Firewood cheese pizza
Charles R.

Phenomenal firewood pizza you can taste the quality in this pie. The sauce was rich and flavorful. Great customer service and great packaging

If you are a fan of Chris Bianco (Pizzeria Bianco and Tratto), you'll live Pane Bianco. There is a takeout room, and a cute vintage-inspired dining room. I am a huge fan of the "shabby" vintage look, and this place is right up my alley. I absolutely love the carved wood bar. The lemon chandelier makes me happy and I wish I had one. The menu is mostly sandwiches, salads and pizza. The pizza is either by the slice or focaccia pizza. I don't think you could go wrong with anything you order--everything we've ever ordered is delicious. The need here knocks my socks off--crispy and chewy and oh so yummy! We ordered a roast beef sandwich and a prosciutto sandwich. Both were served with an apple slaw. Everything was so delicious. Portions are very generous for a reasonable price. We left full bellies, a box of leftovers, and a bag of lemon cookies. That makes for a perfect lunch!!!

Rustic

Visited Pane Bianco while in Phoenix. The atmosphere was rustic, casual, and authentic, and the service was friendly and welcoming. Living part-time in Arizona, I've found it can be a challenge to come across truly authentic Italian cuisine, which is why I really appreciate what Chris Bianco brings to the table. Chris is a good friend, and his strong Italian heritage and commitment to using the finest ingredients really shines through. Tried a few of their sandwiches, pizzas, and salads -- simple, honest, and full of flavor, exactly how Italian food should be. Marco (Chris' brother) is often on hand, adding a warm, personal touch that makes the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, a great spot for locals and a true taste of Italian craftsmanship -- absolutely worth many return visits. Saluti.

A great place to treat yourself with some upscale high quality ingredients and delicious food. I walked in (didn't order ahead) to place my to go order and the service was polite and helpful. I got the italian combo and prosciutto salad. They have a small area with olive oil and dry pasta and I couldn't resist to got a bottle of the olive oil. It was pricey but it's good! I will keep it for special occasions to use during home cooking. The sandwich and salad were bright with aromatic fresh ingredients and man they were good. Portion size could have def been for two people, I'm saving the rest for later tonight.

Mixed Green Salad

I had high hopes for this place. Maybe I should I order something else. We tried it for the first time. I would try it again but something else. We got the Tuna sandwich and it tasted more like sardines and was super super dry! Would not recommend. I got the Italian combo and the inside of the sandwich was great but the bread was sooooooo hard!! Cut the roof of your mouth hard. Very hard to eat. They both came with a cabbage salad on the side that was good Lastly my friend also got the side salad which seemed very plain but the dressing was very tasty kinda saved the lunch.

Pepperoni al Taglio
Kelley L.

The original of the Pizzeria Bianco chain. Although I have seen this at The Row in DTLA, my first experience is at this Central Phoenix location during a work trip. We had an opportunity to meet Chris Bianco as well, which was how we learned this was the first location. Their lunch menu was really simple, and parking was not too bad. We got here right around when it opened, and there were already parties sitting at the tables. I ordered the pepperoni al taglio since one of my former bosses told me the pizza was amazing at the DTLA location. The portions of the food were really great for the price point. I ordered a second pepperoni al taglio as I was famished. The second one I ordered felt overbaked compared to the first one, unfortunately. They can get really busy in a matter of minutes. Service was friendly though not the fastest. It was a great lunch spot in the middle of the work day.

Absolutely incredible service and delicious food. Chris Bianco and his team are unparalleled. I would eat their calzones and mozzarella salad every week if I could!

Tried out Pane Bianco for a late Friday lunch excited to taste the highly rated focaccia bread. This restaurant is situated right next to Lux so parking is tight. I was able to snag some street parking but make sure you heed any signage. Pane Bianco is a casual indoor/outdoor restaurant and the winter weather was cause for the entry door to be pulled open. The climate was pleasant, but there were more than a few bugs buzzing around. We ordered the albacore tuna salad sandwich and the mozzarella sandwich. The foccacia was incredible - nicely toasted and flavorful. If I were to go again, I'd pass on the tuna. It was bland and overall missable. The mozzarella was as fresh as the bread but the prosciutto left something to be desired. Overall this a fun spot for a casual meal; it might be more of a takeout spot. If you'd rather make your own sandwich, you can purchase bread at the counter.

Albacore Tuna Salad
Kelly S.

Had lunch at Pane Bianco yesterday and really enjoyed it! I ordered the tuna salad and it was plentiful for the price. I really liked the rustic and home-y ambience of the restaurant. It had a unique vibe to interior design. The fresh bread was also awesome.

Erica W.

Nothing beats their fresh mozzarella sandwich served before 3pm. And trust me you'll always crave it after 3 and be disappointed haha. The focaccia bread is scrumptious and it has the right amount of cold thick mozzarella and tomato piled on. Wrapped in paper and aiming to please! You have to try it!! In over a decade, this recipe has only seemingly gotten tastier!

Prosciutto sandwich, add roasted peppers

FIRST OFF! When asking how do you make your Meatball…read moreSandwich there is 1 correct answer! These guys NAILED IT! I know some of you are uneducated about the quality of a meatball sandwich & that's ok, I'm not judging so do not be offended. To begin... This is a neighborhood place just like back east , nestled in a neighborhood on the corner hidden from the strip mall garbage. When you come here, and you better, do not be distracted by the path to tasty food. It is in an older neighborhood with minimal parking but fantastic personalities, service & FOOD! Upon entry it's a time warp for us who grew up in a time that was better. This is a good Olde Fashion deli that sells great food with amazing service. Franks is a family place. Back to the real topic... Meatball Sandwich; when you ask what is the cheese that use & the owner is educated on quality be states "Provolone on the bottom, Mozzarella on top" just know you're in the right place! The flavor is top notch, added some cherry peppers to spice it up just right, bell peppers & onions are standard. Took it to go, drove about 20 minutes to where I needed to be, the aroma was teasing me, the concern of the sandwich being cold or soggy rang in my mind while driving the 17 to the 10.. I was nervous, anxious & salivating.... Opening the togo container to see the glorious sandwich! The meatballs are still hot, the sauce is holding place & the bread is still bread, not some soggy remnant of dough! Thank you for the pride, quality & tasty sandwich.

I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Cheba Hut is a cannabis-themed sub shop eatery, and parking ended up being manageable. The place was very busy when I arrived, so I grabbed a seat at the bar. The bartender was clearly juggling a lot but stayed friendly and personable. The place was super clean, and I immediately loved the laid-back neighborhood vibe near Roosevelt Row. I ordered the French dip sub along with a munchie- pretzel nugs. Cheba offers three sandwich sizes (Nug, Pinner, and Blunt), which makes ordering easy depending on your appetite. Everything came out fresh and flavorful, and the pretzel mugs were especially good, soft and salty, Parking here is a little more limited than some other locations, but overall I really enjoyed my first visit and was happy to learn there are multiple Cheba Hut locations around town. I'll definitely be back.

Wow! I feel like we found a little gem! We wanted to grab a quick lunch near St…read more Josephs Hospital and this place, which has been in operation for 50 years, popped up in my search. The vibe is definitely vintage pizza shop, with beamed ceilings, some exposed brick, and nifty old wooden iceboxes used as cabinets. There are some booths, a couple of tables, and a small patio out back The menu has some great sandwich choices, as well as a couple of salads. Rather than ordering two half sandwiches, we ordered one whole sandwich and split it. We also got potato salad. We got the recommended Super Sicilian, and it was soooooo delicious! The bread is amazing! Prices here are great, and only pay for the sides you want. It was a bit confusing because sign outside said "Italian kitchen" and "pizza," but I have since read that pizza is only served later in the day. We really loved it, and can't wait to come back! Sing to try the pizza!

Now let's get to the eating. Oh by the way, you can order half a sandwich if you want to. I just happen to order a whole sandwich. In my case I ordered the Italiano. The bread is toasted and the sandwich was tasty. Had spiced ham, Swiss cheese and salami. The place has had a few changes from what I can recall but still looks pretty much the same. It still is has a lot of loyal customers from the area which is a good thing. The service is great and has a customer friendly atmosphere. Like I mentioned before, plan ahead if you're planning to arrive during the lunch crowd.
