El Cuartito

Buenos Aires


Order a slice of pizza and a cold glass of beer – and eat it while standing up at the counter – to have the classic experience at one of Buenos Aires' oldest pizzerias. You'll feast alongside local office workers and longtime neighborhood residents with a good view of the old sports posters and soccer shirts hanging on the walls.

The empanadas are great, too. Take a seat at a table to order from the full menu.
