Description

Featured in Netflix's Chef's Table: PizzaFinalist for the Gourmand Awards (Italian category)"The road to pizza Nirvana goes through Phoenix...it just might be the best pizza in America." -Ed Levine, New York TimesWhen Chris Bianco started Pizzeria Bianco inside the back corner of a neighborhood grocery store in 1988, he had no idea that he would be a driving force in the artisanal pizza movement. All he knew was that his food would be the result of his relationships with farmers, local producers, customers, and staff, reflecting the respect and sincere intention that he brings to each of his recipes.Now the owner of a legendary pizza mecca and a James Beard award- winning chef, Chris Bianco brings us a full-color, fully illustrated cookbook illuminating the fundamentals of pizza making, from the basics of flour and water to the philosophy behind Bianco’s cooking. The book features recipes for his signature pies as well as strategies and techniques for translating chef’s methods to the home kitchen.Bianco celebrates both the simple and the nuanced, revealing the methods that lead to the perfect crust, the sweetest tomato sauce, the creamiest mozzarella, and the most expertly balanced flavor combinations. It also features recipes for market salads, tasting plates, and dessert options, as well as the staff meals that are cooked behind the scenes and a new array of main courses showcased at Chris’s wildly popular restaurants. With its attention to detail and tips for making unforgettable, flavorful pies, Bianco is an essential companion for any serious pizza maker. Read more

    • Buy it, the book has a ton of knowledge.
I think Chris seems like a pretty good guy and this book helps solidify my view of that. I enjoy learning about his approach towards food in general and life. The recipes are great and it’s made me better in the kitchen. I went to one of his restaurants in Arizona and had pizza there. His staff ran out of dough, but they actually made dough for us and made us a pizza anyway. That genuine desire to make people happy starts at the top of the organization and is present in everyone we encountered. This book is worth getting. ... show more

We have eaten at Biancos Phoenix location a few times and love the pizza. This summer I made it a goal to perfect my crust , and while it’s not quite as good it’s pretty close. Also following his philosophy of buying the best fresh ingredients you can find makes for a great pizza. My friends have loved being my Guinea pigs. ... show more

I have mixed feelings about this book. On the one hand, I'm very glad that Chris finally wrote it - I've been waiting for this book for many years. On the other, like many here, I'm disappointed by the pizza dough recipe. This really doesn't look like what he uses in the pizzeria. He offers only a single, straight dough recipe with a 3-5 hour rise. I tried this and found the crust a bit bland. I didn't expect the holy grail of dough recipes, but the recipe is very basic. You can find better pizza doughs in books such as The Pizza Bible and Tartine. However, there is a LOT of gold in this book. First off, Chris meticulously explains his pizza sauce - great! He goes over his 6 signature pizzas with detailed instructions - awesome. His salad dressings are excellent - I have tried the balsamic and red wine vinegar ones so far. His meatball recipe is killer! So my recommendation is - buy this book if you'd like to learn Chris' philosophy, his favorite recipes and his favorite pizza toppings. Know that the dough recipe in the book isn't that great and expect to alter it or swap it out for another. His flavor combinations will still be very enjoyable and can add to your repertoire. ... show more

    • Brave In Its Simplicity. Quality Simple Recipes. Love!
I am fortunate enough to live in Phoenix and have the opportunity to occasionally dine at the various Bianco restaurants. They are Italy in the desert. One thing people outside of Arizona and Phoenix don't seem to appreciate about the state is the number of fantastic organic farms and heirloom growers in the area, and all of the Bianco restaurants make gorgeous use of these ingredients. In this book, Chris Bianco was refreshingly straightforward and, in my opinion, generous with the recipes. If you tasted his food, you'd appreciate the exquisite simplicity and elegance with which his recipes are built. When he says that it's all about the quality of the ingredients, you'd believe him without question. I would almost go so far as to call him brave for publishing these simple recipes and the myriad ways he draws attention to the vital importance of details and quality. I was so confused by the negative reviews of this book until I read them. People don't seem to understand or appreciate how much our wheat and flour has changed. One perk of being a local is the ground-raised organic / heirloom wheat flour in a variety of grades available to us in the valley. You should source your wheat flour local to where you are with the specifications Chris Bianco outlines in his book. Yes. It makes that big of a difference. The details may not be flashy or exciting, but the difference between great art and just art is in the execution and the details. He gives you the details. There have been so many times I've purchased cookbooks from favorite chefs or restaurants and have been really disappointed when they put exotic-without-cause or complicated recipes in the book that are frankly too cumbersome for a home cook to make on a regular basis. Chris Bianco did the absolute opposite. He seemingly handed over the keys to his Italian-in-the-desert-kingdom. I'm pleasantly surprised and beyond grateful. If what you're seeking are the recipes for how he makes his simple yet exquisite recipes, they're all there and then some. ... show more
