This was my first pizza experience in Buenos Aires and it was definitely a memorable one…read more Unfortunately I don't speak Spanish, but there was one employee there who had a decent grasp on the English language and I was able to order take-out without any hitches (aside from momentary confusion as I was leaving and was asked if I would like a "ticket," which I realize now was him asking me I wanted a receipt). The pizza itself was exactly as Argentinian pizza had been described to me - doughy and thick on the cheese, which I found delicious. I ordered a pie with ham and red pepper on top, and I learned that they take toppings on their pizza very seriously here. There was a thick layer of ham covering each slice, which under normal circumstances I wouldn't have found appealing but it had a surprisingly understated taste. Overall I enjoyed my experience, though from seeing other pizza in the area that I have yet to taste I don't think it's quite the best of the best that Buenos Aires has to offer. I'd still recommend it for anyone nearby looking for some authentic Argentine pizza.

Serving up pizza in this neighborhood since 1956, this is classic, old-school Argentine pizza. The…read moremenu is short and sweet, some basic variations on mozzarella slices or pies with typical toppings - ham or peppers or a combo, the same with versions of fugazzeta, and a few others. Highly recommended were their plain mozzarella (32 pesos) and their fugazzeta (42 pesos), so a slice of each, the latter coming with a slice of ham laid over it, and a slice of fainá (26 pesos), chickpea flatbread. The crust on the plain slice was very soft and doughy - a touch under-cooked, and the cheese was just a melting goo, though at least not particularly oily. The fugazzeta showed better - browned nicely, with a crisp edge and base to the crust, and lightly charred onions atop. The fainá was quite good as well - served hot, and has a good amount of grated cheese on the surface, giving it a really nice flavor. Overall, not bad, though I can't say that I think it's the best pizza in that neighborhood.

It's one of those traditional porteño places where you order a slice or two and then stand at a…read morecounter and eat. It's been around since the 1930s, and one of their "secrets" is that they top the pizzas with provençal, or a mix of chopped garlic and parsley, as a finishing touch. We decided to try their fugazzeta, one of the choice recommendations of many reviewers, and I've got to say, it's one of the best I've had. I swear the onions are bathed in butter before being stuck under the broiler, and the dough and cheese are not overwhelming underneath as they are at some spots. In fact, I should try fugazzeta at more places on these treks - I mean, it's dough, cheese, and caramelized onions. What's not to like? They didn't have a plain mozzarella pizza ready, and for some reason, they seemed unable to produce one for nearly 25 minutes (several actually came out of the kitchen, but all went to customers who were ordering whole pies to take-away - meanwhile, half a dozen of us stood around waiting). With apologies, the counter guy doubled everyone's order at no cost, so we got two slices for the price of one when the plain pies finally came out. Really good dough, decent sauce, though as usual could have used more of it. The cheese a bit too oily for our tastes. But wow, that garlic and parsley really does add to the flavor - I'm stealing that. Overall, I really liked the place.

Sorry to say, but the pizza at Pirilo has gone down hill since Fernando left. I do not know what…read morehe did that was different than the new cook, but it was amazing. Nowadays, it's only so-so; hardly what I used to look forward to so much. Also, it is not as if the servers are friendly. Fernando always had a smile for his customers. Now when I want great pizza, I go to Antonio's at Tacuari 76. It is Neapolitan pizza and I like their Cuatro Formaggi and Margherita pizzas the best.

Great pizza! Highly recommend visiting. Had a slice of Fuguzetta…read more Took a star away as I wish they described the ingredients in detail on the menu for tourists.

The fugazetta is the standard of the house. One slice is so massive you are full for the day!!! No tables to be seen just stand and eat and move on. Super crowded but worth every second of the wait
