So I always thought I loved pizza. I have been born and raised in Arizona so I guess I really don't know what good pizza tastes like. That was until I went to Rocco's on Tuesday! On Broadway just west of Country Club is a small family-owned restaurant that has been a Tucson treasure for over 10 years. I can't believe I have never been there before. I was able to taste real Chicago style pizza for the very first time. It was so much better than any other pizza I've had before. My favorite pizza was "The Kitchen Sink". It pretty much has everything but the kitchen sink in it! It's a deep dish pizza packed full of flavor. The pizza sauce is homemade on site as is almost everything else!
On top of the great pizza, Rocco's also has great salads like the caprese salad with the most amazing balsalmic vingarette. I also loved the breadsticks dipped in the homemade marinara sauce. There were also spicy breadsticks that sure needed to washed down with a good ol' fashioned "Old Style" beer. I went to Rocco's with some great friends and before leaving I knew I just HAD to get a pizza to go for my husband because he would love it, which he did! :) Before leaving I had some real Chicago style cheesecake from Chicago! It's flown in fresh and it's amazing! It literally melts in your mouth. Some cheesecakes are to think and rich, but this one was just perfect. I didn't want to share!
Rocco's will definitely be one of our main eating out places!
You have to try it! If you do go, mention that Taste Casting of Tucson sent you and you'll get free drinks! Check out the website: www.roccoslittlechicago.com
