Fodor's Review:

This porteño classic has been making pizza and empanadas since 1934, and the surroundings have changed little in the last 40 years. The brusque waitstaff is part of the charm. Drop in for a slice at the mostrador (counter) or make yourself comfortable under the portraits of Argentine sporting greats for fantastic, no-nonsense food. Try a slice of fainá (like a chickpea-flour flatbread), one of the traditional Argentine variations on pizza, and don't miss out on their flan with dulce de leche.

It was so busy and mostly locals which is always a plus.
We ate here about 3 times in the month we visited. It was great value, very fun and buzzing and the pizza was delicious.

If you want to taste the real argentine pizza, not the fashion one. You must go here, the dough and the cheese is first quality. The best one. You should try Fugazzeta Rellena!!!
