Pizzeria Bianco is my all time favorite pizza place in Arizona! I have been here many times, and every single time I enjoy it immensely. I always get their Sunny Boy pizza and add mushrooms on top, and it is perfection. The location I usually go to is the one in downtown Phoenix, and it is always super busy on the weekends, so be prepared to wait a couple of hours. This time I went on a weekday though, and there was no wait, which was so nice! The service is always great. Everyone is super kind and attentive. The ambiance is so fun too. It has this little quaint vibe, plus there's outdoor seating which makes it a really fun experience. Fair warning though, outdoor seating can get super hot during Arizona summers. Overall, the food is amazing. It really tastes like authentic Italian pizza. I also highly recommend the antipasto, but it is only available in the afternoon, so if you go for lunch it will not be on the menu. They change it up all the time, and they even have a fresh garden in the back. It is definitely my favorite dish there!
Started with local organic greens salad. Was good, fresh but a bit salty and dry, came with olives which were good. Also shared 2 pizzas with my friend, the margarita and marinera. The marinera came with garlic and no cheese. That was good. We added mushrooms and olives. The ingredients for fresh but the pizzas were a bit bland flavor-wise. The dough and crust were delicious as waa the marinara sauce. No lemons or lime and wouldn't allow separate checks. Didn't love that Apprec the side of bread that came upon seating.
We first discovered this pizzeria on Chef's Table on Netflix, and when we planned a road trip to New Mexico, we decided to make a stop in Arizona just to try it. It was absolutely worth it. We were truly impressed, and we especially loved the Rosa pizza it was incredible. In fact, we loved it so much that we now make our own version at home all the time! The wait was about two hours, but we completely understood because the place was very busy and they don't take reservations. The atmosphere, the quality of the food, and the experience made it all worthwhile. We're big fans of Chef Bianco and are so glad we made the trip. Highly recommend to anyone who loves amazing pizza! We plan on coming back!
Fantastic experience from start to finish. Came here with a coworker for dinner. The pizzas are customizable, but everything off the menu looks amazing too. Traditional neapolitan style crust baked in a wood fire oven. The dough is soft and crispy at the same time. I ordered the Rosa pizza with an olive oil base, parmesan, red onion, and pistachio. Great flavor! Service is very friendly and attentive. My coworker ordered a pizza with sausage on it and another pepperoni pizza to go. Casual spot, but has a feel like you're visiting someone's home. Very warm and inviting. 100000% will be back my next time in Phoenix.
We had heard a lot about Pizzeria Bianco, from both locals and all the media attention that it has gotten. We had tried to visit before, but encountered long waits and left. We lucked out this time. We were seated inside right away. We weren't that hungry, so we ordered two pizzas for the three of us--a Biancoverde and a Margherita. They were both yummy, although I thought the price was high. I will say that I have a real love affair with other Bianco restaurants--Pane Bianco is AH-MAY-ZING, and so is Tratto. This place definitely comes in third for me.
Came in for dinner and had to wait about 40 minutes, but don't worry, next door is Bar Bianco which is in a cute little house! First off this place is super small and we opted to sit outside, but not a big deal when you're in Phoenix and it's 68 at 8pm in February lol! We ordered an app: antipasto and also had the mozzarella salad which was amazing and apologies I didn't get any pics, was too busy eating haha! The roasted veggies are so amazing and literally some of the best I have had, simple yet so good! We then ordered the pizza: wiseguy, margarita, and the sonny boy. Now, you have heard of wood fire, but these pies are next level with flavor and perfection. Service was friendly and the star of the show was this big fluffy cat. Not sure the name, but this one is chonky and makes for great relaxing environment! Definitely check this place out. Worth the wait! PSA: Parking lot can get packed as it serves a couple restaurants in the area.
Very good pizza, but pricey because of all the hype. I was told I HAD to come here while in Phoenix, and while I enjoyed the pizza, I don't think you're committing any sort of crime if you skip this stop. I had a Margherita pizza for $22, which came out to almost $30 after tax and tip. Personally, I think that's a little crazy for a small, 1 person pizza! This was the best wood fired pizza I've had, but not by miles, and I wouldn't pay that much to have it a second time. There's often also a long wait here - I avoided it by going early and alone, and watched many people get turned away while I ate. Overall, I'm glad I tried this place and give it 5 stars for an excellent meal. However, I still think it's overhyped and wouldn't say it's a phoenix essential.
Was passing thru and decided to stop and see what the hype was all about. It definitely doesn't disappoint. Excellent pizza and the mozzarella salad was excellent. Staff seemed busy but the service was decent. Fairly busy but I was seated at the bar and taken care of... it's said this is best pizza in the nation. And however is it really good... it's definitely not the best.. that title I believe belongs to Tony Gemiganai out in San Francisco but it is excellent pizza. Give it a try
I finally tried Pizzeria Bianco - five stars! We dropped in for a weekday lunch, and as expected, there was a short wait. Luckily, their neighboring bar-in a restored home-has a fully bar (but not many inventive non-alc options). We went across the way to a Mexican eater for Topos and iced teas. First available seating was outside, and the weather was perfect. We started with Farmers Market Salad-which was a mediterranean-style salad with cucumbers, olives, feta, and lovely EVOO dressing-along with the Local Greens Salad with balsamic vinaigrette, and bianco bread with said lovely EVOO for dipping. For the 'zas, we got the Rosa made with red onion, parm, rosemary, and pistachio. Inventive! though the table favorite was the Bianco Verde with fresh mozz, parm, ricotta, and arugula. I'm more of a margarita gal, so I wish I would have tried that one too. The bread was perfection-chewy, crispy where necessary, and again, that EVOO. Just top quality ingredients. Now, would I wait hours for this pie? No. It's great, but I'd rather go during non-peak hours and wait 20 min for a table 45 max.
Listen, this is delicious pizza - but you're going to have to jump through some hoops to get it. I'm from New York, so I'm used to the fanfare that comes with getting good pizza (Lucali I'm looking at you). No matter what time you arrive here, you're looking at a wait. I've been one of the first on line when it opens. I've come here at 3 pm thinking the rush is done. There is no gaming the system here. Come here prepared to wait. On my most recent visit we were quoted around an hour wait time, and decided to head over to their bar next door. The bartender at said bar is super nice, but can't make a cocktail to save his life. My aperol spritz was flat. My hugo spritz had none of the hugo spritz components it should come with. These drinks were not only disappointing but also not cheap. Finally though, our table was ready and we made it to the bar seats at Pizzeria Bianco. We ordered the Rosa which is a must, and the Biancoverde. The Rosa is topped with pistachios, red onion and rosemary. It's a delicious white pie. The Biancoverde, also a white pie, was good as well. The fresh arugula cuts through the ricotta and mozzarella. Ambiance wise it's kind of industrial on the inside, made cozy by the warm glow of the visible brick pizza oven. If you're in Phoenix, want pizza and have time to wait, this is the spot.

The reputation of this place is high, so will the expectations be met? Came on a triple digit summer, lucky it wasn't too long a wait, hostess said 30-40' but we lucked out and only 10'. One can go to the bar Bianco next door to chill on the triple digit days or wander to the Museum next door till the text of your table availability. Small, cozy interior with but one oven, probably explains why they don't expand, keep it small the lines and waits long and make people wilt in the Phoenix summers for the opportunity of eating in a Netflix featured restaurant, LOL. The Margarita basic was amazing, crust and toppings were perfect. Minus one star for the valet, he extorted 10 buck from us!! A little steep, one can park for less and walk 3-5' in the scorching sun. Shouldn't be extorting 10bucks! The pizza was good, that good? It's pizza, I'd not wait 40' for it, especially in this environment but it was darn good pizza! read more
I am not only obsessed with the Sonny Boy pizza here but also the location and the staff. They are all wonderful and very friendly. The location is so so cute. It's perfect for a nice little date and to have a walk through the science museum since it's steps away. Try it!!!! You will love it! read more

This place has good pizza and wine options. The service was good. Valet parking for $10 so it's best to walk or park further away. Be prepared to wait over an hour for a table for dinner. They have cute outdoor cats. read more

Visited: Friday lunch | Heritage Square, Phoenix, AZ An excellent option if you're downtown for a museum or event. Great food, friendly service, and a laid-back vibe - but be prepared to wait. Location Pizzeria Bianco is tucked into Heritage Square, a charming and walkable part of downtown Phoenix. It's perfect if you're visiting nearby museums. We had just enough time to tour the Rosson House while waiting for our table. Food We tried two of their signature pizzas: Rosa - This is a standout! No tomato sauce, but I didn't miss it. The parmigiano reggiano and AZ pistachios bring so much flavor and texture. A really unique pie. Wiseguy - Also sauce-free, with smoky, aromatic notes from the roasted onions and wood-fired crust. Very flavorful. I was curious how it might taste with tomato sauce, but it didn't need it. Portion note - The pizzas are on the smaller side. Plan for one per person, unless you're getting a few small plates or salads to share. Lemon cookies - Bright, lemony, and not too sweet. A great finish. There were 4 in the bag, so I took some home with me! Mango iced tea - Freshly brewed and unsweetened with a strong, natural mango flavor. Service They took our number on arrival and gave us an accurate ~1 hour wait time at 1pm. We got a text when our table was ready. You can wait at Bar Bianco next door if you want a drink while you wait. We were seated at the bar, and the service was attentive and efficient throughout. They offered a refill of my iced tea. Ambiance Casual and comfortable, not too loud, and easy to carry a conversation. Great for a relaxed meal. Cost $67.34 for two people. It's not cheap - think premium artisan pizzas. But the quality and creativity make it worth it. Overall: Unique pizzas with quality ingredients and great service in the heart of downtown. 5 stars for the Rosa pizza alone. Highly recommend! read more

This was the first place we went to after flying in, I was super excited to try Bianco and like so many others we came because we saw it on Netflix. My local friends recommended some other places but I felt like I had to experience Pizzeria Bianco at the original location. We arrived at 11:37 and the wait was 1 hour and 10 minutes. By 12:30 the wait was already 2 hours. There is a bar next door to burn time and the plaza also has a free small museum and larger children's musem. The menu has some of the more experimental pizzas removed and those were the ones we wanted to try the most. I would say whats left on the menu is the most accessible choices but I wanted to try the carrot and apricot pizza. Margherita Pizza: This was our favorite, a classic and tasty but slightly dry. Sonny Boy: The kids loved this one; Tomato Sauce, Fresh Mozzarella, Salami, and Gaeta Olives. Biancoverde: The last 3 pizzas on the menu were the no-sauce ones and I left like we had to try it. This one was closer to a flatbread for us and because there was no sauce and not much cheese it tasted dry and plain. We were using toppings that fell off the other pizzas to make this one taste better. read more

My 2nd time here and I'm a fan other than the prices. Lol. I love the vibe at the downtown location. Definitely quieter in the summertime. No wait, but most of the tables were full. Great selection of wine. The staff are friendly and you can tell they all get along so well. I love that I can walk here even in the heat. Lol. read more
The wait was about 15 minutes on a Saturday. Valet parking is available adjacent to the restaurant for $10. There is an air conditioned waiting area in the building next door and you can order alcoholic drinks while waiting for your table. The dining area is very small and there were picnic table outside. Service was quick and friendly. Water and complimentary bread with olive oil was brought as soon as we sat down. We shared the farmers market salad It was delicious with fresh peaches. We also shared the Sonny boy pizza. It was too greasy for me from the salami and my companion thought it was too salty. read more
Came on a Friday night around 7:00 pm. We drove around for about 20 minutes to find street parking but ended up just valeting the car because it was crazy busy. The host estimated our wait time at 3 hours but assured us it should be no more than 2 hours. We waited next door at their separate bar, which was a great spot with games and drinks you could order while you wait. The host even checked on us over at the bar and kindly moved us up in line, so we ended up waiting only about an hour before being seated. This place is a cute, casual date night spot with great vibes! It has a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for enjoying a laid-back evening. Our server was friendly and quick, bringing us water right away and taking our order. The pizzas came out in no more than 10 minutes, and we loved both of them. We would say the margarita pizza was our favorite out of the two, but honestly, both were super tasty and hit the spot! Definitely a place we'd return to. read more
thought love was only true in fairy tales... Then I saw her face, now I'm a believer... Not a trace of doubt in my mind I'm in love... I'm a believer, I couldn't leave her if I tried... In love we were with Pizzeria Bianco... We shared the pizza "ROSA" w. Red Onion, Parmigiano Reggiano, Rosemary, and AZ Pistachios...So delicioussss with every bite. Simply the best Pi in town. Washed down with glasses of Nebbiolo Wine...so good.. We had the pleasure to chat and hang for a bit w... Chris Bianco the head Pi Guru..:) A fun lunch for these Baby Boomers..:) Not a trace of doubt in my mind Said, I'm a believer, I'm a Believer..Yeah, Yeah! As we believe we tasted Pizza Nirvana at Pizzeria Bianco..:) Best, Avram Munkeeys Jr. read more
Honestly, this place is just okay. There's a lot of hype around it, likely because of its feature on Chef's Table, but if you've had really good Italian pizza before, you'll probably find it a bit underwhelming. The ambiance was good and the service friendly. While the dough had a good texture, it lacked depth of flavor, and the cheese was surprisingly bland. The pistachio pizza was interesting, but that was the only thing that really stood out. Overall, it's not a bad spot, but it definitely was not the best pizza ever. read more

Wow what can I say.. We stopped in for lunch, the parking near by is valet very convenient. We were greeted with smiles sat quickly. This ambiance is rustic, Tuscany vibes I absolutely love it being a native to AZ goes well with the area. The food was absolutely fantastic, I watched Chris Bianco on Netflix Chefs table and had to try it. The bread was so fluffy, but yet crispy light and airy and the flavors complimented eachother well on the pizzas we had. Sonny boy, and Margherita. Dessert was rice pudding with blueberry jam so tasty, and some lemon cookies. You have to try, very light and airy. I felt just right after I left. read more

I would have given this amazing pizzeria 5 stars had it not been for an awful attitude by the waitress, who refused to alternate ingredients on any pizza i asked about, would t give me bread to taste unless I ordered a salad...that is not appropriate. Otherwise the pizzas r spot on amazing - the crunch of the dough is memorable and the ingredients r surely 1st class. The atmosphere is great as its buzzing and the service is fast overall. I think this spot matches any pizzeria in the USA for taste. Bravo Pizzeria Bianco. read more
Very good for yhe 2.5 year wait, finally made it to this historic place, we went to the bat and Cesar had made us old fashions. And my wife likes them how he made it. So it was off to a good start. We chatted up with Cesar until our table was ready. Our waitress Alexis was very informative with this being our first time here and suggested the Sonny Boy and Fennel Sausage was excellent and the farmer Market salad was spot on I had tomorrow of them. The wait was worth it and we'll be black for the food and service as it was the best we able in a long time. Nestled within an historic area right by the Arizona Science Center and walking distance to Chase Field perfect date night. Nothing to fancy or upscale about the ambiance, very simple, yet elegant and perfect for the atmrea If you have not been out make sure to come and support this establishment. You won't be disappointed!!!!! read more

Had to check this place out as a DDD stan. It was really good pizza, gotta love a fire pizza. However, the service was a little awkward. We sat at the bar and the man taking our order was a like strange. Probably the perks of sitting at the bar but we got to listen in on the waiters convos about guests and two of them didn't seem to get along with each other, made eating my meal super awkward since they were literally right in front of me. The place was busy and the outdoors was really cute. There was a cute cat outside named Maggie, he's 17 years old. Probably the best part of my experience. read more

When we moved to Arizona from out of state a few years ago, several people told us to check out Pizzeria Bianco, that had been named Best Pizza in the World on Netflix Chef's Table: Pizza 2022 Limited Series - Episode 1. I was truly shocked and excited that we had just moved to a city with the best pizza, wondering, how could it not be Italy or another large city here in America. After watching the Netflix episode, I realized that chef and owner, Chris Bianco, had a great history with using local, quality ingredients, wood-fired and freshly prepared. This is what made his pizza so good. My daughter and I finally made it in to try the famous pizzas yesterday and we absolutely loved it. We sat outside the cute little pizzeria, located near the Arizona Science Center in the Heritage and Science Park, outside the main ASU campus in downtown Phoenix, at a metal table under a canopy in front of the little restaurant garden growing fresh herbs and hiding a friendly, gorgeous calico cat. I noticed several Yelp reviews complaining about waiting for a seat and wait times during the lunch hour. We arrived at 1:10 PM hoping to avoid the lunch rush. It was also a Tuesday so we hoped for less of a crowd. When we walked up and put our name in for seating, it was a 20 minute wait for an inside table and no wait for a patio table. We opted for a patio table. We ordered: - Espresso - Americano - Handmade Mozzarella Salad - Local market vegetable and Basil with Extra Virgin Olive Oil - So Good! This may have been our favorite dish of the day. - BIANCOVERDE White Pizza - Fresh Mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano, Ricotta, Arugula. You can't go wrong with a cheesy pizza topped with arugula. The pizza crusts on these pizzas are delicious. Just the way I like them - a thin crust of quality dough, bubbly and charred under the wood fire. - ROSA White Pizza - Red onion, Parmigiano Reggiano, Rosemary, AZ Pistachios (I had to try this pizza after reading Joyce W.'s great Yelp review) So tasty and such unique flavors. I've never tasted a pizza like this before. Our server brought us some crusty fresh, sliced bread and delicious, smooth olive oil for dipping, and water (good tasting, filtered water). After asking if we'd like chili pepper flakes, a large bowl and spoon of dried chili was brought to the table as well. It was the perfect afternoon eating our freshly-made, quality lunch outside on this warm spring day. My daughter and I both liked the Rosa pizza when it first came out and then we liked Bianco Verde pizza best after it had cooled down a bit. We both said we could enjoy a lunch of just the amazing mozzarella salad, bread & oil, and coffee. Today we wanted to try the famous pizzas and took the remainder home for some good dinner leftovers. The servers here were very pleasant and took good care of us. I'm so glad we finally were able to enjoy this spot. Parking is a little tricky for this restaurant. If you're driving down 7th Street, your GPS will tell you to turn in right at the restaurant. This is a dead-end street with a valet parking lot. You must valet park. If you're traveling south on 7th Street and turn right at Van Buren, you'll end up on Monroe where there is metered parking. This is what we did yesterday. We paid three dollars for two hours of parking at a metered spot and walked five minutes to Pizzeria Bianco. This is a nice walkable area near the university campus with lots of pedestrians. read more
I tried this restaurant after multiple recommendations and really enjoyed my meal. The pizza was fresh and had a great taste. I only wish that there were more options for non pork eaters. The restaurant was fairly busy when I arrived but I was seated quickly. The location has a nice, rustic feel which was nice. The servers were super nice and welcoming. I would definitely recommend a visit! read more

The pizzas were worth the hype. The dough was really good. Service was attentive as well as our first pizza came out burnt and the head server immediately came by and said let me get you a new one. We ordered the margarita and the wise guy and they were delicious and didn't break the bank. The wise guy was the favorite with the sausage and caramelized onions. No frills on the inside with tables packed closely together and cozy feels we were sat in the corner by the red brick. We did have to wait about 40 min for a table for 2 and went to the holdover bar where we ended up spending more than we did for pizza (*cries inside). We were not big fans of the bar and the vibe but really wanted the pizza. Parking was valet $10. We would come back for pizza and likely not hang at the bar while waiting. Make sure you get the initial text when you put your name down because mine didn't come through but luckily the hostess came to find me at the bar to say our table was ready, thank you! read more

After hearing multiple recommendations, my partner and I stopped by to see if they were worth the hype. They are. Parking was a bit tough--valet only but the entire staff had incredible service the moment from when we dropped the car off to when we left. The main dining area was relatively small, with only a handful of tables, so the wait was longer than I hoped. We loved that they had a separate building with a bar and AC to wait in. Once we got in, we ordered the Rosa. We loved it, it wasn't like any pizza we've had before. The pairing of pistachios, cheese, and rosemary really impressed us. Very glad they have a location in LA, we'll have to stop by read more

First time here for lunch today and I was impressed! They had good items on the menu, very select but it's a good sign! Sometimes less is more when it comes to items on the menu, some places can be overwhelming with options but I feel like they have the right amount of items on their menu to make it unique. Their mozzarella was top tier and super fresh! I felt satisfied after this meal and look forward to coming back in the future! Highly recommend! It's a small establishment, so highly recommended a reservation, but they do have extra waiting area inside a small house next door which is nice with AC and a bar you can take your drink over to the restaurant once they text you that your table is ready! Service was good, attentive and polite! Food was fresh and hot! read more
Still thinking about this pizza! It was probably one of the best pizzas l've had. The crust was incredible. Wait time was about 2 hours which seemed on the lower end for this place. Worth the wait! The ambiance inside made you feel like you were in Europe and you can watch them prep + cook with the pizza oven. read more

If you're even remotely into pizza, Pizzeria Bianco is a must, no exaggeration. Tucked inside Heritage Square in Downtown Phoenix, this place is the kind of historic gem that lives up to the hype. Opened by Chris Bianco in the 1980s (yes, before downtown was even cool), it's been praised by everyone from the James Beard Foundation to Oprah. And for good reason. We came in on a hot Arizona afternoon, and from the second we walked in, the vibe was perfectooo, casual but elevated, cozy but buzzing with energy. The staff is super friendly and clearly takes pride in what they're serving. We ordered the Sonny Boy (with salami and olives salty, savory perfection) and the Farmer's Market Salad, which changes weekly. Ours had peaches this time, and it was the perfect sweet-savory combo to balance the richness of the pizza. The crust is what makes it: blistered just right from the wood-fired oven, with that chewy-soft center and crispy edge that's pure magic. Every bite tasted like it was made with intention. A heads up: there WILL be a wait, but it's worth every minute. Grab a drink and walk around Heritage Square while you wait--it adds to the experience. If you're a local and haven't been yet, fix that. If you're visiting Phoenix, this is the pizza pilgrimage you want to make. read more
Pizza lived up to the hype for us! The margherita was our favorite and the best margarita pizza we've had. The Rosa had pistachios and we added fennel sausage, it was also good but we wish we got two margheritas. The service was very nice and they have a great lambrusco by the glass. read more
The pizza was BOMB! I loved it! The crust, the sauce, the creative toppings, it was just perfection. I also had a salad with pear and candied nuts, it was nice. The service was odd. We had different people coming up to the table and it seemed like they weren't communicating at all. The manager (I think) came to check in - always appreciate that. However, the host situation was so bizarre. We came at opening to get a table and she said there weren't anymore tables inside, but when I went to the bathroom there was one that we could've had. The group behind us got it. I'm guessing they were trying to get some of the outside tables filled or something. That was lame since it was hot af. Then she had us standing in the heat for a while before finally setting the tables outside so we could sit (there is a bar next door you can wait at but it was 11a and a work lunch so that wasn't the vibe we could go for at the time). It would've been nice to be able to sit at the table in the shade at least while waiting, but she shooed us away lol. Then the best part was the sprinklers coming on mid-meal. We moved the whole table over to avoid getting wet. That all said, I loved the food but I think there's some kinks to work out as far as service. I guess when it's this popular though they're doing great regardless . I do suggest getting there at opening. While it was delicious, I don't think it's worth waiting hours for unless you want to chill at the bar ahead of time. read more

Let me start this by saying that I was shocked to show up and find out that there would be a 30 min wait for a party of one at 3pm on a Monday. I didn't have time to wait, so I came back at 7pm for dinner. That wait had increased to 45 min (and was ultimately 70 min). I ended up going to Bar Bianco and getting a glass of wine, and then returning when my seat at the bar was ready. They brought out the house made bread and olive oil to start. The oil was good, but the bread had not been warmed at all. They have an oven right there that we can all see, so this is a big offense in my book. I then got the Farmers Market Salad. It was good, but it seemed like something was missing. (Also of note: the salads are meant to be shared, which explains why the salad was so big.) Now the pizza - I got the Rosa and it was delicious! The rosemary flavor really shined, the crust was very light and airy, and all of the flavors worked so well together. I can see why they have been written up in so many articles! And If I were rating this place by the pizza alone, I would've given it five stars. Tip: There's valet parking next to the restaurant, but you can self park in the Heritage Street Garage (about 1-2 blocks away) and they will validate your parking. read more
We had a wonderful visit to Pizzeria Bianco! The staff were so friendly and we even sat next to a couple who had been coming to this spot for 30 years! We had to check it out since it's been named "best pizzeria in the US". It was a small spot with indoor and outdoor seating and the wood-fired oven inside. We came on a weekday for lunch and didn't have a wait. The food came out fast and we started with complimentary bread and olive oil (this, more than the pizza, was actually my favorite part). The bread was so soft and flavorful. The salad was simple with a light dressing and it had really tasty green olives! We ordered the Rosa and the Biancoverde. The Rosa was a bit off for my taste - red onions, pistachios, rosemary, and parmesan were never a combination I thought could work. It was ok but think the fact that it was a parmesan base was too overwhelming of a flavor for me and with the onions, it was even more intense. I found it to be very oily as well, but the crust was really good. All that being said, my friend absolutely loved it! The Biancoverde was better but not the best pizza I've had. The crust was probably the best though! I liked the fresh mozzarella, but again I felt it had a bit too much oil. Maybe we just didn't order the right stuff, since the couple next to us recommended their favorites after we ordered: handmade mozzarella and the Wiseguy with red sauce and sausage. Maybe next time! They opened a spot in LA so I'll have to check that out when I'm back home. Thank you for your kindness! read more

Pizza is always a pizza! Excellent or disgusting... still the same simple ingredients. This one does shine greater than your typical joint. Simplicity is sometimes over hyped with expectations that are far greater than a nice simple product. I did enjoy the pizza and thought it was amazing with a flavorful crust that had a good bite and structure. The space was really nice and industrial. Very nice space with tall ceilings and simple meaningful decor. The service was kept friendly and simple like the pizza matching the character of the space and food! What a great spot and glad to have visited! read more
So much hype on this place as "best pizza on the country" so we had to give it a try. Went there for late dinner and only had to wait for 30mins. Ordered the 2 suggested pizzas and an appetizer and we all liked the margherita the best. The other was ok not as much flavor. We checked that box nimbus not sure if it's worth the wait going back. read more

Nearest airport please? coming to fly in from Hollywood airport, Burbank CA. how far is it to your restaurant from the airport? thanks. 😊
PHX...I think you might be looking for the entry for their LA location, though?
If someone goes just by themselves, will it be quicker/easier to get in?
If you're talking about the original location, we went on a weekday for lunch (Monday afternoon) and there was no wait time.
Do they take reservations?
No they do not. Not with the wait either. But if you do decide to go I would arrive there before they open.
Is the red sauce on the pizzas vegetarian-safe? Some places cook their sauce with bone marrow from cows or pigs, does Pizzeria Bianco do this?
They use Bianco Dinapoli tomatoes. They may have some trade secrets they keep in house but from what I’ve seen it should be safe. They do have vegetarian options. If this helps. Have you watched the Netflix special? I feel like it shows the entire… Read more
What's a good phone number to order carry out or get a reservation?
They do not take out orders, dine in only. If you Google them, it will lead you to a link to make a reservation online. We did a walk-in and waited two hours on a Thursday at 2pm. Always expect at least a two - four hour wait. There is a cool museum… Read more
Can you have small dogs on the patio outside?
I wouldn't see why but do know there is a large population of cats on and near the building.
Do they have parking space?
I didn't see a lot anywhere but there was affordable valet service right at the entrance.
When do winter/fall hours begin? Driving through Monday 11/21. Will they be open?
Yes, 11AM-9PM
Does this establishment offer Gluten Free? I'd love to try but I'm GF :(
No, they do not have any GF options for their pizza crust unfortunately. We were just there and I have celiacs.
Is there a long wait at lunchtime on weekdays? Planning to drive through Phoenix on the way to Flagstaff on a Monday afternoon and was hoping to try this place but I have young kids and can't wait in line for 2 hours.
We had a short wait, but that was because they had to get tables together for our party of 9 for lunch. Should have no problem getting a table quickly during the week for lunch.
How do I make reservations?
Downtown, you need to call about a week in advance. In fact, for less than five, they may not take reservations. I called a day in advance and was told that they need a week. There are other locations where the pizza is just as good. They may not be… Read more
Is the wait still pretty crazy? I'm flying into Phoenix this Friday (Feb. 7). I'm going to have to eat really early (about 5:00), and I won't have much time for dinner. It's just me, so I can sit and eat at the bar if that's available.
I have been here several times early and have not had any wait. It just depends on what activities may be going on downtown at the time.
Do they offer carryout?
Not anymore. You need to dine in to be able to carry out. They won't allow you to order again so if you want to do carryout after eating in make sure to order all the pizzas at the same time.
Do they have pepperoni?
Yes but with some many different toppings Leave the pepperoni to another day....Try the combos they have here
Do they offer take out?
I know they don’t offer take out at the Adam Street loction, not sure about their other locations.
How big is a pizza ? here?
It's an 8 slice pizza, but more importantly and seriously; order one per individual, it's not often you get to truly enjoy one of the best, well prepared and delicate tasting pizza's which Bianco creates!
