Why do you need and explanation about pizza or pizzerias in Buenos Aires?
Because the italian food that italian inmigration brought between 1880 and 1930 is really huge and some of their foods with some local influence is still today regular food for us!!!!!
The typical topping that we order is Muzzarella pizza (chease pizza) with Faina (a bean dough) that you put on the top of the muzzarella pizza and eat both together. Number two in our ranking is Fugazzeta pizza, that is onion and muzarella, really good aswell.
Sunday nights if you pay attention you are going to see lots of delivery boys, for sure they are taking pizza or empanadas, traditional sundays family dinner!
We have THREE DIFFERENTS TYPE OF PIZZA:
"De molde" this is what we really consider the local pizza, the one your are going to eat in the traditional places. Is the thicker one.
"A la piedra" this is thin, and the cool popular one
"Italian" only a few places have this that is the thiner one, italian way!
Where to go?
To have Pizza "De molde" most of the places are in Av Corrientes or arround since is where this culture started, people use to go to the theatre and then have dinner on that area, in the order I give you is what I prefer:
1.- Güerrin : For me, the best muzzarella pizza in town! Av Corrientes 1368 - Downtown - here if you eat standing at the bar on the entrance the price is 30/40% less than if you choose a table! You should check the fried empanadas too!!!
2.-El Cuartito: Here we go with the best Fugazzeta pizza in town!!!! Talcahuano 937 - Downtown -Delivery 4816-1758
3.-Punto y Banca: a corner where people from the area and workers get together. I prefer the fugazzeta one here. Honduras 4002 - Palermo - Delivery 4864-4268
