Since Pizzaria Bianco had a 2+ hour wait for 2 people, the valet suggested Pane Bianco Central, which had no waiting, plentiful parking, and the limited seating was nearly empty. ? The food was good, but unremarkable. The wait staff was super friendly and even gave me a free soup of the day because they accidentally prepared an extra.

Wow! Pane Bianco is the cut spot for lunch. ? ? ? ?Amazing pizza and awesome sandwiches.Simple recipes made from high quality ingredients make for fantastic food. I eat at Pane Bianco about once a week and everything is amazing.The pizza is fantastic. ?Simple slices make for the perfect lunch.Any of the salads are great. The green salad is the perfect accompaniment to any of the pizzas. The market salad is great to share or can be a lunch for one person on its own.Today I had the market sandwich which was arugula, ricotta and roasted tomato with balsamic vinaigrette. ? I thought I was going to be missing the protein but the sandwich was perfect ?Highly recommend for lunch.Protip: the veggie soup is underrated and served with a slice of their bread. Try it, you’ll love it. ?Parking: Plenty of parking in the back

I had my favorite, the simple mozzarella sandwich. My understanding is that Pane Bianco grows their own tomatoes and basil, bakes their own bread and makes their own mozzarella which is the entirety of ingredients. Just a sublime sandwich. My wife had the Italian (pictured),which was new to us, but every individual ingredient stood out in the greatest way. This place is definitely on our will return list.

My sandwich was missing one of the main ingredients and when I brought it back in the staff was rude and unhelpful and said they were out and that was that. Didn't try to fix the issue and acted annoyed by the situation. Ended up with a dry sandwich that wasn't nearly as good as my past experiences here.

Mozz and prosciutto sandwich was excellent. Pizza slices (red and focaccia) very good but not quite the same as the Pizzeria Bianco. Reasonably quick and good service.

My friend took me here recently. I had the vegetable soup and he had the calzone. Both were great! Bread with the soup was wonderful. What made the whole experience was the Bianco brothers. Really felt like going to get a home cooked meal from your Italian family. ?

Decent experience and good pizza but not the best I’ve ever had - which I’ve heard it would be. Take away all the hype and it’s like an 8.5/10 as far as pizza goes.

I came here with a friend awhile back. She was visiting in town and I mentioned this place because it had been on my list for a long time. Great spot to have a good bite and quick catch up. We waited about 10mins for a table - pretty crowded at lunch time, but we got seated up at the bar area. She ordered the pizza al taglio and I had the Italian combo. Food came out pretty fast, good lunch size portions, and very tasty. Maybe a little expensive for lunch, but worth the splurge every now and then. It's a really cute small spot, but there is parking out back- it's right next to Luxe coffee, Would recommend checking this spot out if you are in town.

Always excellent, although they need to move to tableside ordering and payment so there's no tipping, and this way they can turn tables faster and pay the remainder staff a bit more. We ordered rice pudding and it wasn't in the bag, but oh well, it was the first mistake in many years of going to Pane Bianco... I'm sure they'll make it up on the next visit. Love the quality of food here!Parking: Sometimes you have to hunt for parking, but it's walking distance to a metro station and if you have the Waymo Unlimited $199/mo subscription then just take Waymo there.

We tried the pizza, both the thin crust New York style and thicker Scicilian crust. Both were good, but I prefer the Scicilian. Gigi preferred the thin New York style. Something for every taste.

This is a space for the privileged, unfortunately. Service is mediocre and not accomodating to patrons with physical disabilities. Accessibility to the location is challenging, if not impossible, for ADA physical needs arriving from the side street and not Central. They are also not bike friendly and we witnessed a woman harrassed on Friday at 230p for not using the non-existent bike parking because she locked her bike in a non-obstructing fashion to their outdoor seating structure. It was bizarre and frustrating how Pane Bianco reacted.Wheelchair accessibility: Accessibility to the location is challenging, if not impossible, for ADA physical needs arriving from the side street and not Central.
