Pizzeria Bianco delivers on a great handmade, wood fired, traditional pizza. Its touch to dethrone my personal LA favorite pizza from Mozza but Bianco is right there at the line!
I had been warned about the long waits, and seen them first hand in the evenings walking home from the stadium, so I slipped in right at 11 for the start of lunch. I got a table right away and was able to enjoy a great meal without feeling rushed in any way, I would definitely suggest trying for weekday lunch if you want to miss the crowds.
The pizza was really good with the great wood fired flavor that you can only experience in a few spots such as Bianco and Mozza. The dough and crust were perfect, I was really impressed with the crust that took on a great caramelized taste right around the edges. Don't run from what you think may be burnt spots, embrace the caramelized doughy bliss.
I sampled the Margherita which I consider the ultimate pizza to judge a spot by, and the Wiseguy because it sounded great and I could not pass up house smoked mozzarella. The Margherita passed the test with flying colors, the basil had a great aromatic presence that perfectly complimented the great tomato sauce. The Wiseguy was impressive and the smoked mozzarella complimented the wood fired greatness of the pizza as a whole.
Well done Pizzeria Bianco, if Phoenix were my hometown then you would be my top craft pizza spot in the States
