I was browing on Chowhound yesterday and came across a post on Pizza Bianca (no link provided, Chowhound would break the link within a month). I've never had such a thing, but according to the thread, the place to go is Sullivan Street Bakery. So I went down there, and tried some of their pizzas. Cold pizzas, and pizzas without any cheese, and mostly without tomato sauce. But they were all really good. The slice of Pizza Bianca was huge, but quite light. It had a taste of olive oil, with some rosemary and olives too, and had a pleasant bit of natural sweetness. I also had a slice of pomodoro pizza (great tomato flavor, nice crust), and funghi slice. The latter was unusual for the densely packed mushrooms, creating a wonderfully woodsy taste. For those three slices, I spent $5.75. I wanted a bit more to eat, and got a lemon and cornmeal tart, which was dense, but not uncomfortably so, and fresh tasting.
