'Casa Bianca has been at the present location for five years' (July 2003), a family business with Nafi Elmazi's brother and cousins; 16 slices from $2 (cheese) to $3.95 (stuffed pepperoni), stromboli, 20-some pastas, a full bar; dining room with a flat screen; Ald. Mike Verveer a regular. A Jan. 2001 tower proposal by Erik Minton would have razed it. Efraim Elmazi took the licence in 2004.

Three stars from the State Journal (July 2003: 'Casa Bianca's pizza, stromboli outstanding'); the Daily Cardinal (Nov. 2003): 'slices as big as a city block', East Coast-style, and the owner's father Sal greeting customers.
In June 1999 readers' favourite for New York-style slices; the Elmazi brothers used mozzarella from Lisanti Foods of Totowa, N.J., and were negotiating for a west side location to open by 2000; the building at Bassett and Johnson had been an Edwardo's.
