Pizzeria Bianco - Downtown
Chris Bianco started the first Pizzeria Bianco inside the back corner of a neighborhood grocery store in Arizona in 1988. At the time, he had no clue that he would be such a driving force in the slow food movement, specifically the artisanal pizza front. After moving his pizzeria to a strip mall in 1994 as demand for space grew, he made his final journey to 623 Adams Street in 1997, where Pizzeria Bianco has proudly stood since.
