PIZZA Pirilo — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

This place is an “experience”. Officially, it’s open from 2-11pm, every day but Monday, but that’s complete nonsense as best I can tell. Somewhere around noon, people start kind of casually gathering near to it. It’s a teeny little space, if you put tables in there you might fit a table for four and a table for two. But it’s all standing room only. Somewhere around 12:30, or 1:00, or maybe 1:30, someone will come out through the partially open metal security gate, and quickly raise it up. By that time, there will be enough people gathered around to quickly fill the space. There’s not much order to it all, unlike the usual porteño, happy to wait in line process, here, you just jam your way to the counter, order, and pay, and then fight your way to pick up what you ordered, find a place to stand, inside or out, and eat. It’s like being in a subway train at rush hour, with food. And, generally, within a very short time, usually about an hour to an hour and a half, they’re sold out of everything they’ve made, and they don’t make more. Gradually, everyone drifts out the door, and the gate comes down. I gather the experience is repeated in the evening, though I’ve never headed there then.

The choices are few. Mozzarella. Anchovy (without cheese). Ham and Pepper (with cheese). Fugazza. Fugazza con queso. Fainá. That’s it. By the slice to eat there, or a whole pie, small or large, to go. For the pizza by “the slice”, they make them in huge, 60cm molds, and then cut pieces in more or less random shapes of more or less the same size and served up on a minuscule paper napkin. Is it worth it? No. Not really. It’s perfectly acceptable pizza, and even a decent fainá (chickpea and cheese “bread” that’s often used as a second dough topping to pizza here). And it’s among the better in San Telmo, but honestly, that’s a low bar. As I said, it’s an experience, and if you want to do something truly authentically Argentine for pizza, it’s worth a...

We had just walked all day and were so hungry, we came to San Telmo market with the intention of trying lots of little food. We walked past this little place with people lining out the door. There was a lovely lady serving, she was very nice, the wait was long and we nearly moved on but eventually got the fugazza con queso and it was honestly the best thing I ever had, so worth the wait and quite funny that the first thing we tried was thia unbelievable tasty and well regarded pizzeria! I hope this place continues, I will be visiting again some time...
