Good option to get fugazetta in Buenos Aires. The restaurant was super packed 2:30 on a Sunday but we were able to be seated in 5 minutes on the second floor. It's a bustling space with a lively atmosphere and service was attentive. Fugazetta is a double crusted pizza with onion baked on top--it's rich and on the heavier side, but especially delicious for the first slice!!

3.5/5 stars Came here for dinner around 7:30pm, and there was no wait. We ordered the chica seafood pizza and the chica vegana berenjena pizza (aubergine, nuts, basil, and tomato sauce). The chica pizzas came as 4 large slices. The dough was thick, so the slices were surprisingly filling. The seafood pizza was topped with shrimp, calamari, and mussels. I thought there would be octopus, but I didn't notice it. The seafood was a little on the hard side, particularly the calamari. I enjoyed the large amount of cheese on pizza, but it could have had more tomato sauce or more flavor. The seafood pizza was pretty pricy (45900 pesos), but it was fun to try. I tried some of the aubergine pizza, and it was solid, although a little on the salty side. The price of this one was more reasonable at 19100 pesos. Our waiter was nice and came quickly when we waved him down. He gave us the English menu and extra napkins when we asked. Towards the end of the meal, the restaurant got busy, so it took a little while to get the check. Menu says they don't accept credit card, but it seems like they do now since we paid with credit card. Overall, the meal was filling, and it was fun to try Argentinian pizza. My main complaints would be that the dough was too thick for my liking, and the seafood pizza was overpriced.

Lives up to the hype and how! Guerrin has been in business a long long time and still thriving for very good reason. They are always busy as hell and the lines look daunting but don't let it deter you. They move fast, thanks to efficient staffing, all while maintaining high standards of food and service. The language barrier is a bit of a struggle for someone who isn't linguistically skilled like me, but they do their best to help you put in the order. Which is so appreciated! Loved the fugazetta with jamon and cheese, mozzarella, napolitana and especial. Argentinian pizzas, for all ye North Americans out there, are reminiscent of a Chicago deep dish and Detroit style pizza. They start with a nice thick base and go mad heavy on the cheese. They sell by the slice if you wish to try a bit of everything. If you are in BA, take a break from the steaks and try Guerrin. You will not regret it.

When in Buenos Aires this is the pizza place that you must go to upon arriving. It has been open since 1930s I believe and represents the rich history of the city. The Pizza is spectacular best I've had in my trips to Argentina. The service is excellent as well very friendly staff, we got seated very quickly. Ambiance is very lively and lots of moving parts, you can see the kitchen and ovens at work upon arriving....its majestic.

If you think you know everything about pizzas, visit Güerrín to be surprised about a pizza style you might have not tried before. Well seasoned cast iron pans make delicious "Argentinian" style pizzas (and Roman too!). Airy dough, super tasty and gooey cheese, tasty tomato sauce and a long list of toppings to choose from; however, the star of the place is the "Fugazzetta", a white pizza with lots of mozzarella and onions that it's too good to be true. I didn't try the empanadas and desserts, which are apparently famous too. The place is big, busy, noisy, clean and with a lot of character. I wish I could visit this place again.

I completely see why this is the busiest restaurant I have seen in Buenos Aires. It's in the perfect location and lit up like the street it's on. There's ample seating, and I don't know how the servers find you to know you need to be served, but they have it down. Service was fairly quick and kind. I tried half pepperoni, half quatro cheese. The pizza is fresh as are the cheeses and pepperoni. Some of the best flavor. The pizza came out hot and full of cheese. It's a thicker crust but not overwhelming. I would definitely return to try more options on the list, which is quite extensive. The dessert case is very enticing as well, if you save room.

The famous pizza place!! Most definitely worth the hype. First thing, it will looked packed as if you can't get a table but I can assure the restaurant is deep with lots of tables in the back so don't fret! We stopped in for a pizza and some beer to share for a late lunch. Beer was great and the pizza was even better. We got the guerrin special and it's phenomenal. Argentine pizza is the best! Staff is super nice and the vibes are excellent in there with all of its old charm!! Absolutely worth a stop in

This is the oldest pizzeria in Argentina from 1932 & was highly recommended as having the best pizza in the world. We found it in the busy theater district. There was standing room and slices served in the front, and in the back tables with waitress service. There were two floors and a patio for dining. There were family & presidential dining rooms. We ordered a small pizza with 4 slices; half pepperoni & half Guerrin special and a big water with a bucket of ice. It was very busy here at lunchtime. Our small pie came out about :10 later. It was tasty & the cheese & toppings were over flowing. I was happy it wasn't salty nor greasy.
