Looks fabulous, Vader. Except for the fish. Ew.

Ooo...
Pepperoni and anchovies.
Add slices of fresh mushrooms and banana pepper rings
and you have my favorite pizza!

In Phoenix AZ this week. Heard about a place that chefs and critics are calling "the best pizza on the planet." Well, you know I had to go. Seriously, read some of the reviews, people talk about this place as if it's crack and they are addicts-www.yelp.com/biz/pizzeria-bianco-phoenix. When people joke about bringing playing cards, beach towels, and sunscreen to wait and it's worth it, it's gotta be good.

All I have to say is it's pretty effing good pizza.

You gotta get there before 5 and still there is already a wait. I wanted to get the Margherita and add the fennel sausage but I ended up ordering the Wiseguy. Pizza Nirvana. And cheap. I was expecting to pay quite a bit more. The restaurant is tiny. WTF? If people think it's so great (and it is) why don't they expand, open new locations, etc?

Ok double post. That's because I'm back at Pizzeria Blanco. Pizza nirvana. If it was easier, I would have posted a pic of all the people that were waiting here at 4 for the 5 o'clock opening.

They got a wood oven and that's all I need to know to be sure this place must be good. You can't make pizza without a good wood oven.

Of course you can make a yeast dough, roll it flat and cover it with tomato sauce, all sorts of stuff and cheese and bake it in your oven - but that's not pizza, that's simply flat dough being baked with sauce and stuff on top.

I'm so much building my own wood oven in the garden next summer.
