Sbarro New York Pizza is coming to Buenos Aires.

[MercyRego]

I thought everyone loved pizza here- never been disappointed personally.

You have to try El Cuartito in microcentro.
It's special. And their base isn't as thick as, say Kentucky.

The anchovy (anchoa) -- triple marinated sauce, no cheese, and a single anchovy across it.
Their cheese (Mozza) is great too. Kind of smokey, deeper flavor than mozza I've had elsewhere.

Anyone else have favorite pizza spots to recommend?

I doubt there is an empanada worth $500 pesos one way Uber Drive.

Maybe not from that place. But, check the picture from La Americana.

Why are the pizzas here never hot enough? Like 30 seconds later you might as well eat a solid piece of cheese.

I figured it was because the crusts are already made and they're really only melting the cheese and warming the topping before serving it to you. I resorted to preheating the oven before I bring the pizza back so I can cook it for 10 or so more minutes.

I do this as well

El Fortin is two blocks from my new apartment, 7 from my old. I have never ate there but it is always completely full with people (or, I should say was always full).

Everyone loves the pizza they grew up with. I find the pizza in BA pretty awful. And why can't I choose my own toppings? And eat your pizza with a knife and fork?

I disagree. Most people (Yanquis I mean) probably grew up with bad pizza, unless they're from NYC or thereabouts. I spent part of my childhood in places where people would argue over whether Pizza Hut or Domino's was better. And I'm old enough to remember when Pizza Hut had real restaurants with tables and servers.

You also can't say which is pizza is awful without saying which you think is better...

New York pizza is far from my favorite option. It is full of oil, to the point that I have to "dry" it on top with a napkin before I start eating it. In addition, you have to fold it in two to be able to eat it, otherwise it falls mercilessly and causes the oil to drip everywhere. It is the same in almost all pizzerias. For me, not even in an emergency case of pizza carving.

Pizza Hut or Domino's: I tried them once, 25 years ago and I said never again!
Then there are the brick-oven pizzas (or wood-coal fire oven): John's Pizza, Lombardi -both in Manhattan-, etc. A good option but NEVER like in Buenos Aires. Those are similar to "Los Inmortales" (BA), a kind of "pipí-cucú" pizza. Too "finoli" for a pizza, since I believe that pizza and tango originally belong to the suburbs and lose a lot when they are placed within another context.

In NY: for me the best is ROBERTA'S. Just writing the name makes my mouth water. A delicacy. However, all those pizza stores in NY lack the "smell of pizza (a mixture of pizza and cardboard box) so characteristic of Buenos Aires...
