Here is my (probably not unique) take on Pizzeria Bianco:
Don’t come here on a budget, order away and leave satisfied.
Don’t expect to walk right in, unless you plan ahead (get there at 4 p.m.), and come on an off night.
Life isn’t fair, so pay attention to who is arriving before and after you as you arrive (if early), as we have been placed on the honor system, otherwise you may not make the first wave.
So, on to the grub. They have (über-cold) Four Peaks Sunbru on draft. This beer HAS to be super cold for me to like it, and it was that, and it pairs great with pasta/pizza. We started off with the antipasto, and yeah, we ate it all. The veggies cooked in wood gave it a nice flavor. Not necessarily the best antipasto ever, but different, and an excellent appetizer. We ordered a Sonny Boy (tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, salami, gaeta olives) and a Wiseguy (wood roasted onion, house smoked mozzarella, fennel sausage). The Wiseguy is a white pizza, which I am usually not too fond of, but the fennel sausage and ultra thin crust it was excellent. The real winner in this meal was the Sonny Boy. Literally covered in thin, crisping salami and mozzarella cheese that actually had flavor, this was hands down the best pizza I have ever had the pleasure of eating.
I will come here again, early, hopefully often.
Pizzeria Bianco is located at 623 E. Adams St. (in Heritage Square) in the Downtown District (light rail station at 3rd Street and Washington/Jefferson) — 602.258.8300
The DPJ Yelper of the Week offers honest insight on a Downtown business to help you explore your core. DPJ hopes that by partnering with Yelp to spread the good word about well-loved Downtown spots, you’ll spread your patronage and support local business.
Yelp is a social networking and local search engine that provides the reviews of places and things that matter to you. Simply log in, pick a place and queue up your inner critic. You can write a beaming review of your favorite gelato spot, or a scathing portrayal of that rental car facility you had to use after that curb came out of nowhere. Yelp’s reviews are at once honest, uncensored, wildly hilarious and true. Heck, the site must be doing something right — it had 26 million viewers just last month!
