Places to Eat

Oregano’s Pizza Bistro

This where John used to work. This is not your average 'Crap on Wall' restaurant. This is your ABOVE average 'Crap on the Wall' PIZZA restaurant. The food is good and you get a lot of it.

4900 E. Speedway

Frog 'n' Firkin

This is where John used to drink beers on sunny days and eat really tasty pizza on the patio. Down by the U of A, the Frog 'n' Firkin is highly recommended for lunch and people watching. They usually have a bluegrass band on the patio for Friday Happy Hour.

874 E University Blvd,

Little Café Poca Cosa

This is the best place in town to eat! The catch is that they are only open for breakfast and lunch Monday-Friday (Close at 2:00pm) This tiny place is located next to the main library in downtown Tucson, they only take cash and you can't sit more than 5 people to table but with that said it's well worth it.

151 N. Stone

Gaslight Theatre

This is a great place for dinner and a show. They serve Grandma Tony's pizza while you cheer heros and boo villians in a vaudville style play. It's a super fun time but you may need to book tickets in advance.

8771 E Broadway Blvd
