Pizza Review
Got the wise guy and the pizza was great. Meat was top notch and crust was to die for. Was busy so bottom of pizza may not have been as crisp as it normally would be, but still amazing.
Pizza Review
🏆LEGENDARY PIZZA ALERT🏆 🇮🇹BEST NEAPOLITAN ALERT🇮🇹 🌵BEST OF ARIZONA ALERT🌵 🇺🇸BEST OF USA ALERT🇺🇸 Founded by world renowned pizzaiolo & Bronx-born chef Chris Bianco in the back corner of a grocery store in Phoenix, AZ in 1988, eventually establishing this Heritage Square location in 1997 and since expanding to a few other Phoenix spots along with a pizzeria in Los Angeles, CA. Widely considered to be a top pizza destination in the United States, Pizzeria Bianco has more critical acclaim & genuine hype surrounding it than any other pizzeria outside of New York & New Haven. Aesthetically astounding, they create hand-crafted artisan wood-fired Neapolitan style pizza that’s baked at 800° for roughly 5 minutes, producing some of the crispiest & crunchiest wood oven pies I’ve ever seen & tasted. Perfectly charred, the undercarriage is firm, remarkably crispy with an outrageously crunchy crust and simply sublime smokey flavor with each bite. Slightly soft in some spots, a tad chewy in parts of the crust, the dough is thin & light with tremendous texture for a wood-fired pie, along with deliciously dynamite taste, easily the best Neapolitan dough I’ve ever had. Similarly outstanding, the fresh, creamy, melty mozzarella is mouth-watering, perfectly distributed with a delectable flavor that compliments the sauce & dough marvelously. Made from Bianco DiNapoli tomatoes, organically grown in California, the sauce is scintillatingly sweet, but not too saccharine, exploding with zest & zing, along with tons of tang & a plethora of pizzazz. Truly a sensational symphony of spices & flavors that sings & shines brightly above all the other components while working in perfect harmony with every ingredient in the pizza; some fresh basil accents the best attributes of the sauce, adding flavor & a touch of class. With a fantastically fresh look, feel & taste, this is wood-fired artisan Neapolitan pizza at its finest. This pie is worth the travel, worth the wait & worth the price, exceeding all of my expectations. Overall, this is an unparalleled combination of texture & taste among Neapolitan style pizza, truly Hall of Fame worthy. Wood fired pies are very hit or miss, with the majority too soft for my liking; but this pizza is right on target with its shockingly sensational crisp. While all of the specialty pizzas here are amazing, this Margherita pie is a must try for all pizza connoisseurs; make a pilgrimage to Phoenix and experience truly elite Neapolitan pizza created by one of the great pizzaiolos of all-time, Chris Bianco.
