Rocco's Little Chicago
Pizza · Tucson, AZ
About
If you're looking for a pizza spot with a history of standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, Rocco's Little Chicago is for you. This Tucson pizza joint made front-page news on CNN when it led the public's fight against Arizona's 'Turn Away The Gays' law in 2014. Owner Rocco DiGrazia describes himself as a 'failed anthropologist and thwarted musician, but a decent father and passable pizzaiolo.' The pizza is good: they serve award-winning Chicago-style pies in three styles, plus chicken wings, pastas, and salads. It's budget-friendly, casual, and dog-friendly.
The place has been around since 1998, and DiGrazia's Anthropology degree comes in handy with customers and staff. The Broadway location is twice as big as the original and just as unfancy. It's easy to get a table since they take reservations, and there's a full bar if you want a drink. Stop by Feast for a nearby culinary option if you're in the neighborhood.
