Can think of a bunch of places in Buenos Aires with better service and simply good food at a better price. Service was just not good. Servers act like they hate their job (they probably do). Their main item pizza is good but overpriced. In summary, I get the "must visit" thing but we could've done without it. read more

Our guide recommended both El Cuartito and Guerrin, and we definitely preferred El Cuartito. The dough comes out piping hot and perfectly crispy the way we love it. I also appreciated that you can order individual slices of specific flavors and sit down to enjoy them. We had a slice of Margherita and another with sweet red peppers and green olives. Both were gooey with cheese and absolutely delicious. We also shared a beef empanada, which was fantastic. Most of the customers seemed to be locals, but we even saw a group come in with carry-on suitcases, so clearly this place is a must-visit! The staff was friendly and patient, even with our limited Spanish. Just a note: Argentine cheese tends to be softer and fresher than what we're used to, so even if you are not lactose, there's a small chance you maybe here in Argentina. read more

Pretty solid Argentinian pizza spot. The fugazzeta That's the move gooey, cheesy, loaded with sweet onions, and unapologetically indulgent just like it should be. What I liked most was the crowd lots of locals filling the tables, which is always a good sign. Word of advice: when they say chica (small), don't be fooled. It's not personal size--it's more like a medium. Come hungry or be ready to take some home. read more

I absolutely love this place! Every time I'm in Buenos Aires, I have to come to El Cuartito. The pizzas are absolutely amazing and definitely one of my favorite things about the place. The only thing I would say they need to improve is the service. We had to wait quite a while for the server, and overall the service could definitely be better. But honestly, the pizza makes up for it! Definitely a must-visit if you're in Buenos Aires read more

Fantastic handmade pies... who would have thought two layers of onions smothered in cheese would be so delicious but you have got to try it! Great local ambience, it can be loud but in a good, happy way. Service is great just remember "handmade" takes time so don't be in a hurry and just order another cerveza! read more

This is a great place to try out Argentine style pizza. It's always busy, but the line processes fairly quickly. The pizza is thick, covered in cheese, and has its own distinct style and taste. We split 2 pizzas with 4 people and that was plenty. The atmosphere is great and this would be a really fun place to watch a local game. read more

Terrible service and total disorganization. No one greeted our party of four, and we were only given one menu. Waiters actively ignored us when we tried to get their attention. When the food arrived, they only brought three of our four pizzas. They put my order in front of my spouse, and by the time they brought out a completely incorrect fourth pizza ten minutes later, my original food was half-eaten and lukewarm. The staff had no idea who ordered what. A completely frustrating experience from start to finish. read more

Pizzzzzaaaa!!! We were hungry after visiting Teatro Colon and wanted pizza for lunch. Being from California and user of Yelp, I decided to see the closest and easiest to walk. My goodness! We found El Cuartito Service was ok. Our waiter took our order and left his shift- the only weird thing: he and another waiter counted their tips in the back tables on top of the table settings which made us wonder about hygiene. Food: deliciously made- ingredients fresh- cheese galore- pizza dough extremely savory. Ambiance was great in having all soccer pictures and memorabilia on the walls. The place accommodates large amount of customers and was busy and take out was available. The place was established in 1934. The place is open until 2:00 am that tells us it is good!!! Great food!! read more

The food was amazing I've had pizza in 3 continents and this is one of my top 3 pies. Truly a unique experience and such a different culture. From the way people eat with a fork and knife to the amount of locals and families. Service is great for the amount of people that there was in the restaurant. The restaurant was filled with nostalgia, from all of the memorabilia from The NBA, Boxing, Racing, Pop Culture, and most importantly Futbol. As soon as you walk through the door you feel the love for sports and culture, as well as you see the people that are standing while eating, show casing a point of view from a local, that this is just a part of their routine. So that's why I give my first stop on this trip a 5 star review, very well deserved. read more

There is simply no better or truer representation of Argentine style pizza than El Cuartito. The later you get there, the better. I would advice you do not do take out, as it is always an option but you take a seat and absorb the atmosphere. From the football jerseys (some signed), to the locals, to the waiters and the cooks. It is a ballet. The waiters, every single one in my experience are all so nice and chatty you will want to spend the night there talking with them about the match or the government or your girlfriend. It is that type of place. Let them order for you, I never regretted it and I don't believe aside from Fugazzeta, I have eaten the same slices twice. read more

When we asked locals where the best pizza in Buenos Aires is, the overwhelming answer was El Cuartito. We got here on a Tuesday night and the line was a block long, but it was worth the wait. Crisp and chewy crust covered with melted cheese that just drips off every slice. Fun atmosphere, packed with people who just want a good time with friends over great pizza. Don't miss this place when traveling through Buenos Aires! read more

Pretty busy pizza place.. The line went around the building. Argentine pizza is amazing. I was 14 in Dallas when I had my first one. But I didn't appreciate it like the real deal. However, in Buenos Aires the ingredients and elements like the water, meat, fresh cheeses and elevation, made me understand why it's it own thing. In Buenos Aires, they have two kinds of pizza. The best one and thick is the Argentinian and Naples thin. The Argentinian is different, the dough is very dense and yet fluffy, and crisp edges. The traditional way has a small chunk of blue cheese in the center where it melts and webs out into the sauce and mozzarella cheese. But this place doesn't use blue cheese unless ordered. We had pepperoni, which is chunks of meat. A lot gooey cheese and about 2 lbs of 13" pizza. I had leftovers in the fridge and a few hours later decided to try cold pizza, which is the real test. The crust edges were crunchy and so good. Just go for it.. Take out available as well to avoid the long line. But like empanadas eat it hot and soon. read more

El Cuartito is a fun pizza/parillo spot. The atmosphere was built for futbol games and it shows. It has a very cafeteria like vibe. The lighting is bright, and the patrons are loud and happy. The pizza overall is good, very Argentinian style, although a bit heavily salted for my liking. Personally, I prefer the New York slice. The service is slower than what I am used to which is fine, because as long as you have good company, it doesn't feel slow. They did mess up our order two times but they made up for it but bringing us extra. The staff could have been a little bit more :-) but now I am just nitpicking. Also, you need to at least know some elementary Spanish. English really isn't a thing here. It's a very popular spot, and we had to wait about an hour to get seated. I don't really mind waiting as long as the food was mind blowing but it's only "OK". With the combination of the slow service, the long wait, and food quality, is the reason why I took off two stars read more

La pizza de jamón y morron es que pedimos el domingo fue un desastre. Al jamón no lo encontramos por ninguna parte, el queso plástico, el morron escaso y pocas aceitunas. Además pedimos una pizza grande y enviaron una chica. Que desilusión para una pizzería que se jacta de tener las mejores pizzas. read more

Pizza day! First time trying Argentinian style pizza. It definitely delivered. It's like a Sicilian style pizza on steroids! Loaded with mozzarella, pepperoni and onions, yes onions. This spot has been around since 1934 and is a local favorite, the server says the lines are usually 2 hours to get in, with the locals and visitors waiting without a problem. If you ever get a chance to visit Buenos Aires be sure to stop and eat here. read more

We came to El Cuartito as part of tour! We used LandingPadBA to get a tour to the River Plate game and it included light "snacks" here. Snacks is in air quotes because It was meal! We had several liters of Quilmes which was a great way to start the afternoon! As an appetizer, we had the empanadas and WOW!!! My mother is Argentine and I've her food and this was just as good. Unbelievable taste. Then we got to the best part... the pizza. Cheesy heaven!! My favorite was the olive pizza but the Neopolitana was also good with the fresh tomatoes!! El Cuartito did not disappoint as a classic part of the Buenos Aires experiences. Not to mention, they are open late!!! Perfect. Definitely a must come for anyone looking for authentic Argentine fare and experience. read more

I invited a cousin to eat "the best pizza in Buenos Aires" and it was the worst decision I made in my life. I ordered a small muzzarella pizza with morrones. It was 4 slices of bread with very little muzzarella and a small slice of morron on each piece. The cost was 26000 pesos (around $17 dollars). Nothing can justify their prices for a very poor quality product. Never again! read more

Came here on a weekend for lunch, got the large fuggazetta with cheese. Super cheesy and heavy, definitely can share with at least 3-4 people! We had leftovers. The bread is super chewy and tasty, there's also red pepper and basil flakes. Cheese was salty and good, balanced with the otherwise not-super-flavorful rest of the bread. Good amount of onions! Was around 15k ARS, good price for the amount of food! read more

Such a different type of pizza. Extremely thick slices covered with mozzarella cheese. Ham and mozzarella was tasty. Would pass on the fuggazi. Really cool environment. read more

We were recommended this pizza plate by a local (Uber driver) and we were quite surprised by the food! The pizza was excellent, as was the empanadas. The restaurant could use a bit of a facelift as it doesn't look much more updated than when they started in 1934, but I guess it lends a bit of charm to this establishment. The meal was extremely affordable (small pizza, an empanada and a bottle of house wine)... it actually cost less than the McDonalds meal we had the night before ... and it included a little of wine! With the multitude of pizza places in the city, this one is one to visit. read more

El Cuartito - The Atomic pizza... - Pizza Near Me - Buenos Aires, C

Very casual, very local place. For those of us from Chicago who like really thin crust pizza on occasion this is sort of like a Pizza Hut version of the dough. Quite a bit thicker on the edge and thinner in the center. The menu is very tourist friendly with two whole pages explaining each of the 20+ pizza combinations, the local porteños only get one page with the name of the pizza and no explanation of the ingredients! We ordered the number 17 fugazetta with ham - a blonde pizza (no tomato sauce) with mozzarella, super thinly sliced yellow onions, olive oil and thin slices of regular boiled ham. It was great with a little bit of red pepper flakes on it. Either they forgot the "cream cheese" on our pizza or it is a weird typo in the translation for the American version, but ours had lots of mozzarella which was creamy and melted, but there was not a hint of Kraft style "cream cheese" anywhere in the filling. Not that I was craving it, but people said it was a great pizza, and it was, even without the cream cheese. We also tried the draft cider which was delicious but not at all effervescent. Service was good but harried, as the place really filled up at 1:45 PM a few minutes after we had placed our order. It is a local place for sure with lots id Argentinian tourists and an occasional splash of American tourists that have heard about it through the grapevine. The lighting is bright and fluorescent. The walls are covered in posters of boxing fights, soccer team matches and racecar drivers. They only accept cash so be prepared. read more

We stopped by here because the reviews were good. When we arrived it was empty which was fine cuz we were hungry! We ordered 2 empanada carne picante. It's baked and not fried which was awesome: the meat flavor was DELISH!!! We loved it. We then ordered the jamon Fugazeta. And yeah it was so cheesy and lots of onion it was delish! I am very happy we came. I wish we had room to try other things on the menu but we didn't. By the time we left, it was jammed pack. Was difficult to get our waiter to get us our bill and to go box. But I guess that's a good thing when a place is crowded with the locals. read more

This pizzaria is about as Italian as they come. Very cheesy, very thick toppings. Once the place opens at 12:30, it is flooded with Porteños looking for their quick lunch. A lot of locals stand at counters to eat their lunch, though there is plenty of tables for relaxed dining. Bring your best Spanish as the waiters don't try conversing in English. Very great prices. Oh, and a chica size is plenty for two people. read more

One of the best pizzerias in Buenos Aires. I'm a Chicagoan and passionate about pizza and pizza in Argentina is certainly unlike pizza in America, or Italy, and opinions abound about how it compares. I've had plenty of subpar Argentinian pizza in my time in Argentina, but there are a couple of places that stand out. El Cuartito is a famous name for pizza in Buenos Aires and rightfully so. It is my #2 choice for pizza in Argentina and the #1 choice of many friends of mine. The cheese is fresh and delicious, the ingredients flavorful, the atmosphere is charming, I really love this place. Decorated with lots of Football sports memorabilia, its got a great feel to it. If you want to try some real Argentinian pizza, come here and give it a go. read more

I went to three of the most famous spots for pizza while in BsAs and found El Cuartito to be the best. As we did in the other spots, grabbed a muzzarella and fugazetta slice with some draft beers and stood with the locals at the counter. Absolutely love the the Argentinian pizza style and this was the best expression of it. Delicious! I am trying to figure out where I can track down this style in NYC. read more

We got half a fugazetta con jamón and half napolitano. Oh my gosh, everything was so freaking good! The pizza was huge and very filling so we had to take some to go. Also, know that the bottles of beer are huge. We ordered two bottles for two of us because we didn't realize the bottles were so big. We drank them anyway! The service was excellent and the food was even better. You should definitely eat here. read more

Closed on Mondays, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day. This is the best Argentinean pizzeria in all of Buenos Aires, hands down! Not only do they offer awesome prices, but their Fuggazetta pizza is out of this world! I've been all over the world, and I seriously think Argentinean pizza has everyone else beat. For between 18 and 22 pesos a slice ($1.40-$1.70 at an exchange rate of 13:1) for to go orders, you can get a bunch of cheesy mozzarella goodness with a variety of toppings of your liking. The Fuggazetta slice was 22 pesos. The crust is crunch and thick, the cheese is melted and all over the place, and the toppings are super fresh and baked to pure perfection. I came here about 3 times while I was in Buenos Aires, that's how good it was. Not only was the pizza good, but the service was top notch. The guys are really nice and helpful. If you get it to go, it's that price. However, for whatever reason eating in the restaurant cost about a few pesos more. Well worth it nonetheless. The empanadas are also really good, about 16 pesos each if you order to go.I love the jamon and queso the best. If you don't come here while you're in BA, you'll be sorry! read more

El Cuartito - Fuggazetta pizza and an empanada - Pizza Near Me - Buenos Aires, C

Solid pizza joint in BA. I came here because it was recommended by many travel guides as the best pizza in BA. When you walk in, it's an old-school vibe, sports-themed pizza/bar with sports memorabilia all over the walls and TVs playing futbol. I wasn't sure how to order - whether at the counter or to sit down. I sat down and a waiter came by to ask me what I was interested in. I got the local beer - Quilmes - and two slices of pizza - the signature cheese & onion and a cheese slice. There was a lot of cheese on both slices, and it's similar to a deep dish style pizza you'd get in the States. The dough was tasty and the cheese was good too - different than what I was used to. The onion slice had a lot of onions on it, but it wasn't too overpowering. It was pretty busy while I was there with people coming in to sit and hang to eat, while others were just grabbing slices, polishing them off at the standing counter, and leaving. read more

On a recommendation from a friend that said El Cuartito had the best pizza, we decided to check it out. Since everything in Buenos Aires happens late we decided to head over around 930pm via the subte - it was only a couple blocks walk from the tribunales stop. As you look down the street you can see the large sign for El Cuartito - as we approached we were amazed by the long line of people waiting to be seated.... We jumped on the line and waited in anticipation - this place must be good when you have that many Argentinians waiting!!!!! The line moves really quickly and also gives you time to think about what you want. When it became our turn we were quickly seated and given menus. There are so many options for pizza and 2 sizes of pizza - thinking a larger would be too big we asked for a small pizza. We saw a couple next to is eating the arugula and prosciutto pizza and it looked great so that's what we had. Our drinks came quickly - my lady had a glass of moscato and I just had a bottle of soda water. When the pizza came it looked soooo good - check out the foto. I love that the pizza is served with Spanish olives, it's not super greasy and it's not drowning in cheese, and best of all I felt sophisticated using a fork and knife. Anyway we polished off the pizza quickly and realized we should've ordered a large because it was sooo good. However rather than order another pizza we decided to go for dessert and got the flan. My recommendation - make sure you put this on your places to visit - and take it from me coz I know good food. read more
