Things to Do

Some recommendations for food & activities in the Gilbert area

Pizzeria Bianco

623 E Adams St, Phoenix, AZ 85004, USA
(602) 258-8300

The pizza here has been rated by top food critics as *the* best pizza worldwide (seriously). There are Italian pizzerias that buy their flour from the farms in Arizona that grow Pizzeria Bianca's pizza flour. They have their own episode of Chef's Table. It's that good.


Getting reservations can be impossible, but swing by for a lunch (particularly at the location in the photo) and you should be seated immediately.
