[lost meals] Pizzeria Bianco [2], Phoenix AZ

The lost meals entries consist of meals that occurred at various times throughout 2012 which, for any number of reasons, escaped my documentation – some due to a cross country move and a new job, some due to the Los Angeles Kings run to the Stanley Cup, and some simply as a result of too much travel. Having enjoyed many of these meals with friends or family and with some of them amongst the year’s very best the reality is that with time my memory has deteriorated and as life moves forward I’ve realized there is little hope to ever “catch up” or document these experiences as well as I’d hope, yet in order to preserve them I present these pictures, notes, and thoughts on the experience.

Bianco Bread and Olive Oil

Spiedini – Italian Fontina wrapped in La Quercia Organic Prosciutto

Margherita with Tomato Sauce, Fresh Mozzarella, Basil

Rosa with Red Onion, Parmesan, Rosemary, AZ Pistachios

You arrive early or you wait in line, just like the first time (https://endoedibles.com/?p=861)

You order the Rosa or you are a fool.

If you’ve got dining partners you also order a Margherita…or pretty much anything on the menu.

This is pizza as an art-form and although there is some debate as to who is truly the “best” in the country there is no argument that Pizzeria Bianco is in the conversation.
