Delicious pizza and salad in an unassuming, quaint atmosphere. We tried the Sonny Boy and the Wise Guy and shared the salad special. Absolutely perfect sauce! I'd prefer a few more olives on the Sonny Boy as not even every slice had 1 olive. The wood fire perfection can't be beat. Try for yourself! It's pricey but delicious. This isn't mass produced but rather quality, handmade pizza with quality ingredients. A small personal pizza is around $24.00 so don't count on leaving without spending at least $130-150 for a party of 4. Service was exceptional. read more

I have been wanting to try this place when I travel into Phoenix but never got a chance since they don't do takeout. I was able to get here around 6pm and was sat at the bar quickly. Cute place with indoor seating and an outdoor patio. The bartender was very nice and attentive. I ordered the market salad which was diced navel oranges with fennel. It was different but so fresh and good! It was big enough for 2-3 people. I also got the Margherita pizza. This is more of a smaller personal size but I ate about 2/3 of it! I love a thin crust and it was delicious. The mozzarella that was used was also really good. It was a bit pricey for the size of the pizza though. I hope to venture back here to try a pasta dish! read more

I always forget this is here and have only been to the downtown location previously so I was happy to try this spot. Everything was really good and it was easy to find a seat, so it's a great alternative to downtown. The Caesar salad was fresh and delicious. It was a great complement to the pizza. I tried the pistachio pizza, the Rosa Pizza, because I've heard about it often but still hadn't tried it. I really liked it but didn't wouldn't place it above the other pizzas they offer. They are all good. read more

Service was awesome. Despite reviews I'd read saying it's busy at all times of the day/week, we came in the early afternoon to a mostly empty restaurant. While it's hard to not enjoy pizza, I did find this generally lacking in flavor. The sauce and crust were under salted. The sausage was lacking spice. I'll be honest, I eat a lot of Neapolitan pizza, and this wasn't one of the better ones. read more

I first heard about this place from my aunt, a serious foodie who raved about it years ago when the owner first started making pizzas. As a huge pistachio fan, I had to try the Rosa pizza--and it did not disappoint. It's rich and packed with a unique, memorable flavor. Just a heads-up: if you're planning to get an appetizer, save some room. The pizza is so rich I could only manage one slice! This was actually my third visit. They start you off with fresh bread and a special oil that's seriously next-level--I could've just sipped the oil, it was that good. We also tried the seasonal appetizer of navel oranges and fennel, which was super refreshing and delicious. I highly recommend this spot for a pizza night or a casual date night. The vibe is relaxed but has cool lighting and some really unique artwork that adds to the charm. read more

We had just watched the episode on Netflix for Pizzeria Bianco & were extra excited to try this restaurant. We'd made reservations weeks before for an early dinner at 6pm. We arrived & were seated promptly outside as it was a nice evening. Drinks came pretty quickly and our pizzas arrived promptly shortly afterwards. Our first bites were so quiet and we simply took in the experience and savored it. It was just a lovely experience and our friend from out of town loved it. Definitely a must try for any Pizza enthusiasts!! read more

Pizzeria Bianco absolutely lives up to its reputation as one of the best pizzas in the country. I was in Arizona for work and made a point to visit the original location, and it did not disappoint. The pizza is thin, deeply flavorful, and unmistakably its own, simple on the surface, but incredibly memorable once you start eating. Everything is balanced and intentional, from the dough to the toppings to the bake. This is the kind of pizza that reminds you why Bianco is so respected. If you're anywhere near Phoenix, this is a must-stop and a place that stays with you long after the last slice. read more

I've had this place bookmarked ever since Chef David Chang said that Chris Bianco makes one of the best pizzas out there. I even purchase these pizzas on goldbelly so I was delighted that I found myself in the area and could snag a ressie on open table. We had the salad which had potato, chicken, lettuce salads and it was totally homemade and comforting; the potatoes were still warm! The pistachio and mesclun pizzas both did not disappoint and the bolognese pasta was great. We arrived 10 minutes before our 12pm ressie, and were nearly done eating by 12:30pm, so needless to say the food comes out quick! read more

Heard about this place from the Netflix show and had to try it. We ordered the Homemade Mozarrella, which you could tell it was made with lots of love, the Margharita, which they dont use marinara sauce, and the Rosa, which came with pistachios on-top. Who would have though Pisatchios on pizza, but it works, unlike pineapple on Hawaiian pizza. read more

I had just left my podiatrist's office with my husband and was looking for a restaurant called Travolla. We couldn't find it so I saw Pizzeria Bianco and said to my husband, "Hey let's go here! I haven't been here in at least 20 years!" Come to find out the restaurant that I was looking for was under construction and is owned by Chris Bianco as well. It's actually located right next-door to Pizzeria Bianco. Anyway, my husband had never had the pizza here, so he was in for a treat! There is a reason that Chris Bianco is the king of wood-fire pizza! It was fantastic! The crust was thin and crispy! We also shared a salad that reminded me of a Caesar salad, but the dressing was a balsamic. It was light and refreshing! My husband was still talking about the pizza two days later! Great place for pizza and salad! read more

Pizzeria Bianco - Sorry! I forgot to take a pic before we started eating! - Italian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

The pizza was pretty close to some of the best pizza I've had! We couldn't decide between two pizzas and the server suggested we do half and half. Fabulous idea! Half Sonny Boy and Half Biancoverde! The little gem salad to start and the market pasta was the perfect combination of fresh and decadent. We finished our meal with pistachio gelato that I would have called ice cream (tasty as it was) and mid rice pudding. We sat on the patio surrounded by delicious smells and a cool breeze that made the experience that much better. Our server was a delight and was ready with refills and excellent suggestions. We will definitely add Pizzeria Bianco to our list every time we come to the area. read more

We FINALLY made it to Pizzeria Bianco back in November after a little over two years of living in the Valley. We had family visiting from out of town and their one request was to try Pizzeria Bianco. We were out exploring Phoenix and decided to call the other location and this one to check on the wait time. To our pleasant surprise, this location didn't have a wait! Their lunch rush had just passed. We were seated right away. The ambiance is cozy and laid back. The space is pretty big and offers plenty of seating indoor and out. Since it was a beautiful day, we requested to sit outside on the patio. Hungry, we couldn't wait to place an order. It didn't take us long to decide on the following: Seasonal salad Rosa $23 Wiseguy $26 Biancoverde $24 Margherita $22 Was their pizza the best I've ever had? Probably not, but they were absolutely delicious! The Rosa was my favorite followed by the Margherita, which we ordered to take home. The seasonal salad was also another favorite of mine. Service was fast and friendly. Pizzeria Bianco is definitely worth a try and I would definitely return! read more

Very good pizza, apps were excellent too. Salad was great. Second time at this location. Lighting is weird and difficult, very dark in our corner. The first time we were outside. This time inside in a corner. The pistachio pizza was really dry this time, half the table thought the food had slipped, half thought it was as good as last time. read more

Dinner with family! My sister saw a show on Netflix that said this was the #1 pizza place in the country, therefore we had to try it out. It is located in a strip mall area so plenty of parking and since there is a wait, it's a good way to kill some time shopping. Took us about 45 min of waiting but they will text your phone when your table is ready. When I got the text, our whole party arrived together as requested by the hostess, but instead on immediately seating us, we waited a few minutes as she continued to take reservations for other people. We got seated and I gave to say I really enjoyed the ambiance. We were seated inside where they gave dim lighting and real candles lit and we were under a chandelier surrounded by paintings. We figured out quickly what pizzas we wanted which happened to be the Rosa (our favorite with pistachios on top) and the Margherita pizza. My sister was telling me that Chef Chris Bianco spices all the ingredients locally, so pretty much farm to table. I knew it was going to be good based on that. The pizzas are wood fired. The prices are reasonable for the quality of pizza and the pizzas only come in 12 in size with 6 slices each. The waiter came up and just about gave me a heart attack because he was yelling right in my ear. To be fair, it was quite loud in there. We had two young kids with us that didn't care for pizza but they really don't have any other kid friendly options except for spaghetti with either tomato sauce, butter, or I believe it was a white sauce. The kids were mostly interested in butter and pasta. We also ordered two diet sodas. The waiter came back with an appetizer of sliced bread and olive oil. I was surprised no vinegar as well. But still it was delicious with a crunchy outside ave soft inside. We guessed that the chef probably makes his own olive oil too. The waiter also brought out two cups of ice and two cans of soda. I thought this was kind of lame as nothing kills an experience than going to the back to get two cans of soda you bought from a grocery store and handing those same cans to your customer. They should at least pour it into the cup and bring it out. The pizzas finally came out but there was barely any room to put them on the table. The waiter just pushed around plates and cups to squeeze it in and didn't bother removing the extra plates we didn't need anymore. The pizzas themselves were spot on though. Simply delicious and quality. The crust was perfect. Light, crispy outside, chewy inside. The olive oil on the crust. Yummy! So yes, probably my in my top 10 around the USA. Is it the best in the US? I'm gonna say no. I can say that with confidence as I've tried several quality pizzas in the US and several crappy ones. The best is always subjective though. Is it very good? Yes! Do yourself a favor and try it and make your own determination. Overall a good experience. We came in on a Friday night at 6 pm which is probably their peak time, but that's always a good test of the service. read more

Off day, service was mediocre and same for the food. Can't cut the meatball sandwich into thirds but can cut in half?? Makes no sense and totally lazy. Asked for a steak knife didn't come and asked again and was a tinier knife than the butter knives on the table. No Bloody Mary? Chef definitely not in the house today. Or he would have been disappointed. Moved here last summer and came to Bianco and thought it was legit Napolitana style. I agree with Portoy's score. But we both prefer more nyc style so not the same. Olio e peu- napolitana style my favorite nyc. Been to tons of pizza in nyc, haven't been to Bianco there yet, will give it a try. This location needs to try harder. read more

Ate a late lunch at the bar. Had the seasonal mozzarella that had some spectacular peppers. Fresh mozzarella might be a B- in the northeast but is probably an A+ in the desert. Pizza was also the best I've had in the valley. A northeasterner might not consider it the most spectacular pizza ever, but it'll be respected as solid by anyone. Flavors were good enough that I want to explore the menu more. That's probably the best compliment I can give a new place. Service 10/10. read more

Definitely coming back for more delicious dishes and also score an outdoor seating in this gorgeous weather days. read more

I love pizza from my head tomatoes. ;) An unprecedented approach to ingredients and technique has made Chris Bianco's Phoenix pizzeria the home of what critics deem the best pies in the world. Rosa ($23 - Red onion, parmesan, rosemary, AZ pistachios): Did you not read the description? This pizza is DIVINE! It's my favorite here at Pizzeria Bianco. That parmesan is so salty and granular. I love the crunch the pistachio gives and that rosemary is subtle but fragrant. This isn't your typical pizza and you won't miss the lack of meat. I order this every time. Wiseguy ($26 - Wood-roasted onion, house smoked mozzarella, fennel sausage): The Wiseguy is everything you want in a pie. The house-made mozzarella is delicious and the fennel sausage is a flavor explosion. It's a straight-forward and simplistic pie that'll have you mm-mmming after every bite! Artisan Spaghetti ($18 - Bianco DiNapoli Pomodoro + Basil) + Four Meatballs ($??): I haven't had a chance to try their pasta until this last visit and wow. I've been missing out! If you're a Honey Boo Boo fan, with her "sketti" and a sauce made of equal parts ketchup and butter, this dish is not for you. The Artistan Spaghetti is perfectly al dente, the bright acidic tomatoes, and those tender soft meatballs... Wow! Get some fresh parmesan grated on top and buon appetito! What else can be said? Chris Bianco is brilliant. It's no wonder how he has won a James Beard Foundation Award for best Southwest Chef and no small feat that Pizzeria Bianco is named one of the best pizzerias in the country by Bon Appétit. Pizzeria Bianco was also featured on Netflix's "Chef's Table: Pizza." There's a reason why I always suggest Pizzeria Bianco to anyone visiting this beautiful city of ours. read more

I was blown away by the concept of a pistachio pizza, but the execution was so greasy that I cannot say it's a must-order dish.

Stopped into the Camelback East location of Pizzeria Bianco for lunch and it was a great experience. The interior is super cute and cozy, and the service was both fast and friendly. I absolutely loved the Little Gem salad. It was incredibly fresh and flavorful. For the main, I got the Rosa pizza, which was good, featuring that signature light, crispy crust you expect, though it was just "okay" for me. Overall, it's a good spot for a staple of the Phoenix pizza scene. read more

First off, very good service. However, the pizza was VERY disappointing. The crust on the Margherita pizza was floppy and there couldn't be any less mozzarella if it was painted on. The Rosa was better, at least the crust wasn't soft and floppy. Nothing special about the taste of the crust and the ingredients. Definitely not worth the hype. Wines by the glass, draft beers and bottled bears each cost at least a fourth more than they should. Also, when making an OpenTable reservation, why ask if it's a special occasion when there is no acknowledgement at the restaurant. There is much better pizza to be found in Phoenix. read more

Incredible pizza in a relaxed "diner" vibe. The prosciutto-wrapped fontina is to die for! Delicious skewers of gently melted cheese with tasty prosciutto and a touch of rosemary over a bed of arugula was heavenly. The house-made mozzarella is fresh and delicious with huge flavorful basil leaves. The "Rosa" Pizza is an artful combination of crushed pistachios and red onions with bold parmigiana flavor, with no tomato sauce to interest with the subtle flavors. Watch how this chef searched relentlessly for perfect ingredients in the Netflix "Chef's Table Pizza" season 1 episode 1. read more

Great food, good ambiance, and nice service. You can grab a drink at their bar next store while you wait for your table.

I absolutely love Pizzeria Bianco. We stopped in before going to the Chris Brown concert. Picked because it was close to Chase Stadium. The staff are super friendly and the food is always good. I thought this was a new spot for me, but I visited a long time ago. Still the same. Small intimate setting that makes you feel like you're in a trendy pizza shop with the locals. I will definitely visit again. read more

Went here with some colleagues after a conference. I was in Pheonix for work and was excited to try something new. My colleague made a reservation for 4, and said it was pretty hard to get. Ambiance here was very cute. Dark and romantic, probably would be nice for a date. We are were greeted quickly and decide to split several dishes so we could try a variety of things. We had we tried the market salad, mozzarella, Pappardelle, margarita pizza and the wise guy pizza. All the food was delicious. It had been a long day so we took dessert to go. I had the tres leches. Sadly it was a little dry. Since I don't live in the area I will likely not go back. But it was def worth it and was delicious! read more

This is some phenomenal pizza here. Service is always welcoming and the restaurant is cozy. Sauce isn't over done with spices and you can tell the cheese is made fresh. The crust is never burnt and always has just the right amount of chew and crisp. The Pappardelle Bolognese is probably the best bolognese i have had at any restaurant out here. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a solid pie. The wait here also is never crazy like downtown. Even good takeout. Pizza holds up well in transit. read more

We came here because it was highly recommended & because of Chris Bianco. Well it may have been great at one time, but not like we were expecting. The Hostess was quite rude and not accommodating at all. The floor manager was actually so disappointing and definitely not nice or caring at all. The pizza was good not great. Meatballs mediocre And fontina prosciutto skewers were good . Our server Selena E was the BEST part of our experience. We were a party of 8 and hostess said 40 minute wait, we asked if we separated how long she said 30 minutes. The outside seating had only one tabletop seated the rest empty. My husband has low sugar so she sat 2 of us in five minutes and said she would try to seat the others near us. The back room she sat us in had only four tabletops sat, the rest of room was empty. Servers were not busy. See photo. We definitely could have sat together. She seated our family 30 minutes later across the room from us and we were told we couldn't sit with them although all tables adjacent were empty. When we' were done we tried to speak to both the host & floor manager Both of them could have cared less that they ruined our time. The way the manager handled things was maybe the worst management I've encountered. I told him we would let the owner know, and our review would reflect his treatment & attitude He said "thank you". Wow! We owned our own restaurant and know this is not how to treat your customers. We will not be back. This place is not worth your time. The experience was definitely disappointing. This was not the Chris Bianco expectation. read more

Pizzeria Bianco - Many empty tables on both sides of our two top - Italian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We first tried Pizzeria Bianco in DTLA and loved it! We were in the Phoenix area and had to get our pizza fix here. We love their pizza crust! Their pizza crust is amazing! We got the Wise Guy and Sonny Boy without olives, I prefer the Sonny Boy. The handmade mozzarella is made in house, so it is as fresh as can be. If you can believe it... their tres leches is better than the Porto's tres leches. It's topped with this incredible nut crumble. You have to try it. Get it with an americano, then get a spoonful of the tres leches and dip it in the Americano and it evens out the sweetness of the tres leches and the coffee. At the end, your coffee will become a delicious tres leches latte! The service here was great. They were so sweet. This place is a little hidden, but it's here in the plaza next to Trader Joe's, to the left of TJ's in the alleyway. Parking was no issue. Plenty of parking. read more

TLDR: High Hopes, Soggy Crust Pizzeria Bianca boasts high-quality ingredients, but unfortunately, the execution falls short of expectations. The menu highlights fresh mozzarella, vibrant San Marzano tomatoes, and premium toppings, all of which promise a gourmet pizza experience. However, the final product disappoints--each slice is weighed down by a soggy, limp crust that lacks the crisp bite one expects from a well-made pie. The atmosphere doesn't help either. The dim lighting and drab interior create a gloomy ambiance that feels more uninviting than cozy. While some might appreciate a rustic aesthetic, the space feels uninspired and lacking warmth. In a desperate attempt to salvage our slices, we did what any native New Yorker would do--hit it with a generous shake of red pepper flakes and Parmesan. But no amount of spice could crisp up that crust. At that point, we were just seasoning our disappointment. Despite its commitment to top-tier ingredients, Pizzeria Bianca struggles with delivering a satisfying pizza with enough crunch. With improvements to their dough and interior, it could be a standout spot--but for now, it's a missed opportunity. Service itself was spot on and attentive would rate that a 5/5, one of the jobs done well read more

Came with a group of 4 on a Saturday for a late-ish lunch (12:30pm). Thought we'd have to wait, but were seated inside immediately. Our waiter was very friendly, bringing us waters to start. We started with the handmade mozzarella, which came with sliced cherry tomatoes, basil, and a drizzle of olive oil. Very simple but tasty. This was accompanied by complimentary bread, which came in handy to make lil' caprese sandwiches and mop up olive oil. We split the Margherita and Wise Guy, which was a nice balance between a pizza with and without red sauce. Our waiter let us know the latter pizza (Wise Guy) did not have red sauce, which was thoughtful. Wise Guy came with a significantly large burnt boil, but it shattered easily and was quickly discarded. Crust was nice and chewy, and toppings were fresh. Overall, worth a visit. Ended being ~$77 after tip, so split between 4 people it was an extremely reasonable but light lunch. My 2 friends visiting from NYC said it's better than most pizzas they've had in the city (likely factoring in waiting time and price). Bonus if you see their resident orange cat around, usually lounging in the potted plant by the host stand. read more

Pizzeria Bianco - Rosa, Margherita Pizza, Biancoverde Pizza - Italian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I love Pizzeria Bianco. The first thing I do when I go to Phoenix is make reservations here. I've been frequenting the restaurant for a while and the service and hospitality is always excellent. The pizza is hands down my favorite. The quality of the ingredients are fresh. The tomato sauce isn't too acidic and it's not too sweet. It's perfect. The dough/crust is on the thinner side but that's what I enjoy. My favorite style to order is the Margherita. The simplicity of the style mixed with the freshness of the ingredients is a perfect 10/10 in my book. The restaurant itself feels like a classic Italian vibe with a huge pizza oven at the entrance that sets the tone. Definitely recommend Pizzeria Bianco if you're in the Phoenix area. read more
