Who is Chris Bianco?

Chris Bianco, a celebrated chef and restaurateur from Arizona, USA, is the founder of Bianco Food and Pizzeria Bianco. His journey to pizza mastery took him to Italy, where he refined his skills in pizza-making, a key factor in his subsequent success in the pizza industry.

Early Life

Born in 1960 in the Bronx, New York, Chris Bianco grew up in Ossining, New York. As a child, he faced health challenges due to asthma, which often kept him indoors. It was during these times at home that his aunt introduced him to cooking. Chris’s culinary journey began early; he started working at a local pizzeria at just 13 years old. Eventually, he left high school to pursue his passion for pizza-making. His skill set expanded further as he learned the art of making Mozzarella cheese at Mike’s Deli in the Bronx.

Career

Chris Bianco’s journey took a significant turn when he moved to Phoenix and began supplying Mozzarella cheese to a local pizza establishment. This opportunity allowed him to learn about the intricacies of catering, and he soon experimented with making pizzas in a wood-fired oven. His talent caught the eye of a Costco catering event attendant, who offered him a small space in the corner of their store to sell his pizzas. There, Chris began offering Margherita, Marinara, and one signature pizza, quickly gaining popularity in the city.

In 1988, driven by a desire to perfect his craft, Chris set a goal to turn his passion for pizza-making into a lucrative career. He worked diligently to save money for a trip to Italy, where he could refine his pizza-making skills. After six months of intensive study in Italy, he returned to the U.S. and settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico. There, he spent three years working in an Italian restaurant.

In 1994, Chris returned to Phoenix, where he opened his own establishment, Pizzeria Bianco, in the Town & Country Shopping Center Mall. His success continued to grow, and in 1997, he opened Bar Bianco. His achievements were recognized in 2003 when he was awarded the James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef Southwest.

In 2005, Chris expanded his culinary empire by launching pane bianco, a lunch and sandwich shop located on Central Avenue, about four kilometers from Pizzeria Bianco. However, in 2010, due to health concerns from his asthma, which was exacerbated by exposure to oven heat and flour, doctors advised him to step back from cooking. Following this, his brother Marco Bianco took over the pizza-making responsibilities at his establishments.
