"While it is now a limited chain, with six restaurants located across Phoenix and Los Angeles, the restaurant that represents Arizona on our list of the best pizza places in every state started in the late 1980s with just one location, originally tucked into the back of a grocery store. From that humble beginning, the rise of Chris Bianco's career as a pizza maker and restaurateur has been meteoric."
"In 2003, Bianco won the first James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Southwest, and, notably, was the first pizzaiolo to be so honored. He was also the star of the first episode of the pizza-centric season of "Chef's Table." That same year, Bianco was again honored by the James Beard Foundation as an "Outstanding Restaurateur" - so it's no wonder that Gordon Ramsay also ranked it among the best pizza restaurants."
Pizzeria Bianco began in the late 1980s as a single location tucked into the back of a grocery store. The business expanded into a limited chain with six restaurants across Phoenix and Los Angeles. Chris Bianco's career as a pizza maker and restaurateur rose rapidly, earning him the 2003 James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Southwest and recognition as the first pizzaiolo to receive that honor. Bianco also starred in the first episode of the pizza-centric season of "Chef's Table" and was named an "Outstanding Restaurateur" by the James Beard Foundation. The menu emphasizes simple, high-quality ingredients and classic Neapolitan pizzas like marinara and Margherita.
