This is the worst service I have ever received at Rocco's. Been her for 20 before we decided to move to the bar because the waitress never came back. Now we are sitting at the bar and placed our order 20 min ago and it still hasn't come out. GET IT TOGETHER read more

Amazing. You don't deserve food this good. Tucson may not deserve good this good. When I think of this place I have to weigh whether my own health is worth abstaining and I usually come down on the side of the food. read more

Very enjoyable. Pepperoni Deep Dish for the Hubs and a grinder for moi. Parking is out back and sat in the 70° sunshine having just arrived from the cold Pacific NW, though there is traffic noise being on main thoroughfare, E Broadway Blvd, it was great just to see sun and blue skies! Everyone else was inside the darker chillier booths and tables haha. Pizza was large for $19 -- 9" Pepperoni $3.49+ $15.49 Deep Dish has softer puffy crust with medium firmness, good flavor, chunky clean tomato sauce, not zesty kind, and plenty of cheese. Very pleasing for Tucson deep south 1700+ miles from our fave Pizza Uno and Gino's East, Chicago, that has a firmer more flavorful buttery cornmeal flaky crust (Ai says it's cream tartar that Gino's uses). My Classic Italian grinder $10.99 1/2 or $15.49/Whole uses La Baguette Parisienne's which has delicate chew and just enough crustiness, super fresh, it really makes the hero so good. Do wish it had dreamy mortadella and spice of salami instead of pepperoni for the price :/ Add-on a kinda spendy House Salad $5.49 / Caesar Salad $6.49. House Salad was well done and chose Vinaigrette, fresh crisp romaine red lettuce oily olives fine chooped sundrieds parm and tomatoes. Do it at lunch until 4P and you save a buck $15.49 on 1/2 Sammie/Soup or Salad. Menu rounds out with pasta with homemade sauces and meatballs, award-winning wings (not stated by whom) pizzas thin or stuffed, stromboli and calzones. Desserts--a giant slice of plain Eli's Cheesecake From Chicago $5.99 (not familiar), cookies and cannolis yay! Time to revisit Lil Chicago in Tucson already, yum! read more

Parking is such that I would only go back on offhours....if i were to ever go back. Decent location Ambiance/Cleanliness-clean enough, comfortable booth..cool decorations, legit small bar area. 4 stars. Service-adequate...the drinks and appetizer were served quickly and efficiently. Entrees were a sh*t show. 3 stars. Food...this is why I don't go out nearly as much as i used to. Toasted ravioli was very, very good..marinara was on point in texture,but a little bland. iced tea was colored water. My dining companion ordered a house salad with chicken. I ordered a kitchen sink deep dish with a BURNT crust...because otherwise deep dish is too wet. My buddies salad came out a good 15 minutes before the pizza which took a good 30 minutes to make it to the table..and the crust wasnt even close to hitting the mark....the pie was 26 bux for a 9" Mama's is WAY better...never going back. 2 stars read more

On a business trip and my colleague happens to live good food like I do. He suggested Rocco's and man was it good. Real deal deep dish Chicago style pizza. We had the Big Bad Wolf (all the good piggies on it) and the Kitchen Silk. We did two small to share and still took some with us. Great service with menu suggestions and guidance. Place has a nice small exposed brick feel to it. Fairly loud, but happy people enjoying some fine pizza it's expected. A+++ read more

It had been a while since our first visit so we decided on Rocco's Little Chicago for a weeknight date spot. We finally tried the deep dish pizza and absolutely understand what the hype is about. It's worth the few extra minute wait and the small is enough to feed 2 people. We also tried the fried mushrooms which were perfectly crispy and held onto the breading well. This place is a Tucson staple for a reason! read more

I've had Rocco's on my list for several years, so long that my Waze took me to their old location first but I immediately just knew it was down one building. We visited at about 2:30 PM, so it was nice, slow and quiet when we were seated. Our server was really nice, quickly brought us some iced water and took our order - dozen medium wings, the spicy hot sticks, kitchen sink pizza and a cannoli to top it off. My hubs is the wing guy, he said they were very tasty. The spicy sticks were good with a nice bit to them. We did the thin crust, and I do love that they cut it into squares... makes for easy eating and you do not have to commit to an entire slice. The cannoli is apparently house made, a cinnamon like flavor and was really yummy even though I barely had room. Our server was pretty slow after taking our initial order, partially due to shift change as it was nearing 4 and got much busier but it was a little frustrating to have to keep waving down for boxes and check. read more

I've been wanting to try Rocco's forever and finally had the opportunity last Friday evening. It was busy but we found two seats at the bar. I ordered a Limoncello Margarita and it was one of the most refreshing drinks I've had in a long time....so good that I had two. My guy really likes bread so he ordered the cheesy garlic bread AND the spicy hot sticks. He liked both - I just had a bite of the hot sticks and they were tasty. For dinner, he ordered a calzone (which he loved) and I ordered a half grilled rosemary chicken sandwich. The sandwich was overwhelming for me with that giant baguette and I wasn't that hungry so I put the bread aside. The flavor was good but the chicken was extremely dry. We watched one of the bartenders fill a cannoli and KNEW we had to have one! We ate half and packed the rest to go along with a giant slice of cheesecake. Prices were what we expected so no complaints there. The ambiance and decor are fantastic. But I'll tell you this - my five star review is for the service. Absolutely stellar! Despite me not mentioning it even to my husband, our server/bartender could tell that I was not happy with my chicken. As he cleared our dishes he told me that he comp'd my meal because he could tell I wasn't enjoying it. Now THAT is service! We'll be back for some deep dish pizza for sure! read more

They had a couple of vegan deep dish. The mushroom one is the best. Wish they had vegan cheese. Pro tip take your leftover pizza and add the liquid Miyokos cheese to it! read more

Great bar and bartender. I would recommend the wings. Good texture and flavor. The restaurant is clean.

Had lunch there today. Ordered the Chicago Beef sandwich and a sausage pizza to go. The beef sandwich was served "wet" instead of providing the au jus on the side for dipping. The Au jus was excellent but broke down the bun so was difficult to pickup. The sandwich was tasty but very messy to eat. The pizza was excellent! I brought it home for dinner and it did not disappoint. The wait staff were very friendly and professional! Thank you Sergio for your excellent service! We'll be back! read more

I'm super picky about pizza ... but here I literally had everything picked off my plate! So darn good! We had the deep dish Kitchen Sink ... the cheese, the gooey cheese, the dough, the garlic in the sauce, the heavy laden slice... I could go on. Bottom line- delicious belly stuffing pizza! Also tried the wings(hot) and spicy hot sticks. A couple things about the wings: delicious and don't order hot unless you enjoy a savory spice level.., this is not typical wing sauce... this is house made sauce that is flavorful and with a good kick. They do offer milder wings... but if you are a spicy wing person- worth trying. The cannoli and cheesecake were a great way to round out the meal- but we barely touched it as we were so full. Chicago vibes, fun tshirts, decent bar options, and overall just a great experience. Will be returning to try other items on the menu and highly recommend. read more

I've been a Tucson local and have never tried Rocco's because I have my usual pizza places but since they opened in the new plaza and I love those businesses I decided to give them a try. They have always been busy when I've walked by so MAKE RESERVATIONS. We were seated right away they do mark off tables that have reservations. The waitress was attentive at first getting our order but honestly service went downhill from that which I've seen in some other reviews. We only saw our waitress when she took our order and gave us the bill nothing in between but we saw her check on other tables. The only saving grace here is the girl who was running food out and bussing tables, she did more for us than our waitress she refilled my drink, gave us plates for our pizza. We didn't get plates for our wings so we used the paper towels on the table. She also was the one to give us our boxes. If it wasn't for the other girl I would've given way less stars. Let's get down to the food. We ordered mild wings, deep dish pizza with green chile, pepperoni,mushroom, and sides of ranch and blue cheese Wings came out VERY quickly which was nice since I knew the pizza would take a bit. They were nice but nothing outstanding for the ranch it actually tasted pretty bland. The pizza was really good if you love an extremely cheesy pizza, sauce was great and the crust! Also I'm a big green chile fan and really appreciated they have actual green chiles not the crap that comes in a can. Overall solid food, service will be hit or miss. read more

We ordered to go and called it in 30 minutes prior. The deep dish pizzas take longer to cook. I tried The Paisan deep dish because I like anchovies. It had a lot of capers and like the description said it's a flavor explosion. It was good and there are many other types of pizza to try. When I picked up the pizza, service was friendly and my pizza and wings were ready. It was crowded for a Thursday night. We also ordered 6 hot wings and they were award winning. They were spicy hot with lots of sauce. Very good. You can reserve a table online through Yelp also. read more

I've lived in Tucson a long time and finally tried Rocco's for the first time. I had the house salad with the house vinaigrette which was yummy and a generous portion. I loved the addition of sun-dried tomatoes. You can add meatballs as a side for only $2.99 for 2 good sized meatballs. They were moist, flavorful and the marinara is definitely homemade. The service was very friendly and they're at a great location that's not too far of a drive from any side of town. read more

I admittedly haven't been to Rocco's in years but was very excited to check out the new location this weekend for a late lunch/early dinner. I was not surprised to find the place quite busy on a Saturday at 3:30ish, but we were seated quickly and our server was able to take our order quickly. The food came out pretty fast considering the crowd and everything was delicious as always. I had the lunch special deep dish slice and a pasta salad. Both were delicious and I had plenty of leftovers- hooray. My his Ben had the fettuccine Alfredo and ate it all up. I love the big, new location which felt open and airy and had a ton of seating. We will definitely be back. read more

The boy and I ran 2,100 stairs this morning - motivated largely by a Chicago deep dish waiting for us at the end of that workout. We split a small (9") "heart attack" ($24) which comes with sausage, pepperoni, prosciutto, roast beef, and extra cheese... yes, a fitting title! It comes precut into 6 slices. We each managed two and hit the take-home button on our 3rd. The toppings are generous, the sauce is so fresh and savory, with very noticeable herbs and spices, and the crust is amazing. Pizzas take about 30 minutes to make/bake. Ambiance is incredibly soothing - with a mix of dark/industrial, and exposed brick with overhead ductwork - like a large Chicago loft. There are plenty of booths and heavy wooden tables that can seat 2-6+ people. All chairs and benches are thickly padded and comfortable. Staff is attentive and generally warm. Parking can be a challenge as there is just the one expansive lot behind the charmingly renovated midcentury strip mall which is shared by increasingly popular shops, including Scented Leaf, Quisty's Sandwiches, and Decibel Coffee, among a half dozen others. Roccos has been around several decades, for a reason. Terrific food, stellar new digs, and a devoted community contributor. Note: you can order takeout OR you can come in/sit down and dine. But you cannot merge the two. I'm often in a hurry, especially at lunchtime and (if I don't simply eat at my desk (most days) then I'll often order ahead, roll in as the food is finishing, and sometimes grab a chair and eat). Roccos' policy is (adamantly) one of not allowing that combination... if you order ahead it can only be for takeout (although they will gladly accommodate half/half pizza requests, Lol). I'll definitely be back. read more

INCREDIBLE FOOD!! FEATURED ON DINERS DRIVE INS & DIVES There is a wonderful atmosphere in the restaurant. We got s stuffed crust pizza and a meatball sandwich. Angry Samoan pizza has a nice heat kick and they actually fold the ingredients into the stuffed crust. Oh and the CRUST!!! One of the BEST crusts in my LIFE! Sausage & Mushroom stuffed crust! The sauce is on top and since we picked it up they placed a piece of foil across the top of each pie to cover it and retain heat while keeping any of that goodness getting stuck to the top of the box. The ingredients are incredibly fresh and the sauce is definitely hand made fresh with all fresh ingredients. You can taste it. Whole Meatball Sandwich was one of the best meatball sandwiches I've ever had. This place scored a rare twofer but the food is that good. The "whole" sandwich is two sandwiches to most people. However I still ate the whole thing. You could see the fresh ingredients in the meatballs and the taste and texture were spot on. The nice person that took my order was very attentive and made sure I had fresh parmesan, dried peppers, napkins & paper plates. Whenever we visit this area we will be coming here for pizza and meatball sandwiches. read more

My #2 spot for pizza in the greater Tucson area. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the aroma of fresh herbs and spices. For all the garlic lovers out there, this place is for you. The deep-dish pizza is amazing--the flavor hits you as soon as it comes out of the oven. Caprese salad was excellent! I ordered to go, but if you choose to dine in, there's plenty of seating available. Afterward, you can grab a tea or coffee just a few doors down. No issues at all with the service. read more

First time trying this after many recommendations. Not the biggest pizza fan but had to try deep dish! The service was fast & the menu has a lot of great options. Inside there is a lot of room but I know it can get busy very fast, we were able to easily get a spot at noon on Saturday. The food came out quickly and hot. The food was good! Wings were the star for me, great sauce & good ranch!! The pizza slice is HUGE so prepare for that. Would come back to try their thin crust pizza, and get the desserts as well. Come hungry! read more

We are long time Rocco's fans and we're excited to see and try out the new digs, and it did not disappoint! We went on Saturday afternoon before students were back, so while it was busy it was not packed. We waited less than 5 minutes to get a table and food came along quickly as well we were there just over an hour. Like others have noted the new space is large, open, and obviously newer but still has the Rocco's vibe. We loved the layout, bar, and patio space. The waiter was attentive and very friendly. While he was busy he never forgot to check-in and the floor manager was also going around checking on people. Great service just like before! The food is exactly like you expect, delicious sauce, on delicious dough with good amount of fresh toppings on the pizza, fresh salad, and wonderfully spiced bread stix. We did a thin crust, which is our go to, and it was nice and crispy even for a 16". The Caesar was not over dressed. Everything but one item was the same great meal. The one change we noted is the move from RC Cola to Coke. Not an issue for us as we like both. For us, Rocco's is the same great food, service and vibe just with more space and coke products. Thank you Rocco and the team for keeping it real and helping more of Tucson enjoy your food. read more

I never went to the old location so I can't compare them but this new one is really nice! Our waiter Eric was super friendly and talkative (in a good way) he offered us tasters of the beer on draft which is always nice. We went with the dragoon blonde. Very tasty. We ordered the garlic bread with marinara to start. About 8 pieces so a really good amount for the 4 of us. I got the deep dish pizza which does take longer but it's so worth it. I ordered the kitchen sink. Mushrooms, green peppers, pepperoni, sausage and red onions. I got the small and ate about a slice and a half but it was the best pizza crust I've ever had. It was so soft and pastry like. I wanna roll myself in it. Then they even box your food up for you. Remember. Like before the pandemic. I really appreciated that! They also have a nice patio where dogs are welcomed and they take reservations which I recommend as it was pretty packed on a Monday night! read more
