we've been coming to PB since 1996. This will probably be the last time we go out of our way to eat there. The pizza's have definitely lost there wow factor. No flavor. I remember when every bite was an explosion of taste and no one could match Chris's wow factor for anything he put together. So sad. 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

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

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

I saw this delicious place on a Netflix special called the Chefs table. I happened to be in Phoenix so I decided to give this place a try. We were seated promptly when our table was ready. I was excited to see that the vibe was similar to an old school Italian eatery. The pizza was tasty and well prepared. I look forward to visiting again if I'm in the area. Thanks Chris! 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

Finally made it to Pizzeria Bianco! We came at the right time because when we left there was an actual line to check in. There were 6 of us and we ordered 3 pies. At first we thought it wouldn't be enough but it was plenty. Definitely trying the other pies next time. 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

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

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

Pizzeria Bianco - Italian Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

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

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

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

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

Great food, good ambiance, and nice service. You can grab a drink at their bar next store while you wait for your table.

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. Bartender said waits in the evening can still be an hour to an hour and half. Ordered the Margherita and Hand Made Mozzarella, excellent but not with an hour wait if I had to, plan accordingly 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

Saw this spot on Netflix and although this isn't the main restaurant, the pizza is absolutely delicious. The service was great, the restaurant has a cool vibe, and they have outdoor seating. 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. You have to eat this pizza if you're in town, you won't be sorry... read more

I was honestly very disappointed. I had been looking forward to trying Pizzeria Bianco for awhile now after seeing an awesome TikTok video someone made about it and how delicious it all looked. So I met a friend there for lunch and shopping and she arrived first. It was a Friday and although the restaurant has lots of indoor and outdoor seating options, not even 1/4 of the seating was full and yet they sat her at the smallest wooden table in middle of delivery path, right under a fireplace mantle sticking out protruding into our space as well. The chairs were super uncomfortable as well but as we started ordering an appetizer and our two different pizzas, we quickly realized not only was it awkward, there literally was no room for all of our food. Seeing all of the empty larger sized table nearby we asked one of the servers if we could be moved. He said he had to ask the manager. Odd. So we waited for quite some time and in the meanwhile my friend asked another worker for a pizza box and put hers in it and on the floor -I kid you not, as we still had no room for all of our food. He finally came back and said the manager said no, they were keeping all of the other tables open for larger parties if they came in. Both of our jaws dropped, like what? Mind you not one of them was sat the entire time we ate. The place was empty, no rush or anything. Other than eating out of boxes on the floor lol and putting our empty plates on the table next to us rhat was empty, the server was friendly overall and always quick to bring us food, sides, extra napkins, refills etc. The bathrooms were unisex, which I truly dislike because we all know men often make a mess and leave the toilet seat up- and lucky me whoever used it before me didn't flush either. So yeah not pleasant. The appetizer and salad was really quite good but we both thought the pizzas were just decent. After being treated that way I don't think I'll be back that truly was ridiculous. There was no reason they couldn't have moved us and accommodated us to a table that held all of our food while we were eating it! read more

It was hot, wasn't sure I wanted pizza, sat on patio with our dog, it was delicious. The crust was crisp, so flavorful and the toppings were the right amount. We had a salad and share it all with 3. It was a great taster and precursor to our next food adventure. 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

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

Service was awesome. Despite reviews I'd read saying it's busy at all times of the day/week, we came in the early afternoon to a mostly empty restaurant. While it's hard to not enjoy pizza, I did find this generally lacking in flavor. The sauce and crust were under salted. The sausage was lacking spice. I'll be honest, I eat a lot of Neapolitan pizza, and this wasn't one of the better ones. read more

Pizzeria Bianco absolutely lives up to its reputation as one of the best pizzas in the country. I was in Arizona for work and made a point to visit the original location, and it did not disappoint. The pizza is thin, deeply flavorful, and unmistakably its own, simple on the surface, but incredibly memorable once you start eating. Everything is balanced and intentional, from the dough to the toppings to the bake. This is the kind of pizza that reminds you why Bianco is so respected. If you're anywhere near Phoenix, this is a must-stop and a place that stays with you long after the last slice. read more

Our server, Mick, was a gem. First visit and we were underwhelmed. I must say, their pizza crust is heavenly. But, the toppings were not good nor was our prosciutto appetizer - both tasted a bit "off, " or maybe just not what we're used to. Thus, my 4 star rating. Pleasant enough, just not great enough to go out of your way for. read more

Pizzeria Bianca is always a great experience, I've been going to Chris's pizza place for probably 20 years now. This particular location I love especially during the Makers Market that happens several times a year. Today I took friends who have never been. As an appetizer we shared the fresh mozzarella and the chicken salad with potatoes. Then the guys ate the Sonney boy pizza and us ladies had the Biancoverde. Everyone in the staff is always so friendly - hostess, server, cooks - they all take time to acknowledge their guests. read more

Ate a late lunch at the bar. Had the seasonal mozzarella that had some spectacular peppers. Fresh mozzarella might be a B- in the northeast but is probably an A+ in the desert. Pizza was also the best I've had in the valley. A northeasterner might not consider it the most spectacular pizza ever, but it'll be respected as solid by anyone. Flavors were good enough that I want to explore the menu more. That's probably the best compliment I can give a new place. Service 10/10. read more
