Why Corrientes Avenue Is the Soul of Buenos Aires
While many visitors come to Buenos Aires for tango, fútbol, or street art in Palermo, locals know the real magic happens on Corrientes Avenue. This legendary boulevard is the beating heart of the city’s nightlife, theater, and — of course — pizza. It's where the story of Buenos Aires comes alive, from neon-lit bookstores to century-old pizzerias.
Corrientes — la calle que nunca duerme — has long been immortalized in Argentine films, music, and radio. For artists and performers, having their name in lights here is like making it to Broadway.
In the 1950s and 60s, Corrientes pulsed with theatergoers, families, and late-night diners grabbing slices of pizza porteña. Watching a play, then eating pizza on Corrientes, wasn’t just a tradition — it became part of the city’s rhythm.
Join our Buenos Aires Pizza Tour and taste the legacy of this iconic street. Discover its most beloved traditional pizzas, hear the stories behind the slices, and walk through a cultural corridor that helped define the city’s identity.

Discover Buenos Aires' Most Historic Pizzerias on Avenida Corrientes
Join our Buenos Aires Pizza Tour for a guided culinary journey through Argentina's pizza capital. We'll taste iconic pizza porteña at four legendary pizzerias, each with its own chapter in the city's food history.
1
Palacio de la Pizza (1935) — Our first stop introduces you to pizza porteña with their signature spinach and béchamel pizza. This "white pizza" exemplifies the hearty, cheese-forward style that defines Buenos Aires pizza culture, developed for the appetites of workers and immigrants who built the city.
2
Las Cuartetas (1932) — Named after four-line tango verses, this pizzeria was frequented by playwright Alberto Vacarezza, who scribbled lyrics on napkins between bites. We'll try their classic mozzarella with fainá — pizza topped with a chickpea pancake, a tradition brought by Ligurian immigrants and popularized by dockworkers in La Boca.
3
Banchero (1967) — The spiritual home of fugazzetta, Argentina's greatest pizza contribution to the world. This cheese-and-onion masterpiece with no tomato sauce was born when Neapolitan immigrants adapted their recipes to local ingredients. Fugazzetta = fugazza (onion bread) + mozzarella — a purely local invention.
4
Los Inmortales (1952) — Originally a struggling café until they discovered pizza. The name honors the immortal actors, musicians, and tango singers of Corrientes, commemorated in murals throughout the restaurant. We'll sample their Pizza a la Piedra — thinner and crispier than typical porteño style.
The tour concludes at Cadore, ranked among the world's top gelaterias, opened by the Olivotti family from the Italian town of Cadore near Venice.
