There are plenty of food specials to be found in and around Tucson. Sure, many of them can be discovered at the national fast-food restaurant that always seems to have lines of cars wrapped around the building, but go on and break away from that crowd. Try something local instead — local doesn’t mean it’s expensive.
Comin’ in hot: Transplant Pizza’s combo specials.
Currently, the Detroit-style pizza joint at 4605 E. Speedway Blvd. has a few deals that ought to pair nicely with craft beer and classic video games, both of which can be found next door at Craft, A Modern Drinkery. They’ve even made it more convenient by allowing you to order food at the bar.
The lunch specials are available from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Monday – Friday.
There’s a lot to like about the mammoth pizzas because of the super thick crust and the mountain of toppings (depending on how you order it, that is). Then there are the sandwiches — they’re some of my favorites in Tucson. Keep scrolling to check out the lunch specials.

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.
