"Everyone who comes to Pizzeria Bianco at the Row DTLA for dinner wants a piece of Chris Bianco, whether it’s a couple congratulating him on his recent inclusion in the new Chefs Table: Pizza series on Netflix or a young woman who admits to the Phoenix-based pizzaiolo that she drove up from San Diego just to try the restaurant. With his shock of wild gray hair, raspy Bronx-inflected voice, and calming presence, Bianco took it all in stride on a recent Thursday night, giving out hugs, signing cookbooks, and posing for pictures — even pausing to take a photo with three Instagrammable shiba inus who sat perched in the restaurant’s open front windows."
