I have been coming here for years, so this review is way overdue. I've been coming when this place was just a to-go sandwich place, but now they have expanded into a dine-in restaurant. You can still take to-go, but beware, if you enter through the to-go section and order from there, they let you know that they're not happy that you're going to sit down in the dining section. They need to make this more clear so that some people who don't know or are dining there for the first time will know which door to go through and where to wait. This is one of the restaurants by Chris Bianco of Pizzeria Bianco. This particular location is a casual place where you can get pretty good sandwiches and sample some of the pizzas by the slices. Their bread, wood fired focaccia, is the highlight here so anything you get on their sandwiches will be pretty tasty. I love their soppressata sandwich and their albacore tuna sandwich is awesome with raisins and balsamic dressed arugula! Pizzas are good pretty decent too. This last time I was there we ordered their rice pudding and it was just ok. So skip the dessert and get their sandwiches! Vibe is casual and good place to meet people for lunch and business lunch will work as well since it's pretty quiet and not too loud. Chris Bianco's brother makes a round when it's not too busy and he's pretty friendly. read more

I'd heard good things about this place and wanted to finally try it. Prices were a bit high, but I don't mind paying for quality. The pizza, though, was burned--top and bottom. The crust was black and hard, like toast. The toppings and sauce had good flavor, but the pizza itself was ruined. I'm not sure how anyone pulled that out of an oven, boxed it, and thought it was okay. I'm not sure if that's the standard for pizza in Phoenix, but not where I come from. Burned. Total waste of money, and I wouldn't go back. read more

Ok...I AM a little embarrassed to post my pics of the food because first of all it smells so good when you walk in, that you immediately want to sit down & eat...the food is absolutely delicious, pizza slices, sandwiches, salads & wine & beer for alcohol. It's a a great place to have lunch, there open Mon-Sat 11-3. The pizza reminds me of a NewYork slice.The crust is that good & the sauce taste homemade. The salads are so fresh, like it was picked in a garden & off fruit trees out back. I could eat at Pane Bianco at least 3x's a week There salads alone are worth going. The staff of super cool & friendly & service was FIRST CLASS. I also like that it's open seating & very simple decor. Great place to meat a lunch date, very casual.Make sure to put Pane Bianco on your list of places to try :) read more

Pane Bianco has great sandwiches. The sandwiches are definitely the signature here so if you want pizza you should go to Pizzeria Bianco. The sandwich bread is made fresh in their pizza ovens and the texture is amazing - almost like a mix between bread and pizza crust. The sandwiches are simple, but the ingredients are extremely fresh. My favorite is the prosciutto with the house made mozzarella and basil. I wish you could pick the side that comes with the sandwich and it is a bit pricey so that's why it lost a star. This place has a great atmosphere and decor but keep in mind that the parking lot is pretty small. read more

Pane Bianco - Central - Proscuitto San Daniele Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

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

. Went for lunch on Wednesday. No more eat-in service. Much reduced menu. No longer open evenings (Wed thru Sat, 4pm to 8pm!). Very sad as this place was excellent. They need to update their website. read more

Good Pizza. Good atmosphere. Not sure what the hype is all about. There are definitely some great contenders in Phoenix. Overpriced. I didn't appreciate having an unauthorized tip added to our bill in addition to the cash tip we left. Not in any hurry to return. read more

Sandwiches were fine. Expensive though. The Italian sandwich was good but needs more filling. Lots of bread for your money. $48.00 for two sandwiches and one slice of pizza. 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

Crust, tomato, cheese, mushroom pizza Super Bowl Sunday was so good! The best! Thanks Manny and team!

Pane Bianco is a true gem! Their fresh-baked pizzas and bread are absolutely unreal. The sandwiches are simple but packed with flavor. Cozy, casual vibes with fast, friendly service. A perfect stop for a quick, delicious bite! read more

Food is amazing ! You can't be their lunch specials the sandwiches are fantastic. I also love the vibe of the place. It's really laid-back.

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 food is amazing here. But the service is horrible. Every time we come, we sit and wait forever for them to take our order. Every single time. And they take forever to come back to the table for refills. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

There is nothing that I like more than a prosciutto sandwich from Pane Bianco! It was so nice to be able to sit on the patio. The staff is super welcoming and friendly. Thank you Dominio for your excellent hospitality and service this past Monday for lunch. You were absolutely delightful.! 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

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
