Pizzeria Bianco

Such a delicious dining experience. The pizza was as good as everyone says it is. Long wait (2.5) hours was extreme, but worth it for the foodie experience. After watching Chef's Table, I had to try it and I wasn't disappointed. Everything was fresh and served to order. Service was great, too.

We waited almost 3 hours to get a table. It was a beautiful day for a walk. They said they would call us when the table was open. The wait was worth it! As we discussed why this was the gold standard for wood fired pizza our conversation zeroed in on the pizza dough. We concluded that it met everything we like about what a great dough perfectly cooked would taste like, in the same pizza. It was light yet strong. The edges were properly burnt but almost ate like a great cracker. It had just the right thinness. Everything else maintained this level of excellence. Want to know more? Read more reviews hahaha! Or better yet, go there.

It's important to remember when coming to Pizzeria Bianco that it's JUST pizza. It's also probably the best pizza in the US. And definitely the best I've ever had. I arrived on a Thursday night at 8, and was told the wait would be 1 hour. I went next door and hung out on the porch of Bar Bianco. 30 minutes later, I got a text that my table was ready. I was seated quickly & waited on quickly. I looked a little at appetizers but didn't order any, they looked nice. I ordered two pizzas, the "Sonny Boy" -- Red Sauce, fresh mozzarella, salami, olives -- and the "Rosa" Both came out very quickly. Within 10 minutes of me ordering them. Both were made with the best ingredients I've ever had on a pizza. Each individual component was better than any component on any other pizza. I'm a big red sauce guy, but I had to get the one that started it all (The Rosa). For me, the Sonny Boy won out. If you prefer red pizzas, I wouldn't hesitate to order one. I'm sure all the pizzas are exceptional, and in the future, I'll order strictly based on my preference. The vibes here are immaculate, the staff is fantastic, and the place deserves its reputation. To circle back to my initial comment, it is JUST pizza. By that I mean that it's not a religious experience. It's fantastic pizza, the absolute best. I personally couldn't justify making a trip to Phoenix just to come here. For any pizza head, it's best to run, don't walk, to Pizzeria Bianco. Important to note that 9PM (or whenever closing is) is the last seating, the restaurant will be open later if you arrive. I would advise not arriving right before 9, but 8:30 should be OK.

We came here 30min before opening and there was already a line down the street. We got the last bar seats before they announced that the next table will be seated in 1.5h. The team worked together like a well oiled machine so we got our order within 25min. The pizza was as delicious as we’d hoped! Their sausage is some of the best I’ve ever had. Every ingredient is of high quality. Sitting by the bar us allowed us to watch them make pizzas and I highly recommend doing that!

Super small place kind of tucked away in a spot you wouldn’t expect, with a really old school, charming feel. We ate here for lunch after the science museum. It’s an easy walk from there but small inside, we had to leave the stroller outside. I had the market salad and tried the margarita pizza. It was good! Small menu, so look it up before you go to make sure they have something everyone will like. The service was good as well, friendly and they did a good job. The cook helped me get a good picture of the oven from a better angle. ?

I have wanted to eat here for a very long time. When my daughter came to visit, 5 of us went here for her birthday dinner. This is the only place she wanted to go. #1 - Our fault for not making reservations weeks in advance. #2 - We walked up and accepted a 1.5 - 2 hour wait time. They have a separate area that serves drinks and small plates, where you can sit and wait. You do not have to do this and no one was forcing us to do it. We chose to go in and have a drink and a few appetizers. Now they got $100 from us and we had not yet had dinner. Creative marketing, right? I say just skip it and find a place nearby to hang out. They text you when your table is ready. When you are seated, they bring bread and olive oil (although it is like a tablespoon of oil). We ordered 3 pizzas which took 45 minutes to arrive. Yes...by now we were very hungry. We had a fennel sausage pizza (very good), a pistachio pizza (more on that in a minute) and a pizza that had pepperoni on it. The Fennel Sausage was our #1 favorite. The pistachio pizza was too "nutty" and kind of weird having nuts on a pizza. When we each took bites of a piece with hardly any nuts on it, we realized the cheese and flavors were so outstanding that it did not need nuts at all. We would like one of those pizzas to be on the menu by itself (no nuts). Okay...so my overall score of 3 stars is because I think the place is grossly overrated and has insane marketing that makes everyone want to go here. I do understand gourmet pizzas and like them a lot. Not impressed. The final straw was when the waiter took our empty plates, as well as our still full water glasses and the water bottle from our table! What? We were finished eating but not ready to get up and leave. We did not overly linger - this happened pretty much when the last slice was eaten. Pretty rude. Rethink your dining choice.

Best pizza ever!! We have traveled all over and this pizza is our #1 favorite! We vote it better than NY pizza hands down. Fresh toppings. Thin yet soft crust. Perfectly seasoned and amount of sauce. Cooked to perfection. Melt in your mouth goodness!

We had a party of 8 and were seated in a reasonable amount of time. Our server was Bianca. We had a couple people with dietary concerns (gluten free) and there wasn’t really anything for them except for two dishes. And when asked if anything on the menu could be modified, it was pretty limited or no changes could depending on the dish. Our server didn’t seemed too thrilled to be serving us or answering our questions. Over the course of our lunch the server warmed up a little and overall ended on a generally neutral note. At the end of the day, we wouldn’t come here again. The food we did have was delicious! Especially the fresh mozzarella. I hope this was just an “off” day but we left less than satisfied.
