La Argentina Pizzería - Barrio Italia — Restaurant in Providencia

Every time I pass by this restaurant it's full of people and there are always people waiting for a table. This made me think it was something I needed to try. I was disappointed from the moment I asked for a table. Talking to the staff was a terrible experience (with the exception of one person). They wouldn't look at me when talking and didn't seem interested in taking care of us. Once we got a table, the waitress had an awful attitude and it was obvious she didn't want to be there. The order we placed was correct, but the pizza was very underwhelming. It was almost like having bread rather than a pizza crust. The toppings were tasty. In conclusion, I can't recommend this place nor will I...

La Argentina's claim to fame are their pizzas. What makes them stand out in particular is the thick spongy base as opposed to the thin, hard bases you can get in most other pizza restaurants.

And I have to say: the pizzas are delicious. If you're into this kind of pizza, the usual offerings will disappoint after this. Prices are average and you can order by the slice (which is good since the pizzas with the topping are thick).

There are some downsides: the place is popular so if you arrive at the wrong moment you might have to wait a considerable time and the menu is unnecessarily difficult to figure out. Lastly, there's always the temptation...

I wish this place was as good as it looks and I wanted to be. I went here with very high hopes of tasting a pizza like that of Buenos Aires but that wasn't the case. The restaurant is nice and the service is outstanding, they really strive to make you feel comfortable, sadly the pizza, which is what we would there for, is not that good. I ordered a half pineapple and ham and half onion and cheese. The flavor is just not there. The dough is not well done or crispy by any measure. I don't think this pizza is bad I just think is not like B.A. pizza at all....
