Pizzeria Bianco

A pizzeria whose original downtown Phoenix location is at 623 East Adams Street. The restaurant was established in 1987 and moved to this Heritage Square location in 1996. Chef Chris Bianco won a James Beard Foundation award for best Southwest Chef in 2003, and the source describes him as the only pizza chef to have won a regional James Beard award; the restaurant received a Zagat score of 29 in 2000. Further locations opened in the Biltmore area of Phoenix in 2013 and in Los Angeles in 2022. Whether the Adams Street restaurant is trading today is not established: the article that covers it is written in the past tense throughout and states nothing about current operation.
