waited an hour on an off peak period brightest legendary place. however once we finally ate we were slightly disappointed. the oh itself was amazing however the toppings did lack flavor and creativity. the sausage one was our favorite however the onion chunks were so large and definitely needed to be cut smaller, the Verde was too much arugula over a cheese pizza and could have definitely benefited from a crunchy or salty element. the staff was kind enough to give us also another pizza for free .
Even before their appearance on Netflix I have been a fan of Pizzeria Bianco and always wanted to visit and fortunately I was able to! The place is small and busy but well worth the wait! A great place that deserves all the accolades. We basically ordered everything and shared and enjoyed every as well as their selection on beer as we waited. Staff was amazing and made our experience great!
Did not disappointed. Overall five stars. Now let’s break it down. When it comes to the wait time… be ready to wait at least an hour on the weekends. Don’t show up and they tell you oh it’s an hour 30 min and he surprised. Moving on to the food! Great taste overall, would I give it a 10? No, but I do give it a 9.2, I would put it up there with Lucali and John’s if you’re familiar with New York locations you know what I’m talking about. The crust was perfect, the sauce was delicious, the cheese was great! The service was great! The workers treated us so nicely and often check on you! Location, beautiful little spot, love that they have the bar next door for people that are waiting and you have some shops and the science center next door also if you wanna go do that while you wait. Parking wasn’t bad, it was 10 dollar valet parking, the guy was super nice. Overall amazing place and great food! Can’t go wrong!
You can expect a 2 hour minimum wait but it wasn’t too bad. We went next door for drinks and appetizers (bread and salami).
The pizza is very good. I think we may have gotten in on a night when the oven was a little too hot. Pretty much every pizza was slightly over charred at the edge to. I like a good char on pizza but this was a little too far.
You only get 1 opportunity to at the beginning so you have to order everything at once. Luckily the pizza takes a little while to come out so you have time to enjoy salads. We had the fresh mozzarella salad (mozzarella, roasted peppers, EVOO, basil, salt and pepper). It was outstanding and I highly recommend it.
Pizzas we tried: margarita, sonny boy and wise guy.
Margarita was great, the sauce is excellent.
Sonny boy was very good also.
Wise guy had a bunch of ingredients that I though would be great but I feel like they didn’t go well together.
All it’s been said to be!
I arrived with three friends on a Tuesday afternoon. We wanted to go around lunch, as we thought it’d be less crowded. We were told an hour wait but we’re given a table after 25 minutes.
The staff was very friendly and it never felt chaotic inside but just well-oiled.
The pizza - we tried four different ones - was absolutely delicious. Great ratio of crust to toppings and if you’re very hungry you’ll be able to eat an entire pizza without a problem. They’re delicious.
A great trip to make if you find yourself in Phoenix.
The pizza definitely lived up to the lofty expectations, the fresh ingredients were so apparent and made a world of difference in the flavor, it's almost as if they were crushing the Roma tomatoes by hand in the kitchen. Even the red pepper flakes were fresh, they were potent. The moisture from the tomatoes did make the pizza a little soggy in the middle, but that didn't ruin the experience. We really enjoyed the bread and olive oil appetizer, but the bread was cold and we would have liked it warmed a bit. The atmosphere was bustling and the excitement was palpable, although it's a little cramped and there isn't much room on the tables if you're getting multiple pies. The service was excellent all around. It was a terrific experience and well worth the wait.
The antipasto was amazing. The grilled vegetables was sweet and delicious. The mozzarella salad was great.
The pizza was a letdown. My guess is because it didn’t come to the table fresh, hot, and out of the oven.
The crust was chewy which I really like. The topping was good.
As seen on Chef’s Table. The show built this place as the best pizzeria on earth in the back of my head so I had to make the detour and try it out.
A detail oriented service paired with a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Fresh ingredients beautifully paired together. The pie was a little dry for my taste but still top tier pizza.
Like everybody else, I had seen the Netflix special and put this on my list if I ever got to Phoenix. Well, this week I did and we ate there and it was everything you would expect.
The thing we did not have was a wait, surprisingly. We expected a 1 to 2 hour wait, given everybody else's reviews, but waited five minutes. I had just been handed my beer by the bartender, when I was texted that the table was ready.
We ordered a salad, which was plenty large enough to share for 2 people and two pizzas. The pizzas are not large, but we ended up taking about 1/2 a pizza home since we were full. They initially brought some fresh baked bread and olive oil to snack on.
The pace of service was great, and everyone was friendly from the valet parker to the host to the waitress and the busser.
We were staying in Scottsdale so it was a little bit of a drive, but it was definitely worth it. We would definitely eat here again if we were back in the Phoenix area.

We actually tried to eat here three times before getting in. First time was a Friday night at the Adams Street location. Got there at 5. 1-1.5 hr wait. I prob would’ve understood except all the outside tables were empty and half the interior tables were empty???? So how there was a 2 hr wait I don’t understand. We ended up going across the way to Latha and got drinks after 1.5 hr got appetizer and one entree to snack on at Latha. After 2 hrs, he led with host and they still did not table for us. Crazy.
We removed our name and stayed at Latha - Food there was top notch!!!!
Next day tried to call and see if we could do pick up or takeout nobody would answer phone at either location.
Sunday, went to location on N 20th right when it opened at 11 and there was already a line. Only had to wait maybe 5 min. Server was wonderful. She seemed taken a back by our experience Friday not being able to get a seat.
We ordered the fresh mozerella, paperedella pasta, Rosa pizza and margherita pizza.
Thoughts:
Prob best caprese salad I have ever had. That mozerella cheese is out of this world.
The paparedella pasta ( homemade) with the Ragu ❤️. Prob one of the best ragu pasta dishes I have ever had. And for a place famous for its pizza, me
Personally I would say skip the pizza and do the pasta and mozerella. You won’t regret it
The pizza - the Rosa has a very unique combination of flavors and textures. Not my favorite but I didn’t hate it.
The margherita pizza - rich tomato sauce creamy mozerella and fresh basil, the the star of the show on both pizzas was the crust. Just crispy enough around edges to give it crunch but not doughy.
Would I say it’s best slice ever, no. Luckily in Lincoln, NE we have to great pizza places with great unique flavor combinations and some solid crusts as well. But that caprese and pasta are top notch!!!
