Pizzeria Bianco

Pizzeria Bianco is a Phoenix pizza landmark where carefully made wood-fired pies turned a downtown pizzeria into a national food destination. Visiting in person is the best way to understand why a simple pizza became a culinary pilgrimage.

Goldbelly's pizza category identifies Pizzeria Bianco as one of America's notable pizzerias; chef Chris Bianco is a James Beard Award winner.

Reservations or off-peak visits can help. The Heritage Square location is the classic CityLens stop.
