Celebrated pizza chef Chris Bianco’s budding Los Angeles expansion looks more complete with Pane Bianco, a standalone New York-style slice and sandwich spot, which opened on June 13 just steps away from his Pizzeria Bianco in Downtown’s Row.

Bianco’s first foray into LA back in 2017 was a little confusing, to say the least, with no official pizza situation and an Italian restaurant called Alameda Supper Club that was open for about a year. He made a triumphant return with Pizzeria Bianco in 2022, serving his famous wood-fired pizzas and a daytime New York-style slice menu that stood among the best in the city.
