable! We particularly appreciate being able to enter both the front entrance into the main dining room and the back entrance into the patio via wheelchair. We had a great meal there a week ago, enjoying their generous happy hour, which runs from 5 to 9 and features lots of $5 appetizers. We enjoyed the bruchetta, the little pizzas and the fried ravioli and veggies. The basil mojito was refreshing and tasty!

Jonathan B.

There are only a couple of places I will actually get pizza in Tucson. It's deep dish, it's tasty, and I really enjoy it. The lunch special is great, and the salad that comes with it it one of the reasons I go. They used oil cured olives, which are fantastic and it makes Rocco's something just different enough to really make it enjoyable. I don't go often, but each time I go, I have a great time.

Vanessa T.

Best pizza I've ever had! It was super thick with lots of big toppings. I only needed one slice to get full. Everything we got was great which was some sort of garlic pasta, fungus humongous pizza and a dinner salad with ranch. Great homemade ranch. Service was great. Every thing was amazing. Looking forward to coming again.

Tommy T.

Great service, nice people, good food, good prices, a old stand by! Go give them a shot you'll return again and again one of the best at wings! Not the best at pizza in my opinion? But all good

Kristina M.

Awesome food!! Pizza was delicious! Staff was very friendly. I loved the sauce on the pizza and antipasto dish and dressing appetizer was super yummy! First time eating here, will go again.

Jill N.

Yeh. This is definitly the best wing night in Tucson. $0.45 cent wings. with a minimum of 5.. 4 different flavors.. We also ordered a pizza, deep dish.. it was so nicely done. The beer was good, service was not fancy, but very casual, still spot on. It was awesome. We will totally return!!

Sharion K.

Having just moved to AZ from IL, I honestly did not expect deep dish pizza to be on the menu anywhere around here. However, on a quick trip to Tucson my husband and I were in the mood for some pizza we'd never had before and a chain restaurant was not on our list. We saw the great reviews for this place and the pictures were enough for us to give it a try. So we ordered a deep dish pizza with Italian sausage and green peppers, and the medium wings. We ordered to go and brought it back to our hotel room. I was concerned that the 15min drive would land us with cold pizza and soggy wings, but to our surprise the pizza was still piping hot with cheese oozing and the wings were still nice and crispy. As for the taste, the pizza is a bit different from the Chicago deep dish that we've had but it wasn't bad at all. Honestly, it was better than some of the deep dish we've had even in Chicago. The concept was the same, but the crust is a bit softer than we're used to, reminded us of Pizza Hut pan crust. As for the sauce.. The usual deep dish sauce is more tomato like, and this seemed more marinara-ish but it was a good taste. A little salty for our liking, but nothing extreme. They weren't stingy with the meat so that was a plus; could've put more veggies. The wings were some of the best we've had. Definitely a pleasant experience! I'm sure we'll be back to try more.

Ross L.

Tucson has a lot of pizzerias, but genuine Chicago-style pizza is pretty much nonexistent outside of Rocco's. This is the place to go if you are craving that thick, gooey pizza that makes you need a knife and fork. We got a stuffed pizza with garlic and sun-dried tomato -- the small size is enough for 2 people with room to spare. The pizza itself took about 45 minutes -- good thing we called ahead! When it came out, it was hot and fresh. The taste was fantastic, with the slight sweetness of the sauce, the savory taste of the cheeze, and the chewiness of the crust all blending together perfectly. The stuffed pizza is the way to go, with the cheeze running all the way through the crust. The restaurant itself is small, somewhat loud, and a bit on the dirty side. There's an outside patio, which I highly recommend if the weather is good. Service was good as well. If you are in Tucson and want deep dish, this is the place!

Amber P.

This is not a review of the food. Sadly we didn't make it that far: I'm baffled by all the positive reviews for Rocco's. Understandably, they were very busy the Friday night we went in. Approached the very dirty bar area and was told (impolitely) it is not open seating...ok no problem. I've been in the restaurant industry for many, many years. Gave the frazzled hostess our name and asked if we could order a beer while we waited. She poured our beers and then rudely shooed us away when we asked if we should pay, never gave an estimate for when we'd be sat either. ...we waited ...and waited ...they finally called a name, a party that came in after us. Ugh. waited some more to see another gentlemen approach the still dirty bar and be served. I approached the hostess to inquire why he immediately was served, 'bar is open seating...sometimes' We paid our beer tab and left. I'm sure the food would've been good but I'm left feeling upset by their lack of cleanliness and inhospitable employees. Management: if your staff is that weeded, start writing a schedule that is conducive for that amount of patrons.

KaliLilly S.

Getting straight to the point bc there really isn't any other way to go here... Ordered two deep dish pizzas and one thin crust; the fried ravioli, and a house salad with ranch dressing. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! I could taste the yeast in the crust of the deep dish pizzas -- that's how fresh it was!! Fried ravioli - Xlnt! House salad - don't sleep on it!! If you like pizza, you'll love Rocco's!

Jason U.

This is some of the best deep-dish pizza I've ever had, granted I've only had it a handful of times. The crust here is light and flaky, and the 'toppings' were very generous. It was a very good / well-structured deep-dish pizza, all around. Food - The large "stuffed" (veggie) pizza was huge, and very filling. Two ravenous people might be able to finish one; I did eat half, but my guest could stomach only 1/4 of the pie. I wanted to eat more, but it was just too much food. Sauce was tasty, and a little sweet. Service - Everything was done efficiently. I feel obliged to add -- they were very friendly folks. Was nice / felt at home. Thanks.. Re. pizza - would recommend ordering from the menu selections that are noted as having 'extra cheese,' but that's a personal preference. Definitely making sure to order some wings next time, as they are apparently a staple here. Word is that they can be ordered *extra* spicy if you ask the right way.

Cherée E.

I love this place. They have the best wings and deep dish pizza in town, by far. Their hot bbq wings are delicious and full of flavor and heat, which I've found most places miss one or the other. Their Wing Wednesday is a great deal but plan on getting there early or you'll wait sometimes hours for a table. Their deep dish pizzas normally take longer to cook but trust me, it's worth the wait. The only downside to this place is the small space and lack of seating as well as sometimes the waiters/waitresses can be a little unfriendly/unprofessional when they're stressed.

Hugo M.

For some lip smacking real deal deep dish this is a go to destination in Tucson. They have some wonderful menu offings and no matter what you order you can tell it is made with quality and abundance in mind. The beer selection is an eclectic mix of drafts, can or bottle offerings. Give this place a try and I am confident you will be back very soon there after. As a tip don't go if your in a hurry because the deep dishes take awhile to cook. Try to avoid this place prior to any big event at the university and this place can get very packed.

The ingredients at Rocco's are fresh. You can truly taste it in the sauces and toppings. If you are not in the mood for pizza, there are lots of alternatives and specials to choose from, too. The wings are so tasty and the best Caesar salad I've had anywhere. I never leave Tucson without a visit to my favorite pizza place, Rocco's! I even stashed a pizza in my carry-on to bring home to my daughter. Good stuff.

Rocco's has the slowest service ever. If you come here for lunch, regardless of whether you have managed to avoid the rush hour, be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes before you see your food, and maybe another 30 minutes on top of that for your check. The service is always a bit off. I have almost never seen the same waiter/waitress working there. I have eaten at Rocco's numerous times, and I can count the times I felt the service was decent with one hand. But their food is solid. Pizza never disappoints me, and the deep dish is incredible. The house salad with Italian dressing (and maybe an order of chicken) is my go-to lunch option. Food makes everything better, instantly.

Good wings and pizza. Be prepared for super deep dish, huge pies. Casual atmosphere.

Risa T.

Tried this place when my boyfriend's co worker recommended we should go here. Our server was very friendly. And the food is delicious! We got the deep dish pizza, wings, a salad and got some cookies before we left. The portion is huge! We were not disappointed.

With a name like Rocco and claiming Chicago, you better be able to back it up. Unfortunately, this place doesn't. Maybe to the layperson of Tucson this is Chicago pizza, but to Chicago natives it's a "close but no cigar" type of product. I recently moved to Tucson and while craving Chicago pizza after a few weeks, I found this place online. So I went there and gave it a try. My experience started with a wait time that was well over 30 minutes to get a seat. Would have been nice if the person who put my name on the wait list told me that there was outdoor seating available and would have been even better if they didn't seat others who came in after me before me. But I was patient because I wanted to try the pizza. Ordered a deep dish with sausage only. This is the true test of a Chicago pizza. I know some people will claim that you need to go with just cheese pizza so you can taste the dough/sauce/cheese combination, but if you're from Chicago, you don't order a pizza without sausage too. While the pizza wasn't all together horrible, it was not exactly great either. Nor was the service. I waited with an empty pint glass for over 15 minutes before someone noticed and asked if I wanted another beer. When the waiter came back with the beer, I asked about the sauce; was it the same for the thin, deep dish and stuffed pizzas? I was told yes. BIG problem there if he actually knew what he was talking about. Deep dish is traditionally chunky tomato sauce and thin is not. Neither is stuffed. That confirmed that I don't need to go back again since I wasn't a big fan of the sauce on the deep dish. Overall, it is better pizza than Mama's and Dominos but I would not qualify this as true Chicago pizza. Chicago "STYLE" pizza, yes. But they miss the mark on taste and composition. I WAS impressed by the Naked Raygun album cover on the wall which indicated that perhaps Rocco is truly from Chicago since that's a band probably few outside of the die hard 80's punk scene and Chicago natives know about. But, still not enough to raise the rating up to three stars. I'll be back to give it a 2nd chance. Maybe it was just a bad night. But if my 2nd experience is the same as the first, this rating will go down to a one star rating based solely on the fact that it's not a solid representation of Chicago pizza in my opinion.

Andrew A.

I would've probably appreciated Rocco's more if it weren't for all the hype. The pizza was ok. Not Chicago pizza by any means but tasty nonetheless. We actually went because we heard the soups were amazing. Well they didn't really have soup. They had a tomato something or other but that doesn't really count. The Caesar salad was pretty good. A bit over dressed but not bad. Probably my favorite part of our visit was seeing a framed album cover of one of my favorite bands early work. Service was fine. Like I mentioned before, if It hadn't been so built up....or called Chicago pizza..I'd have liked it a bit more.

Nathan S.

Best Chicago pizza we've had in Tucson! Very good crust! The hot wings are great! Crispy, and actually spicy! They have great lunch specials too. We were both very pleased with everything.

Erin B.

After ten years of patronage, I can't believe I haven't reviewed Rocco's yet! Rocco's satisfies my penchant for midwestern gluttony. On occasion, you really just need a super carb attack of a meal and a can of Schlitz to wash it down. The place is no-frills, no fuss, no pretentiousness. Down-to-earth, good food that-speaks-for-itself experience in a fun, casual eatery. For their super-fabulously-filling pizza... Expect tons of sauce, tons of cheese, a thick, chewy deep-dish crust, and toppings galore. After one slice, you're pretty much done for. And then ALL THE LEFT OVERS NOMMM! Award winning wings, the best bleu cheese dressing you'll have in your LIFE, super awesome sammies that will leave you stuffed to the gills, positively scrumptious, buttery, HOMEMADE cookies... All of these delights have made Rocco's a Tucson staple and something I reguarly crave. All of this, yet nothing compares to my insatiable lust for HOT STICKS. Hot sticks are the undeniably sexy pairing of pizza dough, twisted with buffalo wing sauce, baked to golden perfection, and dipped in bleu cheese. (Or ranch. If you're one of those freaks who likes ranch.) One thing to consider, Rocco's is popular. And small. and BUSY. Be prepared to call far in advance for a delivery or pick-up order as this place gets packed during peak business hours. Service is usually very friendly; however, service definitely lags during the lunch and dinner rush. Don't be a dick to your server! They're trying to accommodate their crowd with the limited space they have. Another blemish that I've forgiven is that on occasion, the food can be slightly inconsistent. I experienced this only a couple of times in ten years, so their track record is still pretty good, IMO. Sloppily put together sandwiches or pizza, clearly thrown together in a panick during a rush. I have had some overdone hot sticks before. I ate them anyway. They are just that good!

Shannon E.

Came here for dinner on Friday with the family. The service was lightning fast, we had our food in just a few minutes. The Buffalo wings I ordered as an appetizer were delicious and the pizzas were fantastic. My husband and I got a large, 4 cheese thin crust pizza and our kids each got a child's pepperoni pizza. All of our pizzas were really good: great crust, flavorful sauce and a good melt on the generous serving of cheese. My only complaint would be that our waiter never offered to refill the adult's drinks, only the children's drinks. (Extra credit for them having a vintage Ministry album on the wall with the other décor.)

Amanda M.

ooooo this place is so great. Wings, caprese, deep dish pizza, cookies, wine-everything we had was crazy good aaaaand we ate a lot. Service was awesome too. If you're in Tucson, definitely eat something from here. Cheers Rocco's!! Thanks for being the best

Brian Q.

Driving through Tucson for work and wanted Pizza. Place was small and pretty loud. Pizza was pretty good although the sauce on top kinda threw me off at first. Service was slow even though only 3 tables were occupied. there were live and dead fly's all over the windows also, that wasn't cool! overall it was WAY too expensive for what it was :(

Jessica L.

So, so, so delicious! We have tried a LOT of pizza places since leaving our beloved fave in IL, and everything paled in comparison - until now. We came on the recommendation of some friends of ours, and we are so very glad we did! We had the wings and fried ravioli as appetizers, and have nothing but praise. The wings were crisp on the outside and super juicy on the inside. The house made ranch was amazing. The fried ravioli dipped in house made marinara was to die for too. Then the pizza came. We ordered the deep dish Kitchen Sink.....and suddenly our faith in pizza was restored. All the toppings were fresh and top notch, and the crust was just killer!! What matters with pizza is having excellent ingredients and time and love put into it, and this definitely had all the above. They go the extra mile and really care what they are serving, which is refreshing. The staff is super sweet too and very attentive. Well worth the trip from Marana - we will be returning again very soon!

Michael M.

Simply delicious... Wings... Amazing... Deep dish pizza... Absolutely delicious... Cookies... Yumm... Beer selection... Yes please...

Katie P.

Rocco's is epically delicious. I've eaten many Chicago-style pizzas at Giordano's and Gino's East (the real deal in Chicago) and this place totally matches them. So, don't worry about the "authentic" factor. That buttery flaky crust you have been dreaming about is waiting for you at Rocco's. I've also had the hot sticks and the hot buffalo wings. Both are awesome and I love that you can get them in smaller sizes - perfect for sharing even for two, but up to many people! The hot sticks sound simple but are so tasty and unique! These hot wings are crazy hot, but hands down my favorite in Tucson. Yes, I am a mostly-vegetarian, but I'm a sucker for hot wings. I have had them everywhere, and these are fresh! Fresh battered, juicy and crazy, crazy spicy. Of course they do make a mild & medium sauce, but that would ruin the fun! I received excellent, peppy service, and my water cup never ran dry. They carry a small but good selection of drafts (a few locals mixed with classics) and a decent-sized beer list. The wait can be crazy because it's not a big joint - so time it right (5 pm, summertime, maybe a Tuesday?) and enjoy the Chicagoy goodness.

Krystal G.

Love this little place! I have never really been a deep dish person. However the Kitchen sink deep dish pizza is always delicious and one slice for me is perfect! Which is awesome cause I love pizza leftovers!

Mia N.

The lunch specials here are an awesome deal. You can get pizza and a salad for $9, and honestly just the salad enough might have been enough to fill me up. But of course I had to try the pizza too. I really liked that the salad had legit greens,, not just the iceberg lettuce you get at most pizza/fast food places. The pizza was interesting! I never saw pizza made that way, but it was tasty. If I lived in Tucson, I'd be back for sure because the staff was friendly and the value can't be beat.

Chanel G.

THE BREAD. Omgggggggg. Excuse I'm still drooling from their hot and spicy sticks. It's like dough that's been twisted around this delicious sauce. Oh my! I can't lie, I have yet to have the pizza there yet. I'm just not a deep dish fan. But I have had their wings, another specialty. They're pretty good. They have a nice little crisp to them, not like they've been coated in a heavy batter, but enough to give it that extra crunch. I have no spice tolerance so I opted for the mildest wing sauce that wasn't barbecue. This place is pretty small and it can get packed. Also, they're closed on Sundays!

Amber M.

We were first time customers. Great service, food was delicious. Will definitely be back again

Mary M.

Good service, good beer, good pizza... And amazing wings! Couldn't ask for more. Love this place, will bring friends and family from out of town to this place.

Roy R.

I've been coming here since my freshman year in high school in 2009 and let me say this place hasn't changed at all. The wings are still AWESOME and the deep dish pizza is absolutely to DIE for!! Countless times through the years and this place has never left me sad faced. Everyone in tucson needs to try roccos!!

Mindy S.

I can't believe I slacked so long on this one!!! Rocco's is one of the best restaurants in Tucson, period. Unpretentious without being filthy or sketchy, they hit the nail on the head every time. I love the pesto pasta, cheesy garlic bread & the thin crust pizza! There's another pizza (stuffed, I think?) that is INCREDIBLE, but I resent it for punking me out more than once. I pride myself on being able to take down an entire pizza (with grace and ease, of course), and the size small kicked my a$$. Most importantly, they kill it on the little things. The salad dressing. The soups. The fried ravioli. It's not like some other places in town which have great pizza & nasty pre-made salads and dressing straight off of the Sysco truck. They care about the quality of everything they make and it shows. I love you, Rocco's - never change!!!

Erika M.

O-M-G. The pizza here was Ahhhh-mazing. We ordered the Big Bad Wolf Chicago style with pepperoni, ham, sausage, and bacon. Everything was perfect about it, although I have never had Chicago deep dish before, so I do not have any point of comparison. Nonetheless, this was delicious beyond words. We also had the savory fried ravioli. I love fried ravioli and this is one of the best I have had. It wasn't too oily and even though we ordered take out, they were still crispy and tasty when we got it back to the hotel. We also ordered both the bread sticks and the spicy hot sticks. Both were good. I especially liked the spicy hot sticks; they had the perfect amount of spice to it, and it wasn't so mild that you couldn't feel the heat. We ordered to go and ended up waiting for over an hour, even though they quoted us at 30 to 40 minutes. However, all is forgiven because it was extremely busy and once we got the food, it was so, so good. I would probably recommend just calling in the order if you know you will be eating here because it smells so amazing in the restaurant that it's such a tease!

Paul E.

Oh Rocco's! You are a little slice of Little Chi-town fo sho!! I would highly recommend the Big Bad Wolf deep dish! A lovely mix of a pie consisting of sausage, pepperoni, ham, and bacon...say WhAt?!?!?! I actually took a small pie to go and when they handed it to me I swear it weighed about 5 lbs. and packed enough flavor to fill a MAC truck! The crust was deliciously crispy, the cheese was creamy and flowing all over the place, and as for the 3 pigs....well let just say after two slices (I couldn't stop at one...don't judge me) they fitted comfortably in my belly.

Brian H.

I've heard from people how good this place was. My brother previously brought some home and I gave it a try, but was a little unimpressed. Probably because it was reheated. I took my cousin while he was in town to give it a shot. It's a nice, quiet place. The radio played some classic rock and there were assorted Chicago things everywhere. The servers were great. We ordered a Large Deep Dish Big Bad Wolf and some cheesy garlic bread with marinara. The bread was fantastic and the marinara was even better. But the pizza...oh, the pizza. This was, by a long way, the BEST pizza I've ever eaten. The cheese was super fresh. The sauce was, somehow, better than the sauce for the garlic bread. The toppings just threw everything over the top. I cannot wait to go back again, and I will absolutely be back again.

Kimberly R.

If I lived in Tucson I would be here weekly! Visiting my sister and we always make a special trip to have Pizza, wings and mostly importantly, HOT STICKS! The pizza is deep dish. I'm from new Jersey, so I'm not a huge Chicago style pizza fan. But, it is super fresh with great flavor combos! I tried the mushroom. It was really delicious! But, by far the best thing on the menu is the Hot Sticks! I'm a huge bread eater, and I love spicy foods! These sticks are everything I love! They bring you some ranch to cool your mouth off a bit. Yummy! The wait staff is excellent! There are only a few inside big booths, so plan your arrival accordingly. They do have a great bar while you wait for a seat.

Jenni L.

Rocco's is a great little pizza joint and very family friendly. I tried the deep dish Kitchen Sink pizza and it was fabulous! Also happy with their large beer selection, you can't enjoy a pizza without beer! Went there for dinner with my husband and toddler, we were sat right away and offered a high chair, crayons, and a kids drinking cup.

DA M.

The raviolis are a must try. The wings were also some of the best in town... Perfectly crisp yet not too crispy. And of course the pizza is highly recommended. I enjoyed the happy hour that lasts until 9pm in their outdoor patio.

Francisco L.

The pizza here is definitely a winner. we sampled both the thin and deep dish pizzas and both are excellent. You will be able to taste all the ingredients in the pizza. it was a great experience to get hit by the flavor of the sauce, then the meats, the cheese and the dough. I was very pleased with the food. The fettuccine Alfredo was very good too. we had the portabello and the chicken, both has a flavorful sauce and the pasta was just right. It would have not been complete without some wings. We had the Hot flavor and it is not so hot that you will be diving into your glass of water, just the right amount of heat and then flavor town. The owner had recommended the Bloody Mary and it did not disappoint, I would just suggest you ask for easy on the ice. The place was packed and we had to wait about 15 min for a table (not bad at all, plus the Bloody Mary did the entertaining). You could see that the staff was taxed with a full restaurant, but they were cool. they gave us good service and once we sat, the food arrived promptly. Big kudos to the staff.

Joe R.

Awesome food!! The pizza and wings are crazy good :)! The service not good. I suggest you get the take out. Cheers Joe

Tiffany S.

In the mood for some really good pizza and you not wanting the ordinary go to Little Rocco's Chicago, it's great pizza delicious salads and their wings are definitely ones that you might want to try. Being located centrally on Broadway it's pretty easy to find the parking isn't so great and the actual size of the building is kind of small but they do have booths and outdoor seating, The waitresses are very friendly and quick and attentive, one of the best salads I've had in town always really fresh greens and dressings are very tasteful. Now the pizza is excellent always made fresh to order, it's a little crispy but yet still soft enough for you to enjoy, fresh ingredients always make for the best, and if you're lucky enough to go during lunch hours they have an excellent lunch menu you could order a slice and a salad or a slice and wings all for under nine dollars, I was pleased to find out that they sell the sauce that they use on the wings. By far one of the best deep dish pizzas I've had in town.

Brandon W.

Took the wife here the other day. We had a deep dish kitchen sink and it was out of this world. I used to always eat at zacherys downtown before they closed and thought it was the best deep dish in town. Roccos takes the cake, plus they have some tasty wings. Our server was mediocre at best, but our food came out in a timely matter and everything was better than my expectations

Sarah N.

Shared an antipasto and a deep dish pizza with my honey. Food was aweaome. The meats, cheese and veggies in the antipasto were fresh and tasty. The crust in the pizza was a little crispy on the outside yet still soft. All in all a wonderful experience. We even came in about an hour before they closed and the service was friendly. (We left before close, as a fellow server I know how uncool it is to hangout on a place after they've closed) The leftover pizza was even great after a few days. Will be back!

Johnny C.

Let's talk pizza. More specifically, let's talk deep dish Chicago pizza. My favorite kind of pizza pie. You know a place that serves up a good slice? When my old go-to Zachary's closed its doors, I was left looking for a new place for deep dish. That's where Rocco's came in. They serve up a delicious deep dish pizza. The crust is just the right thickness to hold the cheese and toppings without breaking apart. The sauce goes over all of it but isn't too messy. Great pizza. The other item that's a must try are the hot wings. Their 'hot' flavor actually has a hot kick to it, thank goodness. (Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine when 'hot' flavored wings have no spice to them.) They are perfectly cooked to be crispy on the outside but juicy and not at all dry meat inside. They also have some of the best lunch deal specials in town. So if you love your deep dish pizza and a tasty plate of wings, definitely stop in to Rocco's. Just a heads-up, Rocco's is not a big place and during dinner there can be a wait to be seated, but it's worth the wait. Friendly staff and good beer selection

Shauna Q.

I love Rocco's but hadn't been there in years. I went yesterday for lunch and ordered a lunch special - salad and a slice for $7.99. The salad is way better than anyone else's house salad. It has tangy sun dried tomatoes and dried kalamata olives, which I don't even like, but I love them on this salad! The pizza is really unlike any others in Tucson. The sauce is authentic and home made and served ON TOP of the cheese. Trust me, it works. The piece is rectangular and really results in two pieces. I had to take one half home. It can be a little pricey for a full pizza but that can be expected for REAL pizza in this town. The servers are friendly and helpful but can be a little inconsistent. They also added a bar for more seating, which is awesome since they get packed for lunch. I just told my husband next time he's on that side of town, bring home a whole Rocco's pizza!

Ana A.

The chicken wings, are hands down the best I've ever had! They are crispy, spicy, and super delicious! Pizza is good, but not my favorite. Salads, and pastas are very good. Service is not very friendly, but they get the food out to you promptly.

Katrina P.

I cannot get enough of their wings! Got the homemade bbq wings and kitchen sink deep dish pizza. Wings to die for and pizza is my new favorite in tucson! Taste is so fresh and not too greasy. I love the amount of sauce they put on (might be too much for those who don't like saucy pizza.) Will be coming back more often!

Josh A.

It is really hard to go here and not get a pizza. I mean let's face it their pizza is the best in Tucson, even if "chicago style" isn't your thing, it will be once you eat here. Sometimes it is wing night and you have to eat wings instead of pizza, or with pizza or whatever, but as good as the pizza is, giving up some of it for wings doesn't seem like a punishment. Some days you want a sandwich, and the chicago beef is great, but the U505 is amazing! Don't get me started on the pasta! I don't think words can describe how amazing this place is.

Kerry H.

Oh, Rocco's, how I love thee. I have been going to Rocco's for many years now, and it is one of the few restaurants my husband and I can always agree upon. I have never had a bad meal here, and it is worth the wait. Their house salads are outstanding, and though I don't often order ranch when out to eat, it is my default dressing selection at Rocco's. It is simply too good to pass up (however, I will also vouch for their vinaigrette--lots of herbs and very flavorful, yet not overpowering). Rocco's frequently tops lists of the best restaurants in town for wings, and they have certainly earned that honor; their wings are exceptional, cooked perfectly and bathed in delicious sauces. My friends love the hot sticks, though I'd personally go for the cheesy garlic bread over them--it is SO good...that, salad, and some wings is easily a meal for two. I often order their pasta specials, the Florentine ravioli is phenomenal, and you can't beat their deep dish pizzas (the veggie is fantastic!). Be prepared for garlic (a plus in my eyes). Based on my samplings, thin crust is also very tasty if that's your preference and want something not as heavy. You really cannot go wrong. Plus, they just keep getting better--service has dramatically improved since my earliest visits from quite mediocre to very good. Orders are taken quickly, empty beverages are typically addressed promptly, and salads are out fast. They recently updated the interior, and they have added draft beer and a cocktail menu (still need to sample those). All of this, and at reasonable prices to boot! Don't forget to ask for a "repeat offender" card, as you can earn discounts on future visits. This review was long overdue--thanks for many wonderful meals, and I look forward to many, many more!!

Howard D.

This is the best deep dish in Az. I like the kitchen sink (a supreme pizza). The ass burners are amazing. They come in hot or sweet and are a bread stick. You should go here if you are a pizza nut and like deep dish. I have driven 2 hours to eat here and it is worth it. I go here several times a year. It is a world class pizza. They would make it in Chicago. It would even compete with Geno's east or Giordano's. It is that good.

Robert M.

I had the pleasure of eating there deep dish, stuffed crust, Chicago style pizza. It was very good for AZ. I would eat there again.

Amanda T.

I am a pizza fanatic and Rocco's is the best pizza I have ever had in my entire life. I have moved away from Arizona and this pizza may be one of the things I miss the most! It's the first thing I eat when I return home. Crust is perfection! Wings are delicious.

Laura R.

This was great deep dish pizza. We ordered 2, a pepperoni and veggie plus chicken wings and fried mushrooms. I would definitely go again when I visit AZ. It was so delicious. The beer was refreshing.

Henry B.

Second time this has happened. Two people severed and none of the employees acknowledged me. Good pizza but it's not worth it.

Victoria C.

The good: pizza was actually pretty good The bad: could have been a bit cleaner. Some of the other guests, which appeared to be regulars, made me a but nervous. The ugly: the beers we ordered were skunked, one of the employees reminded us of a certain Silence of the Lambs character and the other male cook did a great job in quality control by sampling, with his bare hands, from customers plates in the kitchen. At least buffalo bob had gloves and a hairnet and our server was clean and very hard working. Unfortunately the pizza was neither good enough nor cheap enough to make up for the disgusting actions of the cook.

Christopher K.

My friend and I ordered a deep dish and a thin crust pizza and it tasted great. The customer service was good as well!

Taylor M.

Went back again and got sick from eating here and this was after seeing a bad review from the health department.., ouch.

Dennis B.

Great atmosphere and even better food! Wings were excellent, pizza was awesome. Overall a great experience!

David B.

If you're looking for thick Chicago style pizza, this is a great place. We really enjoyed the meat pizza we got here. Unfortunately the pasta dish we ordered was very disappointing. It was the daily special advertised as having a "rich cream sauce," but it was neither rich nor creamy. In fact, I wouldn't even call it a sauce; it was more of a broth. Fortunately our waiter was very gracious about it and didn't charge us for it. And the pizza was so huge that it ended up being plenty of food for all of us. One very important consideration to keep in mind is that Wednesday is wing night, and they were jam packed and very busy. Our waiter tried to keep up but just couldn't give us the kind of attention I would have liked. But it's hard to blame him considering how much work he had on his hands. Next time, I'll know better than to go on a Wednesday.

Nate S.

REAL CHICAGO style pizza... I've got to say this is the best since I went to university in Illinois. Recommended by our neighbors (native Chi-towners), this is definitely the best in Tucson. A few others here rank high on my hit list, but if it's pizza day, Rocco's is the place! Tried the wings, fried ravioli and Deep dish Kitchen Sink pizza-- Homemade BBQ sauce and Real cheese makes the difference. Mmm, good!

Brad H.

OK, I'm eating my pizza as I type this in between bites. Holy Kawasaki this is good stuff. Completely night and day compared to the last one I had there. I'm so glad I gave this place a second chance. I ordered the Kitchen Sink stuffed pizza again. (Sausage, pepperoni, mushroom, green pepper, red onion.) This time, after speaking with Rocco himself on the phone describing it to me, it was a stuffed pizza. (The last one I received was a deep dish.) And boy, is it stuffed! I read my previous review and it mentioned too much mozzerella. This one is just right. Also, the last time had way too much garlic. This one is delicious! The crust is excellent, too. This is a small, I'm on my second piece, and already I'm slowing down. I usually can put down quite a few pieces of "regular" pizza. This one is rich and full of toppings (or should I say "stuffings?"). I guess last time they had an off day or someone new in the kitchen or something. But tonight? Wow, hit it out of the (Chicago) ball park! This is now one of my favorite pizza's in town. Good job, guys.

Jennifer L.

I am originally from Illinois and appreciate a good thin crust pie. Rocco's did not disappoint! We had the kitchen sink pie and it was amazing. The sausage was authentic as I could taste the fennel, the crust was crunchy and the sauce was on point. I would highly recommend Rocco's and will be back next time I am in Tucson

Panama R.

I consider myself a pizza snob. We Ordered the big bad wolf thin crust. Lots of meat. Good quality meat. Excellent sausage. Pizza was all about the toppings and toppings were real good. Crust and sauce were not bad but this pizza is all about the toppings. Negatives were pizza took a long long time to come out (it was hot) & the pizza was not cut all the way through so we had to saw through a thin crust with butter knives. while I don't mind paying for quality, I don't love paying $25 for a pizza. But it was very good.

Mike Q.

Killer wings and great deep dish. If you enjoy deep dish, you will love Rocco's. If you're there on a date, a suggestion: get the smallest size pizza or you will be totally stuffed.

Don V.

Met up here for a friend's birthday dinner last night, didn't really know what to expect but cheap 35 cent wings. I rushed down after my spin class - to find myself waiting 2 hours for a table!! If it hadn't been for my friends wanting to dine here, I would have left within minutes of waiting. Granted we did have a big group (14 people) but they could have been more organized. What made my blood boil is that people with groups of 4 or less were seated within minutes of going in. -_- Finally we got a table outside on the patio, now we had to deal with a very rude waiter! OMG really! Could this night get any worse? Man 0 Man this guy was so mean! Pretty much every person was scared to ask him for anything. He made it very uncomfortable. The food was GREAT! Wait - Don't quote me on that. Everything tastes delicious if you haven't eaten for 8 or so hours. I was so hungry I must have devoured about 30 + wings within minutes.. Lol, but who's counting?!? ^_^ All and all the service hit rock bottom and the food was good. Note to self: Next time come back with a smaller group. 4 max!

Brittney C.

Love it here! The only aspect that needs improvement is the service, its usually very slow, but that won't keep me from coming back. Hands down the best wings I have ever had, and the hot sicks are an awesome invention on their part!

Lisette C.

This is hands down the best pizza I've ever had in my life. I've lived in Tucson for the past three years and unfortunately I'm moving this summer. I can totally say that I'm going to miss this place so much. I come here about every two weeks. I usually get their house salad and a couple of wings to go. Their pizza is what we call in the south "off the chain", it's absolutely incredible. Get ready to cancel your plans for the rest of the night because it is very rich and heavy in the tummy. I usually try to go with a bunch of friends so that I don't get so full. Their lunch specials are great because you can get a drink, salad and a large slice of deep dish pizza. I really wish that there were more staff since they are usually very rushed, it makes me a little anxious.

They do have good pizza, worth a shot. Not thrilled with the pasta dishes but judging by their ratings it's more of a personal taste on my end. ;) Cute atmosphere but seems to be neglected on cleanliness. What ended it for me though is when they brought politics into their restaurant. They probably made money off of the publicity and makes me wonder their integrity and character. I can find pizza just as good somewhere else.

I ordered the stuffed heart attack pizza and an order of wings both were phenomenal. The service was good but it didn't blow me away, if the service was a bit better I would have given five stars.

Husband had the spaghetti with (homemade meatballs). I had the spinach ravioli with (homemade) meatballs. Everything was DELICIOUS. Everything was clearly made from scratch with love. Yuuuuuuuum!!!! Upon the recommendation of the absolute most friendliest take out waitress, we ordered the "half" instead of the "full" meal order even though we were both hungry. The orders came with bread and we also added side salads. The meal was very filling. The side salads were also fresh and delicious. Just on a whim, we decided to get one chocolate chip with walnuts cookie. Oh. My. Goodness. The cookie was life changing. The entire meal was $22. Best $22 I've spent on food in a long time! Get in to Rocco's....you won't regret it!

I recently ate at roccos, I thought it was overall good. The food is delicous the pie wasn't that hot though like it was sitting for just a bit the service that I had wasn't the best the waitress seemed out of it and at times annoyed. But the food tasted excellent and the hostess made up for the burnt out waitress.

Megan M.

It was good service a little slow, a different waitress had to give us our to go boxes. Calzone was good everyone loved the deep dish. For sure will be back!

This review is strictly for their vegan options. They have vegan deep dish pizza and it is sooooo good! It comes with green bell peppers, portabella mushrooms, garlic, and I can't remember what else but god the crust is soooo good. Apparently they will make their garlic bread vegan for you and they also have vegan breadsticks although I haven't tried either. I've been living off their pizza lately :)

Lots and lots of hype (from friends, family and fellow Yelpers) so had to give it a try. Well that, and I got a gift certificate. I'm not a pizza fan so I'm going to base much of this review on my husband's opinion (he could eat it every day). Place is small, great patio, clean bathrooms. Service was friendly and capable (well right up to end when it came time to pay). Ordered medium wings, extra crispy (greasy but nicely flavored), a Caesar (rich on the eggs but decent nonetheless) and a 9inch deep dish with custom toppings. I just wasn't into the pizza but my husband said he really liked it, especially the chunky, very garlicky sauce. We had a cookie (highly recommended) but didn't find them to be anything special. We go to pay at the counter and I was given my total. She had forgotten to subtract my gift certificate so I had to point it out. We also had a $5 coupon but she would not honor since I was using another "coupon". Isn't a gift certificate considered cash and not a coupon??? I tried to explain that but...whatever. Paid and threw the coupon out as we probably won't ever have a use for it now.

Pizza = AWESOME this place rocks, salads are fantastic, prices are fair, service was great, it's a small location and it was packed but the patio area was nice. It's not typical pizza, it's not round, it's not greasy, you really need to try this place to appreciate it.

Vin B.

The food was great! The wings and pizza were awesome! The service.... not so good. Some young girl that seats people was very rude and our server had a little attitude, she made us feel as if we were bothering her. Otherwise, overall as I mentioned, the food was great!

Eric K.

Best chicago style pizza I have had in tucson, reminds me of being back home in chicago, even the atmosphere is like what I grew up with in the 80's in chicago!

Barnum G.

I had a small Caesar salad to start. It was a decent size, however the lettuce was absolutely doused in dressing. The croutons were very good and homemade. My husband and I then shared a Heart Attack pizza. It is a very hearty, meaty pie. It was very good. We brought half of the pie home. Don't forget the 1/4 lb. cookies!

Tory H.

I drive past here every day and always get a chuckle out of the witty posts on their sign. The deep dish pizza was fantastic. It is hearty and has great flavor. I'm very picky about sauce, and this one was very good. Don't waste your carbs on the bread sticks.

My thirty-one year search for good pizza in AZ has come to an end. First visit was simply to support the owner's stand against an anti-gay/lesbian bill being considered by the state legislature. I drove about thirteen miles to show my support and ordered a pizza knowing nothing about the place. Ordered a small, thin crust pepperoni pizza. I moved to AZ from MN thirty-one years ago and never had pizza like I loved in Rochester, MN. LOVE the crust and generous toppings on my Rocco's pizza. Excellent cheese and tomato sauce, terrific pepperoni. It's a considerably long drive from my home to Rocco's, but I LOVE the pizza. Five star rating from me if the servers were a little more friendly, but they are always very busy when I'm in there. Still, a smile takes no effort.

Kyle S.

Let me start by getting right to the point. The food is amazing. The service... Not so much. My fiancé and I just left from our first time visiting Rocco's. Good: - We started with their mild chicken wings. They were amazing. I would have preferred more heat, but my fiancé won out. The use a nice vinegar based sauce. The wings were steaming, juicy and tender. - Next we got a 9" deep dish (enough for two, easily) with cheese, house sauce, green peppers and Italian sausage. Again, amazing. The crust was soft and chewy with a crisp outside. Not soggy at all. It was extremely filling. A good leftovers lunch. Bad: - The service is terrible. The hostess is barely there to seat you. The only reason we were sat quickly is because it was just the two of us. Our server took forever to take our order or drop off out drinks. We didn't mind the wait for the food, once ordered, as it was very busy. Once our pizza arrived we didn't get plates for a good 5-10 mins afterwords. Finally our server say my fiancé's not happy face and got them. - The restaurant is dirty. Like almost filthy. I know hole in the wall places can be run down, but the was not good. The air filter was caked in dust and grime. The floors and by the checkout had an inch if dust and more on it. Ew. Final thought points: - This place is ttiinnyy. - Get the food for takeout. - Prepare for a wait. Overall I'll get the food again, but for take out only. The service and establishment are subpar.

Kelly C.

Awe man, I TOTALLY miss Rocco's Little Chicago!!! I used to frequent this amazing little place over the 4 years I lived in Tucson; and 3 years after I've moved...I STILL fantasize hardcore about their extra crispy wings, their fabulously simple yet perfect pizza and their insane-o awesome off-the-menu Buffalo Chicken Cesar salad...MMMM thank you Dane!!! Great daily bottle beer selection as well...very random and always fun to try something new. :) Love the sign out front too, always very entertaining.

Stephanie S.

Great pizza, yummy cheesy garlic bread, decent wings, and cute little patio -- what more could a girl want from the neighborhood pizza joint? The only reason I limited this place to four stars is because I can never pop in and out -- there is always a line (and resulting 30 minute min. wait) and the food takes a while once an order is placed, but I guess those are probably good things, huh? My favorite order is "the kitchen sink" -- that's Rocco's delicious version of the supreme, with loads of pepperoni, sausage, green pepper, mushrooms, and onions. Yum! Keep on rocking Roccos!

Bethany E.

BEST PIZZA IN TUCSON. I don't care what the Pizza Madness bracket results yielded; Rocco's has the best pizza in Tucson and some of the best I've had anywhere. I don't usually even like deep dish pizza, but they have it down to an art form. There's a lot of hullaballoo about their chicken wings, too, but I think you can get better chicken wings elsewhere. Also, I'm not a big fan of their caesar salad. To me, the dressing tasted bland (I like a little anchovy kick), and the chicken was cold and dried out and had a rubbery texture. Definitely go for the pizza (duh). Also, the pasta salad is so freaking delicious. Trust me on this. The spicy sticks are also great, they're kind of like buffalo breadsticks. I've been told they have good cookies too, but I have yet to try for myself. I like that you can sit on the patio or inside. Sometimes the place gets really busy, so food will take longer to come out and your refills might be a little slower, but the servers are always very friendly and knowledgeable. Check out this gem.

Dena J.

THE SERVICE WAS AWFUL! As an out-of-towner, I really trust Yelp and the reviewers who live nearby and love certain neighborhood places. I scoured Yelp for the perfect pizza for our limited time in Tucson - finally choosing Rocco's. I knew it was small, I knew it had limited seating and I knew that folks said the pizza is terrific. How can you possibly suck all the joy out of pizza and hot wings? From the moment we walked in the door, the service, largely comprised of completely disaffected employees, was AWFUL! Not a smile, not a hello, not a word or a glance. I really should have insisted that we walk right out the door - and god help me, head directly to Pizza Hut. And what really gets me is that my complaint was not really about the wait staff or the five or so guys in the kitchen, but rather with management who clearly rests on the laurels of decent food at the expense of excellent customer service. When chicken sits on the counter for 10 minutes wading in oily sauce, people get sick. When pizza sits on the counter for even longer, getting cold and rubbery, the customer is better off with a take-and-bake pizza from Costco. I am a firm believer in good, strong tipping and I left nothing. We finally took the pizza to go, but not before such a bad taste in my mouth. Like I answered to the incredibly unfriendly hostess when she asked me how everything went - you don't want me to answer that question. A few days later, I found out that Rocco's was in the running for best pizza in Tucson and was in the lead. I hope any recognition from the community is rewarded with a customer service come to Jesus with the staff.

Nick R.

To be honest, the main reason we went to Rocco's was because of their public stand against the insane AZ HB1062. The fact that they serve amazing pizza was a very welcome bonus! The house salads were excellent, as were the cheesy bread sticks. We ordered the deep dish pizza, which was beyond delicious. We will definitely return again!

Agustin O.

Lunch specials are awesome. Service is ok, it depends on whom you get as a server. I have always had a good time with friends and co-workers. They have outside seating but it sucks when they don't notice you came in.

Chris H.

It was a sad day when Z's closed, but Rocco's has eased the pain. Awesome deep dish Chicago-style pies and a few craft beers on draft (and Schlitz, too, in the bottle if that's your style). Had the Chicago Fire with fresh jalapeños and sausage and the jalapeños were...nice. I'm now intrigued by the wings which, according to the staff's shirts, are "hotter than your sister". Good s..tuff.

Raymond S.

I'd been wanting to try Rocco"s for the longest time, as I love deep dish pizza. I walked in about 3:30 in the afternoon and told the woman at the counter it was my first visit. She promptly sat me down and handed me a menu, taking time to point out the lunch specials that were available until 4. When the waitress came by I tried to order one of the lunch specials, and this is where the problem started. She told me, "Oh those are only available until 4." I told her it wasn't even 3:45 yet, and her snippy reply was, "well, we set our clocks fast." If the lunch deals are only available until 3:45 the menu should reflect that, especially since the woman who seated me took the time to point them out. I ended up ordering a pizza. It was ok, but my overall experience was not pleasant.

Greg K.

Brilliant. Wonderful. Delicious.

Brett K.

The single best pie I've eaten outside of Chicago. It's made just like I like it back home: no frills. Pizza is basic, heavy deep dish, and it's extraordinarily tasty. Chicken wings aren't bad either, but I came for the pizza and thus could care less about some silly little bits of boney chicken. The service is nothing special, but you know what? Service ain't great in Chicago, either. Go here for the pizza. The absolute best in Tucson.

Marina M.

The deep dish pizza here is FABULOUS. Every chew is accompanied by an obnoxious "mmmm" noise from me. The sauce is delicious and the toppings are generous. And with the pizza being deep-dish and all, it's a lot of cheese. One slice is a meal-huge portions! The wings are amazing as well. The sauce they come with is not your typical bottled hot sauce. It seems like a homemade-type sauce that come with the wings. My only pet peeve is that the wings that you get on wing nights (Wednesdays) are not the same. They seem to use lesser quality wings when they're discounted. Or maybe I'm just being paranoid??? I have entered Rocco's obnoxiously close to closing time and the servers have been so nice about it. I try to avoid doing this but it's nice to not get the stink eye for it. I love the restrooms. Very busy walls to keep you...umm busy while you're doing your thing. Rocco's rocks (alliteration completely intended).

Jessica G.

Decent service, decent food, decent prices. Nothing spectacular really but I'm also not a huge Chicago style fan (however- Zachary's was THE place for it when it was around). The service was really slow, both for eat in and take out (the only two times I visited). It took over 40 minutes for us to get our food both times. The wings were average too- it's been awhile since I've had such a "meh" experience and this one did it twice! So I'll keep on eating around.

Trevor C.

Fantastic little spot! Feels very authentic and the food delivers. Went here on the weekend after craving some real Chi-town style deep dish. Had a little rocky start with the server, but she turned out to be really nice. I would say don't expect five star service here, expect it to be more like your extended family is serving you. It's not going to be perfect, but it's not for lack of trying. Started off with a great Caesar salad, dressing made from scratch with real raw eggs, it was the best Caesar I've had in quite some time. No anchovies on top, but when I asked they brought plenty. My buddy ordered the "Ass-Burner" hot wings. Less than ass burning and a lot of very thick sauce. Probably the only thing we had that was less than par. Pie came out in a very reasonable time and was sooooooo good. Great crust, gooey cheese, toppings piled on. I'm salivating just thinking about it. Tip... They have designer Jello shots for just one dollar! Try a bunch, they are so good and innovative.

Amanda B.

Okay. I really love this food here. Food - 4.5 stars. Service - 2. It takes forever to eat here. I mean forever. Plan on an hour and a half if you are doing deep dish. Its a little ridiculous. The wings here are awesome, but the last time, there was not nearly enough sauce and a little too much grease. I am hoping it was a bad day, as I have been there before and had great wings. I have had deep dish and the thin crust. I actually prefer the thin here. But, I find it hard to not like any pizza anywhere. So, I am not very picky. The cookies at the counter are huge and wonderful as well. Go here for some good food, but expect service to take forever.

Reese S.

The pizza here is awesome!! Its always busy here. You may have to wait on a table. So its better to call ahead and get it to go. The cookies are Huge!!

Stephanie G.

Get the spaghetti with meatballs...tasty

Tahiti C.

Great deep dish pizza! Very small place with more seating outdoors on patio than inside. Plenty of seats when we got there about 6pm. By 6:30 it was packed. Waiting line when we left so go early!

Ed A.

I need my deep dish pepperoni 'fix' here at least once a month! The subtle tangy spices, including garlic, are melded into a ton of delicious cheese and meat that merges right into the crust, making that delicious too! The shaded and screened outdoor dining area is too hot during the summer months making the small indoor area "standing room only." The booths are large enough for 4 or 6, though. Friendly but hyper-busy waitresses. New long marble countertop for single diners. I really gotta try their wings one of these days, I hear they're really good!

Carlos B.

Really awesome food. Can't recommend the wings enough. Also they have some great lunch specials. With the recent remodel and new bar it's added a nice touch. Don't forget to get one of their to die for cookies

Gabriel W.

Seen so many rave reviews for this place, and I've really been wanting to try it for a long time. It seems so hard to find good Chicago style pizza outside of Chicago...this place offers a very good pie, but I think next time I may have to go for the wings. I ordered a large veggie deep dish. Large is only 12 inches, and a small is 8. Considering the prices, these seem like really small sizes. I mean, yeah, 2 slices is more than a filling meal, but still...compared to Zachary's, for instance, you're paying almost twice as much for a pizza two inches smaller in diameter. I dunno, just doesn't make much sense to me. The veggies on this pie are fantastic, though. These are some seriously properly cooked vegetables and they seem to have a light balsamic flavor or something. I kinda wish I had just stuck with the pie for my order here, because it was very good. I did, however, also order some hot sticks and got some blue cheese on the side. I was kinda excited for the sticks because a number of previous reviewers mentioned how good they were. Well, they are definitely REALLY hot. I may go as far as to say too hot for my taste in what they are. I might like such a spicy wing sauce on actual wings, but this was a lingering heat that really couldn't be cooled down easily and I didnt find the dish all that appetizing. It may have been better received by me if the blue cheese it came with did ANYTHING to reduce the heat, but alas, no. The blue cheese dressing, I was excited to see come in a quantity FAR in excess of what was necessary for my order. I could have drenched the entire pizza in it, eaten the entire order of hot sticks using it for dipping, and then had leftover for salads for a week. Nice chunks of blue cheese could be found throughout, and this was also decipherable as a homemade blue cheese dressing by a few other colors/flavors found within. I was particularly interested in comparing their take to Zachary's, which in my opinion has the best blue cheese dressing ever. Well, the title stays with Zachary's...by a LONG shot. Rocco's basically tasted like watered down sour cream. The blue cheese chunks were not very strong, and had not melded with the rest of the dressing at all. So look, the pizza was good...and thats what the place is known for. But all the other aspects of the meal were sub-par to say the least. With all the hype, I wound up rather disappointed in my experience. I would definitely like to try a wing Wednesday sometime though...and maybe I'll order them with ranch.

Kevin C.

Wow! Ate there for the first time after following the Pizza bracket in the paper. We are new to Tucson and have been trying a number of the different pizza places and this is now our favorite. We ordered both the thin and the Chicago style. Also ordered single salads which were huge! You can definitely share the salad between two. I liked both pizzas, but the Chicago style is definitely the reason I have this as the best pizza in Tucson.

Corey D.

So take-out may not be their specialty, at least the recent order I picked up, but the place is a great reminder of home... Chicago... and for me that deserves 5 stars time and time again! I tend to stick to my "usual," but recently I've been shaking it up with their medium wings. Meaty, just the right amount of spice, and a zippy little sauce that has complex flavors I can't even describe. Paired with some creamy ranch it's a taste sensation that breaks from the norm of my Italian beef sandwich. I do wish you could mix flavors in an order, but I get that there aren't wing elves swiftly prepping multiple batches in the back, they take time, and making 3 BBQ and 3 hot probably doesn't sound like a good time. I'm glad it's convenient, I'm glad the service is prompt, I'm glad they have a map of Illinois, and I'm glad they have big ass cookies every-time I go. The day they're all out? Well that's the day I move back to Chicago!

Jesus M.

MAN!!! I miss Rocco's! I moved away from Tucson back in 2008 and I haven't had it since then! If you are looking for a mom and pop restaurant (literally) I would strongly suggest coming here! I have not been here since back in 08, but back then they used to have 25 cent wings every Wednesdays (dine in only). I do have to warn you though you probably have to wait at least 35 to 50 minutes to be seated depending on the time you go. It also has outside seating, which is always pretty full as well. This would have to be the best wing place I have tried not only in Tucson, but period. It is not pricy at all. They also have great garlic cheesy bread as an appetizer. I tried the pizza ones and it was also amazing. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a great authentic pizza and wings, and I cannot wait until the end of the month when I am back in town!

Shannon J.

Love it! The deep dish pizza is amazing!

Jeff S.

Love it!

Denise R.

I'm giving this place a two star rating and here's why... While I really thought the food was very good from the fried ravioli to the yummy Angry Samoan pizza and the yummy cheesecake we had for dessert, I have to say on the down side, this restaurant was absolutely FILTHY!!! I was so grossed out it made it hard for me to enjoy the delicious food. From the dirty tables to the disgusting floors, to the "clean" plate we were brought that was covered in food from its prior user to the cooks adorning their full facial beards (I did see one of the 3 cooks with a hair net at least on his head and prayed he was the one cooking our food lol) to the waiter who I turned to observe in the kitchen with his fingers in his nose area before he grabbed a plate of food, I'm just wondering how this place hasn't been shut down by the health department! At first I thought maybe they had had a rush and we just had the unfortunate luck of coming after it but judging from not only the amount of filth in this place but also from a prior review on here , I now know that's not the case. It's really a shame to since as I stated before, the food is really good but who cares if you can't have faith in the sanitary conditions of the establishment that prepares it.

Laura E.

Well I guess I shouldn't be surprised given the other reviews on here. Our waitress was HORRIBLE. After waiting for 40 mins for our food, we asked how much longer we should expect to wait. Her response was shockingly enough, "I didn't know you wanted fast food." Well needless to say that put a huge damper on our meal. After she finally brought the food she never checked up on us again. No refills, nothing about our sides. Nothing. The topper came when we were leaving and as she remembered about her tip she wished us a good night. Because we didn't have the same enthusiasm she remarked to "get over it" and "yikes." This place would have one star if it wasn't for the food. But given the need to wait 30 mins to get a table, an hour for food AND the rude service I don't see myself going back unless its for take-out.

Andrew T.

I have family that live in Tuscan and I went in and ordered a deep dish pizza yesterday and it was very delicious!! Great staff, great food! Thank you Rocco!!

David F.

I love this place so much! To me, their Chicago-style pizza is second to none. Period. Even the thin style is pretty good. Oh, and the wings are redonk. It's a little pricey for me, but it's so worth it. Oh yeah, the cookies are great too. Plus they have Old Style in a can. Love it.

Lyle R.

Got wings first, AMAZING, hot sticks next, pretty damn good. Got our pizza last, AMAZING. Wish I lived here so I could eat all the time.

Dora M.

Really really like the wings and the salad I had there wasnt bad either! the thing that really got me though was THE COOKIES! you must try the galletas, they are fantastic! The servers weren't very friendly but the take out is always good! The bathrooms are kinda run down and super tagged! again, we were here for the food and they passed the test!

White R.

The sandwiches and prices are pretty good. Even the fries were delicious, which was something is hard to find sometimes. The atmosphere is sports bar-like, and they have a good selection of food to soak up the beer.

Pierna M.

Small old building! Hole in the wall and the best deep dish pizza west of the Mississippi. The wings were great as well. Looking for that good ol Chicago style pizza? Nothing like this place

Marianne L.

I have never had a dish here that I didn't absolutely love. Wings, pizza, pasta... you name it. Their pesto is to die for!

Raul S.

FAST Review 4 out of 5 * Food 4/5 Deep dish pizzas are super cheesy. If you are lactose intolerant I probably wouldn't recommend getting a pizza, since you might die. The pizza sauce is like a delicious homemade marinara that would feel just as home on a bed of angel hair pasta. The wings are good as well, though if you are planning on getting a pizza AND wings, be prepared for take home. Be sure to get an Old Style, because apparently that's just how you are supposed to do it (according to the friends we were with). Ambiance 3/5 Smells like garlic and cheese and beer, mixed with wing sauce. A little dive-y. Parking is in the back. Service 4/5 Service for the most part was good. Forgot about us for a little bit, but in the end managed to get our order right and allowed us to split the check. Total Impression 4/5 Food was good, just heavy. Don't come to this place if you plan on doing anything other than digesting afterward. Or at least be sure you drink enough beer afterward to absorb all the food. I heard good things about the cookies, but unfortunately they were out when we went.

Mercedes D.

THE SERVICE WAS TERRIBLE. The waiter was very rude and did not welcome us to the restaurant. We were visiting from Tempe, AZ and will not ever return!

Roald M.

I'm from Chicagoland, and while the deep dish anywhere but home has yet to evoke that satisfying, sauce-on-top, thick slab of sausage in the middle flavor for me, Rocco's serves Land of Lincoln style grub tastily and snappy. The interior feels like a family joint somewhere on the Northeast burbs of Chicago; a bit harried and rundown, but lovingly so. The antipasto and salads were ample and honest. Hot wings were a high point - I detected Asian sweet chili sauce in the mix. The pizza itself was very decent - the lunch special of a deep dish slice + wings is definitely enough to put you into a comfortable haze the rest of your work day.

Becky D.

I so wanted to love my calzone because I swear I had a great one here about a year ago, but it was pretty sub-par. Several bites had nothing but crust which was kind of tasteless. At least the marquee out front is always entertaining.

Lara W.

Order the pizza!! I made the mistake of ordering a salad, on one of the hottest days of the year in Tucson, and it was all wilty and blah. But the pizza was AMAZING. The crust, the sauce, the cheese....just perfect! The garlic twist bread was also mouth-watering. Highly recommended for the PIZZA!!

Amanda M.

Hands down the best wings in Tucson. And even though they recently raised the wing night price to $0.35 per wing, we are still devoted fans. Something I always like to warn people about with Rocco's is that wing night is crowded. CROWDED. It's not uncommon to wait up to an hour and a half for a table. But it's worth it. Sooooo worth it. The wings are crunchy on the outside and perfectly cooked on the inside. Their sauce variety is great. And if you're craving some carbs with your chicken, get the hot sticks. You'll be blown away.

Seth M.

Rocco's offers a solid pie and wry sense of humor at their location on Broadway/Tucson Blvd. Their playful quotes on their front sign are amusing, and outside the restaurant you can catch a glimpse of their pizza making skills through a large window into their kitchen. They have a winning talent at Chicago-style pizzas that could be theirs to own in Tucson, however after tasting their deep dish several times I am now less inclined to shell out the $25 for a pie. I hail from Chicago, and over a year ago I thought Rocco's pizza tasted extremely close to some of the best Chicago has to offer at Lou Malnati's, Pequods, or Giordano's. They had nailed the crust, found the right consistency of sauce, and captured that warm tender cheesy tang of a hot deep dish on a blustery Chicago evening. Sadly that consistency in quality has gradually disappeared, and it appears they're content to being only a casual mid-town pizza place. I still find their deep dish to be the closest authentic Chicago-style in Tucson (and Yelpers please feel free to offer your opinions on this). The restaurant itself is a terrific place to take a date on a Friday night, or bring your family as they have a charming well-lit patio area. But I'm hoping this review, if noticed, can spur the owners to reconsider how to make their pizza consistently amazing and I'll be happily waiting wearing my Bears shirt and Cubs hat at the table.

Jessica H.

What helps this Chicago transplant get over the lack of snow in the Southwest and missing Lake Shore Drive? I will say that Rocco's helps ease the homesickness more than a little. Deep dish pies, some crappy Chicago beer, and a few sentimental posters make it feel a little more like the Windy City. I'll admit that my picture of Chicago is a little tainted, I left pretty young and I'll always have an overly rosy picture of the place, but Rocco's does a pretty good job of recreating the pizza I remember. Also, can I just comment that I love their billboard phrases? They are adorably funny on top of being delicious. I hate that the prices are as high as they are (I'm broke as a joke), but the lunch specials are a little easier on the wallet while still filling your belly with all the carbs you could possibly desire in one sitting.

Nichole N.

NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM ! I had been craving Chicago style Pizza ever since the Summer began, for the grase filled Brooklyn style they only seem to sell in LA was on my last nerve. My grandmother informed me that there was a Chicago-style pizza place in town, I said well let's check it out. . . O_____O !!! Greeted as soon as we walked in , waiter attended to us quickly & promptly even though it was pretty busy (it's a true hole in the wall people, so I give mad respect for that) , she even was kind enough to put our leftovers in the box while she gave us a brief history on Rocco. I'd come in here every other day of the week if I wasn't on a diet. Damn.

Kyleen S.

Great Chicago-style pizza, for sure! But they make killer wings and the salads are awesome too. Try the cheesy bread and you won't be disappointed. This is not the place you'll want to visit if you're trying to count carbs or watch your calorie intake, but who cares?! It's delicious! I've wanted to do a Wednesday night (who can pass up wing night) but it's always totally packed. For good reason, but still. Service is okay, not great, and parking can be a challenge when it's busy. The inside is small, but they have a nice patio that we love.

Michelle C.

Popped in for about 30 min to hang with my sis and her friends - and they had ordered quite the variety - hot wings (which I was told were "medium" and they packed quite the punch- not too spicy & GREAT flavor) a calzone with rocottta chee, spinach and artichokes (my sis gets heartburn just saying the word heartburn - so she kept it mellow) and they also ordered thin crust pizza - topped with bacon, sausage and pep. THAT was freaking delicious. I ordered a caprese salad - and I must say it was divine. At $5 I'll definitely be back for that. The calzone wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked - but dipping it in the hotwing sauce was a bomb idea. :) All in all, Rocco's is quickly becoming one of my local favorites. Great food, decent prices, small quiet establishment (except for the little 3 yr old asian kid that launched a crayon at us - - - btw - this really isnt a kid hangout people.. it's too small of a space for me to deal with your kids noise and/or crayons!) 5 enthusiastic thum---errr - stars up!

Spicy hot sticks. Wings. That's all you need to try to love the food at this place. It's awesome, the hot wings are probably my favorite in Tucson. You can get bleu cheese if you want, but honestly just power through the hot wings. Don't compromise that delicious taste and burn. Can't really make remarks on the service - I've only eaten in 2-3 times that I can remember.

Military please read: For as long as I have been in the military, my shop has gone to this restaurant (5 years) during work. Unfortunately we can only send one person on a food run and for security reasons, we can't give our IDs to the runner but we can give our credit cards to them. In one instance, our shop ordered about $200 worth of food for dinner but for some reason the staff changed it's exception to the ID with credit card for us. I'm pretty sure we contributed a huge chunk to their weekly profit since we did ordered almost twice a week summing to $200 each time. Anyway, they decided to either waste the food that was ordered and ready that day because of a one time mistake or they served it "fresh" to other customers. We can't just up and go when we please, the least they could do is trust those who protect them. Not trying to pull the military card here but, Rocco's isn't too military friendly. To the owner of this place, you just lost a huge 5 year long weekly profit contribution to your establishment. I get that you guys have rules & policies, but don't act like you've ALWAYS kept up with the policy. Hope you're happy with your strict staff.

Great pizza and wings. The deep dish was not greasy in the slightest. Wings were fried and tossed in a delicious sauce. Highly recommended. One wish, could use a little more Chicago memorabilia on the walls

I've been to Rocco's a couple of times and found the food to be decent but not fantastic. The wings and pasta were good and the deep dish pizza was OK. I really don't understand all of the reviews that claim this is the best pizza in town. While it is a completely different style, Grimaldi's is 100 times better. And the deep dish pizza doesn't even come close to the best in Chicago. I would give Rocco's three stars for the food. The real reason for the poor rating is the service, which is obviously a trend noticing some of the reviews. The last time I was at Rocco's the service was horrendous. I ordered a pasta dish and my friend ordered a sandwich. The place was pretty packed when we came in, so it was understandable if the kitchen was falling a bit behind in the orders. Unfortunately though, we waited for almost an hour after placing our order before walking out when we still had not gotten our food. Over the course of that hour the restaurant had thinned down to only a couple of occupied tables, some of which were seated after us and who had received their food, including pizzas which should have taken longer than pasta and a sandwich. While my friend and I were obviously annoyed, the server was oblivious to this fact and never bothered to apologize or even say she would go to check on where our food was at. Instead she chose to sit and socialize with her friends that came in after us and mysteriously got their food before us. So after 45 minutes of waiting we approached our server about how slow it was taking. Again instead of being polite and courteous to paying guests, she rudely told us that this was a "slow" food restaurant and that we were being unreasonable. I actually couldn't believe it when this server even told is flat out that if we didn't like it we should leave! In my opinion, this incompetent server forgot to put our order in and instead of admitting that she had made a mistake she chose to belittle us. Now I'm a pretty patient person and convinced my friend to stick it out a few more minutes as our food should be coming any minute. Well after 15 more minutes we decided to walk, and again instead of apologies all we got was rude comments from the two servers working. All I can say is that I will NEVER visit this establishment again

The wings here are insanely amazing and sooo very not commercial (thats a good thing) the pizza is off the chain and if your ever in Tucson you owe it to yourself to eat here

Eduardo C.

The employees here are usually crabby, especially on Wednesdays with the wing special, maybe because it gets so packed. That being said, the wings are well worth the money, good bang for your buck.

Carrie B.

We love the salads to start and the bread sticks, too! Salads come fresh with sun dried tomatoes, olives & parm topping-great vinaigrette! The dipping sauce is a milder blue cheese. My kids ate about 10 pieces of this pizza the first time they tried it. Call in early on Fridays cause the place gets hoppin'!!!!

Imran G.

One of the places that you REALLY must visit in Tucson. I'll start with the good first, since the good is really what makes this place shine and saves this place from getting a 3 or 4. The food is simply amazing. I dare you to find a place that has better wings than this place. There is just no way to explain how AMAZING the wings are. I mean, wow. I went to this place almost 2-3 times a month for 2 years once I found out about it. Unfortunately, I moved from Tucson, but I still fantasize about this place. The deep dish pizza is good, I'm not a huge fan and neither is my GF, but my mom LOVES it. She made me take her just for the pizza every time she came to Tucson. The thin crust pizza was amazing, I didn't think it would be and not many people try it, but damn, its GOOD. The salad is amazing as well, its simple, but amazing, some sun dried tomatoes, onions, olives, and green salad with that delectable ranch just makes me happy. Hot sticks or BBQ sticks or cheesy garlic sticks make an awesome addition. The wings. I already mentioned the wings, but I think it deserves it own section. Hot, is WAY hot, maybe 'hotter than your sister'. Unless you start coming here more often, you'll need to stick to medium for a bit. The BBQ is also very unique. Most wing places just use regular ass BBQ sauce and it stiffens up your wings, but the BBQ at rocco's is very saucy, and stays moist and keeps your wings warm. The medium and hot wings are a tad bit on the oily side, but man, are they amazing. I've gone to Native New Yorker (a bunch in Phoenix, and now one in Tucson), and none of those offer anything like Rocco's. I will spend my life trying to find hot wings like Rocco's. THE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. If they are there, consider yourself lucky, they go fast. Great way to calm the nerves after some firey wings. The service is bleh. The first few times we went there, we felt not welcomed. The service doesn't do the amazing food justice. One of the servers is not very friendly (male, black hair, looks completely lost all the time). I think its just the way he is, recently he's been cool. The other guys there are pretty funny and cool, and one of the girls is a pretty cool server. Rocco is just a baller. He's created wing heaven here, and while other places focus on variety, he focuses on quality. Tip - Wednesdays is wing night with $0.25 wings, but please, don't just get 50 dozen wings, and leave 47 dozens behind. The wings are amazing, but try a salad with the hot sticks too. Also, apparently if you order other stuff you get your food faster. Go early if you don't want to wait early, like around 4:45 pm. Or go after 8 pm. Anytime in between, and you're looking for a 45-60 minute wait. This is a small place, but its a hidden gem. Try it out on a Wednesday night if you're not sure about it. The pricing is great, I'd easily pay $0.50/wing for these awesome wings. Its a pretty clean place, and the outside seating is kinda nice. If you frequent this place, the staff will be friendly. The only reason I miss this city is this restaurant.

Lisannette R.

Rocco's how do I love thee, let me count the ways. I love that: 1. Your thin crust is so thin and delicious. 2. Your cheese is high quality and not very greasy. It stretches against my lips and threatens to burn. 3. Your toppings are fresh and you always make sure I have enough. 4. When the delivery person forgets my blue cheese, they always come back with an extra huge tub without needing to call. 5. You deliver right on time and it's always hot (see #2)! 6. Your deep dish pizza is so epic! I want to roll in it! 7. Your wings are always covered in delicious sauce and never over cooked. In short, Rocco's, I should order you all the time! Smooches! Love, Lisa!

Marty S.

This is the second time I've ordered carry-out pizza and it has been delicious both times. Not quite up to Oregeno's standards, but damn good. I had the Kitchen Sink, think crust, and it is a hefty pizza--lots of ingredients. MMMMmmm... The black eye keeping Rocco's from getting 5 stars is tonight I went to pick up my pizza and after paying and tipping, was told my pizza had been mistakenly given to another customer and that customer had already left. I had to wait another 25 minutes to get a replacement. Apologies were given and accepted, but a coupon for a percentage off my next order would have been nice (and kept me coming back). I doubt if I will return to Rocco's because of this oversight. In today's age of kissing the customer's ass it seems like more would have been offered other than a "sorry".

Gabriel R.

Amazing wings :) always looking for somewhere I can eat good pizza and good wings. Good atmosphere would highly recommend

Best pie in AZ

Rocco had me at the first bite. Came here for the first time today and enjoyed the deep dish pizza slice and it blew me away with the flavor (wasn't REAL hot through and through but maybe next time it will be). Very cozy and intimate place...people constantly coming through the door on this "cold" desert day...obviously very popular with lots of regulars. 2 huge slices, 1 hot drink, a wonderful peanut butter cookie for dessert and all for around $10. Can't beat that. We shall return!! And often.

Rocco's "Award Wining Wings" made me hate myself...... ****Though I cannot say anything bad about their pizza! This review is on WINGS ONLY**** I have been searching Tucson for the best wings, and I have been very disappointed. Sure theres Wing Stop, but you can taste the standardized, corporate, blatantly NOT house-made sauce. Wings and Rice... idk its creepy, its just a weird place. I was expecting Rocco's to have great wings, when I was younger I liked them, but once I grew up and became a self-called Wing Connoisseur, I was highly grossed out by Rocco's low quality wings. 1) Greasy, greasy, greasy sauce. Wings dont need to be greasy at all.... So thats gross 2) Small, meatless wings, give me my moneys worth please! 3) Overcooked, dry, and super crunchy. You see, I need to eat wings at least once a week in order to stay alive. This is something my boyfriend hates, he thinks my "wing obsession" is gross, and says when I eat wings I become repulsive. Its true, but DONT CARE. Wings triumph boyfriend The best wings Ive ever had were in Boulder CO, they were Hugee, with thick spicy sauce made to order. Tucson's wings suck. Once I ate Rocco's wings, I began hating myself. The previously beautiful "fall" Tucson afternoon, became yellow, dead, and full of images of Grant and Alvernon. Good wings... I guess its too much to ask for.

YUM!!!! I finally went to Rocco's and yes we got a stuffed pizza, jalapeno poppers, and garlic bread. I called ahead after reading the reviews and their menu on their website. So Friday night I called right around 6pm and said we would be there at 7:15pm to pick it up. I ordered a Large Big Bad Wolf stuffed pizza minus the sausage, and the rest you know! My son and I drove down to Rocco's to go pick up our food. We got there at 7:10pm and just like they promised at 7:15pm it was ready! Super pleased about that. The lady was sweet at the register and super nice. We took our food and heading home. When I got home I opened up this pizza box of pure awesomeness-yes awesomeness. The sauce was amazing, the cheese delicious, and the fillings oh my were they good. I was seriously in heaven this has been the best Chicago style pizza we have had in the heart of the Southwest! It was so delicious that after one slice I was full. We still have half a pizza and it was amazing! The garlic bread so garlicky and fingerlicking good. The jalapeno poppers were only okay but that pizza oh my so good! I can't wait to go there and sit in there and eat because I just know that this place deserves 5 stars but for Friday's experience it was a 4 star night! Rocco's we will be back! Yum yum yum for Chicago style pizza in Tucson!

T A.

Pretty good pizza. Too much mozzarella cheese. Crust was perfect. Not enough seating ...people were leaving because of lack of seating. Atmosphere was crappy. Most of the Patio lights were burnt out. This place won a gold award and shouldn't have....sorry. just not that great. I wont be back.

Molly H.

Wings get four stars, for sure. If you need a dirty, dirty weekend treat but you're low carbing, you pretty much have one choice: wings. Luckily, Rocco's fits the bill. I highly recommend the BBQ/Hot combo sauce. As far as Wednesday Wing Night, make sure you get there by 8:30, because the deal stops at 9:00. Bummer. Otherwise, I recommend take out. The staff can be quite surly.

Mike T.

"12 hot wings extra crispy!" Say those 5 words and you'll never have to look for another wing joint in your life. BEST WINGS EVER! We've been going to Rocco's for at least five years now. My seven year old son's body make up has to be at least 1/3 Rocco's chicken wings. Their thin crust pizza is very good as well. As a matter of fact, I've been so happy with just eating wings and pizza at this place, that I've never had the need to try anything else. Top it off with a ice cold can of Old Style beer and you'll be in heaven. Ok, so I'm mistaken, you need to top it off with one of their king sized peanut butter cookies. It's a perfect meal. The staff at Rocco's is also great! For five years, we've had the same server help us. He has our order memorized, and it's not an easy one. Let me tell ya, those wings come out extra crispy every time. The only down side to Rocco's is the size of the joint. It is very small, and with a group of 6, we almost always have to sit outside, whether it's freezing cold or hotter than hell. Being that their food is so good, there is always a line. We don't even try to make Wednesday Wing Night, because the wait is always at least an hour. I know... I'm a selfish customer! I don't want to wait when it comes to taking care of my wing fix!

Every once in a while my husband and I do not want to cook but want to be at home. When those moments arise Rocco's is always our answer. The deep dish pizza is delightful! Filled with toppings of your choice with a crispy dough and just the right balance of seasonings. While it is filling it is not heavy or greasy. Since it is deep dish it is not a quick in and out but the food is worth the wait. My love of Rocco's was set in stone after a recent bad experience. I know that sounds funny, but I always judge a restaurant on how they handle the "oops" moment. I ordered take out on their 25 cent wing night (which I hear is delightful). The place was packed and due to the volume of clients, food was taking a little longer than expected. When I finally got our pizza and got home, we realized it was the wrong pizza! I did not want to go back and wait for the correction but my husband called over to explain the situation. Rocco himself took the call, expressed his apologies and mailed us a gift card. I was impressed by the customer service and the quick remedy. Not only is it a great local restaurant, the food is filling and yummy, and they owner is a great guy. All in all, Rocco's is top notch!

E. A.

We were wondering where to go for lunch and Rocco's was the choice. And what a great choice. We both choose a lunch special, the Frank & Jack. It was 6 wings and a slice of deep dish for 7.49. We also ordered some breadsticks. They're pizza dough with cheese , spices and sauce on the side. Basically de constructed pizza. The wings had nice crisp and swimming in their flavorful medium sauce. And a nice bowl of ranch. We got the sticks and wings together. There was quickly a pile of bones on the plate! With the flavorful breadsticks it was a meal in itself. The pizza arrives. I ordered pancetta and portobello. It covered the plate and tasty! I was unable to finish the plate of happiness. The order was flavorful and filling! And the price was decent for the amount of food! Rocco's your legend continues.

I guess that I'm in the minority here, but I think that this place is way sub-par. Definitley popular with the college students, though what does that tell you? Most students are happy with a micowaved frozen burrito from 7-11 at 2 AM, am I wrong? Anyway I tried this place a couple times, would have gone more often based on the better reviews but it's always packed at either lunch or dinner time, (Go figure). Though the 2 times that I was there I wasn't impressed with the service, (Spaced out college drop-outs) and the food was disapointing. I tried the chicken wings that were really greasy and were not done in the traditional Buffalo way, they came with some weird sauce, and that's all they had, but I must repeat - greasy! The second time we ordered a Chicago deep dish pizza. It took forever to arrive despite not being busy that afternoon. It was WAY too salty, too doughy and just not authentic at all, you know? Once agein this is Tucson, so just about anything passes for the "Real Thing", you know?

Mike P.

They have $2 Old Style, nectar of the Midwest, here in the Southwest. If that isn't enough, they also have pretty rad pizza, and a number of clearly marked vegan options. There is a pizza called the Angry Samoan, which is probably all you need to know.

Zach F.

I always hear people arguing over whether Rocco's has better pizza or wings. Being that it's a pizza place, I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing. What I do know is that their wings are fuckin' delicious. Like....really really good. Seriously. For example, I order them to go and then block someone out of their car because I've parked too close whilst stuffing my face with wing meat and sniffling. Is this rude? Yeah. I blame the wings though. I should mention these wings are unorthodox, definitely not your traditional buffalo wings-- seeing as there's not one single place in Tucson with good, traditional buffalo wings, these have become the norm. I've been going here regularly for over a year, and I have yet to order the pizza--not because the pizza is bad, but because the wings are just that good. Note*: On Wednesday wings are just 25 cents. It begins at 5:00PM, and runs until 9:00PM. Tip*: To avoid long wait times I recommend you get there before 5:30PM or after 8:30PM.

We went on a Thursday evening and it was crowded and took 15 minutes for seating. Then they took another 15 minutes to take our order. We ordered Caprese salad and a stuffed pizza. It took 40 minutes for the salad to arrive and an hour for the pizza to arrive! Other tables had to wait a while too but they got their food way before ours, and the wait staff never checked on us so we had to get up a few times to refill our drinks and remind them about the food. The food tasted good, but their service was so horrible that we will not go there again. If they had a floor manager who went around the restaurant to check on the customers and supervised the kitchen and the staff, it would have been better dining experience.

Bob C.

Good pizza, but takes freaking fooorrrrreeeevvvveeeerrr. Don't go on a Friday night unless you want to die waiting.

Niko G.

I love their sausage pizza and wings. The new remodelling looks great! If you want something new, try the hot sticks!

Ana T.

Roc-co-co-roc-co! That's the sound of my stomach purring with satisfaction after eating Rocco's Pepperoni Deep Dish Pizza. Let me break it down for you: *The CRUST--nice and toasty, fluffy and buttery, yummy and yummy. *The PEPPERONI--juicy and just right. *The CHEESE--nice consistency and just barely below the line of being excessive. *The SAUCE--tasty, but superabundant. Like a true nerd, I scraped off the surplus and measured it. Conclusion: there's 1/3 cup too much sauce on ONE slice of pizza. Yikes! On the bright side, each bite has a wonderful punch of flavor, and the pizza is still good after reheating it. For that, I will continue to order Deep Dish Pizza from Rocco's. And being the meat lover that I am, I feel it would be fitting and imperative to try the Heart Attack Special next time.

Thomas M.

I'm from the midwest and know what real midwest/Chicago-style pizza is like... and Rocco's definitely does it right! The thin crust pizza is LOADED with cheese and cut into squares, just like you find all over the midwest. Excellent sausage too. I haven't had the deep dish yet, but I'm sure it's authentic as hell. The wings are also top notch (cheap on Wednesdays!), and they have an excellent beer selection as well.

David Y.

Fun little joint to get together with friends and hang out. Not sure if this was an off night for the servers and staff, but my visit here was less than desirable. We were seated fairly quick and the wait staff asked for our drink orders and we were given the menus to look over. I got the lemonade, it says its fresh lemonade, but I couldn't tell the difference if it was fresh or if it was minute-maid. Ordered their 12 piece medium wings with ranch and a side of their spicy hot sticks. It seemed like everyone was complimenting Rocco's for this. The spicy hot sticks, aren't really anything special. Breaded dough with their spice seasoning. It does have a good kick to it and was well worth it. However, the wings on the otherhand, not so stellar. For all the rave everyone was giving Rocco's I personally could've whipped some up from the frozen section on the grocery store and it would've have tasted better. My friends ordered two thin crust white pizza. The waitress brought us one pizza and told us there was a mistake with the other pizza and it was being remade (This is understandable, everyone makes mistakes). The only problem was, the pizza she brought us first, was luke-warm at best, and was burnt. The cheese on the pizza was dry and not hot at all. I'm sure everyone loves a nice fresh hot pizza right out of the oven...this was not that. We still had a slice or two left from the first pizza when the second pizza arrived. The second pizza was the same type of pizza as the first, but this one was HOT!!!!!! The cheese was still hot and you could tell that it was just taken out of the oven. We had to let the pizza slices sit on our plates to cool down before taking some bites out of it. It seemed like they used a lot of salt on all of their foods...pizza, wings, pasta... It was packed when we got there and a line started to form when we were seated...but it appeared that they had more than enough wait-staff on hand to help all the tables. The service was not good. When the waitress finally came back to check on us, she was friendly and kind. My visit here was not the best. I could only imagine how crazy and hectic it would be when they have their wing night during the week. I was not impressed.

Tiffany B.

They know Chicago pizza. I'm from Chicago. It was a nice treat to have a piece of home. It's been years since I've lived in Chicago and back then, they didn't do different pizzas. It was all pretty standard. I like the kick in some of the pizzas at Rocco's. Looking forward to ordering again.

Frank G.

A little pricey but good pizza. I would have given 5 stars, but they need to get rid of that cook's tips can off the counter. What balls. It's not our fault they don't pay you what you think you deserve. It even appeared that the cook knew I didn't put anything in the stupid can. I hope he didnt do anything to the pizza. I tip waitresses and especially bartenders, but this is absolutely ridiculous. The prices are already high enough without someone expecting a tip just for doing their job behind the oven.

Alex T.

I don't know too many places that serve up deep dish pizza in Tucson, but Rocco's has it down. They also have some delicious wings, and on Wednesday they have great specials for them. Definitely come in and check this place out!

John S.

This place is pretty good!! I really like the wings here, although one of my dining companions wasn't too thrilled. (He likes the Parmesan Garlic wings at Wings Over Broadway, but Rocco's only has buffalo sauce in varying degrees of heat. Currently I am very upset about my last visit at Wings Over Broadway so am boycotting them [see my review of them entitled "Bad Taste in My Mouth"], but I have to admit that their wings are certainly larger.) Another friend, a woman, enjoys Rocco's wings. I love the way the wings are cooked, but they are a little small. Rocco's serves crisp veggies and quality bleu cheese with the wings, not the oil-laden crap you get at Buffalo Wild Wings. My friend Mark and I each had a salad, and both were large, fresh, and crisp! The salads come with bread. Since I'm low-carbing I gave my bread to Mark. It certainly appeared to be fresh. I have had Rocco's thin-crust pizzas before and enjoyed them. Their tomato sauce actually has flavor (imagine that!). My only complaint is that the last pie I had there needed some more cheese. Overall, Rocco's is a winner! I recommend the joint and will definitely be going back for more. :)

David A.

Deep dish style is wonderful. Service is extremely poor, never a manager in sight and place seems to be run by inexperienced and/or poorly trained staff, as well as being routinely understaffed especially on Wednesday evenings for the popular wing-night. I enjoy eating outside whenever possible and they do have a nice patio, however, it seems there could be a better mix of two and four seat tables (rather than the large round ones they have) that would make additional seating possible. This place would easily be four stars with a better patio arrangement, five if they had better customer service.

Daniel B.

Just had my first pizza from Rocco's. I grew up in Chicago, so my expectations were very high. Gino's East, the original Uno's, Lou Malnotti's, Carmen's in Evanston, and a hidden gem in Waukegan called The Quonset are the pizzas I grew up on and miss dearly. But I have to say that I was not disappointed in Rocco's. In my opinion, it's not as good as any of those, but only because it just needs some simple spices to make it amazing. I got the thin crust Chicago fire, which had a lot of very tasty sausage, more than any place in Tucson. Kudos for not skimping on the meat, but they were a little stingy with the onions and pepper. The crust was perfect-- not too thin and not burnt to a tasteless crisp-- it was just right. So for the pizza alone, I give them 4 stars. Because of all the bad reviews on their service and wait times during peak hours, I ordered carry-out at 3:30 on a Thursday and bypassed all that, so I can't comment on their service. Their pizza is my new favorite in Tucson, so I'm happy I gave them a shot.

Matisse M.

We ate there tonight and when I left I was a bit perturbed with myself for not going there more often! It's soooo frickin' good! Highlights of the meal include the house salad, hot breadsticks, and wings.... a.k.a. my whole meal! If you decide to heed my advice and eat at Rocco's, try to go on a Wednesday for their 25¢ wing night! The hot wings here are medicinal in the sense that they can clear your sinuses. However, if you don't like the feeling of your lips on fire, then I would recommend going for one of their milder sauces.

Jeff T.

Instead of just flaming out this restaurant... this darling of Tucson, I will write you a detailed description of why I give 2 stars. Deep dish pizza is not something you need training at Le Cordon Bleu to prepare well. But what really separates a mediocre 'za from great is subtle touches. Like: Crust- Should stand proudly above the slab of cheese, be flaky with a touch of buttery and pull apart like a biscuit as crumbs of cornmeal rain down around you like golden chaff. Their crust is none of this. It was too firm, lacking in texture, and needlessly towered 2" above the pizza Ingredients- I ordered the Italian Sausage, which for a carnivore is the benchmark by which you can really judge a pizza restaurant. Cut corners, and this is the first place it will show. This ingredient is a bellwether for the rest of the dish to come. The sausage just did not wow and was underseasoned. Texture- The 9" deep-dish showed up at my table and immediately started weeping moisture, nay- water from itself. I believe that they used canned tomatoes and didn't drain off the juice; leaving a swamp pie that was soggy. I am firmly convinced that all of the fanmail for this restaurant must be from people who haven't had the real deal. If you give everything 5 stars, it just shows an inability to discriminate. I will eat my box full of leftovers... But only because I paid a grip of cash for the pie. Trust me on this one, I grew up in Chicago!

Paul D.

I loved this place I hated this place It is a local restaurant with a lot of character The woman on the phone was "put out" with my questions It is clean The Sicilian pizza was more suited for California Kitchen They cut their pizza in squares, not triangles The restrooms were dirty They used real sausage $50.00 seemed a lot for 3 small pizzas and 4 slices of cheesecake The pizza was good The pizza was not great And best of all But at least They had Eli's Cheesecake They had Eli's Cheesecake

Elyse P.

YUUUUUUM! I'm from Chicago and hesitate to eat anywhere that claims to be associated with Chicago - it usually ends up being lame and unauthentic (re: Old Chicago) But this place ... I like the pizza more than the classic deep dish pizza places in Chicago! Yikes ... don't tell anyone! It's a bit of a dive, but the pizza is damn good. I get the deep dish with mushrooms and prosciutto. And we've also had the fried zucchini - can't beat fried vegetables. Ha. This place is so bad for your waistline, but so good for your taste buds!

Barnabas L.

Best Pizza in Tucson right here in my opinion. They have great deep dish pizzas and the one i recommend is the Kitchen Sink. I go here when i am hungry and two slices get me satisfied and three get me full. The Bread Sticks are amazing. The staff are an intersting bunch but i love them. It is seat yourself. If they are busy make sure the waiter sees you sitting down in their area or they might not know you are there. (thats the only bad thing) Be sure to not be starving when you go or else the wait will feel like it is forever. Deep dishes take a long time to cook, all their pizzas are amazingly tasty! If you have three people go it will come out to about 7-8 dollars a person.

Angela S.

My only gripe about this place as a (former) native Tucsonan is that I waited until just before moving to St. Louis to try it! I went here with a friend who is a longtime fan and we split a caprese salad followed by a 12" veggie pizza (thin style). The caprese salad was by far the best I've ever had! The tomatoes and basil were both very fresh and the mozzarella was the most delicious I had ever tried - slightly salty, full of flavor, and lacking the too-chewy, putty feel of other mozzarella I've had. The balsamic reduction over the entire thing was good enough to be scraped off the plate. Our veggie pizza was outstanding - loaded with tons of veggies that were just cooked enough - nothing soggy or dried out here! - and the variety was outstanding. There was some marinara sauce and the cheese had been baked on top of the veggies and both were tasty but present in smaller amounts so that the great flavors of all the vegetables could come through. The service was decent, and the patio area looked great to sit at (we ended up inside). Overall I will definitely be returning the next time I am in Tucson!

The lunch special is the BEST - a huge slice with two toppings and a really wonderful salad. Rocco and team make this place home!

Best deep dish pizza ever! I could not believe that this pizza is so good and cheesy. Way too much cheese than your heart is supposed to handle, yet, I still love eating here. don't come here if you're on a diet. The Heart Attack Special is my favorite deep dish pizza. It has ridiculous amounts of meat such as sausage, prosciutto, pepperoni, roast beef, etc. I love this place because I always indulge when I'm here. If you leave still hungry, you must be from another planet because I always take home left-overs. 2 dollar cans of Old Style beer which is a Chicago classic. Decent beer at a decent price. Oh, and the freakin' wings are 25 cents on Wednesdays! Get there early and be prepared to wait about an hour or so if you have a party of four or more. Totally worth the wait though. BEST WINGS IN TUCSON! I'm not even kidding.

Marcy L.

Pizza and food is absolutely delicious!! Support your local restaurants and come on in!

John M.

Rocco's food is amazing and I've never had a problem with service. It's the best place to get thick crust pizza in Tucson that'd I've been to. Keep in mind that the wait might be a bit because it takes a while to make this style of pizza, but it's well worth it.

Kimberly S.

Had this for lunch today with a co-worker. First the portions are enormous! I got a small antipasto platter and I have half of it saved for tomorrow. I also got their fried mushrooms and split them with five people. They were delicious! I hate when restaurants do not season their batter for mushrooms. Rocco's have a great seasoning and were not over cooked. The Antipasto was great too. Very fresh. This place has it all! Great prices, great food and great service!

Nancy M.

Deep dish pizza was good but not worth the wait...over an hour with most tables empty. Our server was super friendly, choc chip cookie delish.

Joshua R.

I was back in Tucson over the weekend, for an event planned months in advance. Accordingly, I assured everyone that made the drive from California to Tucson with me that they would have the best deep dish pizza of their lives once we got to Tucson. After checking in and getting sorted out at the hotel bar, we hired a designated driver and headed straight to Rocco's. We piled into our booth and ordered large (12") pies with sausage, pepperoni, and black olives. Since proper pie takes a while to cook, we also got bread twists & red sauce as our appetizer. The bread twists were great, fluffy inside and crunchy out. The red sauce is the pizza sauce, and was great. We killed the apps and a few Moretti's later, our pies arrive. My mates were awestruck by the site and aroma - all good. They dove in and were immediately pleased. The sauce has just enough kick to keep you drinking, but not enough to burn. The mix of cheeses, mozarella, fontina, and parmesan was amazing. The taste of the cheese really comes through and is wonderful. The crust, much like the bread twists, was fluffy inside with a crunchy biscuit layer outside. The crust has its own wonderful flavor but also soaks in tastes of the sauce, cheese, and topping. Each component comes through individually and works together flawlessly - the key reason that deep dish is so special. Without question, everyone I brought to Rocco's agreed with me: this is the best deep dish West of Chicago.

Alex P.

Like many other reviewers, I am familiar with authentic Chicago-style pizza, and Rocco's definitely hits the target. The food is excellent, so no complaints there. I have to put in my two cents regarding the service and atmosphere, however. There is one waitress in particular who is rude and moody, and we always silently hope that we don't get seated at one of her tables. She never smiles and basically drops the food on the table with a "clunk" when she delivers it. I understand a bad day now and then, but it happens every time. There are other servers who do an excellent job, but it kind of ruins the meal when you get a surly server. In terms of the ambiance, the place has a kind of grimy feel. The tables usually have some sort of film on them, and I don't trust the salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese shakers. On one particular visit, there was a live fly wriggling in the cheese shaker. It was promptly replaced by the server, but it definitely left me with suspicions. All in all, the food is great, but I don't enjoy the experience. I would much rather order take-out than eat in the restaurant any day.

Amanda I.

We found this place on a recent visit to Tucson based on other reviews and decided to try it for ourselves. I am glad we did! When we first drove up we were surprised at how small the place is... reminded me more of a little dive than anything. But we gave it a go anyways. People mention bad service on the other reviews but we actually had a great server. The place wasn't overly busy when we went (on a Saturday night) and the food was awesome! We tried the wings which were decent but not above average... but the Everything But the Kitchen Sink Pizza was so yummy! Would definitely eat here again or order out. Great place!

Aharon L.

Get out of my dreams and into my stomach. I really do have dreams about this delicious pizza. The absolute best in town. Don't mess around with the thin crust, get the deep dish and a old style. Did I mention it is the best pizza in town. No joke. The best I've had outside of Chicago. Tip- Wing night ($0.25 wings) is on Wednesday, It is crazy, show up early and be prepared to wait.

Audrey M.

One of my favorite restaurants in Tucson. I grew up eating Chicago style pizza, and i have to say this is the most authentic i've eaten outside of Chicago. I always get the stuffed kitchen sink, and always order a large because it's just as good cold the next day. The cheesy bread is fantastic. The fried ravioli is amazing, and the hot wings are outstanding! EVERYTHING I have eaten at this place has been worth every food baby ive gotten. I also enjoy the clever wording on the sign outside, it's different everytime, last time it said "Now With More Muffintop".

Loco C.

Best Wings N Pizza I have ever had! Get the deep dish, but get a small size, because it will fill you up! Get the Medium wings, I think it's their best! One bad thing about this place is that they won't let you mix your wing flavors. Overall, it offers Amazingly flavorful food, kind of little pricey thou. Also I just found out that they deliver M-F at lunch, oh yeah!

Eric C.

I've been here a few times for lunch and I can't seem to help, but order the Special, slice of pizza and 6 wings. The slice is not Gino's or Giordano's but it does well for a slice of Chicago style pizza. The wings are good and the hot didn't melt my face, but had just enough spice. It's always packed for lunch but the wait usually isn't too long. Maybe next time I go I'll try something else.

Mitch W.

Ate here for a tennis team dinner and it was very good. we had to wait about 45 minutes for a table on a friday night with a party of 10. the restaurant is small and has an outside eating area that almost doubles the capacity. excellent thin crust pizza! we ordered two thin crust. one with pepperoni and mushrooms, then one with pepperoni, onions, sausage and olives. i didn't get a chance to try the thick crust, but it looked very good. the thick crust had pepperoni, sausage, green peppers and onions. from what i heard, the thick crust is very filling. definitely recommend this place.

Bob W.

Too much garlic in the sauce, too much garlic in the sausage and I'm pretty sure garlic is in the pizza crust. If you live in Tucson, enjoy! It's the best pizza you will ever have. If you are from Chicago, WAIT TILL YOU GET HOME! I noticed one reviewer stated " It's the best pizza in Tucson". That's like saying " It's the best bacon sandwich served in the temple". Chicago visitors, stay away. This stuff sucks!

Scott M.

Pleasantly surprised. Wanted to try something different. wanted pizza and tired of the chain places that serve crap. Has the Dive mom and pa ambiance, they could use a remodeling, but the pizza is good, good sauce, not bland, nice crust, generous cheese. Nice local spot for some greesy pizza and wings.

Mikey G.

Second trip to Roccos. The pizza here is never a disappointment. Probably my favorite pizza anywhere. Service... hmm. Well to comment on this I'd actually have to receive some sort of service. Where someone preforms a task and I pay them in some sort of monetary exchange, not sure I had any of that tonight. "Service" here was HORRRIBLE. Show up, and wait about 20 minutes waiting to be seated. Not "Hey the wait will be 20 minutes," more along the lines of no one talked to us for 20 minutes. We stood there, group of three adults, not even acknowledged. Two guys stood behind the counter and tried to pull the 5th grade, "if I don't look at you, your not there" number. I was in a rather good mood and really enjoy their food so I was willing to deal with this crap for a bit. After the initial wait, we waited another 5-10 minutes before I could finally flag down a employee and ask them if they where still open (I deserved some humor at this point). Said employee brought us to a table and about twenty seconds later some dude pops out from the bathroom and lets us know that it was his table and he was just seated five minutes ago... cooooool. So we go back to the front and wait for another 5-10 minutes. FINALLY some guy walks out front and cleans the table. The person that looks to be the manager says "its ready for you." Now I do not have a ego problem, but after waiting at least 30 minutes with the "Please wait to be seated" sign staring back at me, I for some reason expected them to seat us. No dice. Walk of shame as the rest of the restaurant wonders why we are playing musical chairs and they where not invited. Waiting another 10 minutes, we finally get to order our pie :) Pie took a while to come out of the kitchen, but pry wouldn't have been some-what normal (assuming they didn't let us wait for 30 minutes on an off day). Server was 'kinda' out of it when it came to refilling beers... at this point I needed at least two to keep me smiling and polite. Once again nothing super abnormal, but definitely a contributing factor to horrible customer service. Pie was terrific. My brother is a very light eater, and he took out three slices (This would be like getting a gold medal for his weight bracket of eating). No doubt everyone would request Rocco's the next time we had pizza. This whole time there was another patron in there that was ragging against the machine... err... waitresses. Up and down, moving from table to booth, shouting, etc, etc... Guy got up and announced he was out of salad dressing three times (was funny to me at this point). Guy was mentally there, but a little to focused on a fine dining experience that was not being fulfilled by the lackluster wait-staff. We where also sat around a lot of hipsters. While they deserve a tasty pie just as much as I do, the restaurant was packed with them. Basically the atmosphere was a third "baked-coeds", a third "angry about everything, Vino dicks," and a third "people just trying to eat." These are the kids that took a good 10 minutes trying to divide up the bill into 5 parts. Future politicians for sure. Add into it some floors that where so slimy Taco Bell's grease trap would be disgusted, there's not much that Rocco's does well besides food. Just pizza, 5 stars. Just "service" -1 star. Dear Roccos, Call me when your waiters are coherent. I get better service driving backwards through a Wendy's drive-through at 1am. Love, This guy.

Jana S.

I hate to write a review of Rocco's, because I don't like waiting in line. But Rocco's has THE BEST Chicago deep dish pizza ever - none of the pizza I had in Chicago even came close. I have the vegi one -the vegi's are charred - yum! I ask for some of their creamy blue cheese dressing to dip the crust in. (Oh, sweet mystery of life at last I'm found you!) Aside from their very popular spicy buffalo wings - they have bread sticks that have the hot spices - that is also great with the blue cheese dressing. I have never had anything else - because I have to have the deep dish pizza every time I go. OMG it's so good.

Gary K.

We have been fairly regular customers at Rocco's, but our experience last night will keep us from going back for a long long time. My wife ordered a soup and salad combination. The soup was not very good and the salad came loaded with sun dried tomatoes and OLIVES, which my wife does not eat. She asked the waitress to get her a new salad with NO OLIVES. The waitress gave her a hard time, looked at her like she was nuts, and lectured us that we should read the menu. She has been working at the restaurant for 8 years and the salads always come with olives. She was nasty and would not let up about customers learning to read menu descriptions. I have had the salad at the restaurant before (I like olives), but do not remember ever seeing so many olives mixed throughout the salad. Usually I had a couple of olives on the side. This waitress never smiled, threw the food at us, lectured us again about reading the menu when she brought our food, and made our dining experience very memorable, not in a nice way. And my sausage, mushroom and onion Calzone WAS LOUSY... the worst I've ever had. I also think Rocco's switched to a different sausage... not as I remembered from my last deep dish pizza slice for lunch. It was a terrible tasting sausage in my Calzone. On our previous visit for lunch, the fried mushroon appetizers were also awful... tasted spoiled. I think it is time to avoid Rocco's.

Ran T.

This is probably the best pizza I've ever tried in Tucson and many other places. I am just so amazed by how delicious their veggie pizza is. Totally homemade style. The crust is on the thin side but substantial enough to still fulfill your carb craves. Loaded with different kinds of mushrooms, greens, tomato, herbs, onion, garlic, and many more healthy ingredients. It's not greasy at all unlike Brooklyn's. One thing I didn't like about them is that they don't sell slices after 4pm. It's a little pricey. $15 for a small thin crusted veggie pizza. But the flavor is totally worth it.

Joseph F.

THESE........WINGS........ARE........NO......JOKE! Best wings I have ever had. There is not much else to say. The service was a little slow, but that's to be expected when you have a tiny restaurant filled with patrons and people making carry-out orders, not to mention it takes a little longer for deep dish pies to cook. Bottom line, awesome wings and good deep dish pizzas. Worth the wait.

Jackie T.

The overcooked wings were a one-time occurrence. The repeat visits have proved them to be above average. The skin is crisp with a juicy interior. The hot wings are standard in flavor.The barbecue sauce is too ketchup and lacking in sauce flavor. Both varieties came swimming in loads of sauce. It was as unpleasant as a piece of lettuce drowning in ranch, but a swipe against the side of the bowl made it up to par. $0.25 wings are always appealing, but it's dine-in only. They won't charge you if you don't finish like some all-you-can-eat sushi places do, but it still breaks my heart to see so many unfinished wings go to waste in one night. The grumpy cashier was not grumpy on my last visit and answered my questions thoroughly, but I have still never seen the man smile. Rocco's a cool dude and seems genuinely interested in the well-being of his customers though. The servers are always in a good mood too. Their daily changing sign will always make me giggle.

Yvonne G.

Excellent tasting food. We had the kitchen sink deep dish pizza with mild wings and house salad with the vinegarete dressing! The dressing is sooo good! Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Worth the wait!

Dave P.

Best deep dish pie in Tucson. I've had them all and this is the best. I've never been to Chicago but when I'm in here everyone looks and talks like I imagine Second City residents. Try the Great Chicago Fire (deep dish with sausage, onion and jalapenos) and finish off with the quarter pound cookie. It might be a simulacrum of an authentic experience but I am always authentically happy with the pizza.

Justin R.

Food: B Service: B Price: A Environment/Cleanliness: A This place was alright, a cool little spot that is in a relaxed setting. I would stay away from the pizza- the cheese was like plastic and not that enjoyable. On the other hand, the hot wings were really awesome. They also have great lunch specials and we got 6 fat meals for only 30 bucks. On Wednesdays they have 30 cent wing night which is pretty...dank.

Robert N.

What a hole in the wall! I'm no Chicago style expert, but it's good pizza with friendly dine-in service. Not a place for snobs...too casual.

Jack C.

Fantastic and affordable. The wings are delicious, with some of the best barbecue and hot sauce I've tasted. The pasta and pizza are also winners. Oh, and they also have a brilliant invention called "hot sticks," which are basically bread sticks with hot wing sauce stirred into the dough (also available in barbecue). Did I mention it's one of the only places in Tucson where you can get Old Style?

Amanda H.

I LOVE ROCCO'S! I've been going here pretty regularly for the past few years and the food is always amazing. Their deep dish pizza is fantastic, and their thin crust is pretty good, though I'd stick with the deep dish. The house vinaigrette is so tasty. Their fried zucchini is always served VERY hot and crispy. Their BBQ wings are very good. The Big Dave's sandwich is BIG and good. The service has always been sort of lackluster but I still give the place 5 stars. Their waitstaff is comprised primarily of 20-somethings and they all seem a little frazzled or disconnected. I think the place seems a little short-staffed, as I've had to wait an inordinate amount of time on more than one occasion after grabbing a seat, for someone to come take drink orders or to bring the check. There is one particular guy (redhead I think, with a beard?) that I've seen more than once behind the counter at the register and he seems less than thrilled to be there and does not seem very friendly, but at least he wasn't my server. As I said, this somewhat lame service is tolerable if it means I can get food as tasty as this. Go to Rocco's!! Beware though, it gets way busy on some nights of the week (and Wednesday is 50 cent wing night) so be prepared to wait.

Eric H.

This is my first review and I just want to point out that I work in the service industry and I am not picky. With that being said, I have never experienced worse service, not even at a bad-service themed restaurant (Dick's last resort). I really tried to like this place because the food is descent and its close to home, but I just can't get past the unprovoked bad attitude and slow service at the front counter. I have been here several times, and based on the food, I would give it 4 stars. Every time I have been here, the same girl is at the counter and she has been consistently rude to me and everyone else I witnessed her dealing with. Did I mention she is painfully slow too? Well, I finally reached my limit with Rocco's when I tried to go for Wednesday wing night. I have attempted to go on wing before, but it wasn't worth the 1 1/2 hour wait. So I showed up at 7:40 hoping to avoid the crowds. It was not crowed and no one else was waiting. I waited patiently at the front counter for nearly 5 minutes while "the rude one" had a chat with a coworker. She finally asked me what I needed, I politely asked for a table for two, and she began to seat me, then she said "the special is over". It was exactly 7:45, and when I pointed that out, I was told "we run on our own time". This was the straw that broke the camels' back. I turned around and walked out without saying a thing while she muttered some sort of insult at my back. I understand being sick and tired of dealing with needy customers, I get it when your beat after an exhausting rush, but the service here at the front counter is so bad that I will not go back. I have been a bartender for 13 years, and I have dealt with all types of people and there are situations that warrant being rude, but not every customer every time. I tip excessively, I tolerate a lot when it comes to service but I will not return to this establishment until that miserable excuse for an employee gets canned or quits.

Eve S.

I don't think it's humanly possible for me to love this place anymore. It's casual and most importantly, utterly delicious. You MUST try their wings, they are out of this world and highly customizable. Their pizza ranks on the top of my special Pizza List, also.

Kelly P.

Wing night at Rocco's is fantastic. 25 cent wings. What more could you ask for!? Maybe some more wait staff... expect to wait at least 30-45 minutes for your wings on Wednesday evenings... especially when half of the football team comes in and dine. Oh, and you can't take any leftovers of wings on these nights! Otherwise the place is diverse, in terms of decor and customers. Next i hope to try their pizza!

Robyn G.

Rocco's is the best pizza in Tucson. There, I have said it. It took me too long to find Rocco's but since I have, I have not found anything better. Let me say this- we have some really good pizza in Tucson and this will be just one of my reviews that says so but Rocco's is for when you want real pizza on a pizza and beer kind of night, super casual and always amazing, tiny little spot with funky decor and absolutely no snootiness anywhere at all. Don't dress up, seriously. At all. Rocco's reminds me of the the pizza I grew up with, while they have deep dish and thin crust, I am a thin crust gal. It's what I believe is Sicilian style, cut in squares with just enough toppings and enough sauce to taste it. They have cheap beer and the worlds best appetizer item. It's true. GET THE HOT STICKS. All caps, yelling at you, get them. Delish! They also make fabulous homemade soups and cookies. Should I ever move away, I would definitely visit Rocco's any time I visited the 520.

Patrick V.

Maybe it's not saying much, but this is my my favorite pizza in Tucson. Rocco's makes a cheesy, saucy, crusty pie that is to die for. I feel like ordering a whole pie is much better than going by the slice at lunch, so round up the troops and head down there. My favorite toppings are spinach and chicken. It can get pretty busy and the parking is situation isn't too great. My favorite time to go was on a weekend afternoon (right before a UA hoops game). Pro tip: get the BBQ and/or hot sticks

Amanda B.

So I live in Oakland now where everyone claims that the most amazing pizza is Zachary's, actually the same Zachary's that Tucson has. Tried it, wished I was home in Tucson where I could have Rocco's. I enjoy this place so much that I don't even mind the way my stomach hurts from being so stuffed with oil and cheese afterwards. The hot sticks make my heart skip a beat. I like em spicy. Everything is good here. It's small, which can make the wait long, but do it anyway, or order ahead. Update: My husband and I drove 16hrs from Oakland to Tucson for our wedding. The first place we went when we got there? Not to my folks, not to see friends, noooo, we went to Rocco's. We sat in the car and ate hot sticks til we felt sick. Then we went to see friends and family. We also did our best so that we didn't have to share. For the next week we feasted on left over hot sticks (yes we had about 10 orders).

Ambre C.

I'm sure the pizza would have been good if we'd had time to enjoy it. The surly college waitress told us it would be 20-25 minutes, which was fine but we told her we were in a hurry. 45 minutes later the pizza came out, we wolfed down a couple of bites and fled - all for $40. This made us late for our U of A tour and miss the planetarium show for the day. If a pizza is going to take 45 min, fine but tell me and we'd have ordered a sub. Boo for service.

Greg J.

Best pizza I've ever had, and to my surprise, BEST gazpacho ever. Their sauce is exactly what I like, smooth texture and plenty of garlic. The 1/4 home baked cookies are great, as well. When I lived in Tucson I hit Rocco's maybe 25 times, and every rare visit I try and swing by.

Robbie S.

Rocco's has delicious pizza, and you'd probably have to go to Chicago to find better. But their wings are the best in town. They aren't those dinosaur, or steroid sized wings you find at other places. They are ever so crispy, and a real bargain on their Wing Night on Wednesdays. They also have really great lunch specials. A huge slice of deep dish with two toppings is less than $5 bucks, or you can get their Frank and Jack Special with six wings for under $8. Hands down, this place is fantastic.

David B.

Why must I have to come to you ? Is it always about you ? What about me and my pizza loving coworkers ? We get hungry too. We're here for you 24/7/365. And what do we get from you ? Sorry we don't deliver. And we can't just stop what we're doing either. How about a compromise ? You bring the pizza just once and if you don't like us you don't have to come back . Think about it.....

Eleanor S.

My co-workers wanted to order from Rocco's because they love it. I went to the on- line menu and chose the Penne with Vodka Sauce. When my co-worker phoned the store, she was told my dish was no longer on the menu. I then chose something else to complete the order. We were told it would be ready in 20 minutes. 40 minutes later, my co-worker is still standing in the store and was just told " we have a lot going on here". Unless you're delivering a baby or something, what's going on should be FOOD! Unacceptable. Oh the food was OK.

Patrick L.

Definitely the best pizza and wings in Tucson! The salads, sandwiches, and beer selection are also top-notch. I always judge Chicago-style pizza by the crust, and Rocco's is the best in town. One note for those who don't regularly enjoy deep-dish pizza: it takes time to cook, but it is well worth the wait. No legitimate place is going to deliver a deep-dish pizza in 15 minutes. Expect to wait 30-35 minutes for your pie, maybe a little more if the place is really busy. The place gets packed on Friday and Saturday nights, so the service can be a bit chaotic during those times. Never had poor service, though. The place is tiny and crazy, but it's the best pie in town!

Jacob K.

Authentic Chicago style pizza with a hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. Nice patio area too.

Steph J.

I love this place. It's cozy and the staff is super nice.The wings are excellent! Their sauce is great- nice and chunky, not watery like a lot of places. I highly recommend getting them "hot". They are for the serious wing lover. If you want something spicy but aren't into wings, try the hot sticks. They're fantastic! They're such a great idea- bread twists with wing sauce in them. YUM. I'm also a fan of the spaghetti. Nice thick sauce full of flavor. They have a great selection of beers as well. Oh! They just added A/C so when you're eating those spicy wings, the sauce is the reason you're sweating.

Kevin D.

I like this pizza much more than Zachary's. They both cost about the same, but Rocco's seems to have a cleaner, fresher taste, if that makes sense.

Ahmed S.

Since the place on 6th street is closed, this is now the best wing place in tucson. Indo buddy and I always used to come here, especially on their half off wing nights. Great food. The place is really cute, really reminiscent of a dive Chicago bar. Highly recommend it. Parking is easy, but the parking lot has a ton of holes. They also close on regular Tucson time, 9 pm, even on weekends though. The bathrooms are not so clean and the water cups small. Still, have to check this place out.

Danny M.

There are a lot of AWESOME things about Rocco's. Here's a list: The most stellar marquee in all of Tucson. Changes frequently and always has something interesting. Hella good pizza. Like hella good. Really really really good garden salad. With green leafy lettuce and things that make you feel healthy (maybe cucumbers and carrots and cabbage). They sell Old Style Beer. Not only do they sell Old Style, but on the menu it says "Old Style -- It's what's in Dad's fridge." They were selling the Knockout Pills CD there for a while. Punk fucking rock!

julie c.

Roccos is a local place with a ton of character and delicious pizza.

Ryan S.

Ambience: 3/5 (a little more upscale than the other major deep-dish pizzeria in town, Zachary's, but that's not saying much; not bad, but not overly memorable either) Food: 3/5 (I am biased against deep-dish pizza, which is what Rocco's is known for, and biased in favor of thin crust; I ordered both types; I was not impressed with the thin crust as it was not thin enough, but it wasn't bad either; the thick crust was decent--I see why people like it as it was very thick, with stuffed cheese in the crust and a layer of extra sauce on the top, but like Zachary's and all deep-dish pizza, there is way too much cheese) Service: 4/5 (I was satisfied; the pizza came out in what felt like a reasonable time; water glasses were kept full; but nothing too special) Value: 3/5 (on par with Zachary's as far as getting what you pay for; not overpriced but also not a bargain) Verdict: again, as with Zachary's I see why people like this place and their pizza; and despite my dislike for deep-dish, if you like deep dish you can't go wrong with Rocco's

Steven L.

Trying to find an alternative to zachary's pizza this was not it. This pie was very salty and the sauce was over powering, good service price was ok.

Liz G.

We ate at Rocco's yesterday, and it was delicious! I was absolutely blown away by the hot wings. We got the hot variety, and the sauce was unlike any I have ever had before. It almost had the consistency of spaghetti sauce, but packed quite a kick. If I had a spoon, I would have scraped up all the remaining sauce on the plate and ate it like soup. The wings were also very crispy, which I love. The deep dish pizza didn't disapoint either. The vegetables were fresh and delicious, particularly the jalapenos, which were not from a jar. My only complaint is that they didn't have many domestic beers. Old Style seemed to be about it. Their import selection was good, but with pizza and wings, I like a plain old Coors Light.

Daniel H.

Best wings in Tucson - you need to stop in on Wings Wednesday!

Brooke R.

After living in Tucson for about 8 months we got a coupon in the mail for a free pizza since we were new in the neighborhood. 8 months new. The first pizza we had was a canadian bacon and pineapple. Everything was done perfectly. They have New York style pizza (as opposed to Chicago deep dish) which is what I'm after in pizza. The lady at the counter was very nice. This restaurant was warm and there were flies inside. My recommendation is to eat your food at home. My new favorite place for pizza. I only wish I had tried this place sooner.

Jenderon T.

Okay this review is months late but I finally found the time to post. My girlfriend and I found this place thru yelp and was pleasantly surprised. I was rather skeptical as I'm from chicago but apparently a lot of folks are from chicago in Tucson---go figure. Anyhow, the vegan pizza is amazing. I don't know what it is about it but they nailed good pizza and with vegan ingredients--which can be an oxymoron. I'm not even vegan but Jen is and we were both impressed. Other folks here have mentioned Zachary's which I don't know if that's related to the one in Oakland I use to go to but I would say this place is on par with Zachary's. You wouldn't tell from the cheesey sign out by the road and the college fast food decor.

they have different olives on the house salad now, which didn't taste half as good as the ones i remembered from before. the wait for our two appetizers seemed excessive. in spite of our server checking up on us once, there was no offer of refilling drinks (which were all half full or less at that point) until i asked specifically. i left a generous tip but in retrospect would have knocked it back a couple bucks considering the drinks issue. great pizza as always though.

Favorite Pizza Place in the World. They do thin crust right and you always have to order a side of hot sticks too! Love this place!!

Rocco's for me has has a history of greatness for vegan pizzas, but last night we decided to try the "stuffed" veggie (no cheese) and after waiting 20 minutes longer than they told us.. i got the pie, took it home and found what i thought was a layer of cheese on top... nope uncooked dough... and lots of it. really fuggin gross. at this point i was so goddamned hungry that i punched a wall. drove back to Rocco's only to have them tell me that "that is how it is made. It is a thin layer."!!!! dude, if people at Rocco's and in Chicago eat a 1/2 thick layer of RAW pizza dough then THEY TRIPPIN. sick ass shit that would have made us sick too. i will say that they were cool enough to offer us something else. but at that point i just took store credit and got a burrito on the way home. moral of the story: don't get the "famous stuffed pizza" cuz it must be famous for sickness... everything else: awesome. update: really though, the "deep dish" veggie vegan style is maybe the best vegan pizza i've ever eaten. it is LOADED with mushrooms and spinach and always tastes great with a little siracha.

The best wings in town...medium hot is my preference. Yum deep dish veggie. Lisa's cookies are wonderful.

Love this place. Sadly, they did not deliver to my house, so I had to drive and pick it up, but that gave me a chance to have a few pieces on the drive home. Their thin crust is probably the best you can get in Tucson. Never actually ate there, just took it home, and was always an excellent meal.

I'm from Chicago, so it's rather ironic that the best stuffed pizza I've ever had is in Tucson. Rocco's simply does not mess around with their stuffed pizza. It has the most cheese of any pizza I've ever had without ordering extra cheese. The crust is also excellent, as they ensure that the cheese goes all the way back into the crust. However, the thing that really makes it the best is the tangy sauce, which has a bit of a bite to it. (Bland sauce is my problem with Giordano's in Chicago, the place a lot of people there claim has the best stuffed pizza.) The wings are also excellent, though I only had them a couple of times because I wanted to save room for pizza. They are relatively small with a tasty sauce, and they are fried very crisp. A lot of places have wings which are too meaty, which destroys the ratio of sauce and skin to meat. Too much meat and the wing is too bland. So to sum up, this is the best pizza that this Chicago pizza snob has ever had.
