No Anchovies (870 East University Boulevard)

Andy and I were walking around campus area today. Dinnertime rolled around and we decided to stop at a bar/restaurant named No Anchovies. What really sucked us in was the "pizza by the slice" sign. We really enjoyed pizza by the slice while we were in New York and we can never say no to pizza. :)
When we walked in, we saw a good selection of premade gourmet pies. After some time we decided on three slices .- hawaiian, barbeque chicken, and margherita. For 11, we got so much food. The food was delicious. Each slice had great amount of toppings and the crust was delicious, perfect thickness and not soggy at all.
We will definitely try to come back again. There was plenty of seating area and the bar prices seemed pretty reasonable.

One of the staples of my house is Pizza. We have it at least once a week whether it's going out or staying at home. Although it may not be the healthiest food, it's wonderful after a bad or good day of work.

A favorite place of ours is Papa Murphy's. They make pizzas that one can take home and bake. We've tried many of their pizzas, ranging from gourmet meat lovers to the thin chicken delights and they've all come out great. Papa Murphy's also offer sides such as cookies and cheesy bread sticks that one can take home and bake. All were delicious!!

One may ask, "What is so special? I can just go to the frozen section and buy the same food for much cheaper and bake it too.". My answer to that is "Don't knock it till you try it."

Rocco's Little Chicago Pizzeria

Rocco's Little Chicago Pizzeria is a great place to get wonderful appetizer and really good pizza. We were introduced to this place by Andy's sister. Rocco's is not a chain. It cannot be found in multiple places in Tucson, nor any other city in Arizona.

Rocco's is opened 6 days a week and closed on Sundays. They have great lunch and dinner menus. The lunch deals occur everyday, including Saturdays, and run from 11 to 4. The lunch menus have smaller portions and good prices and are a great way to try out things from the regular menu such soups, salads, sandwiches and wings. The dinner menu has a larger variety of appetizers, pastas, salads, and pizza.

We went to Rocco's for our New Year's Eve dinner. We ordered a large portion of the spicy hot sticks and a large stuffed Angry Samoan. It was definitely more than enough food for the both of us. The spicy hot sticks came with a large amount of ranch, which is better than any other ranch I've ever had. The pizza came out right before we finished our appetizers. Pizza is always covered in lots of sauce and cheese. There's never a shortage of toppings either. Every bite was delicious!


We came home with half the pizza which will last us for two meals. As 2009 comes to an end, I suggest everyone to try out Rocco's at least once in 2010.
