El Palacio de Pizza

[Aqualung]

Any decent Argentine Pizzería will give you a choice of A la piedra (thin crust) media masa (thicker) and Masa (thickest) - You just have to ask

[Moore]

As much as I like it, Chicago pizza or New York pizza is just that - it's not Italian pizza.

Argentine pizza (like what you get at Romario or just about any sidewalk cafe in BsAs) is much closer to the real thing than American pizza. And Filo is about as close to the genuine Italian product that you can get without being in Naples.

BTW, Italians (the ones in Italy) never heard of spaghetti with meatballs either.

Its right under Thomaso's apartment.

Course there'll be some CockSucker's that don't Jack Off, thinking their going to go blind form doing it that don't like the place.

But its the best I've found.

Greetings everyone,

I left this Exon missive untouched so you might get a glimpse of what they usually look like before I edit them.

Thanks,

I heard there was an internet that some guy named Al Gore invented so I looked it up. The name is just plain Filo and it is 975 San Martín which indeed places it between Paraguay and Marcelo T de Alvear. That is the east side of the street.

So if you are Exon and you walk out of Martina's apartment building in the 1000 block of Suipacha after Getting a Hand Job, you have to turn away from the hand you jack off with and then turn away from the hand you jack off with again when you get to Marcelo, then turn towards the hand you jack off with when you get to San Martín, and then it is on the side of the street where you could be walking down the street playing pocket pool with yourself and they could not see you doing it.

I like Filo's as well. In addition to decent pizza, they have a huge menu. Includes mussels, clams etc. Also, some very nice looking non pros as well as some working girls in with their "dates". Pretty hip atmosphere as BA goes. Can't help with directions as I don't remember. It's on the side of the street the cabbie disposes you. Hound or Thomaso know this area well.

Well, ol Hound weighed in while I was typing.

I second Exon's opinion of Filo's pizza. It's one of the few places, along with Romario's, that seem to cook the crust and cheese at the same time. Thin indeed. As for NY style pizza, unfortunatly BB, I think you'll be disappointed in what you'll find here that has any resemblance. It's just not similar to what you're used to. A somewhat decent and really busy walk-in slice joint can be found on Lavalle between Florida and Maipu if you're in the area.

[Dickhead]

To translate Exon's post, the place is on San Martín on some side, we don't know which, of Paraguay and Marcelo T de Alvear (which run parallel). I'm not sure it's on "this" side. It might be on "that" side.

So maybe when Exon Get's Done JacKing Off he Could tell Us which side, like maybe north or south, or maybe he means it is between Marcelo T de Alvear and Paraguay, or maybe he Got Some in His eye while he Was Jacking Off and can't remember where the fucking place is.

Badboy13,

Try "Filo's" on San Martian just this side of M. T. Alavar and Paragary, Its the best I've found in Buenos Aires. They serve a thin crust.

After living in Europe for the past year I'm tired of the crap they pass off as pizza here, friggen pita bread with parmesan sprinkled on it. Quattro Formaggi my ass.

I can't wait to try some good ol' new york style big slice pizza or some nice deep dish. If anyone knows any good new york style pizza places here ala Joe Peeps, I would be most greatful for the information.

I don't mind the heart burn, as long as the pizza is gooooood

To pour a little oil (extra virgin olive, please) into the war flames, from a European point of view, where the standards have been set in Naples and Palermo (the one in Sicily, not 10 blocks from here) anything that does not have a thin bottom, crispy, exactly right perimeter and a thin, not too wet topping, and is not buried under a cheese factory's annual production, does not qualify as pizza.

This includes everything I have ever eaten in the U. S. And unfortunately also everything I got yet in Bs. As. It also includes most that is served in Germany.

I had some pizza for lunch, and I am still digesting on the cheese. That's why the remark.

But if anybody finds a real Italian pizza in this city (and I think there should be some, considering 30% of the population is of Italian origin) let us know.

Heresy. You need to be burned at the stake, Aleman. Or thrown into a pizza oven.

This is the world's greatest pizza. It is served in Chicago and isn't some little tiny shingle of overcooked bread and sauce.

It even tastes better on the second day as these pictures prove.

[ComeOnDown]

Well here is the list of my favorite pizza places located in the city (I will not include those located in the suburbs). Each one serving their own style of pizza.

1. Bakano - Aguero 1669

If you want your pizza prepared thin crust then this is the place for you. They are easy on the cheese in this joint so no risk of suffering from cheese indigestion.

2. La Americana - Callao 83

According to an Argentine friend this restaurant has been around since he was a kid and he is now in his 40s. For those who prefer a thicker dough you might want to try their pizza. If you are in a hurry, you can order a porcion and eat standing up at the counter.

3. La Pascana - Paraguay 5100 (Palermo Hollywood)

The thickness of the dough here is somewhere in between - not so thick and not so thin. Unlike the pizza joints above, this one has no other branches. So be prepared to wait in line. It is advisable to come early to avoid the crowd. They even have a website.

I'm a pizza lover so I can't wait to try out the other places discussed in this thread.

Buon appetito!

See? You just can't please everyone when it comes to pizza. I don't like La Continental too much. Too salty for me. Must be the cheese. And they burn their empanadas. Some branches may be better than others. I've only been to two La Continentals, the one on Talcahuano near Marcelo and another one somewhere I forget.

[El Perro]

Great pizza at El Cuartito. I get over there often. I also like the boxing / futbol posters from "the day".

[Stormy]

El Cuartito is right at the corner of Talcahuano and Paraguay.

One small pizza is enough for two hungry men. The pizza "Atomica" is actually spicy and the pizza napolitana with ham is the favorita of my favorita for lunch the next day. The place is often wildly busy.
