Back in September of this year, Jaime’s Pizza Kitchen moved into the vacant spot at 312 E. Congress St. (the former Little Love Burger across from Hotel Congress).
Ever since then, it’s been a tasty addition to the downtown Tucson pizza scene.
Now there’s a lunch special you need to check out if you’re walking around downtown midday or working nearby — starving for something to keep you going until the end of the day.
The pizza joint is currently offering a one-topping slice of pizza, a side salad, and a soda for just $10. Keep in mind that the deal is only available from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Tuesday – Friday. The menu includes toppings like pepperoni, sausage, bacon, red bell peppers, mushrooms, etc.
A Family Business
“We’re passionate about what we do. Everything is still made from scratch,” said Gabriel Moreno, owner and chef of Jaime’s Pizza Kitchen. “Everything’s got our entire heart and soul in it.”
Back in 2005, Gabriel got his start in the pizza world at the former Rockin’ Pizza in Tucson, he helped open Tubac’s Italian Peasant in 2010, moved back to Tucson to sling pizzas at Grimaldi’s, and then spent some time at Pizza Luna before it closed in 2022. Now, with a new space and a brand-new dining room, Jaime’s Pizza Kitchen is thriving, serving 10-inch and 16-inch pizzas, calzones, garlic knots, and hot wings to hungry downtown eaters.
Jaime’s Pizza Kitchen is located at 312 E. Congress St. For more information, call (520) 849-5908 and visit tucsonjaimes.com. Jaime’s Pizza Kitchen is also a Tucson Foodie Restaurant Partner.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
