Famous for its fugazza, a pizza de molde smothered in onions and topped with olive oil, salt, and sometimes just a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. The fugazza con queso or fugazzeta is the same as the first except there's an added mozzarella cheese-bonus on top.

Where the pizza is loaded with cheese! Maybe bring your own napkins or you’ll be wiping your hands with what seems like tiny sheets of wax paper.

I’ve heard recommendations for this place “to really understand Argentine pizza”, almost always from locals, which is usually a bit of a warning flag. Not that they don’t have good taste, but there’s almost always this sort of heart-strings, nostalgia, it’s the place we went to every week when I was a kid and I remember it as the best. We all have those place from when we grew up. So we approached this one with a little trepidation. On arrival, we found a small pizzeria with cars, taxis, motorcycles, and trucks parked haphazardly on the street in front, and inside, jam packed with people, half of them spread out around the small counters lining the walls, rapidly gobbling down slices of pizza, fainá, and empanadas, and washing it down with glasses or bottles of seltzer water. The other half were lined up in a snaking queue to the cash register. We got in line, it moves fast – despite their being about twenty people in front of us, it took no more than about five minutes. You order, you pay, you get a slip of paper, the guy next to the cashier hands you your drink (almost everyone gets seltzer, with a smattering of sodas and beers), and then you move down the counter to pick up your food – hand over your ticket and tell them to go or to stay, and in seconds it’s in your hands. I have to admit, if there’s a place that could be the the poster boy for Argentine style pizza, this has got to be it. Thick crust, the merest blush of sauce seemingly just brushed on it, and gobs and gobs of cheese. We’ve seen it too many times. But you know what, they do it right at La Mezzetta – the crust is smoky, charred, and has a good crunch, the cheese is gooey, and while it could use a little more browning, it’s tasty, and the sauce adds just an elusive hint of tomato to it all. An anchovy slice was quite good – the tomato sauce really shines when there’s enough of it, and it’s not masked under gobs of cheese. On the other hand, the fugazzeta rellena was an oily yawn. First, they do a double crust pizza and sandwich an extra layer of cheese between the two crusts – plus the usual quantity on top – it was just way too much dough and oily cheese. And, the onions weren’t caramelized, they were borderline raw, and fairly scarce at that – it was almost like they’d just scattered a small handful on top of the parbaked pie (they precook all their pizzas as plain cheese ones on prebaked dough, and then add toppings to order), and just warmed it up. The last, which they’re famed for, disappointing.

The fugazzetta was delicious!! We ordered faina and it was good together, Recommended!! Just point out that the area where people needs to stand and eat can be more clean 🙏

I wanted to try 1 portion fugazzeta and they said they don’t sell portion only small and big size. I said I came from turkey and only want to try, they said not possible then I had to order small size. While I was waiting for my pizza, the others started to have portion. And I asked why you did not give me the portion and they said you said you came from Turkey and you wanted to try. What they did is definitely tourist trap. I don’t recommend this way of business.

Best pizza in Buenos Aires! Very traditional atmosphere. The small pizza is good enough for two people.

This is a classic place that every tourist should pay a visit to experience the true Argentinian pizza. Worth trying the fugazzeta and the fugazza with faina (in case you don’t like too much cheese on the pizza).

Even though I’m not a fan of onions, I loved the legendary fugazzetta! Crispy onions, soft dough, tons of cheese - what else can you wish for? We’ve got a small sized pizza, but after two slices I was full till the next afternoon :) Workers were polite as well. Definitely gonna come back!

Goodness the fugazetta is amazing here. Stuffed with amazingly gooey cheese and perfectly cooked onions. So good. One slice is sufficient for sure!!!! So good. Service is lovely. You just order at the counter and go inside and wait for the pizza man to ask you what you ordered!! Comes out quickly and you eat standing at a table packed with plenty of other pizza lovers. Super good prices and is a must if you love pizza

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

I am sooooo glad we don't live that close or else I would be at this place every single day. So very traditional for argentine style pizza and I love it. Thick and full of cheese. 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

Wonderful pizzeria for this part of town, especially if you just visited the Chacarita cemetery. I came here in search for the ultimate Fugazetta, but alas I firmly believe El Cuartito won the duel.

just a quick stop, eating standing up, a classic fugazzetta. a traditional glass of moscato and time to make room for other guests, 10 minutes max
