Pizzeria Bianco - Phoenix, Arizona

If you thought you were obsessed with pizza, you haven't met Chris Bianco, a James Beard award winner and all-around pizza God who even made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to teach host Jimmy Kimmel and actor Billy Crystal how to make what has been called the best pizza in America. So what makes his eponymous pizzeria so phenomenal? Every single element of his artisanal, Neapolitan-style pizzas is crafted with care and an emphasis on local ingredients of the highest quality. The cheese, sausage and cured meats are house-made, among others. And over the course of 30 years, Pizzeria Bianco has made Phoenix one of the top pizza destinations in the country. 'Nuff said.
