Phoenix wood-fired pizza · Phoenix
The blistered, wood-fired pies that put Phoenix on the national map, built on a long-fermented crust and a short list of named pizzas like the Wiseguy and the Rosa.
Chris Bianco opened Pizzeria Bianco in 1988 in the back of a grocery store, moved to Heritage Square in 1997 and won a James Beard award in 2003, the first pizzaiolo to do so. His wood-fired pies, the Wiseguy with smoked mozzarella and the Rosa with pistachios and red onion, became the benchmark that drew pizza pilgrims to Phoenix and seeded the city's wider wood-fired and Neapolitan scene.
