The Best Pizza in Phoenix
From a James Beard-winning wood-fired institution to the Scottsdale Neapolitan rooms — where to eat the best pizza in Phoenix and the East Valley.
Phoenix punches far above its weight on pizza, almost single-handedly thanks to Pizzeria Bianco — Chris Bianco won a James Beard Award and turned a Heritage Square pizzeria into a national pilgrimage. The picks below run from his wood-fired benchmark to the Scottsdale Neapolitan rooms and a Coronado square-slice favorite, each one scored and verified by Dim Hour.
A note on styles: Phoenix leans Neapolitan and wood-fired (blistered, soft-centered), with a few New York-style and square-cut outliers. Bianco draws the lines, so go early or expect a wait.
Pizzeria Bianco
The James Beard-winning institution that made Phoenix a pizza destination — wood-fired pies in a historic Heritage Square room. The Rosa (red onion, parmesan, rosemary, pistachio) and the Wiseguy are the canonical orders. Book on Resy.
Pomo Pizzeria Napoletana
A VPN-certified Neapolitan room in Scottsdale doing the textbook margherita and diavola — the most consistent traditional Neapolitan in the East Valley. Book on OpenTable.
The Parlor Pizzeria
An Arcadia wood-fired spot with a strong neighborhood following — pizza plus burrata salad and meatballs in a relaxed room. Walk-in.
Cibo
A charming Roosevelt Row room in a historic house doing Neapolitan pizza and crepes — a date-night patio more than a slice shop. Book on OpenTable.
Myke's Pizza
A Coronado favorite for New York-style squares on a sourdough crust — the honey-and-pepperoni is the order, with rotating specials. Walk-in.
Pizzeria Virtù
An Old Town Scottsdale Neapolitan spot doing margherita, diavola, and a wood-fired calzone — a solid casual option in the heart of Scottsdale. Walk-in.
