“ The best pizza in the Lasalle county area. The restaurant could use some updating, but the pizza is great ”
“ Great Pizza and Customer Service. We are a very happy returning customer. We drive an hour to get this pizza. ”
“ We decided to try Bianchi's Pizza after learning that our favourite restaurant was closed on Mondays. What a happy discovery, their pizza is amazing. My husband and I ordered a large and we ate the whole thing, no doggy bag for us! Wait staff was super nice, and I loved the ambiance of the beautiful old building. Now we have two favourite restaurants to choose from when we pass through. ”
“ Delicious pizza and good service. We ordered ours with extra sauce and well done cooked, they did it just right. They only take cash though so be ready. ”
“ Ordered a large sausage pizza for take out, was ready to go when I got there , the ey we're pretty busy but it is a Saturday night. The pizza was very good will definitely be back again ”
“ I grew up in Ottawa. So now whenever I go back home for a visitor. Bianchi's is a must. Three locations. Two are pickup/delivery only. Downtown location has sit down. ”
“ We love this place. Get the hot sauce to spread on! Dine in downtown is the best. Carry out on north side. They only take cash and we called the owner mean Al because he was a real asshole. But he has his moments and to me the pizza is worth it. ”
“ Pretty good pizza! Ordered 16 inch pepperoni and mushroom cost about $19. The only thing I didn't care for is I found a lot of those tomato skins rolled up they get caught in your teeth in the sauce other than that it was pretty great. Plenty of cheese and LOVE that crust. Will order again. New to town so trying them all out. Cash only no debit cards allowed so be prepared for that. ”
“ My husband used to come here all the time and couldn't stop talking about it so when we were in the area, we had to stop by. He described this pizza place as "the best pizza... period." There are multiple locations! One is a dine-in restaurant and the other two are just for to-go orders/delivery. We were getting the pizza to go so we went to a to-go order location and the entire process was simple and smooth. The representatives were kind and seemed like they had their process down because they were cranking out so many orders so fast. I was surprised with how much space was at the to-go order location! We got an XL cheese, sausage, and pepperoni and a BUNCH of hot red marinara sauces. We literally got 10 extra sauces because he couldn't get enough. They were only 50c each and once I tasted them, I understood. The sauce has such a nice kick, bold, but isn't over the top spicy. One thing that really sticks out to me when trying different pizzas is the sauce. I LOVE Bianchi's pizza sauce because it tases fully homemade and has so much flavor. I could probably just eat the sauce with a spoon and be perfectly content. The crust was crispy and thin, but not too thin. The sausage was seasoned well and the pepperoni has the slightest crisp on the edges-perfectly cooked. We're bummed this place is a long drive for us otherwise we'd be here all the time. I now agree that this is one of the best places to get pizza, ever! ”
