Did some take out the other day. I’ve been to Chicago and eaten pizza at all the top spots there. Rocco’s is right there with them. Crust is buttery and flaky with good chew and not soggy. Pizza was a bit pricey, but we got 2 home and together they both weighed almost 9 pounds!!! They definitely don’t skimp on ingredients here! 5 stars all day! Money well spent for amazing authentic Chicago deep dish in Tucson!

Great spot for good old-fashioned Chicago food. We visited on a busy weekend evening without a reservation and were seated within about 45 minutes. We sat outside on the lovey patio. The staff were very nice. The prices are fair. We got antipasto and cheese bread to share. The cheese bread was great but it’s hard to get that wrong. The antipasto was simple in flavor but also delicious.
The pizzas were also great. Expect thick crust soupy Chicago style pizzas, but not the deep dish style either. They had a lot of flavor and a good crust.

THIS IS MY SECOND TIME AROUND AT ROCCO'S LITTLE CHICAGO AND WHAT MORE CAN I SAY, I LOVE THE PIZZA HERE. I DECIDED TO GO WITH A PASTA DISH AND HAD RAVIOLI PASTA WITH SOME GRILLED CHICKEN AND GLAD I DID AS IT WAS DELICIOUS. WE ORDERED TWO DEEP DISH PIES TO GO. ONE WAS THE FOUR CHEESE DEEP DISH, THE OTHER PESTO DEEP DISH. I DECIDED TO GO WITH THE STUFFED VERSION OF THE PESTO PIE. I WILL SAY IT WAS GREAT, ONLY THING IT LACKED ON THE PESTO SAUCE FROM THE FIRST TIME I ORDERED IT. IT WAS LIGHT AS I BARELY HAD IN MANY BITES. ALL IN ALL, ANOTHER GREAT EXPERIENCE. I WILL DEFINITELY BE GOING BACK. THUMBS UP👍🏽

Amazing restaurant. Best wings in Tucson and the deep dish is just as good. Not crazy about the fettuccine Alfredo- it was very dry with very little sauce. Still, everything else was delicious! And great service too. We will absolutely be back!

This place rocks some excellent deep dish pizza. Plus their craft beer selections are spot on. A beautiful stout from Wren House was on tap. Made waiting for the pizza go by fast.

WOW! This is really a monster of a pizza. The famous stuffed pizza is the way to go. Ordered by phone around dinner time and it took about an hour. Very popular place. I have been using my Tucson Foodie Passport and will be coming back!

This was an amazing pizza pie. We got the stuft crust pepperoni pizza, It took about 30 mins, which was worth the wait!! When I picked up the box, it was heavier than expected. When we got home, I understood why. There is a layer of cheese within the entire pizza, not just the crust!! The cheese was perfectly melted, and as you can see in the phPizza, it was stringy when taking slices apart. With all the fixings, this was a great choice for pizza Fridays with the family! The service was amazing and prompt as soon as we walked in. We felt welcomed and and the atmosphere was perfect. I've been here for lunch they have great lunch specials as well! The wings and bread sticks are a must try!!!

My wife and her family are originally from Chicago and Rocco's came highly recommended. She loves Chicago style pizza and it's about the only pizza my daughter will eat. They were both underwhelmed by the pizza there. The toppings and sauce were fine, but the crust was off. They said it was soft and doughy throughout instead of being firm and a little crusty on the outside like you'd typically find in Chicago. They were very busy, so maybe an off night.
I had the mushroom sandwich. Skip it, almost completely inedible. Lots of garlic, but I couldn't taste the mushrooms, cheese, or bread. Even with the garlic or dressing it was tasteless.
My son absolutely loved their bread sticks.
The man who served us was fantastic. Listened well, made sure some of the bread sticks came with just butter and no cheese or seasoning, which is how my son likes it. And regularly checked in on us, refilled our water, etc.
Nice family friendly atmosphere. Their parking lot definitely needs lighting, especially towards the rear end of the lot.

Oh gosh. What a place. I mean, this is the place for pizza and antipasto in Tucson. It is a little pricey, but 1,000% worth it. I got a whole pizza myself and ate leftovers for the next couple of days. Did not get old at all and was so happy. Parking is a challenge, but what isn't? Most challenges do not end in mouth watering deliciousness so this is a challenge worth facing. Place is full of character and I always look forward to seeing what their sign says to us all because it usually makes me smile on my way to work. Staff is wonderful and the place is clean. I love this place.

Im surprised
Ok so the place it nice the vibes are nice but the pizza was a surprise to me. We ordered the famous 4 cheese pizza Chicago style I was so exited to try it but I all ate is cheese. It was more of cheese with a bit of pizza. Maybe if you love cheese to the extreme you will like it, because I love cheese but I was overwhelmed still.
The chicken wings were tooooo greasy 5/10
Plus we only ordered wings and pizza and it was 50$🫠
Don’t think will go again

One of the best hidden gyms in Tucson! They're open later than most restaurants. That's always a plus for those late night cravings. The spaghetti is phenomenal. The pizza is unbelievable. Their salads are good. The caprese salad was outstanding. The tomatoes were fresh and ripe (a lot of places. Don't get that correct ) the mozzarella was unbelievable. The service is impeccable. They are very friendly and knowledgeable! I highly recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner or late night dinner.

I am from Chicago, I had the beef sandwich, and it was really one to Chicago's. It was so good to have a beef sandwich that was like home. The restaurant should have more seating and do some remodeling. The parking is not enough, only a few spaces. The food was delicious. I can't wait to try the pizza.

While I wouldn't call their deep dish pizza a true Chicago deep dish, the pizza is very good! Customizable pizzas let you choose your own adventure

This place was delicious. Food was a textural delight all around. Wings were hot, spicy, crispy and moist inside, the pizza crust was exactly the same! Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Cheese was flavorful and was complemented by their complex sauce. We sat at the bar and enjoyed speaking with the staff, they were friendly and smiley (note the photogenic accidental photo bomb in my cheese pull photo. Haha!) loved it here, will definitely make another trip from TX for more Rocco's!

Celebrated a friends birthday on their patio. Excellent food! The sauce is amazing 🤩 I tried a variety of menu items but the veggie thin crust pizza and fried ravioli appetizer were delicious. Highly recommend!

First time here and it did not disappoint!! We had a thin crust pepperoni & sausage pizza and the fried ravioli with marinara sauce as the appetizer. Brought back the memory of a favorite pizza place of mine from over twenty years ago back in St. Paul, MN that closed due to owner passing. Older Italian man in his seventies that made and served his pizzas in a small trolley car style restaurant. This pizza sauce at Rocco’s has that same old school, home style recipe Italian flavor. The atmosphere was great! We enjoyed sitting in the outdoor patio with the heaters and soft lighting. Staff was also very attentive and polite. Will definitely be back again very soon. Do yourself a favor and go get some of this fantastic food!!

Tried Rocco's for the first time on Friday afternoon. Arrived close to 1pm and had to wait a bit to be seated because of the lunch crowd. We ordered a large stuffed pizza about 1:15pm. Our pizza came out around 1:40pm. Twenty five minutes? Seems kind of short for a large stuffed pizza. I'm accustomed to waiting 45 mins for Chicago stuffed pizza at other places. We start eating it and I immediately thought this is not very thick for stuffed. Is this just a deep dish? Where's the top crust? *Back story: We hadn't eaten in 18+ hours, had been running errands since early morning, and were both hangry.* We ate the pizza anyway because we were so hungry and didn't wanna wait for a new pizza. But seriously I started thinking more about it after eating it and think that pizza's top crust was completely raw. It wasn't cooked long enough or wasn't done properly. I thought maybe the sauce just made it doughy, but no. It was completely raw dough, covered in sauce. I would like to give them another chance and hope this is not the norm. I wish I would've said something then, but like I said, we were starving so we didn't wanna wait more. *I also want to add that I'm very accustomed to stuffed pizza, having lived two hours from Chicago most of my life, but something was just not right with this one. The pizza was delicious, just wish it were cooked properly.

Rocco's exists in a top tier of nationally recognized pizza restaurants. They make great pies and have the sides (wings, caesars, fried mushrooms, beer, etc) that go along with it. Its homey and bustling and tight and feels like a world of friendly folk eating together. I've had dozens of meals at Rocco's over the years and rate it as my favorite pizza spot in the US. Rock on, Rocco... Rock on.

It’s been quite a while since I’ve eaten a genuine Chicago style deep dish stuffed pizza. Rocco’s has mastered the deep dish pizza right here in Tucsin. Definitely will return for more.

Rocco’s is hands down best food, best atmosphere, best staff, best everything. You are known across the country!!!!!

Andrea Azar Bryant
As always a great dinning experience. Fun, upbeat wait staff, delish appetizers and a large Kitchen Sink thin crust pizza. Always good � and always fun! The pizza was a good breakfast too. #eatlocal

Our first experience here and loved it!! We were greeted by a very friendly and accommodating young lady, we sat out side and very quickly received waters. Our attentive and gracious server gave us a beer list which was decently priced and pretty diverse. Craft beer fans will be happy for sure! Our lunch specials were more food than we thought for the price. My salad, his wings and both slices were tasty, hefty portions. Good job Rocco’s!! We will absolutely be returning very soon!!

Omgggg!!! This place has the most amazing wings ever hands down!! Always crisp and perfectly hot! The servers are so hilarious and so nice, they let us stay after they closed while they were cleaning up like it was no big deal. Definite 5 stars, if I could put 6 I would!! Thanks Roccos for being so amazing!
