There’s a lot happening on Main Gate Square — a spot where you can get a caffeine jolt, local brews, crafty cocktails, and hearty meals to keep one foot in front of the other.
Since the late ’90s, No Anchovies at 870 E. University Blvd. has been a go-to spot for pizza-by-the-slice and fun vibes. It’s a hit with students and locals, and it isn’t hard to see why — good pizza, good prices, and it’s open late (until 2 a.m. on certain nights).
On the Menu
Over the years, renovations were made: ownership added a second story with a bar, state-of-the-art sound system, games, patio, etc. The menu has changed along the way, too, and continues to add new slices. For example, there’s a chicken and waffle pizza, for example.
However, you’ll still find classics on the menu like the Pepperoni Deluxe — a 16-inch whopper topped with mozzarella, pepperoni, pepperoni cups, ricotta cheese, and more pepperoni. The Hot Wing pizza is what it sounds like: Buffalo chicken, ranch dressing, grated blue cheese, and mozzarella.
If you’re craving hot wings minus the pizza dough, No Anchovies has you covered (bone-in and boneless) with sauces like Cajun, garlic parmesan, honey hot, sweet chili, and more.
Also, bring your dancing shoes in the evenings (Thursday, Friday, and Saturday) No Anchovies, which was once a former ballerina studio, turns into a nightclub. You can even reserve a VIP table.
No Anchovies is located at 870 E. University Blvd. on Main Gate Square. For more information, visit noanchoviesaz.com and follow No Anchovies 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.
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.
