Pizzeria Bianco

It's not often that a pizza place ranks as one of the most famous restaurants in a city, but this little downtown hole in the wall is exactly that. Chef/owner Chris Bianco has a huge reputation both here in the Valley and across the nation. That's why you're going to have to wait and wait and wait to get a seat here. When you finally get seated, you can judge for yourself whether the rustic, brick-oven pizzas are worth the wait. I'm a fan (my personal favorite is made with red onion, Parmesan, rosemary, and crushed pistachios), but I'm not convinced these pizzas are really as good as the line out the door would suggest. If you do eat here, be sure to order something with the fresh, house-made mozzarella. You can ease the pain of the wait by going next door to Bar Bianco.
