Rachael Ray Picks the Best Pizza in America
Arizona pizza just got a little bit of respect. While most people would pick either the cities Chicago or New York as having the best pizza, Rachael Ray Magazine’s March 2010 issue has crowned a Phoenix, Arizona pizza restaurant as best in the whole USA.
The magazine enlisted Adam Kuban and Ed Levine from the website SeriousEats.com to find the best pie in the 50 states. Kuban and Levine flew around America scouting for the best pizza in the country. They divided the country into regions and picked 64 pizzerias to try. Pizzeria Bianco won the top slot.
Co-owner and chef of Pizzeria Bianco, Chris Bianco, is no stranger to accolades. He won the prestigious James Beard Award for Best Chef in the Southwest in 2003 (the Oscar of the restaurant industry). This is not the first time writer Ed Levine has eaten at Pizzeria Bianco. He wrote about it in the New York Times and for his book “Pizza: A Slice of Heaven.”
Why Bianco? “Pizza is all about balance, texture, skill and taste,” Levine says. He adds that Bianco “isn’t trying to replicate Neapolitan pizza,” but that “he’s bringing his own artistry and craftsmanship.” “You can taste how much he cares,” says Levine.
Chris Bianco hasn’t just leant his name to the sign on the building. For over 20 years he has overseen every pizza that came out of his wood-fired pizza. Unfortunately asthma has gotten the better of him and he has had to step away from the oven.
Along with Phoenix pizza, here is the line up of top pizzerias in America according to Levine and Kuban:
Pizzeria Bianco – Phoenix, Arizona
Great Lake Chicago, Illinois
Motorino – New York, New York
Pizzeria Mozza – Los Angeles, California
Verasano’s Pizzeria – Atlanta, Georgia
Dough Pizzeria Napoletana – San Antonio, Texas
Antico Pizza Napoletana – Atlanta, Georgia
Russo’s NY Coal-Fired Pizza – Houston, Texas
