11 Best Pizza Spots in Metro Phoenix

Rosa at Pizzeria Bianco -- and sometimes -- Italian Restaurant

Pizzeria Bianco/Italian Restaurant

So now we've come full circle, back to the guy who started the artisanal pizza trend in Phoenix. How do I feel about Bianco's ballyhooed product after nine days of eating my weight in pizza everywhere else? Like I've come home. I still love his thin-crust pies. They're always the perfect balance of crustiness, tenderness and chewiness, creatively topped with the best local ingredients Bianco can find. These days, Bianco's newest venture -- Italian Restaurant at Town & Country -- offers three pizzas every day, a Margherita, a Marinara, and a Market pizza -- the Rosa (one of my all-time favorites, $16) the day of my visit. Topped with red onion, pistachios, rosemary, and Parmigiano-Reggiano, it's rich, greasy from the buttery quality of the cheese, and so very good it takes all the restraint I can muster not to polish off the entire thing.

While many of the picks are great, some of those barely resemble pizzas.

Missing from the list: Mellow Mushroom.

Pizza a Metro deserves consideration here.  And you missed the point that Pane Bianco has 4 of the Pizzeria Bianco pizzas (for dinner except for summer).

those all look great, but sadly the best pizza ever in the valley, Pizza D'Amore, is gone forever

Great list...though a caveat about Bianco/Italian Restaurant: the pies at Italian Restaurant are simply not the same as the Pizzeria. Same ingredients, perhaps, but not nearly the same flavor and crust. A little greasier too. Tried them 3x now and resolved to just go to the Pizzeria if I want the good stuff.
