| - I've been meaning to try this place for the past several years, but have been put off by the wait time. Last night (Friday), my friend (a former Phx resident) was back in town for a quick visit and wanted for us to finally try out Pizzeria Bianco. We put our name down around 8:30pm and were surprised to hear the wait was only about 1hr 15mins -1hr 30. We went next door to the bar (which was super cute, btw!) and chatted over a bottle of wine. Right when we started to get really hungry, we were notified that our table was ready. Yay.. time to find out what all the hype is about!
Since there were 6 of us, we decided we'd order 1 of each pizza so we could try it all. However, once the waiter came to take our orders, we all changed up our orders. After about 10-15mins or so, out came our pizzas. Well, 5ish of the 6. I say, "5ish," because the 6th one was really really burnt (whereas ours were just "really burnt") and the waiter said another one would be made and ready in 2 mins.
We all hungrily waited for the last pizza to come out and when it finally did, we dug in. I dont know if it's bc we waited a few mins or what, but all of our pizzas were soggy. That combined w/ the burntness made for a very bleh pizza. While it wasn't horrible, I dont see how it could get all the hype and 5 stars that it does.
Since the ingredients were really fresh, the wait wasn't as bad as anticipated, PB (and the bar) have a cute cozy atmosphere and the service was good, I'd be willing to give it another try.. but definitely not if the wait is any more than 1.5hrs.
