"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
"Casa Bianca is a flat-out Eagle Rock classic. Maybe the secret to their success is their thin-crust Sicilian-style pizza, or the scores of adorable couples who have been going on dates here since the ’60s. Or maybe it’s the fact for just $8, you can bring your own bottle of pinot noir. You decide." - kat hong
"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
"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, sylvio martins
"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
