    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!

    Went in search of Chef Bianco's Heritage Square location. It is a cute little place. We sat outside and was able to enjoy the live music from the restraunt across the street. Service and food was good. Great historical place to get out of the heat.

    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.

    Margherita pizza
    Mia M.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Margherita
    Yarn Y.

    This is a rare 5 stars and for a good reason - the homemade mozzarella is out of this world . The margarita pizza was fantastic , but that mozzarella . The best I ever had . I'm repair to stand in line , it's totally worth it

    Rosa and Biancoverde
    Danielle P.

    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.

    It's always a treat to dine at Pizzeria Bianco. This the second I have dine here when I visit Phoenix. Great food, staff and ambience never fails. This is a treat worth having every time. Look for to my next visit to try the short ribs.

    Ask the Community - Pizzeria Bianco

    Gluten free options?

    Salads. And appetizers. But they don't have a gluten free pizza dough.

    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?

    Will pizzeria bianco be open on Memorial Day (5/27)?

    Pretty sure yes!

    Do you take reservations?

    No, first come, first served.

    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 a bar or serve drinks/beer here?

    Yes to both.

    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!

That misconception disappeared immediately upon stepping through the doorway. Warm, inviting ambiance, full of character. Attending the birthday celebration for an esteemed young man, our table wasn't ready (we were early) and the hostess offered us seats at the bar while awaiting our party. We each had a wine spritzer... may I say that the very few such concoctions I've had bearing that name didn't do justice to what we were served. I've never had anything like this, a "Sgroppino" (I'm partial to strawberry!) and it was perhaps the best adult beverage I've had in a very long time. Many different nuances in a glass. Stunning subtle, many diverse flavors. Mmm. Our bartender was an artist of the mixed adult beverage, a delightful individual with a warm, genuine smile and an encyclopedic knowledge of how to do his job expertly. Rare that you meet someone like this who isn't all measuring cups and shot glasses: everything he concocted was done by eye, and judging by what he made for us, his expertise was immediately apparent. Ben fatto. È andata benissimo, brava. When we'd all arrived, we were escorted to the "garden shed"... a smaller out-building filled with racks of wine, perhaps an ideal place for small wedding receptions or engagement parties. Well-cooled despite our broiling Phoenix evening. We had the garlic bread; someone ordered IL Tagliere, Calamari (no, thank you), and a basket of bread. You know how you go to a hamburger joint and what you're served looks nothing like the photos of their menu? Go to CiBO's web site and look at their menu: What you see in their photos is what you get. One visit and next time you look at their menu online, you'll salivate. Yes, the food is that good. I ordered the calzone. Delicious. Getting through it wasn't pretty... but it was excellent. Huge, very generous entree. Excellent flavors. Our server was delightful, attentive without being a nuisance. Our water glasses never reached empty, and the stories about the birthday boy (and others) were never interrupted. We never made it to desserts. Too much food and amusing stories. CiBO: È andata benissimo, brava.

    Lil Capo Pizzeria 5.0/5 The Closest Thing to New York…read morePizza I've Found in Arizona Growing up in Upstate New York, I admittedly have high standards when it comes to pizza. After moving to Arizona in 2007, I've spent years searching for a slice that genuinely reminds me of home. While there are plenty of decent pizza spots throughout the Valley, very few capture that authentic New York style. Lil Capo Pizzeria absolutely does! Ironically, I first discovered Lil Capo after an Arizona Cardinals game. Like many people, I wasn't interested in paying stadium prices for mediocre food, so I jumped on Yelp looking for something nearby. Lil Capo had outstanding reviews, so we decided to give it a try. I'm glad we did because it's now my benchmark for New York-style pizza in Arizona. The first thing that stood out was the crust. This is exactly what a New York slice should be--thin, crispy on the bottom, slightly chewy inside, sturdy enough to fold, and never overloaded with grease. So many places think "New York style" simply means making a large slice. Lil Capo understands it's really about the balance of crust, sauce, cheese, and texture. Every bite reminded me why I miss pizza back east. The sauce has just the right amount of sweetness and acidity, the cheese is perfectly proportioned, and everything tastes fresh without trying to reinvent what already works. Sometimes simplicity executed well is the hardest thing to accomplish. Pizza: 5/5 Service was equally impressive. The staff was welcoming, friendly, and efficient. After selecting our slices, they quickly reheated them to perfection and had them on our table within minutes. It's exactly what you want from a neighborhood pizzeria--fast, relaxed, and genuinely hospitable. Service: 5/5 I also appreciated the atmosphere. Lil Capo isn't trying to be flashy or trendy. Instead, it has that classic neighborhood pizzeria feel where the focus stays exactly where it should--on making outstanding pizza. It's casual, comfortable, family-friendly, and somewhere you could easily become a regular. The pricing is another pleasant surprise. Considering the quality of the pizza and the generous slice sizes, I found everything to be very fairly priced. Overall Finding authentic New York-style pizza in Arizona has been surprisingly difficult over the years, but Lil Capo delivers exactly what I've been searching for. Authentic New York-style crust Excellent sauce-to-cheese ratio Minimal grease Friendly, efficient service Fair prices Comfortable neighborhood atmosphere I've eaten pizza throughout New York my entire life, and Lil Capo remains the closest I've found to the real thing anywhere in Arizona. Whenever I'm on the west side of the Valley--or heading to or from a Cardinals game--I find myself looking for an excuse to stop in. Next time, I'm skipping the slices and ordering an entire pie. If you're a fellow New Yorker living in Arizona and craving a slice that tastes like home, Lil Capo should be at the top of your list.

    World-class pizza in AZ!…read more I have traveled the world and had many Pizzas, and this is hands-down one of the best pizza places I've ever experienced. Tucked away in the Westgate Mall, it's a compact, modern little spot that likely gets buzzing during the lunch hour. The service is excellent--you just order at the counter and they bring the pizza out to you. If you're in the area, do not pass this up. We'll absolutely be returning on our next trip to Arizona!
