The Italians left us a tradition that took flight and began its own cycle in Buenos Aires: the Porteño pizza. In this note, we'll cover the usual places where the proposal is to try the authentic recipe. Because there are things that, even as years go by, we want to remain steadfast and stoic, to celebrate our customs: at the bar, at a table, by the slice, with or without "fainá" (a chickpea flour flatbread), for one person or for ten, Buenos Aires pizza can be enjoyed in different ways. Far from sourdough and other variations like Neapolitan, which dominate today's algorithms, Porteño pizzerias bring to life a circuit that narrates the identity of the city and its inhabitants.
Here, pizza is made in a pan: a thicker dough to support the generous mozzarella cheese. And that's precisely the litmus test: if the latter doesn't overflow or stretch like gum when cutting a slice, we're not talking about a classic Porteño pizzeria.
These places we've chosen add an ingredient, the mystique, which comes from the immigrant's nostalgia, or from being located in old venues that preserve the original facades of another Buenos Aires. Therefore, the experience is completed on-site. Forget about delivery, you have to go to these 11 Porteño pizzerias.
