I have to put a plug in for Il Forno Bello that just opened up in NE Mesa.

We just had dinner there and I love that's it's so much closer to us than Pizzeria Bianco.

You can read a quick description (hot off the press) by clicking HERE.

Chef what did you get?  Ill have to check this out maybe lunch on Saturday.

Pane Balsamico: Mixed green salad with balsamic dressing

Margherita Pizza: The sauce is great, and the mozzarella is very good

Arizona Pizza: slightly caramelized red onion, fresh rosemary, and pistachios (Bianco's famous)

The Finocchio Pizza with the fennel sausage is a go-to at Bianco's.  I'm certain it is the same here.  We were just stuffed!

Enjoy your lunch and take some pics!

Did a pickup at Il Forno Bello, you cant preorder pickup, only at the restaurant.  Picked up 2 Margherita pizzas, 1 extra cheese.  Definitely a Bianco style for sure.  Crust was great, if you aren't into wood/coal fired ovens, may not be the bottom you like.  Really enjoyed the extra cheese pie, sucker for cheese!

Ate a few slices in the car on my way home.

Hope you enjoyed them! I noticed their to-go boxes were different too.

You are correct, if you’re not a fan of the char, this may not be for you.

Boxes are probably way easier to recycle. It is a solid 30 mins from me, sucks they are so limited on options.
