Pizzeria Bianco Los Angeles

Pizzeria Bianco proves that Los Angeles can more than hold its own in the pizza conversation. Long lines still snake through ROW DTLA, with diners crowding both the dining room and takeout window in pursuit of Chef Chris Bianco’s famously blistered pies. The menu remains tightly focused, featuring just a handful of pizzas executed with remarkable consistency, from the “Biancoverde” topped with fresh mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, ricotta and arugula to the “Wiseguy” layered with wood-roasted onion, fennel sausage and smoked mozzarella. The margherita remains a benchmark in its simplicity, while antipasti, salads, sandwiches at lunch and ricotta gnocchi round out the menu.
