Monday Munchies: Lunch Specials at Rocco’s Little Chicago

Monday Munchies is supported by Botanica.

Whenever I think of a place where I can get my munch on or get munchy with my bad self, Rocco’s Little Chicago is one of the local spots that comes to mind.

Back in December, Anthony “Rocco” DiGrazia and the team at Rocco’s celebrated the restaurant’s 25th anniversary at 2707 E. Broadway Blvd. Also, the future is bright and soon the restaurant will be moving just down the street on Broadway, AKA Sunshine Mile, and into The Sol Block, which is located between Tucson Boulevard and Treat Avenue.

We’re here to talk about what’s happening right now, though! There are some incredible lunch specials at Rocco’s available daily until 4 p.m. — perfect for a serious case of the munchies.

Lunch Specials (til 4 p.m.)

  • Slice of Deep Dish Pizza ($8.99) – Up to two toppings ($0.25 for each additional topping)
  • Slice & Soup or Salad ($13.49) – Choice of vinaigrette, bleu cheese, or ranch dressing
  • Grand Illusion ($13.49) – Three hot sticks or breadsticks and a house salad
  • Souper Trooper ($13.49) – Bowl of soup and house salad
  • Bob & Pat Special ($13.49) – half sandwich and a soup or salad
  • Hale & Grady Special ($14.49) – Six wings and a soup or salad
  • Frank & Jack Special ($15.49) – Six wings and a slice of deep-dish pizza

Sometime this year, when Rocco’s relocated, they’ll eventually be neighbors with The Broadway (the sister concept to Caps & Corks), Decibel Coffee, and more. The new location is expected to have a bigger bar, more tables, a wider patio area, and a more spacious kitchen to allow DiGrazia to keep making his iconic pizzas.

Rocco’s Little Chicago is located at 2707 E. Broadway Blvd. For more information, visit roccoslittlechicago.com and follow Rocco’s on Facebook and Instagram.

More about Matt

At 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.

“Running this kitchen has been a labor of love, but the numbers just aren’t adding up anymore, and as parents, we have to make the hard choice to step back and take care of what matters most at home.”
