El Cuartito - Pizza Near Me - Buenos Aires, C

This place was very busy but it had great pizza. We tried the fuggazetta and the one with anchovies. The pizza is a mix between Chicago Deep Dish and New York Style pizza. The pizza was flavorful and delicious! read more

I first visited this place way back in 2005. I wasn't impressed. I know it's a porteño icon of the pizza world. I honestly couldn't understand why, I found the quality of the pizza to be lacking. I wasn't horrible, it just wasn't "all that", and the one true flaw was the quality of the mozzarella used atop the pies. Over time, I've come to appreciate the Argentine style of pizza far more than I did then, when I had a more fixed view based on pizza in Italy and New York, for the most part, with some influence from the styles of pizzas of the midwest, like Detroit and Chicago style, still among my favorites in many ways, though much of that is simple childhood nostalgia. Kind of the way locals feel about places like El Cuartito, no? I even went back a couple of times, and there's a followup review in the comment section of the same post from a year later, where, to be honest, I found it to actually be borderline inedible. I mentioned in that second review that even some of my local friends had begun to admit that the place had gone downhill. So there I was, a week or so ago (and a decade later), out with a new friend who wanted to try a local, really classic style pizza. The biggest change, the cheese is actually rather good quality now, there were no oil slicks, there was no dripping grease, and the flavor was decent. Likewise, the crust had some flavor, and the faina was served piping hot and while not the best I've had of this staple, it was good. So, over time, for me, this place went from an "okay" to a "not recommended". At the very least I think it deserves being returned to "okay", and maybe even edging into "good". At least, I'm not going to avoid it like the plague anymore or tell people they shouldn't bother. Sometimes when people tell me I'm wrong, they're right, at least in the long run. read more

Mr. Zebra Pants here to bring you a review from the South Americas. And if your in the Buenos Aires Argentina area than you already know about this place. But for a traveler passing through...you got to stop by this place at least once. My girlfriend (now wife) and I went to Argentina with her college for Spanish and Religion college credits. We visited this place for lunch one day with a few of the other students and we bought enough food to share like buffet. The pizza is different than in the US so if you compare them this is different for sure. Pizzas were not a big hit with our group. But other dishes were satisfying. Summery: When you find yourself in Buenos Aires Argentina with the munchies, grab a bite to eat in one of the oldest pizza restaurants in the city who's slogan "The Good Pizza" is a spot on description. read more

El Cuartito - El Cuartito on Jan. 2007 - Pizza Near Me - Buenos Aires, C

When one hits that "certain age that men just want to deny", it's time to begin calorie counting. Pizza? Does that count? I'll count the number of slices of pie I'm downing and worry about my love handles later. Great pizza? no. Good pizza? sure. But above anything else, this place is an institution. read more

Definitely worth a trip to this place if you're in Buenos Aires. Garishly appointed, overpowering fluorescent lighting, waiters who came with the place, ard rickety wooden chairs, all the frills. The walls tell a story. But the pizza is out of this world. Try the fugazzeta, with or without ham, especially if you like onions. It's loaded with cheese. You won't forget this place. Bring cash, as they do not accept credit cards. Also, they are not open on Mondays. read more

Great pizza, busy busy. Efficient staff. If you like lovely fresh pizza, this place is for you, can also buy single slices for a quick and affordable take out. Nom nom read more

The Napolitana pizza was very good and the empanadas were stellar. We had the empanadas de carne picante and they were cooked to perfection and had absolutely divine flavor. The pizza was very good but I think the crust could be better. I'm personally a fan of crust that is crispy and more dry than is made here. The staff was friendly and the ambiance is very casual and old country like. They only take debit cards and no credit cards so bring the cash. read more

Amazing! My friend and I waited about 15 minutes in a very crowded line, but it was worth it. The pizza was amazing, and I normally don't like pizza. We shared a mozzarella pizza with some beer and then ordered the flan with dulce de leche. Even though it was crowded, we didn't feel rushed or uncomfortable. The prices were adequate and the service was to be expected of such a packed, busy place. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Buenos Aires. You might have to stand in a line around the corner, but it's worth every minute. read more

Really good QUALITY pizza.. Not like an Italian one but super ingredients... Compare to the rest in BA I personally think number 1... Good service too and good clean environment... Enjoy.. read more

My favorite pizza place in Argentina. They serve a Genevose style pizza, which is thick. You must try their fugazzeta with a "chop" (draft beer/pilsen type). One small ("chica") pizza is enough for two people. Service is very friendly and efficient - I love that in Agentina, waiters do not helicopter over you all the time interrupting your meal to ask if everything is Ok. read more

Unfortunately, my limited time in B.A. did not allow me to sample tons of pizza, however, El Cuartito lived up to its reputation as one of the best pizza spots in a town shockingly known for good pizza. The fuggazetta is a must-try, even if it's for only a slice. The gooiness of the cheese with the combination fo carmelized and raw onions is oh so good. They have a large selection of various pizzas and prices are reasonable (although somewhat high for B.A. standards). If you go, plan on there being a line, even if it's 10 PM on a Tuesday! read more

Very casual pizza parlor. The staff is very cool. This place gets extremely crowded, and you have to wait anywhere from 20-40 minutes for a table. This is one of the few places which serves stout beer, so that made me very happy. Their pizza was very good. The prices on the menu are very fair, and I had an awesome experience here. Also, try their empanadas....so good! read more

Incredibly decadent. One slice has enough cheese to satisfy a small family. Really enjoyed the experience, though, and would recommend you give it a try! read more

Must go!!! It's one of those places hat actually does live up to the hype. If I had more days in Argentina would definitely return..

Since I'm Italian, I didn't really appreciate the pizzas. Too big and with too much stuff on it. The empanadas were good. I advice you to order the smallest one because you'll never finish it.. Really huge portion! read more

If you want an opinion from a pizza connoisseur residing in the states, don't waste your time. Absolutely underwhelming blah. Piles of cheese on a soggy piece of bread. Thank goodness we only went into try a slice and didn't order whole pizzas. Sorry, but as good as Argentinians are at making amazing beef, they are at the polar opposite spectrum of pizza making. read more

Really good Argentinean style pizza but not as good as El Guerrin. The value is really good as I only paid 400 pesos for 3 empanadas, four slices, one bottle of wine and a bottled water. The only thing was that the sliced fugazzetta does not include ham, you would have to get the whole pizza to have it. read more

El Cuartito - Fugazzetta, especial, anchoas, faina, empanadas pollo, Jamon roquefort and humita. - Pizza Near Me - Buenos Aires, C

I really wish I didn't like this place so much! Got the pizza with cream cheese and onions, can't remember the name, but I get it every time and it always impresses. The decor is like a 1950 sports bar, which is great, and the service is friendly and price is always right. Easily one of my top 5 pizza places in the world. read more

Cash only, casual pizza joint. We went to El Cuartito on a recommendation. There was a line for pick-up but not to sit and eat. Service was friendly and relatively fast. It may be that I just don't love the style of pizza in Buenos Aires. Definitely different from back home in the states. Worth trying if you're visiting. The pizza was a lot better than the desert, so if you want something sweet, might be worth going somewhere else. read more

Best pizzeria in BA. The place is authentic and full of locals who go for a beer and share pizzas.

Get a chop of beer and the fuggazetta ( a mountain of onions on top of a heavy crust). Everything else is frivolous and inconsequential. You can try the mozzarella and, trust me, you'll enjoy it. You can try the flan and find it perfect... But, it's the onion masterpiece they serve that really takes the cake. read more

This is probably as good as it gets when it comes to Argentinian pizza. The problem is just that, I know they are very proud of their pizza here but Argentinian pizza is just not very good. A traditional pizza is based on two things, a perfect dough and a perfect tomato sauce. Then you add some toppings, for example mozzarella or ham but never so much it takes away from the pizza. In Argentina they use a thick dough and very little, if any, tomato sauce. Instead they just focus on the cheese. A lot of cheese. Layers of melted mozzarella and bread is what you get. The experience alone is worth it though, the single server is so fast it's amazing and the pizza is on the table a couple of minutes after ordering. With a nice cold beer and some friends this place is pretty good but be prepared to end the night after visiting due to cheese overload. read more

If you are used to American style pizza that is more saucy, you will be disappointed with El Cuartito. We went on a Sunday afternoon, and the restaurant was totally empty. The pizza is more similar to a loaded flatbread than to pizza in Italy or America - the crust is very thick yet crispy, with very little sauce, and the meat is layered on the pizza before the cheese is. We had the calabresa, which I thought was a nicely cooked flatbread but not a nicely flavored pizza - there was far too much bread. There was lots of cheese on the pizza as well, but it was very greasy and clearly was not fresh mozzarella. The waiter told us that the "chica" would serve 3-4 people, and that the "grande" serves 8, but the chica is the size of a normal table plate and be warned that it barely serves 2-3 (there are 6 small slices). I was very much hoping to like the pizza here as I have not had any great pizza in South America during the last several months, but I was a bit disappointed here. The people who work here are very nice and the ambiance is old-school Italian. The place accepts Visa cards, too. read more

This is hands down the best pizza in the world , I went here 3 times during a 1 week visit to buenos ( after 16 years that I have been away) it just is the best , best dough not too thick or thin, large amounts of excellent melting mozzarella Andy favourite type is the Napolitana ( with cut tomatoes, parsley and garlic) no one else In buenos does the same one , Guerrin is an ok place but wasn't consistant as cuartito. read more

Very good local Argentina-style pizza. You can either sit at a table and someone will serve you from the menu, or order at the walk up counter and get pizza to go or stand at the nearby counter. They generally do not speak good English so be sure you know what to say to order in Spanish. Even so it is a bit gruff, but this is not a big deal. The pizza is affordable and tasty and 2 slices is probably sufficient for lunch, though I could have eaten more. One worth trying that you really cannot find in other countries is the fugazza, which is with cheese and onions (no tomato sauce). This place is a fixture and worth seeing & experiencing. I ate there twice this trip and once on a prior trip to BA. read more

Suggestion given to us by a friend who lived here. The vibe was fun, similar to Katz's in NYC. For 11 of us we ordered 3 pizzas and it was plenty, skip the empanadas and go for the pizza. For 11 including tip and tax was under $100. They excepted US cash. read more

I'm a huge pizza lover and I would not call this pizza, it's just globs of cheese on bread, and the bread don't taste that great either. I usually don't throw food out, but I'm tossing this in the trash the smell is making me sick, not worth the hype, it's probably great hang over food. read more

This place has character for days and is obviously a local favorite. We arrived around 8:30 pm on a Tuesday night after Christmas. Packed but we were seated after a few minutes. Really enjoyed the Argentinian style of pizza paired with a cold beer. Menu included English for us visitors. I also saw empanadas but this place is mainly for the pizza. Service was efficient but waiter was very busy. Line was out the door and down the block before we left. Not expensive. Not for those looking for fine dining or steak. I would recommend visiting between 2-8 as this place seemed very popular. Would bring cash as not sure if they take credit. Overall excellent casual dining experience. read more

Best pizza in Buenos Aires, specially the fugazzeta rellena. According to Yelp, it does not open on Sundays, that's not correct, they open from 12:30 pm to 12:30 am read more

Amazing - get the fugazetta. Crowded cool place. Very casual with a massive line. Only takes cash. Not traditional New York style pizza - very thick with lots of unique toppings. Highly recommend. read more

We've eaten here a number of times in our sojourns to Buenos Aires. When you enter, especially a lunch, it can be a bit confusing, as there's one line of people (usually workers) getting carry out ( I think it was on the left). The line on the right is to be seated, where a waiter takes your order. I think they take debit cards and cash only. The locals (true for most of South America, I think) don't use much, if any, marinara sauce, so forget that and pepperoni, etc. The pizza we love is either the fugazza or the fugazetta. (I still can't tell which is which). Lots and lots onions and cheese. Excellent beer on tap (OK, I'm no beer expert, but sure tasted great!). They're closed on Mondays, I think and close often for other holidays, so I'd check to be sure that they're open before grabbing a taxi or a long walk to get there. Def'n worth it however. s read more

The restaurant is extremely busy. Expect to wait 30 - 60 minutes even at 9:00 am on a Tuesday night. That should tell you how good the pizza is. I had the cheese pizza, fugazzetta and the spinach pizza. I finished with the flan. I wish that this type of pizza could be found in the US. read more

Our friends in Buenos Aires took us here for the best pizza in town. It did not disappoint. We arrived and there was already a line up out the door but it moved quickly and we were in in no time. The walls here are adorned with all the Argentinian sporting greats and provides a fun atmosphere. The pizza was simple but packed great flavor with tonnes of cheesy goodness. read more
