The pizza of Argentina

Make it yourself and try it! It's good.

Pass...

bread and cheese is always good.

I'm surprised no meat. Argentinians love meat.

It looks heavy.

Interesting. I normally don't order onions on anything from pizza or sub shops because they're usually rotten and stale - but as long as they're freshly cut, I'm good.

Totally my type. No tomato sauce and tons of cheese (two of my favorites as well), with onions and a Caramelized crust.

Glad it has no meat — anything other than prosciutto or pancetta or pepperoni on pizza is fucking gross.

I knew I saw this somewhere.

Argentines order Neapolitan-style pizza for delivery when they're at home.

Don’t cry for me, deep dish pizza.

I’d tap that.

That seems like a mash-up of focaccia and tarte flambee. It's not what most Argentines call pizza.

R12 what is the more standard Argentine pizza like?

They eat a lot of weird shit in Argentina, there's an entire section of the country that was settled by welsh people where the local delicacies are all ham and cheese based.

Neapolitan. Sometimes authentic, sometimes not (just like American pizza).

This may sound sacrilegious (sorry Italy) but I've heard their Italian-style cheeses, especially the Parm to be almost as good as Italian. They do have quite a sizeable Italian population, so I'm inclined to believe.

I want to know more about the men, less about the pizza.

Aregentines like to eat bubbling casseroles of melted Provolone as an appetizer before big plates of grilled meat.

It's not a low-cal country.

The Argies make fantastic food. No on that particular pizza. Their meat dishes are fantastic.

Their gelato is delicious as well. I was in a mall in Buenos Aires and there were THREE different stores selling gelato.

I like Argentine empanadas. My partner works near an Argentine deli and he'll sometimes stop by and get some -- always a line almost out the door.

Fat whores rejoice!

I just love the way they make ribs. Plus I love Alfajores Argentinos.

Potatoes from Peru and a grill from Argentina = Heaven !

R20 The best ice cream in the world is at Freddo. Their banana is unrivaled.

Whatever you want to call that in OP's picture, I want it! I want it in me right now. The onions also look carmelized...yum!

Here's another photo of Pizza Argentina

Oh fuck! Olives, too? I'm moving to Argentina...

I’d eat the shit out of that!!!

Forgive any typos, I’m typing fat

Some of the best pizza I had was in Buenos Aires.

This is very interesting, OP.

Their food is just so good. If only I had an Argie boyfriend so he could do some parrilla and Asado. I cannot get into yerba mate though...

R20 - yeah, helado stores are abundant. As are empandas and pizzas and parillas (assortment of cooked beef products). Oh and beef / steak.

But not a ton of anything else. It's a very boring range of food offerings. It gets old very quickly. Monotonous.

Yerba Mate does taste good after awhile, but it's bizarre to see people walking around with all of their little yerba mate holders, like fucking IVs.

I hate olives but wow they don’t hold back with the cheese. And no tomato sauce. I like that in a pizza.

This article is interesting. Different pizzas around the world.

Okonomiyaki should not be in that article. It's completely different.

São Paulo has better, as good as Naples or New York.

Looks good, incl. the pizza at R26. I don't understand pizza that has crust like a thin cracker with a light scattering of toppings. What's even worse is when there's raw salad greens liberally sprinkled on top, after the pizza comes out of the oven.

I'm not saying pizza has to be deep dish, but give me a break with this thin pizza with hardly any toppings but a pound of salad on top.

Looks delicious. I’d probably opt for only one layer of crust and some sweet Italian sausage.

R17, more photos please

R40 what is Brazil style pizza?

R23 can you give me more info about how they make the ribs? I ❤️ ribs!

A chunk of Argentina's economy rests on cows, which produce dairy as well as meat. So beef and cheese are abundant, and given the insane exchange rate, super affordable for anyone with access to USD. I find cheese-laden, doughy Argentine pizza way too heavy. And don't expect any heat -- spicy food in general is hard to come by. As is getting into the country nowadays - Buenos Aires' international airport (EZE) has been closed since March. It was supposed to reopen in September, but that seems to have stalled. And Buenos Aires is still under quarantine.

I wouldn't throw Argentina pizza out of bed.

Would you rather have the man or the pizza?

Forgot image.

What's new on my pizza?

Looks good. It probably costs $50 in Argentina. $75 if you try to buy it tomorrow.

Argentine cuisine is good, but I'd rather nibble on this Argentine:

Tomás Lavanini

You're all fat pigs.

The only problem with the food in Argentina, which is delicious, is the timing - dinner starts at 11 PM. In the restaurants, which are packed with families, the dinner rush ends at close to 1 AM

R51 I would love that!

Maybe not 11 but 10 would be my ideal time most nights.

I wish we at least had that option in the states -- things used to be open much later.

Miami comes the closest.

R51 what time do they go to bed? You should digest for at least three hours after dinner.
