Güerrín
If you’re a pizza lover and you’re looking for the best pizzerias in Buenos Aires, you have to start with Güerrín. Located on Corrientes Avenue for over 80 years, Güerrín is an institution when it comes to pizza. You’ll know you’ve arrived when you see the line stretching a whole block just to get in. Luckily, the line moves quickly because Güerrin is very large; you can enjoy an excellent meal standing or sitting, and the waiters don’t just walk with the pizzas—they fly. Their specialty is the “pizza de molde,” a soft and fluffy crust: all their pizzas are incredible, but TasteAtlas ranked it 18th on its list of legendary restaurants for its fugazzeta.
El Cuartito
El Cuartito is famous for its traditional-style pizzas, generous slices, and crispy crust: mozzarella and ham or fugazza with cheese are two classics if you visit this Buenos Aires pizzeria. But what would a pizzeria be without its walls? Here, they’re all covered with photos and mementos from decades past. Pizza and nostalgia go together perfectly. If you want to immerse yourself in the tradition and flavor of the best Buenos Aires pizzas, El Cuartito is undoubtedly one of the best pizzerias in Buenos Aires.

Its crust is always spectacular, the ingredients are fresh, and that’s why it’s known even beyond the neighborhood.
⏰Open Monday through Saturday starting at 9 a.m.
Los Inmortales
Los Inmortales has perfected the art of pizza by finding the ideal dough thickness—neither too thick nor too thin—to ensure that every bite is an unforgettable experience. Its charm lies in its attention to detail. Each pizza is carefully prepared, from the selection of fresh ingredients to the kneading of the dough. A must-visit if you’re looking for the best pizzerias in Buenos Aires.

Pizza Paradiso
Pizza Paradiso is chef Donato de Santis’s pizzeria. A wood-fired oven, hand-kneaded dough, and Italian style come together in a beautiful pizzeria featuring soft, fluffy crust, always-fresh ingredients, and a light-filled atmosphere that invites you to eat and savor your meal without rushing. A truly Italian experience that combines the best local ingredients and styles to create one of the city’s best pizzas.

Mafia
Mafia is a pizzeria in Belgrano where homemade flavors and sourdough are the stars of every dish. Each pizza comes straight out of the oven and always has a surprise element that makes even a Neapolitan pizza taste different. Must-tries: the pizza with blue cheese and stracciatella, the marinated olives, the portobello pâté, and their reimagined cocktails. But while the menu alone is reason enough to visit (and return to) this Buenos Aires pizzeria, its atmosphere makes you feel like you’re in a 1920s bar: velvet and bold colors—you bring the company.
