I’ve heard recommendations for this place “to really understand Argentine pizza”, almost always from locals, which is usually a bit of a warning flag. Not that they don’t have good taste, but there’s almost always this sort of heart-strings, nostalgia, it’s the place we went to every week when I was a kid and I remember it as the best. We all have those place from when we grew up. So we approached this one with a little trepidation. On arrival, we found a small pizzeria with cars, taxis, motorcycles, and trucks parked haphazardly on the street in front, and inside, jam packed with people, half of them spread out around the small counters lining the walls, rapidly gobbling down slices of pizza, fainá, and empanadas, and washing it down with glasses or bottles of seltzer water. The other half were lined up in a snaking queue to the cash register. We got in line, it moves fast – despite their being about twenty people in front of us, it took no more than about five minutes. You order, you pay, you get a slip of paper, the guy next to the cashier hands you your drink (almost everyone gets seltzer, with a smattering of sodas and beers), and then you move down the counter to pick up your food – hand over your ticket and tell them to go or to stay, and in seconds it’s in your hands. I have to admit, if there’s a place that could be the the poster boy for Argentine style pizza, this has got to be it. Thick crust, the merest blush of sauce seemingly just brushed on it, and gobs and gobs of cheese. We’ve seen it too many times. But you know what, they do it right at La Mezzetta – the crust is smoky, charred, and has a good crunch, the cheese is gooey, and while it could use a little more browning, it’s tasty, and the sauce adds just an elusive hint of tomato to it all. An anchovy slice was quite good – the tomato sauce really shines when there’s enough of it, and it’s not masked under gobs of cheese. On the other hand, the fugazzeta rellena was an oily yawn. First, they do a double crust pizza and sandwich an extra layer of cheese between the two crusts – plus the usual quantity on top – it was just way too much dough and oily cheese. And, the onions weren’t caramelized, they were borderline raw, and fairly scarce at that – it was almost like they’d just scattered a small handful on top of the parbaked pie (they precook all their pizzas as plain cheese ones on prebaked dough, and then add toppings to order), and just warmed it up. The last, which they’re famed for, disappointing.

I’m not one who loves cheese or onions but the fugazetta here is so good! That being said, I wouldn’t get a slice to eat by myself because it is just too much but the flavors are excellent. This slice of pizza is basically 5% dough at the bottom, 5% onions at the top, and 90% cheese. We ordered a faina to try and I’m glad we did because it acted as dough to eat with the excess of cheese. The pizza was crispy and had a nice onion flavor at the top, extremely cheesy in the middle, and crispy at the bottom. We also ordered a beef as well as a ham and cheese baked empanada. These empanadas weren’t my favorite but this place is known for pizza so I’m eating them for their pizza. There was a line when we went for lunch and I have a feeling they have a line all the time. This place is very popular with locals, students, cab drivers, construction workers, and those who work in the area.

We came across this place from watching Netflix's Street Food Latin America and we had the best pizza of our life here - the Fugazetta (a stuffed pizza). We were so silly to order the grande size for only 2 people, but it was amazing! The pieces are huge, fully stuffed with cheese and onions and it was so delicious. Even though we didn't speak much Spanish and the staff not much English, they were all friendly and we had excellent service. We also tried the Dulce de leche postre which was yummy. There was a queue out the front but we didn't have to wait too long and once we ordered our meal it arrived very quickly and fresh. It was also very affordable prices. If you're in Buenos Aires you really have to make the trip to La Mezzetta it's amazing and you won't be disappointed! Gracias to all of the staff for an amazing meal!

IMPRESIONANTE. Este es el comentario que estabas buscando para decidir si viajar hasta allá para comer. Andá sí o sí hermano. Mejor que Guerrin y el cuartito.

Para quienes deseen ver una reseña más extensa:

La Fugazzeta: El gusto que vas a probar sí o sí. Todos viajamos hasta allá para probarla, hay expectativas muy altas y con orgullo puedo decir que las supera ampliamente. Es mentira eso de que no se puede comer con la mano, dale 2 minutitos de que se enfríe un toque el queso y ya la podes agarrar, no va a dejar de estar crocante ni caliente ni el queso va a dejar de derretirse. A pesar de que se ve poca cebolla por porción, se SIENTE, está presente todo el rato. La cebolla está full cocinada en el horno, así que no vayas con la idea de saborearla "cruda". El gusto es muy balanceado y no sabe para nada a quemado a pesar de que sale medio oscurita. Te aconsejo llevar tu propia servilleta de papel para limpiarte por la grasita del queso. Impecable, realmente la mejor Fuga del mundo. 5/5

La Napolitana: Realmente no esperaba mucho de este sabor pero fue la sorpresa! Tiene Mucho Sabor a Ajo. Es hermosa. Los amantes del ajo lo agradecemos. La salsa de tomate a mi parecer es muy poca para tanta cantidad de queso, por lo que el tomate al horno de este sabor termina complementando perfectamente a la salsa. El tomate es grueso sí, pero está horneado al punto de que se deshace en la boca, así que hasta el que le saca el tomate a la hamburguesa puede disfrutar este gusto. Sinceramente me terminó gustando más que la propia Fugazzeta, con eso digo todo. Sobresaliente, mi personal favorito de la mezzetta. 5/5

Jamón y Morrón: En general es mi sabor favorito si voy a una pizzería cualquiera, por lo que esperaba más nivel de este local. El morrón bien, el jamón es muy fino, aunque debe decirse que es de muy buena calidad. Me hubiera gustado sentir el sabor a morrón al horno, o previamente cocinado al rescoldo en una hornalla, pero tampoco fue el caso. Creo que la Estella de esta porción es la masa crocante, que contrasta muy bien con la ternura de los toppings. Hubiera preferido un jamón mas grueso o que tome mas dorado en el horno. Sería un golazo en cualquier pizzería, pero viniendo de la mezzetta, le exigiría mucho mas sabor, porque es más cara que la Napolitana. 4/5

Anchoas: No muy fan de las pizzas sin queso, no puedo ser objetivo. Siento que tiene la cantidad de salsa que debería tener cualquier sabor. Pedila si ya sabes que te gusta.

Fainá: A mí parecer tiene el faina más rico de Baires, es tierno y se nota que no usan huevo (no debería llevar, el cuartito tiene gusto a huevo y parece un panqueque). Un rico gusto de garbanzo, está bastante más presente que en otras pizzerías. Es tierna y ligeramente arenosa. El precio es muy económico. 5/5

Empanadas: Solo probé la de carne. Tenía gusto a carne hervida, sólo está rica la masa. 2/5 (mejor con esa plata comprar faina u otra porción de pizza)

Recomendación: ir tipo al mediodía cuando hay más fila, que se nota que ponen más ingredientes y más abundancia cuando hay mucha clientela. Cuando fui tipo 18hs y no había fila sentí que mi Napo tenía poco ajo y tomate, por ejemplo.

Finalmente mi top 3 de pizzerías: 1) Mezzetta 2) Guerrin 3) El...

So I'm lodging a block away from this establishment. Saturday night I've noticed a long line maybe a hundred people waiting for pizza. Coincidentally the Uber driver and the host of my Airbnb also recommended the place. Today I walk by at about 2:30 p.m.and there's like three people so I decide to give it a try. The main Pizza people order is the Fugatezza. It's a pizza with a little bit of onion toppings the entire middle is completely filled with gooey delicious mozzarella cheese. The pizza can be in with a fork and a knife it's kind of like a deep dish pizza. The flavors were actually very good I much enjoyed the slice. I thought the price was very very good at 200 Argentinian pesos. However, it's not pizza with die for. I've had better. It's a good pizza and it is what it is, good to try it once if you had the time and there was no line, but I wouldn't be waiting a line...
