| - I think this restaurant may have been hyped up too much prior to my visit. It was delicious, fresh, simple, and amazing, but I still felt like I wasn't entirely impressed... I am not sure.
We ordered a caprese salad (delicious - but how could it not be?), a salad made from whatever's in season (grapefruit, carved fennel, honey comb, and a few other things - sooo good, fresh and light, unusual flavors but it paired very well), and two pizzas. Everything was great.
The only reasons I am giving this place a 4 instead of a 5: 1) they were out of the original market salad (something like spinach, goat cheese, strawberries, pecans), they told us that they had some still but ran out immediately after (I was not too upset, as the replacement was great as well but my family was a bit upset). 2) The pizza here was amazing, but it was not particularly amazing in comparison with other upscale pizza joints in Phoenix. Cibo, La Piazza PHX, etc, are all delicious brick oven pizza restaurants that are magnificent and I love the style of pizza they serve, but I think they are all equal. I didn't think pizzaria bianco stood out as being the best pizza, it was just like the other highly-rated pizza restaurants in phoenix. This isnt a weakness, but rather I would say it just simply isn't a strength. I don't know... I may have had too high expectations for this place seeing as I have heard so much about it beforehand! It was still amazing though, but I would say the highiglht of my meal was the salad, not the pizza, because the salad was something unlike anything I have eaten before.
