    So many places have a defined pizza culture. BA is a great example.

    I’m not convinced from these photos that this pizza would be good

    That crust looks really dense. Was it? Or was it airy and fluffy?

    The only complaint I can find is that it should’ve remained in the oven for a bit

    You may need to drop a few more deets. To the untrained eye, that looks like an omelette.

    In Argentina the pizza has more cheese than in the United States, that is saying a lot, the good thing is that the flavor is exquisite, not like the cardboard flavor of the United States

    I’m not surprised. BA was the most Italian place I’ve ever been outside of Italy.

  12. DexterLakeClub

    I don’t see any evidence to support that claim.

    They do according to them. I’ve been to Buenos Aires more than 10 times and cannot for the life of me get the pizza culture there. It’s not anything that really excels in any style other than bad neighborhood slice joint. Go to Argentina for the beef, provoleta, wine and alfajores. Not the pizza.

    Argentina: a nation of Germans who speak Spanish and think they’re Italian.

    I’ve had Argentine pizza. These pics are accurate. Fluffy super bready crust…It’s definitely not to my taste.

    These pictures do not show an outstanding pizza. Undercooked, bready, overdone on the cheese

    Some Kentucky pizza after a night out always hit. Not the greatest in the city but sure beats most of the late night options in the States.

    Of course they do. There’s a lot of Italian influence in the culture of Argentina due to a wave of Italian immigration that started in the early 1900’s. The Spanish of Argentina is heavy influenced by Italian as well. Argentina also has great coffee due to the same influence.

    Outstanding pizza culture, yes. But most of the pizza is usually awful though. Guerrin is OK. Cuartito is better, then Cuartetas is the best.

    I think Argentina should just stick to their steaks which are top notch. This looks like a frozen pizza in a pan, hard pass

    Argentinian food reminds me of Italian American food. It has the same origin in Italian immigrants experiencing having plenty of food for the first time and just shoving as much cheese and meat as possible into every dish

    I’m going in 15 days from now. can you recommend name of the place and how much it costs, roughly? trying to figure out the best places to eat in 7 days of stay

    When you find this outstanding pizza you speak of, please take a photo of it.

    I’d try that. I like a thinner crust though. Cheese and pepperoni game is on point too

    There’s a street in Mendoza that has a bunch of pizzerias. The pizza is more of a batter and baked on coals. They also add unpitted green olives, which makes it interesting if you don’t know and just bite into it.

    Argentinian love pizza but there is a limit on the amount of cheese you can actually put on top of a pizza. They went way over that limit

  34. ScorpionMillion

    The woman that you can barely see in the 2nd pic looks happy.

  37. ConfidentAir757

    I‘d try it. Looks like a pan pizza. (Like from pizza hut or some kind)
