Came here with a friend for lunch, solid lunch spot, cute and charming. Market sandwich was sold out, so I got the housemade mozzarella sandwich, very fresh and tasty! Only ate half as very filling and had another half for dinner. Friend got the prosciutto San Daniele, looked good and it was gone! Great lunch spot and we sat for a bit chatting and catching up. The place closes at 3 pm, so there's that. This is next door to Lux Coffee, which is always packed with people. read more

Pane Bianco has been on my list for quite some time now and I was able to finally give them a try during lunch the other day. There were some highs and lows. The high was the mozzarella sandwich! Wow! Probably the best caprese type sandwich I've ever had! It tasted like a super fresh bruschetta on a nice warm focaccia bread. Very flavorful and would definitely order again. However I also ordered the Italian combo sandwich and this sandwich was not very impressive. The meats tasted a little funky and the giardiniera was a little odd tasting. The dices of carrots were super big and didn't add anything good to the sandwich. One of the bigger disappointments was the square pepperoni slice of pizza. It looked really good in the display case but was very disappointing when I actually got it. The sauce was too thick, the cheese wasn't very melty, pepperonis weren't good and the dough wasn't crispy. I had higher expectations considering this started from pizzeria Bianco. Long story short, come here for the mozzarella sandwich. That's all you will need. read more

I came here with a friend awhile back. She was visiting in town and I mentioned this place because it had been on my list for a long time. Great spot to have a good bite and quick catch up. We waited about 10mins for a table - pretty crowded at lunch time, but we got seated up at the bar area. She ordered the pizza al taglio and I had the Italian combo. Food came out pretty fast, good lunch size portions, and very tasty. Maybe a little expensive for lunch, but worth the splurge every now and then. It's a really cute small spot, but there is parking out back- it's right next to Luxe coffee, Would recommend checking this spot out if you are in town. read more

The best for lunch! Always delicious! We love everything. Such great focaccia, pizza, salads & sandwiches. The caprice sandwich is my favorite. read more

So so so good!! It's been on the list for awhile and have visited pizzeria Bianco so we were pretty happy they had this spot. We went in more during dinner time so sadly we didn't get any sandwiches but the pizza and salad we got made up for it. It's super casual which is nice as well, we ordered at the cash register then sat down. read more

The porchetta was good but it's so god damn oily that the bottom of the sandwich was drenched in oil. read more

Always delicious. Easy to find and park. Addicted to the Beets. Pizza and Sandwiches are amazing.

One of my favorite places for lunch, especially I like to take friends (visitors) from out of town to this simple & quality place. It's always unpretentious & simple menu -- with the freshest ingredients & the most incredibly tasting breads. We had a great lunch dining experience here. It was unanimously voted the best lunch for them (in Phoenix) by all of us during this luncheon...two from So-Cal, one from Glendale (AZ), one from Upstate NY, one from Nantes (France)...can't wait to bring my next group of friends. read more

The service is great, and the food is bigger than I expected and really is filling. The place has a rustic vibe, but it's a good vibe to have small gatherings up to ten people or just a meeting with a few people. Music isn't to loud it's just enough to notice and enjoy while you talk. I highly recommend this place if you're traveling or just live around the area. read more

Trendy, interesting... been coming to this spot since Lux occupied it and then moved next door. (THAT place is amazing!). Today met a friend at Pane Bianco for lunch and ordered the Porchetta sandwich. The "lemon mayo" was SOO strong, abundant and overpowering it made the sandwich inedible. The porchetta itself was somewhat tasty but had pieces of fat that I had to spit into a napkin. While Chris's pizzas downtown are good, this place seemed forced, or better, an afterthought not tended to. Conversely the Porchetta sandwich at Andreoli's off Via Linda/101 is a better option. read more

This place is awesome. The pizza is excellent and sandwiches are so delish. The focaccia bread is so yummy! The inside of the restaurant is very cute, fits the aesthetic. Parking however is on the smaller side, might be difficult finding a spot. read more

Where do I start? We went to Pane Bianco for my friends bday. We got there early cause it gets packed. The service was great. Employees are friendly and passionate about what they do. We got a couple pizza's and they were superb! The dough is amazing. They use a different tomato in ther sauce that I just love. Go! You should go...today! read more

The sandwiches are bomb but the place stinks terribly making it almost uninhabitable for dine in. The staff is also not super friendly. But if you just want to pre-order a prosciutto and mozz or mozz and basil you will not be disappointed. The Italian club on their actual bread sucks as does the pizza. Overall call in, plug your nose, and eat a Sammy. But god bless you if you dine in or have to wait. Also it's a $13 not very filling sandwich so there's that. Tastes good tho... read more

This is where it's at. Sandwiches are unreal. Favorite is that pork one with the Italian salsa verde.

Love this place! My husband and I stopped by to grab a slice of Boston Cream Pie made by Chaconne Patisserie and after looking at the menu, we decided to order a sandwich - the Italian Combo. This had Spicy Soppressata, Mortadella, Coppa, Provolone, & Giardiniera on Country Loaf and came with a small salad. It was sooo good! I would love to come back and try other sandwiches, they all looked amazing! read more

Since I have previously enjoyed Pizzeria Bianco, I wanted to check out this location! I ordered the tuna sandwich for pickup. The focaccia was wonderful and crisp and the balsamic added some nice flavor to the tuna. It also had a tasty cannelloni bean side. Definitely recommend for lunch! read more

I honestly struggled with leaving a review here. Because let's be honest does a Chris Bianco establishment need a review? Ok, so kind of and I'll tell you why. Everyone knows the pizza is good. Yeah if you get a red NY slice it's going to be awesome. Here's what no one really talks about. This is the BEST calzone I've ever had in my life. The crust, the dollop of sauce and parm down the middle, it's honestly perfection. The parking is easy and the inside is a vibe. Had a chance to meet Marco Bianco, Chris' brother. Such a cool dude. He made my mom and I laugh and we chatted about NY. I have one negative thing to say, which isn't really negative but it's the only thing that makes this 4 stars instead of 5. The staff has little urgency. What I mean by this is it's busy here. There will be 3 tables that are dirty while you're waiting for a table. The staff will tell you to hold on. Then slowly move about the place, bringing menus to people sitting, taking orders, bringing people food and they do this while they could easily sort of do it in a much smoother process. It's my only gripe. Everything else is perfect. Fix that, it's 5 stars. read more

I took one my clients here for lunch. He's 19 and learning to cook. After giving him a history lesson on the legend Chris Bianco and telling him my Top 5 favorite pizza restaurants we ordered. We both ordered the San Danielle. It seems to get better every time . My client didn't talk much during the meal. I could not tell if it was because he was enjoying his meal so much or because he was bored and on tinder. Either way, going to Pane Bianco is always a WIN read more

It's called Pane for a reason. The bread here is really good. However, the fillings are a different story. We started by sharing their daily special tomato bread with cheese. The bread was good but the toppings were flavorless. I had the Italian combo sandwich. Great crusty bread but lacking moisture. Almost zero giardiniera. It would have been better presented as charcuterie with EVOO. My wife had the prosciutto and homemade mozz on focaccia. Prosciutto was cut too thick and was hard to bite through. She put the side slaw on top for moisture. Sorry but not worth a return trip. read more

I love the vibe of this place!!! You can tell every detail is very intentional, between the decor, the menu, the selection of items they have for sale it's all meticulously chosen. When we got here there was a line out the door, which makes sense cause it was lunch time and for good reason. My husband and I shared two sandwiches, the tomato, mozzarella and basil and then the other one had mortadella and a few other meats on it. Both were absolutely delicious, but it was the bread that really made it. You can tell it was made fresh that day. Overall incredible place and experience read more

Chris Bianco's sandwich shop, if you're looking for pizza go to pizzeria bianco not here. Only open for lunch but the food is always reliable. They do have a dining room but personally I always do to-go, dining room ambience doesn't do it for me. read more

This spot is an extension to the pizzerias by Chris Bianco, is the spot for lunch. If you are not familiar with Chris and his influence in Phoenix, look him up. If you love focaccia sandwiches, look no more! The focaccia breads are baked to order in their wood fire ovens, bringing freshness at its best. They have a limited menu but be sure to know it's all fresh as they source their ingredients locally. Pane Bianco has been voted best sandwich in Phoenix on many occasions and now I get to see why. Come check them out! read more

4.5 stars! No food pilgrimage to Phoenix is complete without a visit to one of Chris Bianco's institutions! He's famous for his artisanal pizza, and Pane Bianco was a great place for trying out a casual spin on his original Pizzeria Bianco restaurant. This bakery features an ever-changing menu with seasonal ingredients, and on my visit, I got the market pizza al taglio, which came with mushrooms, onions, and cheese on a thick, light, crusty focaccia bread! My favorite parts about this pizza were the umami toppings and the crispiness of the bread--truly a revelation to what good pizza can be! I also got the market salad of the day, made of escarole, sliced apple, Gorgonzola cheese, and breadcrumbs. Every component of this salad was so fresh and crunchy, making it a perfect side dish to complement the pizza! read more

My last meal in Phoenix and I decided on something not too heavy or filling. I thought a nice little cafe would hit the spot. I had wanted to try the mozzarella sandwich. My first impressions it were good in the sense that the bread, cheese, and all the rest of the ingredients melded together perfectly. I must say that by the time I got to the second half the sandwich, the initial impact and flavor of the sandwich had then worn out it's welcome. I think it's due to the cheese subbing in for the main flavor when usually cheeses function the complement the meat, but in this sandwich it's expected to stand on its own. Though it wasn't mind blowing, definitely a solid dish. It would be cool if they offered a side instead of a second half to change up the favor profile. If you want a nice lunch that's something light and not too heavy, this place would suit you well! read more

I've been here a few times now so I think a review is overdue. I've had their chicken salad sandwich a few times, their tuna salad sandwich, and today their Prosciutto San Danielle. Top quality bread and ingredients always make the experience here impecable. You can really taste the freshness a quality in everything they produce. I don't think this is a place you come if you want to have your taste buds fly off the charts. This is a place where you come to admire the beauty in the simplicity of good quality ingredients. I can definitely appreciate quality and simplicity which is why I keep returning anytime I'm in town. This is reminding me that I need to see if the LA location has opened up. read more

Wasn't impressed by the food,, , the service was good.

The bread was pretty good though! read more

Very cool spot owned by famous Chef Chris Bianco. It has been voted as best sandwich in Phoenix many times and I can see why. This centrally located restaurant is the perfect spot for lunch. They serve pizzas and salads too in addition to their sandwiches. The bread is baked in house so you know it's fresh. I ordered the prosciutto San Danielle sandwich and it was delicious. All of their menu items look good and I'm curious to visit again. read more

Great lunch in the Phoenix area. We've been Bianco fans for years but haven't tried Pane Bianco until today. I had the prosciutto sandwich and it's absolutely delicious. Plus, Chris himself was wandering around the restaurant and kitchen area, greeting guests and talking to the staff. Definitely a must-try for authentic Italian eats. read more

Pane Bianco probably has the best sandwiches in the Phoenix Valley. It's hard to find a place that has both fresh ingredients AND fresh bread with a cool atmosphere and nice customer service. They have a solid menu all around and have desserts from local bakers that are always to die for. They close early though, so make sure you get there before they shut down at 3 PM. PS: the horchata tres leches is life changing. read more

Already in love with pizzeria Bianco? Then you should definitely try Pane Bianco, the tiny sandwich shop by Chris Bianco. The quality of the food here is unmatched (except for his other restaurants). The fresh mozzarella on the sandwiches and salads is so creamy and perfectly pulled. The flavors are beautifully blended and the bread is so fresh and salty and crisp. Everything is freshly made and I am in love. My go-to sandwich is the prosciutto san Daniele which is mozzarella (fresh hand pulled), prosciutto, and basil on a beautiful handmade wood fired focaccia bread. The little hint of sea salt on top of the bread is like the chefs kiss of the sandwich. The house slaw that comes with the sandwiches is tart and tangy and to die. The other star of the show? The calzone! It is beautifully made and the flavors are insane. The sauce made with the perfectly flavored Bianco tomatos, the fresh cheese, the spinach, it's an absolute dream. I absolutely love it here and come back as often as I can (open Monday-Saturday 11:00-3:00). read more

We've been coming here a couple of years now and the food is always delicious. This time I had the porchetta sandwich and it was amazing! Perfect amount of fattiness from the pork belly and great crunch from the skin. The lemon mayo cut through the fat and the arugula added just enough peppery flavor. All of this stuffed into a great tasting ciabatta roll. I will be shoving this in my face the next time we go. read more

Love Pane Bianco! A top lunch spot in Phoenix for pizza & Italian panini. Also great fresh options like salad & vegetable soup.

Quick Summary Very solid food at affordable prices. Service was super friendly and accommodating. It's a solid lunch spot if you're around the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here if you're a tourist Food- 4 stars Ordered the housemate mozzarella sandwich and the kale salad on their daily special. Everything was pretty good, but nothing spectacular. Service- 5 stars It's a fast casual restaurant but the servers were so nice and accommodating. Probably the highlight of the mea Bottom Line Solid spot for sandwiches and salads for locals, but definitely not a must-try read more
