Pizzeria Bianco Mops the Floor with Mozza

The two times I've been we have gone on Tuesday around 4pm and we have been seated right at five with no issues. So next time you visit you can give it a try. Also, they take reservations for 6-10 people so if you have a party you can go that route.

Just adding a special mention for an appetizer. The spiedini which is fontina cheese wrapped in proscuitto it's amazing. Glad you like the Rosa Lance.

Next time you go there try the Rosa pizza. It has crushed pistachios, unbelievable. The pizza just isn't great, it's the whole experience. After dinner the wife said she had the best latte she's ever had. It just goes back to the freshest ingredients available. Can't wait to go back.

My brother lives in Chandler, AZ. Bianco is 20 minutes away. Grimaldi's is down the street. No cramped apartment. What's wrong with this picture?

If you hit a weekday, 4PM often works. Not for Saturdays.

Re: reservations. They do accept them, but the waiting list is 2-3 months.

Is that fennel sausage cooked before it goes on the pizza and into the oven? When I was there it seemed done just right.

Just got back from another visit. The Wiseguy is incredible, I was wrong the first time around. Fennel sausage like you've never tasted perfectly paired with sweet onions. Incredible. My revised order of preference is: Margherita, Wiseguy, Rosa, the White, Sonny Boy (salami and olives).

I used to eat at Classic Italian Pizza when I went to ASU...I'm not saying how long ago that was, but it was called something else back then. We mostly went for the cheap spaghetti back then, but they did have some good pizza too. Then again, what did we know all those years ago? The meatball sandwiches were great too!!

When my family and I traveled to Phoenix last year, we wanted to try Pizzeria Bianco, but were scared away by the long wait. I found a review for Pizzeria Bianco on the internet that suggested I try another place--Classic Italian Pizza in Tempe. This restaurant is tucked away in a fr corner of a strip mall. The pizza was great! We sat on their patio and had a great dinner. So, if the wait at Pizzeria Bianco is too long, try Classic Italian Pizza. You will not be disappointed.

I've actually gone back twice and you're so right about the Rosa. Even funnier, it's my wife's favorite, as well. I kind of dragged her there and when we left she gave a 10 minute dissertation on why Bianco is a master.
