Find Pie Precision at Pizzeria Bianco in Downtown Los Angeles

"With floor-to-ceiling windows, a long and welcoming dining room, fresh miniature flowers on each table, and an uncomplicated menu, Bianco - a 2022 transplant of the lauded Phoenix, Arizona pizzeria - remains consistently a place where you can find one of the region's most precise pizza crusts. Stationed in the expansive mixed-use ROW on Alameda Street between Olympic and Seventh, it becomes a good place to plan around a lengthy Downtown hangout."

"Walking the ROW complex can be an experience itself with its massive industrial buildings, retail shops, and Smorgasburg every Sunday. After wandering for a bit, ducking into Bianco feels like a respite from the prismatic ROW stimuli: marked by blistered wood-fired pizzas, a glass of Lambrusco, and honeyed olive oil cake. After viewing the space and pizza production area, order focaccia and antipasto with roasted vegetables, meats, and cheese. This move will stave off hunger for a bit."

"Though the margherita is solid, go for the non-traditional Rosa with red onion, rosemary, pistachios from Santa Barbara, and Parmigiano Reggiano. Bianco's standout pie remains the Wiseguy, prepared with onions roasted in the wood oven, smoked mozzarella, and fennel sausage. The flavor tastes reminiscent of French onion soup but with crust as its base, not topper. Though the menu often changes seasonally,"
