    Hi,

    While he may not personally make your pie, it is not quite retirement.

    But for the past month, illness has kept Bianco, 47, away from the oven and often entirely out of the restaurant.

    On Wednesday, Bianco got the food world buzzing after he told the The Republic that he is, for the moment, stepping away from his pizza post on doctor's orders.

    The smoke from the fire and exposure to wheat in the dough aggravate his asthma, Bianco said.

    ...

    Despite the health challenges, Bianco said, "this is not a swan song."

    He'll continue to oversee operations during the afternoons, before opening time, and make appearances greeting customers, as his health permits.

    Regards,
    Cathy2

    There was much speculation over the last month as to why he was no longer at the restaurant.

    Visiting Pizzeria Bianco holds it's own as one of my most memorable meals ever. Very sad news!

    Get well soon Chris!
