Almost 40% of Argentines trace their ancestry to Italy, so Italian food is very important in the lives of the locals. There’s probably no bigger discussion then on who bakes the best pizza in town, so here’s our take on the tastiest and best pizzas to eat during your visit to Buenos Aires.
Kentucky
Named after the Kentucky Derby by the horse race loving owner and an ubiquitous choice in numerous outlets across town since 1942. Maybe not the best pizza in town, but still pretty good with giant tiled stone ovens and fresh ingredients. The low prices and almost round the clock opening hours, make this the place to satisfy your late night or early morning cravings.
(various locations across Buenos Aires)
El Cuartito
Founded in 1934 and chef and writer Anthony Bourdain’s favorite, this is the reliable choice in downtown. Today new generations still keep flocking to this small and cosy restaurant. They do a mean empanada as well. Best pizza winner in the Guia Oleo food guide. Located at only 2 blocks from the central Avenida 9 de Julio.
(Talcahuano 937)
La Mezzetta
A bit out of the way in Chacarita, a few blocks from the cemetery where tango singer Carlos Gardel is buried, this neighborhood favorite is rated 28 out of 30 by Guia Oleo. Their Muzzarella cheese and Fugazzeta (an Argentine invention with baked onions and cheese on a thick crust) are worth the detour.

Guerrín
Around the corner from the Argentine supreme court, so a popular place with lawyers, judges and cops as well as the public at large. Often full, but offers the option to eat standing at the bar at a discount as well if you’re in a hurry. A Buenos Aires institution.
(Corrientes 1368)
Siamo Nel Forno
A higher end take on pizza with more modern variations as fresh spinach and potato plus some great calzones as well. Known for their perfect and light pizza dough. A favorite of some of Argentina’s most renowned chefs.
