Nearly two years ago, Little Love Burger opened its doors to downtown eaters and beyond. Today, the burger joint announced that it’s permanently closing up shop and the last day will be Sunday, June 18.
The restaurant shared the following on Instagram:
“Tucson, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Sunday will be the last day to enjoy one of our mouthwatering burgers! After serving you with love for several years, we hand the keys to the sacred 312 E. Congress St. space to Gabriel and Vivian Moreno, of Jaime’s Pizza Kitchen. A multigenerational Tucson family business since 1989, Jaime’s Pizza Kitchen will be opening soon, serving amazing traditional pizza, wings, and salads.”
With that being said, Moreno has a long history of working in the local culinary scene. With the encouragement of his wife, Vivian; the help of longtime team member, Travis Holloway, who’s worked with him since the Italian Peasant days; “and my grandfather’s approval, of course,” Gabriel created Jaime’s Pizza Kitchen, a pizzeria with a catering component.
Stay tuned for more details on when Jaime’s Pizza Kitchen will take over the space and meanwhile, read our May 2023 article, “Family Ties & Craft Pies.”
Little Love Burger is located at 312 E. Congress St. For more information, follow Little Love Burger on Instagram.

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.
