Casa Bianca Pizza Pie: Classic family-run Eagle Rock spot serving mighty thin-crust pizzas, hearty Italian staples, and timeless old-school vibes.
"Despite its age (or perhaps because of it), this family-run Eagle Rock spot is still one of the tougher weekend tables to book in the neighborhood. Stepping into the dining room is a true time warp: checkered tablecloths, Tiffany ceiling lamps, and couples who have been going on dates here since Jimmy Carter was president. Everyone is eating thin-crust Sicilian-style pizza (get the Deluxe with mushroom, green pepper, and big chunks of sausage), but the entrees are solid as well. The pasta al forno, best described as a pie-sized portion of baked penne baked in meat sauce and a pound of melted cheese, could feed most high school football teams." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder

"If any one place puts Eagle Rock on the map, it’s the mom and pop pizza pie legend Casa Bianca. Family owned since 1955, it’s quintessentially comfort Italian with red-checkered tablecloths, wafts of roasted garlic and a warm glow from the multi-colored twinkle lights. It wouldn’t be a stretch to recreate that classic The Lady and the Tramp spaghetti scene here, but start with antipasto and absolutely order a pizza. The portions are huge, the crust is thin, it’s closed on Sunday (and Monday!) and there’s typically a line out the door and that’s probably just the way mama wants it. Make a reservation and come hungry." - Hype Type Studio & Steph Ashmore
"Stepping into this family-run pizza parlor is a time warp: checkered tablecloths, Italian streetscapes on the wall, and couples who have been going on dates there since the ’60s. The thin-crust Sicilian-style pizza is consistently good, especially if you get sweet, peppery homemade sausage on top. " - brant cox, nikko duren
"A classic Eagle Rock spot (and we mean classic, since it opened in 1955), Casa Bianca serves thin-crust, Sicilian-style pies, and while they might not be as adventurous as other places on this list, we don’t need every pizza to involve a thoughtful take on pork belly confit. Which is to say, we’ll never say no to a greasy pie, especially if it’s got Casa Bianca’s incredible house-made sausage on top. Order for pick-up online." - brett keating
