“While a pizza temple, their fried meat empanadas at the counter are some of the best in the city.”
Best Pizza Porteña
in Buenos Aires
Pizza Porteña is Buenos Aires' unique take on the Italian classic, characterized by a thick, spongy crust and an absurd amount of cheese. The most iconic style is the **Fugazzeta**, a double-crust pizza stuffed with mozzarella and topped with sweet, caramelized onions. It is traditionally eaten standing up at the counter with a glass of moscato wine. This style reflects the city's massive Italian immigrant heritage and is a staple of late-night dining. Sampling a slice of Fugazzeta is a requirement for understanding the local comfort food culture.
