Each week, we want to highlight one of our favorite restaurants in Tucson!
If you’re living on the northwest side of town, and then also craving some Italian goodness, look no further than the delightful Dominick’s Real Italian. Actually, it doesn’t matter which side of town you call home, the restaurant is a treasure trove of traditional Italian cuisine.
Over the years, the team at Dominick’s has really stepped up their menu and restaurant — dining here feels like a family dinner at your cool Italian aunt’s place.
Located at 8330 N. Thornydale Rd., Dominick’s is known for making dishes in a traditional and classic way by incorporating family recipes and using quality ingredients.
Appetizers include fried ravioli and steamed mussels, and the pasta on hand is as simple as spaghetti with meatballs to Dominick’s Scampi, which tosses both chicken, shrimp, and veggies in the house’s special scampi sauce.
They don’t skimp on the quality of their ingredients.
And hey, don’t skip their spaghetti and meatballs!
Their pizza is a total game-changer. It’s hot, it’s fresh, and the sauce is a bit on the sweet side.
The Italian restaurant has a pretty great lunch special daily until 4 p.m. — giant slices of cheese pizza for $8. If you’re a big spender, toss some toppings on it for $0.75 each (up to three toppings). Then, add a non-alcoholic drink for just $1 (dine-in only).
More pizza by the slice options in Tucson.
