| - I was able to complete the Bianco Trifecta (Pane, Bar, and Pizzeria) in one day and despite having to wait 3 hours to get into Pizzeria Bianco it was totally worth it! This was probably the best pizza I've had outside Naples.
WAIT TIME - 3 HOURS:
-- AC and I arrived at 4pm on a Saturday afternoon. Bianco opens at 5pm and there was already a good sized line. Bar Bianco next door opens at 4pm, so you could go in and get drinks while you wait in line. Some people even brought lawn chairs like they were out for a tailgate or a picnic. Once the place opened and they started taking names they said it would be a 2 hour wait.
-- After wandering around downtown for a while we headed to Bar Bianco for some wine, apps, and a game of chess. An excellent way to pass the time.
-- The staff at Bar Bianco came by and told us our table was ready, right about 7pm. 1hr to put our names in + 2 hours to wait = 3 hours total waiting time.
FOOD - OUTSTANDING:
-- Spiedini, $10 - Italian Fontina wrapped in Prosciutto di Parma, served warm. What a way to start a meal! Served on skewers, this is an amazing appetizer. The cheese was melty without dripping everywhere and the warm prosciutto was excellent.
-- Salad, $6 - Local Organic Greens with Red Wine Vinaigrette. Pretty standard, mixed green salad.
-- Margherita Pizza, $13 - Tomato Sauce, Fresh Mozzarella, Basil. This is why you come here, and it lived up to expectations. The crust was perfectly chewy with a bit of char and flavor from the brick oven. The crust alone would make a great dish. The tomato sauce had the right amount of tang, wasn't too sweet, and they didn't drench the pizza in sauce. The mozzarella was excellent and the basil was out of this world. Better than anything you could grow in your own garden.
-- Salami and Olive Pizza, $16? - Tomato Sauce, Fresh Mozzarella, Salami, and Kalamata Olives. There was no skimping on the toppings here. First class, quality ingredients and plenty of it. If you like cured meats this is the way to go.
