The worst pizza in the world?

[arty]

filo is about the best you are going to get around here. not the best in the world, but in BA by far.

Your post clearly explains why you like the crappy pizza in Buenos Aires, because you have never tried GOOD pizza......

... you argies need to wake up and stop being lazy or you will always be a 3rd world country, and please don't come up with some lame excuse about how you don't have this or that, Argentina has all the possibilities of the USA, you are just a bunch of lazy mate drinking procrastinators.....

And I am not going to adapt to pizza that i know is crappy, I am still hoping I will find a good pizza in Buenos Aires and i will let you know if I do

Don't bother, you are wasting your time and money, you will never are going to find here the pizza you are looking for, as a sample "Pizza Hut" was here as "KFC" and they left in a rush without any glory....plain and simple the tastes here are "DIFFERENT" (get it) a thing you should know by now, but you continue insisting to find some pizza to suit your taste, sorry but that is not going to happen, that's the way it's....swicht to pork it's good for you enhances your sex life.

As for "and that applies to more than pizza in Argentina, you argies need to wake up and stop being lazy or you will always be a 3rd world country, and please don't come up with some lame excuse about how you don't have this or that"...Now with that kind of comments you are getting close and personal and also seems as it's almost natural from your side to be a patronizing moron. If you don't like the pizza here import it from the good ol' U.S. of A., or go over there and have a nice pizza binge, that is what I do when I'm over here...get stuffed with all the food I really miss... including BA pizzas.

Don't take it personal, it is a generalization of the Argies, I know a few honest hard working Argies that I get along with great. As for you telling me not to bother trying to find GOOD pizza in Buenos Aires is an example of your small minded attitude and if you would bother reading my other posts in this thread you would know that today I already found close to GOOD pizza at FILO and as I keep trying new pizza places I am sure i will find something better.

As much as I love Buenos Aires I agree that it its food preparation is sadly lacking and this is cultural . Greek people will spend hours preparing dishes with lots of attention to detail especially for special occasions. Here in general it seems that if you can get away with serving bad quality and not spending a lot of monies they will try this and unfortunately succeed as peoples standards are low .

Italian food in Buenos Aires in most cases is atrocious and only very few restaurants are recommendable . The pastas and sauces lack flavour with cheap fillings and very high prices being common. There are a few good pizza and italian restaurants but for a city with the population of Buenos Aires this is a sad situation.

I'd like to know where exactly Quentin Daniels found good pizza in the US. I spent nearly forty years there without managing to locate a decent one. Not even the famed Armand's Chicago pizza was up to par.

Perhaps he's referring to "Domino's Pizza - We Deliver"?

The States has many wonderful things, but pizza is definitely not one of them.

Sara, you're being ridiculous.

I grew up in NYC with fantastic pizza and Italian food everywhere. And it still boggles my mind how all of the "Italians" here in Argentina manage to screw Italian food up so badly. There may be a decent place here and there in this city of millions (most of whom are desperate to tell foreigners about how "Italian" they are) but that's just not good enough. Having to trek halfway across the city to get a decent pizza is ridiculous.

I worked at a pizza joint in high school and my boss would get there early in the morning every day to start preparing for the day. His sauce was fantastic and his recipe a secret. All of their ingredients were top-quality and expensive because they were proud and competitive and making the best pizza in the neighborhood is how they earned the loyalty of their customers, even if they were a bit more expensive than some other joints.

That pride and competitive spirit doesn't exist here. Pizza joints are content to sell crap and their customers are content to eat it. It's nasty.

I don't even try pizza here anymore. It's not worth it. Better to gorge when I'm back home and just hold on to the delicious memories than eat any of the crap served here.

it's a total nonsense to affirm that the pizzas are here the best or the worst when compared to the tastes you grew up, and that is not going for the pizza alone but for all the varieties of food in general.

It has nothing to do with the tastes you grew up with and all to do with fresh quality ingredients and taking the time and caring about the preparation. And yes all the varieties of food in Buenos Aires has been prepared this sorry way, just look how the argies ruins good meat by not knowing how to butcher it and then soaking it in salt, throwing it on a parilla overcooking the piece of fat with a little dry meat left on it. Now the cheap losers has even stopped grass-feeding their cows and are pumping them full of hormones trying to make some more pesos, this is sad.

YES!! They have tried and the country made pizzas always come on top...they are the best pizzas for an Argie.
Daniels this country have a long history and tradition in producing pizzas as you can see there is a pizzeria in almost every street or corner of this city and it's not a late trendy fashion that the portenos discovered just now, it as been like that for ages.

The are the best for an argie because of their mind-set, always thinking they are the best and know everything better than others and not willing to try new things, I do know argies that have tried good quality foods but because of their stubborn and stuck up ways will not admit it tastes better than their own poor quality foods. And about your long history and tradition of making shitty pizza all I can do is laugh....

plain and simple the tastes here are "DIFFERENT" (get it) a thing you should know by now, but you continue insisting to find some pizza to suit your taste, sorry but that is not going to happen, that's the way it's....

You keep insisting on this, I am not trying to find pizza to suit my taste I am trying to find well made GOOD quality pizza. And that tastes here are "DIFFERENT" that is true because people here has a limited opportunity to try well made FOOD made from QUALITY ingredients and SPICES, but even giving an argie this opportunity they probably wont take it because of the "know it all" stuck up attitude. Just look what the Peruvians have done with their fantastic food scene and they don't half the resources Argentina does.

QD, It might be somewhat true that being Buenos Aires such a large city, the % of high quality food prepared with high quality ingredients should be much higher. However if you get out out BsAs and visit other places you will find out that the quality of food is higher.

I honestly do not think most Americans eat well, or high quality products and preparations, I am sure if you compare the number of people that eat this way, versus the ones that do McD, BK, Wendy´s, KFC, Domino´s, and the likes, you will find that the latter are the vast majority.

Hi Nikad, I have to agree with you on that the further away from Buenos Aires you get the food quality and taste gets better.
And yes most Americans eat shitty food because its cheap and they like it but the difference is that great quality food is available almost everywhere as a choice to the shitty food, in Buenos Aires your only choice is the shitty one. By the way are you Argentinian?

Yes I am local married to an American expat. There are some very good places, but definitely there should be a larger offer available. Years ago the overall quality of ingredients was higher ( however the variety was smaller )

This is nonsense...and I thought Argentines were intolerant. Couldn't you just accept that we like the meat as we cook it and no, thanks, don't want to eat it like you like it?
I wouldn't change a good asado for any other meal in the World, it is part of our traditions and culture. Imagine an Argentine suggesting you use chimichurri instead of blueberry sauce (or whathever it is called) on your turkeys.
