“ Our first trip to Buenos Aires and everyone says we need to eat pizza at Guerín...we did... El Cuartito is much much better...more choices and better prices are only part of the story. Try El Atomíco...really good pie and we're used to New Haven pizza! ”
“ 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! ”
“ 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! ”
“ Amazing pizza. Was packed on a saturday night but the service was friendly (considering I don't speak Spanish) and me and my sister really enjoyed our meal! ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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!! ”
“ 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. ”
“ 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. ”
