Best pizza ever. Service and ambiance was really good as well. An Uber driver recommended and I wasn't expecting much but it was awesome.

People often ask me where I go for Italian food in Phoenix. My answer is always the same, "I go to different spots for different things." I don't have the answer. And just because someone's Italian or, Italian-American, from a big city or a certain part of the country doesn't mean they do either. (Lol) Pizzeria Bianco is one of my favorite joints in Phoenix. Chris Bianco has become a national celebrity, a point of pride for Phoenicians, yet somehow remains as humble as his restaurants. The Town & Country location leans hard into that urban-chic vibe. The bar, with its old relics and faded photos, reminds me of a North Jersey front porch in the middle of summer. On this day, I went with my usual: the Wiseguy pizza - smoked mozzarella, spicy sausage, and sweet onions. Some homemade bread and a plate of olives got things started. I washed it all down with a Chianti. Dessert? Uh...yeah. Bianco's tres leches cake is fresh, ridiculously good, and the best I've had. The menu is limited, but focused. Every time I stop in, I tell myself I'm finally going to order something different. Every time, I fold. Great food. Cool vibe. Wonderfully attentive, consistent staff. State buono, Bianco & Team! read more

Pizzeria Bianco - Wiseguy Pizza - Italian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

**July 2026: Saturday Night Visit** I had heard so many positive reviews about Pizzeria Bianco, so I was really excited to try it. We ordered the Wiseguy and the Rosa online and requested a 12:15pm pickup. This location is in a suburban part of Phoenix, and parking was easy, which was a plus. Unfortunately, our order wasn't ready when we arrived and we ended up waiting another 10 to 15 minutes. Once we got it home, I honestly wasn't that impressed. The Rosa had a more interesting flavor profile, but the dough on both pies was tougher and chewier than I expected rather than light and bouncy. Overall, it just didn't quite live up to the hype for me. Next! read more

Pizzeria Bianco exceeded every expectation. From the first bite, you could tell the pizza was made with fresh, high-quality ingredients and handcrafted with care. The flavors were incredible, and every pizza tasted as authentic as it was delicious. The ambiance was one of my favorite parts of the experience. The rustic, farmhouse-inspired décor with its European charm made it feel less like a restaurant and more like being welcomed into a friend's home for dinner. It was warm, inviting, and incredibly comfortable. The customer service was exceptional. A special thank you to the manager and the entire team for accommodating our party of 10 and seating us so quickly. My husband and I had a flight to catch, and they went above and beyond to make sure we could enjoy a wonderful meal without feeling rushed. Everyone at the table enjoyed themselves. Their hospitality, efficiency, and genuine kindness made the experience even more memorable. If you're looking for authentic pizza, a cozy atmosphere, and outstanding service, Pizzeria Bianco is absolutely worth a visit. We can't wait to come back next time we are in Phoenix. read more

Fantastic pizza. About a 10 min walk from my hotel, went based on some of the reviews. One of the best and most interesting pizzas I've ever had. I went with the Rosa, which the menu says is parm, red onions, pistachios and rosemary, but it was so much more. Very addictive flavor, though I can't pinpoint it. I also started with the greens, had to justify the pizza, and it was also surprisingly good. A few olives added a lot to the lettuce, which also had a nice vinaigrette. read more

Came here for lunch recently when I was in the area. After looking over the menu, we ordered the artisan spaghetti and a margherita pizza to share. The spaghetti was good, perfectly al dente, and the sauce tasted fresh. The margherita pizza tasted standard, nothing outstanding. What we really appreciate about this place is that the menu is straightforward and concise. This is one of those instances where less is more. Overall, service was fast and friendly. The décor inside leans more towards a vintage rustic vibe with a spacious dining area. They also have a good size outdoor patio. read more

Came as this was highly recommended to me as a must have while in Phoenix. Glad I came. Had a fresh handmade mozzarella as an appetizer which was absolutely perfect. Loved the heirloom tomatoes and basil. Very fresh and colorful ingredients. For the pizza we had the Rosa which has Parmesan and pistachios. Service super friendly and attentive. Decor and vibe was cool. We loved It all. read more

4 years since I've watched Chef's Table & so many missed chances in LA to try, but it was all worth it to finally try it in AZ. I walked in and sat the bar - first customer of the evening so I didn't wait! I knew it would be awesome because the bread & olive oil served was wonderful on its own. For the pizza, I had a half & half of their signatures: *signature Rosa (parm reg, red onion, pistachios, rosemary) is a stunner. so delicious - this is a white base (no tomato) so all the flavors really stand out. *Sonny boy (tomato, fresh mozz, soppressata, gaeta olives) is like a pepperoni pizza on flavor 'roids. I also love black olives and the gaeta are like super charged in flavor too. Also, the texture is pretty incredible. The crust shatters first - then gives way to this yeasty, chewy interior with just a touch of crispy, bitterness from the wood fire. Addictive as hell. Damn. read more

Well lookie here. Every town has it's fancy pizza. Pizzeria Bianco is this place's fantastic offering and showcase. The Biltmore location takes reservations, so we went there on this particular day. It's a nice, well-decorated, quaintly themed vaguely Italian restaurant, with good natural light and some cute candle lights too! Love it! But of course, we're not here for the decor. As Tobey Maguire so eloquently puts it as Peter Parker, it's "Pizza time!" We ordered the Sonny Boy and the Wiseguy. Two of their most popular pizzas, although, since there's really only 6 pizzas on the menu, we didn't have much issue ordering. Texturally, these crusts were picture perfect. Big billowy dough at the crust and paper-thin where the toppings were placed. Neapolitan influence on the dough, and I'm living for it. Textures were crunchy, soft, and perfect. Flavors were sweet, acidic, bright, and savory. At its price point, I couldn't ask for more. Comparatively to other pizzas in the same category, this is almost exactly the same price. Can't go wrong with that! read more

A meal at Pizzeria Bianco carries the weight of the name behind it--Chris Bianco--and it shows in the execution. This Town & Country location is welcoming but run with precision; there's a seriousness to the operation that translates directly to the plate. Sitting at the bar, the focaccia sandwich (with anchovies added - not for everyone) lands exactly how you want it to--balanced, intentional, and deeply satisfying. Paired with a glass of Verdicchio, it becomes a simple but dialed-in experience. Side note, Verdicchio roughly translates to "greenish" in Italian, a nod to the grape's subtle green hue and fresh profile. It cuts through the anchovies' elusive fishiness with surgical precision. Service is efficient and no-nonsense, with clear attention to detail. There's an initial edge--the kind that comes with a place that knows its reputation--but it softens quickly if you meet it with patience. Come in grounded, and the interaction becomes far more human. It's not inexpensive, but that's part of the contract here. You're paying for consistency, craft, and a kitchen that takes itself seriously--and delivers. read more

Of course we will be back again and again and again we love our local pizzeria Cons: I tried to call in to see how busy it was, but there was no option to speak to anyone it was just a phone tree circle with an option to leave a voicemail for a manager. When we arrived, there were a lot of open seats and we asked to sit at a bigger table because we wanted all of our food out at once and they said that they needed to go ask a manager when they came back. They offered us another two top table that was slightly bigger , even though there was plenty of four top tables available. The food came out extremely slow. We wanted it out all at once, but they were literally making courses for us, which is cool and all but like not what we were wanting. I think it's because we were at a smaller table. Pros: Everybody was really nice and friendly The food was delicious as always we loved the salad. The fresh ingredients really came through and shined. The pizza of course was delicious even though by the time we had our pizza come out we had to leave the restaurant. We appreciate the commitment to quality. When we said that we had to go, they took our payment quickly and got our to go boxes ready with a bag, which was really nice of them to do. read more

Surpassed the hype. Brought my wife here on an anniversary trip. Lauren the bartender was amazing. Everything we ate was out of this world exactly like what you get in Italy. I would give anything to know where and what kind of tomatos they use. Olive oil is amazing and clearly imported from Italy. If I could give this place 6 stars I would. read more

Excellent pizza and mozzarella. We made reservations on Open Table for a Monday lunch around noon. We got there early, and were seated right away. There were plenty of open seats, so I also think it would've been fine to visit without a reservation too. The olive oil and accompanying bread was really tasty, so we were off to a great start. The mozzarella was delicious, and we liked it even more than the pizza. Simple greens were accurately described--very simple with a light dressing. Only order this if you want some greens, it's nothing memorable or unique. Rosa pizza (added sausage) was also great and we loved the texture of the crust. The cheese was a bit sharp. We'd love to come back and try another pizza. Tip: they were willing to accept a half and half pizza, so if you're wanting to try 2 different pizzas, but only have an appetite for 1, ask. We also ordered balsamic and chili oil to go along with the pizzas. We were pleasantly surprised that we were not charged extra for this. read more

Dear Chef Bianco, Your food is pretty good and all that , blah, blah, blah. But that back room is so horribly depressing. Do better. it's like a mortuary in that horrid room. I felt like a mole person, I actually was getting used to the dark and not relying on sight anymore. Zero music or ambience and the most uncomfortable chairs ever. Terrible acoustics also, good God, spend some money and redo that awful room. Cacophony should be a new pizza to try on the menu. Cocktails very average, espresso martini, very average. Challenge to Chef Bianco. Have dinner in that wretched dark, cavernous room and sit in those cheap uncomfortable chairs for an hour plus and give me your review. Ugh, shameful that you put customers in that horrid room. Do better chef. 3 stars only because of the staff that buss tables faster than people leave and for the food. read more

TL;DR: I visit Tucson on occasion but fly to PHX and make the drive down SPECIFICALLY to get pies at Bianco's - great pies and friendly service. Simply the best in AZ Ordered: - Margherita: a must and always the best - 1/2 Sonny Boy | 1/2 Biancoverde: just to get a couple different options - Simple local greens: truly simple - got purely for fiber and to feel like I'm eating 'healthy' Perfect undercarriage, good sauce, fresh and delicious toppings. Cheers, Bianco! read more

What a way to kill my hunger after a long hike! This place really makes some great pizza! We were greeted with a smile and got sat right away on the outside seating, but not before capturing a pic of the wood fired oven! The patio is dog friendly! We ordered a couple of pizzas and a salad. Everything was delicious! The crust was crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. The sauce was great! The toppings were fresh. Would not change anything on my pizza. Loved this spot and would definitely come back! read more

We split two white pies here -- the Rosa and the Biancoverde -- and while both are well-crafted, one clearly flexed harder. The Biancoverde was the star. Creamy ricotta, a generous snowfall of mozzarella, and fresh arugula made every bite lush, savory, and perfectly balanced. The cheese-to-crust ratio was dialed in, letting Bianco's legendary crust shine: blistered, airy, chewy, and just crisp enough to snap before yielding. This is a white pie done with confidence. The Rosa leaned more restrained and minimalist. Parmigiano Reggiano, red onion, rosemary, and pistachio create a subtle, earthy profile -- elegant, but compared to the Biancoverde, it felt quieter and less indulgent. Still good, just not the one I'd crave on the walk back to the car. The space is charming but buzzing, set in a busy plaza next to Trader Joe's with Whole Foods nearby -- very Phoenix, very convenient, very alive. Pro move: skip dessert here and swing by Trader Joe's afterward. Let Bianco handle the pizza obsession; let TJ's handle your sweet tooth. read more

Stopped by this Pizzeria Bianco after the Cardinals game since this one is open on Sundays and it's tucked away in a general shopping plaza. For dinner time, we only had to wait about 20 minutes for a table. The service and waiter were great throughout the evening. We sat at the outside patio area. I appreciated the compact one-side menu which just enough options to choose from. For how famous PB is, the prices were definitely reasonable. The Sonny Boy was really good and the soppressata was exceptional. The flavor was really fresh and I really enjoyed the red sauce as well. The Rosa was more interesting with a strong cheese flavor but accented with the pistachios and red onion. I do wish that red onions were more evenly distributed because you really need them in each bite to add that balance of acid. However it was a very good combination. The crust is very crispy with a little bit of heft and the thickness is fairly thin. read more

I've heard people hype up Pizzeria Bianco for years, so I finally made it in and honestly, it lived up to it. It's definitely on the upscale side for pizza, but it still feels relaxed and welcoming, not stuffy, we sat outdoors. The place was busy when we got there, but the staff kept things moving and didn't rush us. The pizza itself is simple in the best way. You can tell they really care about the ingredients -- the crust had that perfect balance of chewy and crisp, and nothing felt overdone. It was wood fired so it had a nice char around the edges. We tried a couple different pies and shared, and every slice was solid all the way through, not just the first bite. It's not a cheap night out, and it's not the place you go for a quick grab-and-go slice, but for a sit-down pizza experience in Phoenix, this spot is worth it. I'd definitely come back, especially when I'm in the mood for pizza that's a little more thoughtful and well done without being pretentious. Outdoor was nice, with heaters so it made it more bearable. Parking is a bit of pain so just be prepared for that. Otherwise, well worth the trip. read more

Easily my favorite pizza place now. Pittsburgh has some really good pizza but man this was amazing. The drink was a chance - I was heading to the airport immediately afterwards so I wanted a mixed drink before my long flight. This drink was light and had a cola taste to it. I don't drink pop so it's been a minute since I tasted something cola like. The pizza was amazing. So glad I added anchovies . Chefs kiss. The flavors worked so well together but didn't overpower each other. Cheese good. Olives good. Sopressata good. The crust was really great. Definitely will go back again and again. read more

Third time eating at Bianco, first time here. What is nice it's larger than the central location but still expect a wait at peak times. Came for a Saturday early lunch and just walked in.

Heard about this place from the Netflix show and had to try it. We ordered the Homemade Mozarrella, which you could tell it was made with lots of love, the Margharita, which they dont use marinara sauce, and the Rosa, which came with pistachios on-top. Who would have though Pisatchios on pizza, but it works, unlike pineapple on Hawaiian pizza. read more

Pizzeria Bianco continues to deserve all the hype it gets, serving incredible wood-fired pizzas and -- unique to this location -- the freshest handmade pasta I've had in AZ! My go-to has quickly become the Rosa with wood-roasted mushrooms added on. The creaminess of the parmigiano reggiano, the nuttiness of the pistachios, and the earthiness of the rosemary and mushrooms create the best combination. It's one of the more unique pizzas on the menu, and Pizzeria Bianco nails it (and the perfectly chewy dough!!) every visit. I also tried pasta for the first time and was stunned by how good the Pappardelle was. The pasta was thin with a nice chew, and the bolognese had the brightest tomato flavor and didn't feel oily! I was also impressed by the freshness of the basil mojito mocktail. Our group was able to easily book a table for 8 by calling in a few weeks ahead, and we were seated promptly as the majority of our party arrived. Service was helpful, friendly, and seamless, and the candlelit atmosphere is great. Definitely worth taking your out-of-town friends here! read more

We've tried for years to return to Pizza Bianco after experiencing their delicious pizza at the downtown PHX restaurant. We even went to their L.A. location (not as good). The wait was always long, and we didn't want to remain in line after driving 6 hours from CA. We lucked out recently on a weekday for lunch. Anticipating a delicious pizza, we ordered the margherita, along with Parppardelle pasta. Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The taste was just okay. And for the price, I don't plan on returning. read more

Years ago, I saw a food documentary and a world renowned food editor said that this was the best pizza he had ever had on earth! Once he said that, Pizzeria Bianca was in my crosshairs! This has been on my bucket list for several years and I'm so excited that my husband and I finally got the chance to take the time to visit Arizona and try this delicious pizza. We came on a Sunday afternoon, it was not busy when we arrived, which was nice because they seated us right away. Our waitress was really sweet, she let us plug in our phone by the bar because my husband's phone was dying because it was the wrong plug for the rental car. We had already been studying the menu before we got there so we ordered pretty quick. We were undecided between the Rosa and the biancoverde so the waitress went and talked to the kitchen and they were able to do half-and-half so we could try both! And of course we always try everyone's Margherita pizza to see how well they do with the basics. The Rosa is the pizza that made Chef Chris, famous according to our server, definitely the most unique pizza we have ever had in our lives! It is a delicious first of pistachio, rosemary, and red onion! Not pizza is an olive oil base, no red sauce, but honestly, I would have liked some red sauce on the side to dip it in just to have the acid to cut through the richness of the cheese and the oil. The biancoverde also did not have a red sauce and was very good, but just a bit overkill on the arugula, I don't think it needed that much. The margharita pizza was really good, definitely the best one we've ever had. It was a perfect balance of sauce, cheese, and basil. Most Margherita pizzas are very naked with just a drop of cheese and it makes you feel like you are just eating crust and sauce. I washed mine down with a local beer, I went with the cactus bird, juicy wheat, very light citrusy flavor. Everything was so excellent, sadly, we were underwhelmed with the little gem salad. It's not that it didn't taste good. It's just that $12 for lettuce and cheese is crazy. If it was much larger or had other vegetables in it I would understand $12 for that salad. Overall, we had a great experience, we love that they had indoor and outdoor dining. Since we are exceptionally grateful that they let us get two flavors on one pizza since we were from out of town. Definitely great service! read more

Gotta be honest, Pizzeria Bianco's singature pizza, the Rosa was a bit of a letdown. Maybe it's the parmigiano riggiano, but the pizza got super hard after it had cooled off a few minutes. I would definitely recommend finishing this pizza while it's hot otherwise it's not enjoyable. I enjoyed the margherita more, but in the end it made me wonder why so many people are crazy about their pizzas. read more

Stepping into Pizzeria Bianco, you may squint to see in the dim but natural light, but your nose will know what you're about to taste. Tradition without frills, recipes made with an assured confidence, you cannot go wrong. Perfectly charred pizza from an endlessly stoked wood burning brick oven, perfuming the air with a faint smoke, caramelizing onions, bubbling cheese and red sauces, rosemary and olive oil discover their sublimates. Somehow avoiding the touristy kitsch that comes with a James Beard Award, the service is friendly, but also indifferent to some the charm. Perfect perhaps, when this is your every day? read more

We got three different pizzas in our group so we could try different ones. Even though all the pizzas were different styles, they were all amazing and tasty. The sausage had sweet onions on it with no sauce, the arugula had no sauce but three cheeses, and the last one had a tomato sauce with meat. They were all outstanding and I would eat any one of them over and over again. The crust was cooked perfect and it was delicious all by itself.

Just like their main location but with much easier parking. I love love love their rosa pizza and the biancoverde is pretty damn good beyond it being entirely covered in arugula (personal issue there - very tasty but it was a lot of arugula). But would i order all of it again, hell yes. The lighting was a little dim (again, me problem cause i'm half blind) but i loved the ambiance. Also you can even place a resy here (unlike their other location) which makes it real easy to plan for, be it just a weekend lunch/dinner or celebration! read more
