Anello, the tiny restaurant that's raising the bar for Tucson pizza

This is one of those places that inspires me.
It's easy to miss Anello. There's no sign on the brick building — formerly a gallery space — in this once-sleepy neighborhood near downtown. But peek through those geometric windows and you'll be struck by a bulbous gray oven and the man standing beside it wearing a Pizzeria Bianco shirt.
When I was a teenager, I worked at two different pizza places where we made the dough and sauce from scratch. Now, we didn't have wood-fired ovens, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I see one in our future 🪵🔥
Of course, I did work at a pizza place that did have a wood-fired oven...for about two weeks...and couldn't hack it.
It wasn't the heat.
It was the fact that at then end of every shift, I had to haul the next day's wood from the basement in trash barrel. It took 4 or 5 trips up and down a 40-step flight of stairs 😓 After being drained from making the pizza during rush hour, I decided they weren't paying me enough. I got a job as a life guard that summer.
