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.

If you’re a fan of pizza, roadtrips and Diner, Drive ins and Dives this is a must stop. It’s quite busy and they’ve since moved from their original location. We stopped in for a late lunch to a packed house. The wait time was 40 minutes, but it went so much faster and we had a table in about 20. Booths are small, tables are limited, but there’s also bar seating. We squeezed into a booth and ordered hot wings, a small thin crust pepperoni and well as a deep dish pepperoni. You have to try it all to know right? I almost ordered a salad and such not so glad I didn’t because man alive I was full by the end. We ordered a few barrio beers from the bar as well as sodas. Service started out great, but dwindled as we ate. We didn’t receive our second beer for over 10 minutes. Both pizzas came out looking amazing and I loved the cheese burnt a bit from the oven. So dang good. The crust and all was perfection. I don’t typically like deep dish pizzas so when I say it was good trust me. It wasn’t overly doughy and the outside crust crisp, but not hard. Flavor of the sauce was great. Cheese was gooey but didn’t feel super heavy. I just wish it had more pepperoni or maybe I should’ve added another topping. Unfortunately our wings never came to us. We did notice they were dropped off at the wrong table when a guest said they hadn’t ordered them. Once our server became aware she talked with her manager who took them off of our bill since we were nearly done eating by then. Maybe next time. All in all we loved Rocco’s. Cozy spot with a chill vibe.

Yes, Yes & Yes! What a great find for this Chicago girl looking for a pizza 🍕 fix ! Loads of appetizers to choose from and I highly recommend the antipasto platter which is beautifully presented and even better tasting. Many entrees to choose from but I'm here for the pizza and it didn't disappoint. Choose from deep dish or thin crust and large variety of toppings made fresh in the open kitchen. Lots of Chicago memorabilia & the tin ceilings all add to the ambience. Plenty of seating indoor & outdoor or if you prefer at the bar but be prepared you may have a wait...they are that busy so you may want to call first.Bring your friends, have drink, have some food and watch a game and if you're lucky you'll get Erickson as your server! He's professional and playful as well as super helpful & doesn't mind offering assistance for any suggestions you may need. A definite go to !

Chicken was chewy and had zero taste. Wanted sandwich like a club or traditional sandwich and didn’t offer. Pizza only deep dish and wanted thin crust. Service was slow and server did not care enough to listen to request nor show up on time with pizza. Had to take home. She was busy eating and serving others. Had to ask other servers for requests but she did come buy with the bill ! Forced to pay with her as she’s watching. Her timing is horrible. This business needs to train their employees on how to service customers and know when to return for the bill for example. Didn’t ask how everything was even after seeing all the chewy, non-seasoned chicken left on the plate. Oh! Can’t forget to mention the “additional” credit card fee of 3.75%, tacked on for this fine dining! Expensive lesson! Will not return!!!

The new place is really nice and has its own vibe. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food was really good, especially the wings. A definite must try, you will not be disappointed.

Award winning wings were not fresh at all. It taste like it was cooked the day before and recooked. Highly disappointed with the level of expectation set for that product. The bbq pretzel 🥨twist amazing and gets the 5 stars. The deep dish pizza it was okay for a guy who is not a pizza guy but my spouse loved it. She said it was amazing. Very clean and welcoming restaurant with kind people. I recommend if you are a pizza lover.

Deep dish done right. The crust is fragile yet firm with a delicious buttery flavor. The red sauce has flavors beyond flavors, subtle yet ever more daring. The portions are well worth the cost, a cost that is quickly forgiven with your first bite. Bring friends, or don't and have it all for yourself!

We tried Roccos due to Guy Fieri's episode on DDD. The chef salad was yummy & big! We ordered a Large Thin Crust Italian Sausage & Onion Pie. The crust was like a normal NY style crust, but they cut it in squares. I thought it was going to be thinner. But it was yummy! Definitely recommend! Next time would try the Deep Dish!

Visited this gem yesterday to host a group of 5 from out of town. Fantastic service, affordable and reasonably priced and best of all ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Is the menu actually getting MORE tasty? The new venue space is beautiful and well situated and the staff are friendly and accommodating. If you've never been to Rocco's, you need to remedy that immediately. You'll thank me later! Some of the best pizza you can get! Bar none!

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.

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.

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.

We followed Guy Fieri's recommendations on pizza and wings and man that guy knows what makes this place sing. The wings were finger licking good and the pizza was so unbelievably cheesy and decadent. Service took a while but it was completely packed and they have us the heads up so I was fine with it. Beer selection was great and went very well with it. Overall this has become one of my favorite spots in Tucson.

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!

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.

The new location is so cute and so much bigger! It seems like every time I go they're packed! I like that they have patio seating even though it's very limited. When it's super packed I like to sit at the bar. My friends and I love to order a salad and wings! This time we ordered the hot wings and they are perfectly crispy! I wish they would've came with more wing sauce because it's so yummy. The ranch is also amazing. Staff is wonderful and I loving coming here for impromptu dinners.

Great food! Awesome service on a busy Sunday at Rocco's. I highly recommend making reservations on the weekend! We love the hot sticks! The best ranch to go with them! Just so YUM! We got the pepperoni deep dish and ended up taking half to go. It's so good but also filling! The kitchen sink is one of our favorites but we just went for pepp today! As we were leaving, I noticed the monthly pizza special! Now I wanna go again before the month ends! Rocco's is the bomb.com!

We stopped in to try this place and use our Tucson foodie discount. We tried the spicy bread sticks, Italian beef sandwhich, and fettuccini Alfredo. Everything was tasty and we will be back to try their deep dish pizza next time. This is a great local business that was featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and dives!

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!

My third trip to the new location and it's another bad takeout situation. Guys! Is it me? What did I do? I pass a bunch of other pizza spots on the way to Rocco's too. This one hurt- birthday dinner. Cheese pizza no sauce, except I wanted the sauce. The house salad and vinaigrette was outstanding as always. The bbq sticks tasted like Body Odor sitting in a dirty water hotdog kiosk with the texture of a soggy tshirt. The ladies at the counter always provide outstanding service. Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. What's up with the back of the house?

Really cute plaza location , gives you 60's vibes and feels. They have a great deep dish & wings here. They also offer vegetarian and vegan options ( the hot sticks with pizza sauce are delicious ) . Great customer service and waiter was very attentive. We sat outdoors and loved it.

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.

Love the new location! Larger, Roomy, Modernized, Same Delicious Food! I have always enjoyed coming to RLC. Amazing restaurant to come to enjoy some 1 on 1 or gathering of friends and family. Their food is tasty and great portions. Menu selection is the same as before- thank you for not changing! Especially those who have kids- kids meals are less than $5. Service is good! Staff members are friendly and attentive. Laid back, sense of humor yet still holds professionalism. Enjoy RLC if you have not done so. Try friend ravioli, pesto pasta, and delicious pizza!!

Best wings ever. Perfectly cooked and flavored. I've been to the old Rocco's and now just visited the new Rocco's, which has more spacious seating and more Chicago decorations on the walls. The jazzy music is also a bonus. Staff was attentive. We ordered the Frank and Jack Special, which came with six wings, a slice of deep dish, and ranch or blue cheese. We also ordered hot sticks and additional wings. Flavors for wings include mild, medium, hot, or bbq. I opted for the mild wings. The deep dish Kitchen Sink pizza was exceptional.

The wings are award winning and I'll give them second place. I enjoyed the medium sauce. It wasn't that orange buffalo bullshit. It was crafted and done well. It wasn't overly hot and had good flavor. This place does the wet style wings and I liked that. The wings were very crispy as the wet sauce didn't make them soggy. I liked the ambiance the lighting is very old Chicago yellow light. However, they didn't have any bread for sandwiches? Like huh so everyone at the table has to switch what they wanted. But I'm glad I got the wings. Our server was kind but I have feedback for the staff. If someone is new and made a mistake about the sour beer sizes and pricing don't address that mistake in front of a table to try and embarrass them. That's very rude and unprofessional. People are human. The spaghetti and meatballs were mid. The calzones are very doughy nothing to rave about. Overall over hyped but not terrible. We will come back for pizza and see if that is worth the hype. Really service and ambiance is what is giving the 3 stars.

I've been eyeing this place for a while and was happy to put it on my list to try for my Friday date night. The menu looked amazing in our server though very busy was very helpful and friendly. He mentioned that the wings were the best in Tucson so we got an order of those.... That was a lie lol (just my opinion-not even close!). We also tried the fried ravioli, which was pretty basic to me... I kind of felt like it may have been something that was previously frozen, and warmed up to serve. Felt the meatball sub was also lacking flavor and the pizza was not very impressive to me either I think the stand out from our visit was the stellar customer service from the hostess and server, and the nice patio that frames Broadway. We had great weather that evening!

Came here on a Saturday night, inside was pretty full so we sat outside. Tables are pretty evenly spread out so you don't feel too crammed next to everyone. We ordered a side of meatballs (I was told they were delicious here so I had to try for myself) which I thought would come out as an appetizer, but I must have forgotten to mention that, it came out with our deep dish pizza. I was hangry lol I lo Ed the cheese pull on our pizza, I thought the crust was pretty yummy too, which I normally don't care for. But there were some soggy spots, maybe our pizza didn't cook evenly? All in all the pizza was good the meatballs were good, glad we tried it, but not sure if we'd come back any time soon. Our server was okay, wouldn't say very attentive but wouldn't say he was also avoiding us lol but did have to flag someone down for a couple of refills.

We go to Rocco's a lot. We love it, however the last two times we called in a to go order hasn't been as good. We ordered 18 wings got only 2 drumsticks the rest flats not extra crispy as I asked. No pineapple on our pizza. No meat on the speghetti.... ER

What a great place! We had a minimal wait but they were super quick getting drinks and our order- refills were offered, the pizza takes a bit to cook but we had some excellent wings while we waited, so worth it! The quality is excellent, and had some beautiful leftovers- it's a lot of food but so worth it! I wish I kept my pics but were gen x- we dig in and think later!

Looks like a little dive but very personable and friendly. Both indoor and outdoor seating available. If you're a party of four or more likely best to seat outdoor. All the plates were delicious. Highly recommended if you're in the mood for Chicago style pizza and some Italian style dishes. The crust on the deep dish was perfection with the right amount of sauce. The Big Bad Wolf does not disappoint and very hearty meal. The hot wings were dripping of sauce and more than enough ranch or blue cheese (whatever your preference). And lastly big ups to the spicy hot sticks. Taste of breading with a nice hint of spicy just hit right before the big meal.

The new location is really nice. I was sad when the OG closed but the revival is as good. The menu is the same and I enjoyed the wing and deep dish lunch special. For $17 you get 6 wings and a generous deep dish slice. I really could have shared this with my partner. The hot sauce is really hot so if you can't handle opt for medium or mild. There are other lunch special combinations that include a salad or soup options. I can't wait to return.

Amazing food and service. Their new location is even better, right on the same block as the previous location. If you see Guy Fieri's picture, you know it's going to be a good one and it definitely lives up to the hype. The Bread Stix alone is what I always come here for but their wings, the deep dish pizza are some of my top favorites too. Come here and try it, you will not be disappointed.

This was our 1st time at their new location and the last! We put our name down on the wait list at the counter. The hostess was expressionless, as was the cashier. We were told the wait time was 30 to 40 minutes. As we waited outside, we noticed an employee talking on their cell phone. Apparently this employee was just fired and trying to figure out a way home. Over an hour later we were finally seated. The waitress, who seemed somewhat aloof, arrived at our table pretty quickly and took our order. We sat and waited and sat and waited some more. There was no atmosphere to speak of and no music. Finally, 50 minutes later a small pizza, salad, and spaghetti arrives. The food was average at best. The bill for 3 of us was south of $70. If you want to wait two and a half hours for average so called Chicago style cuisine at a place with no atmosphere with uncaring employees and steep prices, then by all means spend your hard earned money here.

Our first visit to Rocco's since they moved into their new digs! It has a very cozy feel with the brick interior walls, black booths and chairs along with some Chicago memorabilia. Love the Championship Cubs Flag! We ordered off the lunch selections today. My daughter ordered the 6 wings with a slice, and I ordered house salad with a slice. (Don't bring an outside drink- like a Scented Leaf tea inside. They don't allow any outside drinks) We ordered two waters. Rocco's deep dish is like no other in Tucson. Their crust is crisp on the outside and delicate chew in the inside. Their sauce adds another dimension of flavor and is amazing. Wings were cooked perfectly and BBQ sauce was tasty. Do not forget to get their house salad! Crisp lettuce, red onion, Roma tomatoes on side but on top are the dried tomatoes with that chewy flavor and olives! Their salad is always fresh and flavorful, one of our faves! I ordered a 9" deep dish Chicago Fire for my husband's dinner. He was a happy man!

When we went the opening week we weren't sure what to expect. Like a well oiled machine Rocco's had us seated in 15 minutes as they originally quoted us. The entire place was packed and people waiting to be seated plus pick up orders. Needless to say, it was extremely busy but we didn't wait long for anything. We ordered the wings to start which came out quickly and were amazing. Best in town IMO! They were out of bread as we tried to order tomato bread but that was okay with us. We also ordered a kitchen sink pizza. We had so much leftover to feed us all the next few days. The pizza came out hot and all of the toppings went perfect together. Rocco and his team did a great job designing and decorating the place. It felt like the old location with a newer updated twist. This is our go to and being from the Chicagoland area, it feels like a little piece of home here in the Sonoran Desert!

Rocco's says it's still their soft opening weeks after the opened the new location, but really they have undertrained staff, absent staff, and absolutely no clue how to handle to-go orders when there are in-person diners waiting. There were a dozen empty tables when we arrived and several un-bused tables. We should have taken a clue from waiting 5 minutes for the host to check us in. Annoyingly we were told there were no reservations during the soft opening when we called but people in front of us had them. We waited 20+ minutes for a table because our server was already serving a large party. When we were seated, it was 15 minutes before the server came to even offer us drinks. She was clearly unhappy to be there and kind of sullen. We ordered food at the same time since getting her attention was a challenge. She said she'd be right back with our iced teas. After taking our order, but before bringing drinks, she brought out appetizers for her party of 10. Several other tables seated after us got their drinks. We waited about 20 minutes for tea. She never checked on us. Though we flagged her down for more tea a couple times. After we'd waited 45 minutes for a Ceasar salad, we heard her warn the table next to us that it was at least an hour for pizza. She never mentioned that to us. That's lousy training. The salad was drenched in a thick thick dressing. It was made almost entirely of garlic paste. We couldn't finish it even with 2 of us eating it. We sat with the leftovers until the pizza came. It was another 45 minutes before we got our pizza. Someone else brought it out. We had to ask for new plates. And ask for the salad plates to be taken away. The pizza was very hot. The crust was cooked all the way even in the center. The 3 toppings were sparse but tasty. They charge $3 per meat topping and $2 per vegetable topping but we only had enough toppings for it to be 1 topping worth. There was also not enough sauce. It tasted okay but kind of dry which is not what you'd expect from Chicago style deep dish. Next time we saw our server, we asked for a box and the bill even though we were still hungry. Rocco's charges 3.75% for using a credit card. I hate that, and I wasn't about to let the server run away with my card for 35 minutes. We put money down for the food and top and motioned that we were leaving it there. The huge party that delayed our being seated had not received their food by the time we were leaving. They were irate (understandable.) I don't know how long a soft opening lasts but they need some intense staff training, to have enough staff that the people working aren't miserable, and the menu needs to say they can't keep up so you shouldn't order pizza unless you have 90 minutes to wait. They absolutely need to focus on in-house diners even if it means shutting down to-go orders. Food was really lacking considering we waited 2 hours at the restaurant. We are *never* going back. Neither should you. It's 30 minutes away for us, we left home at 5pm and got home after 8pm.

If you're a fan of pizza, roadtrips and Diner, Drive ins and Dives this is a must stop. It's quite busy and they've since moved from their original location. We stopped in for a late lunch to a packed house. The wait time was 40 minutes, but it went so much faster and we had a table in about 20. Booths are small, tables are limited, but there's also bar seating. We squeezed into a booth and ordered hot wings, a small thin crust pepperoni and well as a deep dish pepperoni. You have to try it all to know right? I almost ordered a salad and such not so glad I didn't because man alive I was full by the end. We ordered a few barrio beers from the bar as well as sodas. Service started out great, but dwindled as we ate. We didn't receive our second beer for over 10 minutes. Both pizzas came out looking amazing and I loved the cheese burnt a bit from the oven. So dang good. The crust and all was perfection. I don't typically like deep dish pizzas so when I say it was good trust me. It wasn't overly doughy and the outside crust crisp, but not hard. Flavor of the sauce was great. Cheese was gooey but didn't feel super heavy. I just wish it had more pepperoni or maybe I should've added another topping. Unfortunately our wings never came to us. We did notice they were dropped off at the wrong table when a guest said they hadn't ordered them. Once our server became aware she talked with her manager who took them off of our bill since we were nearly done eating by then. Maybe next time. All in all we loved Rocco's. Cozy spot with a chill vibe.

Love this place. Been many mamy times at original location but really love the new digs. Very tastefully decorated while retaining the nonpretentious feeling you love from Roccos. Food always amazing and every staff member we have interacted with has been a pleasure. Tonight we had our usual- zucchini, house salad, and deep dish kitchen sink. Every item done perfectly. Sadly i forgot to take pictures but theres a reason its always busy.

Food and service is amazing, I've been eating at this place for years and I'm amazed that even with the new location the quality of service and food is the same. I'm always recommending this place to people who are visiting, and to me it's become a Tucson classic.

Had to try this gem out after all the commotion about the new transition, all I have to say is that I couldn't be any more pleased! Thank you Rocco's for the fast, friendly service! I love that all the employees truly express themselves in the way they dress and serve in this restaurant. Of course the food is just as good as it's always been and the loud environment makes the pizza better. Overall great food, beer and people!

OMG!!! Love the new location, but miss the nostalgia of the old place. I've been coming to Rocco's as long as I can remember. The meatballs are my favorite, because they remind me of the meatballs I grew up with. Everything I mean everything on the menu I like. I still get some version of the meatballs either sub or spaghetti. I was driving down broadway and got so excited I missed the turn, circled back and got my long awaited meatball sub. So happy to be coming to the new place!!!

It was a pleasant surprise to find this local gem in this beautiful Sonoran desert town. When we were craving for a decent Chicago pizza, one of local residents recommended us here to try out as they have been going there for years. Intrigued by it, we decided to try it. The space was already filled with local diners when we arrived to pick up our order, " Kitchen Sink" in the Deep Dish along with their Hearty House Salad . The online ordering process was simple & the staff at the restaurant were very friendly and efficient. Once we ate the slice and the perfectly crunch and fresh salad, we were happy. It was excellent! How wonderful to find another great restaurant in this town! Try it & you will love it !

Food was good but the service for large party's was not the best experience. Took over an hour to even get.our order take. The new restaurant is nice.

Good pizza. Ordered a stuffed pepperoni to go, got home and found a deep dish pepperoni. Accidents happen when there are 3 types of pizza on the menu.

I was wanting to try some Chicago style pizza and luckily came across Rocco's. The salad was a great starter, as it came with a bunch of toppings and different dressings to choose from. There was plenty to split between four adults. We ordered the small Deep Dish Great Chicago Fire (sauce on top). When pulling out a slice, the cheese would just stretch like there was no end. Their pizza was one of the best that we had tried in town so far. The dough had good flavor as well. We had a cannolis to end our meal. It had a hint of nutmeg or cinnamon to it. One was plenty to split between the two of us. One thing I'd mention is to not sit on the left side as you enter. It's close to the bathrooms and kitchen, so we kept getting whiffs of cleaning smells.

I finally got to check this place out was surprised considering I'm a thin crust guy, the sauce and other base ingredients were enough to satisfy any pizza lover. Will definitely come back Anthony

we made a trip to tucson just to try this place.....and it was more than worth it! my boyfriend and i saw this restaurant on DDD and have been dying to try it ever since. we came around 5:10pm on a saturday and the dinner rush was just starting. we were kindly greeted by staff - they were all very nice. they do take reservations but you do have to call (something i wish we would've done) but we only had to wait about 30 minutes before we were seated. there is a pretty spacious patio area but the indoor dining area only have a few tables and the bar. so plan for that. as for the food.....wow. we obviously came to try the infamous deep dish pizza. it was phenomenal and did not disappoint. so cheesy and gooey and yummy! we just did a 12" cheese deep dish with pepperoni and it was big enough to share for two people (and probably 1 or 2 more because it's so filling). we also tried the bbq sticks, i am not a hot and spicy fan but the bbq sticks were fantastic! i don't know what i was expecting with these but they were also so, so good! also, the ranch is greatttt!! we did also get a caesar salad and that was yummy as well. we did grab an oatmeal cookie to go (which was delicious). all in all, the experience was so great. i would absolutely come back here. food was phenomenal and the ambiance was great. highly recommend if you are in tucson! thank you, rocco's!!!

New location is beautiful! Wings are super crispy- loved the hot wings more than the medium wings because they were bit more saucy. Service was great- super kind and attentive servers even though we had to wait, they kept filling our drinks and updating us on our food. Pizza is super cheesy and filling- you only need one slice, I promise you will be filled up with just one! The crust is super thick. Salad had too many onions.

Tried this place for the first time with my girlfriend and it was delicious! Happy to have a Chicago style pizza join on the Eastside. Highly recommended! 5* = A top favorite. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient or the only option. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = Stay away at all costs!

Food is amazing. Pizza and wings are delicious. Service is good. The restaurant is nice. We try to eat at Rocco's at least once a month.

As someone really picky with pizzas this is was actually pretty good. The thin crust pizza was okay but the crust of the deep dish was really good and fluffy. Ambiance was pretty loud but it's expected tbh. Service was okay but they were busy. It did take awhile for the pizzas to come out but if you're talking a lot with other around you it shouldn't be too bad. I think if the deep dish wasn't so overpacked with toppings it would be even better!

We really enjoyed the food -- the pizza hit the spot. Our experience with the service felt a little off. The energy from the hosts and servers wasn't very warm or welcoming. One of the servers tossed the menus on the table when seating us, which came off as a bit rushed or disinterested. It may have been a busy day, but overall, the attentiveness and friendliness weren't quite what we hoped for. We'd love to come back for the food and hope to see a more inviting vibe next time.

Just so happened to drive by this little hole in the wall, it was thankful that I stopped in! Did not realize that this place was on triple D and there was a reason why Guy stopped to check this out. Food was good ....service was excellent and I definitely will be stopping by next time in the Tucson area. By the way, they serve old style beer! Something that you would not expect to get in Arizona.
