When in Argentina, you have to try the pizza at least once! For us, it ended up being twice since our guide also recommended El Cuartito (separate review). Güerrín is massive. You can order by the slice in the front where there are standing tables, and there's a dining room in the back. However, we were led even farther down a hallway to yet another dining area, which was enormous. I'm glad we ended up there because the first dining room didn't have the AC on. We shared a small pizza half fugazzeta and half with sweet red peppers and green olives. I really enjoyed the green olives, much better than the typical sliced black olives back home. The fugazzeta, though, is loaded with layers upon layers of cheese... almost too much, but hey, when in Argentina, right? I could practically feel my arteries clogging and knew I'd need a cleanse when I got home! Overall, it was a good experience, but we preferred El Cuartito where the crust was crispier, and we liked that you could order slices even while seated.
We were with a Tour Guide all day today and needed a lunch break and she recommended this place. Apparently it is one of the most famous pizza places in all of Buenos Aires. We've had way too much pizza, but she said they have amazing homemade empanadas as well so we settled on those We were able to sample the beef, the chicken and the ham and cheese. All were very tasty and very filling and I probably won't be able to eat too many of these or I'm going to gain 100 pounds while I am here. The front of the restaurant was very full with tables that were very close and the air-conditioning that didn't work so well, but our Guide knew that if we followed the long hallway to the back, there would be a bigger dining room back here with more comfortable seats and a much quieter atmosphere. You're also able to watch the chefs work back here. So we had a nice experience, it was very busy, prices seem fair and we were quite full by the time we ate our empanadas. Definitely a place you have to stop in to at least once. Do know that the pizza is the thick Sicilian style almost so it's quite a meal! Our total bill for six empanadas and three beers was approximately $40
Despite my typical dietary awareness, the multiple mentions of the pizza and farina across multiple sites won me over! We came by during the overnight portion of our cruise. Cabify picked us up at the port and it was about a 20 min drive- plenty of traffic. There really does not seem to be many other reason to venture over to this street as a tourist- it was very crowded and low rent places- touristy or otherwise. We were quickly seated in the back dining room which has its own pizza oven, bar and it was a bit quieter than the front dining room. The latter seemed to be more for a slice or 2 and not to sit down and enjoy a full meal. Well, the bottles of beer are huge- not the typical USA long neck size. Local beer was refreshing. Our server spoke English and was very patient and attentive despite being busy. We ended up ordering a small pizza- half with anchovies for hubby. Seriously, the cheese was dripping off the edges as the servers delivered it to the neighboring tables. The farina socce (chick pea pancake) was very good and I have never tried it on my pizza before. Perhaps the trend started to keep the cheese on it! We skipped dessert- had to save room for dinner on the ship that night! Checked the box- probably wouldn't visit again. My cardiologist would not approve. :)
Right in the heart of the theater district, Guerrin has been on my radar for years. (However, the draw of steak is strong.) But I made the commitment to come here for a lunch. Everyone should visit. You may have to wait in line but it moves quickly. There is table service as well as standup counter space. I did the counter so I could watch the kitchen and empanada station. There are some great local pizzas available and their style is unique from anywhere else. The crust is thick and chewy with just the right amount of toppings. Local flavors are always worth the try and I had the house special, which is ham and cheese with red bell pepper. The bell pepper was marinaded and made the pizza. It was fun to come and with a group we may be back but I will also explore other pizzas around Buenos Aires
We had read a lot saying Guerrin was the best Argentine pizza. So it was a bit surprising when the food itself really didn't do it for us. I felt like I didn't quite understand it. It was pizza, but only by the loosest definition. I'm sure it was an amazing form of Argentine pizza, but in a vacuum I wouldn't say it was an amazing food experience. Very busy place as a whole, so I may be in the minority!
Had to try this pizza spot on our trip to Buenos Aires after hearing how popular it is. The place is busy typically with both seating and standing area for dining. We opted for the standing area and people filter in and out quickly. It does get a bit messy in this area though. The pizza itself is very thick and indulgent, not a New York or neopolitan kind. It looks overwhelmingly cheesy at first but is pretty tasty! Recommend trying at least once!
Five stars with an asterisk*. The pizza is excellent fresh light satisfying dough that doesn't overwhelm its toppings. We had the guerrin special and the bell peppers are the stars of this show. The calabrese despite it masquerading as a meat dish, the onions are more pronounced on this one. The wait for the pizza wasn't long and service was great. The asterisks* is for the cost - it's pricey for pizza.
While walking through BA's Broadway area, I found one of BA's famous pizzerias, Guerrin. It was in the same spot when it first opened and served wood fired thick crust pizza. There was sit down tables outside and in but most of the customers were eating while standing. All table types included condiments such as hot sauce (since the pizzas weren't served with a sauce) and paper as napkins. Forks and knives were by the serving area as well as the bins to return used plates, cups, etc. Pizza could be ordered by the slice of whole. I got one each of the fugazza and mozzarella slices which was also topped with faina (chickpea bread) that I ordered afterwards (per recommendation of a local behind me who paid for it - very nice guy). None of the pizza came with sauces as was the style here. Fugazza was covered with lots of thinly sliced white onions that had a good onion flavor. Mozzarella pizza was just oozing cheese. I agreed that the pizza tasted better with the faina but it made for a heavier meal (not only weight). Each piece was so filling that I could not finish both slices. Most people I saw ordered just one for themselves.
We came here late afternoon which was the way to go. The line was way too long earlier. The place was still packed but we didn't have to wait. The menus said cash only so I set out to find an atm but at the end we were able to pay with a cc after all. The pizza as good but it was a LOT of cheese. Glad I tried it but not sure if I would get it again. It was busy and lively. And the wine was really cheap and good so that was a plus!
Genuinely overrated. While the crust was fully baked, it is so thick that there is a wet, weird in between layer that is not pleasant to eat. We were surrounded by tables filled with locals, and not tourists, and we saw that they only ate the toppings. So did we. If you are going on a summer day, note that they will turn off the AC intermittently and rely on the ceiling fans. Loved the history, the energy, and the ambiance. But I cannot make myself to say I'd have ordered this pizza at home.
Guerrin is commonly mentioned as a must visit for Argentinian style pizza so my wife and I decided to give it a try. This spot is super touristy located in the heart of the city's tourist district with lines out the door for seating and to go. We decided to wait for a seat and waited for about 30 minutes for dinner. Once seated, we ordered the Fugazza con Muzzarella. This pizza had crisp crust, rich smoked crisp onions, and gooey cheese. Overall, a good quality pizza.
The place is huge! Multiple floors and they have both slice and pie service. The pizza is very good and if you love cheese, this is your place! The cheese literally drips off the edge of the pizza so mind your elbows if you are on an aisle. Also be prepared to wait. We got there a bit ahead of the normal dinner crowd and were seated straight away. When we left, the line went down the block! The pizza is great, the beer is cold and the service is spectacular. Go check them out.

Best pizza in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Our tour guide recommended this place that was an Italian pizza place. (big population if Italians live here). The pizza was unique and good. The decor was very festive. read more
My local guide escorted us to a back room and ordered a ham and cheese pizza then left. I don't speak a word of Spanish, but as a Chicago boy, I do speak pizza. We've been hearing for several days how great pizza is in Argentina. Ok prove it Well they do have really good pizza. We had the ham and cheese. The crust was perfect, cheese gooey and flavorful. And the beer was excellent. Not Chicago style by any stretch, but really good. read more
La pizza de este restaurant estuvo la mejor pizza de mi vida. yo se que es un lugar para turistas pero aca todo es muy rico. El restaurante es muy grande con una banda de mesas y pocos pisos. tuvimos una mesa al lado de la cocina y pudimos ver el proceso. elegimos una pizza con anchoas y una otra pizza con queso. Ambas estuvieron muy ricas! Queremos volver a comer aca. read more
This place is worth the hype! The square pizza has an amazing texture. Super fluffy but the prosciutto made it a bit too salty for my taste. It's one of their specialty doughs so you can't get half one flavor and half another. You can split flavors on the circular ones so it's a great way to try different toppings! read more
Hi everybody! Well how could I visit Buenos Aires and not visit Güerrín. I have to tell you that they really never do disappoint. Our group was suffering from a bad case of the hangries and Güerrín Pizza was the perfect prescription. On todays outing we opted for some Chicken and Beef empanadas to start and we finished it off with a Super Güerrín and Moderna "Grande" pizzas. Their grande pizzas have about eight slices each and two was the magic number for our group. All food items were awesome which was expected. Service was great as well; however, we did have to make a line to get in which is normal but we did not have to wait too long. You would think this place is a tourist trap but it's anything but, definitely well worth the wait guys. Highly recommend that you UBER or take a taxi to this location as parking is available but it will be a nightmare. This area of Buenos Aires is highly congested and if you are not familiar with the area it will be a problem, so just get a lift, chill and enjoy. You may want to plan to possibly combine your meal with a play or movie as Güerrín is located in the theatre district. Overall, I am very happy that we stopped by and I will definitely be coming back again. Treat yourself to an amazing pizza experience and check them out on your next trip to Buenos Aires. Wishing you a great time in Argentina! Be safe, Enjoy and Bon Appétit! read more
I thought I was walking into a tourist trap, but nope- this place is legit. It is huuuuuuuuuge!! We walked from room to room to a corridor and finally to a large hall where we were seated immediately. A few tips: 1. They do have English menus if you struggle with Spanish 2. Fugazetta seems to be the pizza to get 3. We got the onion and mozzarella. I don't think it was the right thing to order here. It has no tomato sauce. It was still delicious but still, I read reviews about how great the sauce is 4. This place is cash only so please make sure you have some This is the cheesiest pizza I have ever had. I highly recommend it. Also, for the soda I ordered the grapefruit soda. It was quite good. read more

We went here with high expectations. This is one of the most popular pizza restaurants in downtown. Arrived at 930pm and probably got the best seat in the house, right in the middle. It was very busy and didn't have a wait as we walked in a they had 1 clean table. But as a tourist it can be confusing. When you enter there is a line for pizza by the slice. It's not like the United States where they say please wait to be seated. We asked a person for a seat for 3 and they got us that table. Room was packed, loud, lots of high energy. People were happy. It was order in disorder. But not speaking Spanish became difficult. To get service was hard as the waiter was all over the place. We finally got the menus. Had to use google translate to figure out what certain toppings were as we don't eat meat. So had to be careful. We used the person next to us to help order too. But they messed up on the order and there were no olives on the pizza like we asked. We ended up with a tomato pizza. Crust was soft and the cheese tasted good. Not like typical mozzarella at home. For the pizza it could be worth trying. Food was a 4 and service low. Not a bad waiter but just not efficient enough to turn tables quickly. I paid by visa credit card. Overall as a tourist go early and as a vegetarian stick with the basics get a margarita pizza and you won't go wrong. read more

One of the best pizzas I have ever had. The crust was light and full of flavor. The tomato sauce was fantastic and full of garlic. I ordered the pizza with ham and mushrooms and they were very generous with the toppings. I ordered a small pizza and had some left to take with me. I sat at a table but you can also order at the counter and eat standing at a counter area. Or get it to go. You can get slices, a small pizza or a large one. My server was friendly and we understood one another even though my Spanish is far from fluent. Run over here. You will be so glad you did. read more

January 2024. Came on a Saturday night around 9:30 pm and Oh boy, that was not a good time. The line to get a table was a block and a half long. Yes: block and a half! We decided to order to go and while the line was short, it took us 15-20 minutes (best decision ever). We went for the Napolitana (cheese, tomatoes and garlic) and the house pizza (cheese, ham, roasted bell peppers and olives). The dough was extremely fresh and soft, the cheese high quality and the toppings weren't overwhelming the pizza itself. It was extremely crowded and I didn't use the bathrooms, but the place seemed clean- I heard it has 4 floors and outside patio and it was 100% capacity. People getting in and out pretty fast, lots of movement. Gotta give it to the cashier that was patient and answered all our questions. The prices are extremely affordable, we got 5 generous pizza slices for about $8,000 (about 8 dollars). I recommend you come here but early!!! read more
Incredible spot to get a slice of pizza. It's very different from what I'm used to. This is a thick slice of soft chewy dough smothered in a full block of cheese. And throw onions on top. Flavors melt together and the cheese pulls are endless. Service is super quick as they know what the people want and are prepared. Cash only which is unfortunate but this deters no one. The place also extends forever and you can walk a city block and still be smelling pizza. Awesome spot and well worth a visit. read more
This place lives up to the hype and they were very accommodating with a small baby. We were able to sit down and wolfed down about four delicious slices in minutes. There was a changing table for babies upstairs which we appreciated. read more

Argentina has one of the best pizzas in the world and when you go to Buenos Aires there are a handful of pizzerias that people pick as their go to place ( Let's be real, they are all amazing) but like Gino's vs Pat's for Philly Cheese Steak sandwiches in Philadelphia, you usually choose one. Well Guerrin is my go to place for pizza whenever I'm in Buenos Aires. Love love love this place. You used to have to wait a long time to be seated because it's always packed but they finally were able to buy a back part and expand, so last time I went, we didn't have to wait to long. If you like cheese on your pizza, then argentine pizza is right for you. No need to ask for extra cheese because it already comes with tons of cheese. If you like onions then Fugazzeta is a must try. Last time I was there they had Aperol Spritz which were large and delicious as well. Hope this helps and if you go, ENJOY!!! read more

This is a well-known / visitor recommended restaurant, so it is very popular. We went with a group of 9 a bit earlier than normal Argentinian dinner (7-7:30) and were able to get a table in the back seating area. Pizzas were tasty - on the recommendation of our guide, we ordered the favorite fugazetta (onions and CHEEEEEESE with a tiny bit of bread holding it together [left of ham]) and also tried a meat pie and a veg pie. We also tried the chickpea flour breads (sorry, don't remember the name, and can't find a menu online) which were really tasty. read more

Oh my, can't believe I am eating pizza in Buenos Aires, but everyone said we need to do this because there are 65% of the Argentinians have Italian decent! So of course we went to this place which has been open since 1932, the owner came to Buenos Aires in 1927 from Genoa! You can have sit down service or just counter service where you order and just stand and eat, this is the original area until they expanded to a bigger dining area, we did the sit down: We had three slices - you can order individual slices! The Napolitan - mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and garlic, had a great flavor and the crust was perfectly cooked. The Guerrin special - mozzarella cheese, ham, peppers and olives (be careful when you bite into the olives, it was not pitted) perfect saltyness and the crust was thick but delicious! Fuggazzetta - mozzarella cheese, ham and onions! I think this one had too much onions. Overall, I would give this a 4 star for food but a 3 star for service! We saw one couple sat down but waited at least 15 mins and still no one came, so they walked out! read more

AMAZING! best word to describe the food. Please as I write this, keep in mind that I am a New Yorker. To me, we have the BEST pizza in the world. I used to think that until I had Pizzería Güerrín. During a brief visit to Buenos Aires, our tour guide recommended trying Pizzería Güerrín. I was skeptical given my belief of New York pizza, but I was totally wrong. Myself and 4 other people visited on a Thursday evening for dinner. Upon arriving, it was packed - people standing on line, others eating there food standing up, then other people just waiting for their order. We opted to dine-in as there is upstairs dining, about 2 floors of dining. We were seated promptly and given menus. The menus features a variety of pizzas and empanada varieties. The pizzas are large enough to share as a group. We ordered one plain and one pepperoni pizza. I also ordered a side of beef empanadas (they offer baked and fried variety, 100 points!). Food arrived in a timely manner was soooo delicious. The pizza is thick with a fluffy crust, topped with a delicious tomato sauce and just the right amount of cheesiness. I felt like I was in pizza heaven. And, among all the empanadas I had in Buenos Aires, I think I had the best at Pizzería Güerrín. I ordered the fried variety and it was tasty, almost like a Puerto Rican Pastellitos. Really, really good! Service was great, attentive, and very kind. Everyone smiled and welcomed us warmly. However, many of them do not speak English, so be patient and use a translator or app if possible. Overall, I'd highly recommend visiting. Definitely worth a trip if you are an avid pizza eater. read more

When you enter, there are 2 lines. One to get a table and one to order at the counter. If you get a table, you need to order a whole pizza. If you go to the counter, you can get a slice. We went to the counter and bought 2 slices of pizza, empanada, Pepsi, and beer. The cheese pizza was my favorite. Very good. Great stop and lots of shopping near by. read more

Four stars by how full this place was, it must be that good. We waited ten minutes for a table and we finally got one. The menu was very extensive. I asked the waiter about anything gluten-free and there's absolutely nothing on the menu. Nothing. Nada. I was in a group of four, two in my party ordered the mozzarella, they loved it. My third friend had one with mozzarella and tomato. She said it was burnt, not worth the wait. I sat there watching my friends eat, the waiter who is also a "celíaco" said I could go to the corner shop and get a salad and have it at Guerrin. Nice! Lol. read more
How to describe this place?! From the moment we stepped in to when we left, there was sensory overload. Located on busy Avenida Corrientes, this restaurant is a beehive of activity as the tables are closely packed together, and the wait staff fly around at warp speed. The overall effect is a cross between a New York deli at lunchtime and Seattle's Pike Place fish market!! Despite the crowds, we were seated for lunch within just a few minutes. Our waiter appeared instantaneously and, between his limited English and our limited Spanish, we ordered a couple of beers and a mozzarella y cebolla (onion) pizza. The pizzas come as a slice, a 'chica' size, and a 'grande' size. Given it is a thick crust pizza, we shared the chica (4 slices) which left us happily stuffed. There are other items on the menu but the pizza is the main attraction. And it is worth a visit just to see why many porteños consider this to be the best pizza joint in town! read more

Argentina style pizza! Very popular in the busy area of Buenos Aires. They don't' really know English, at least at the register to get a quick slice, which is understandable, so know what you want before you go to the register. My boyfriend and I just shared a very cheesy slice and a carne empanada. Both good. Not out of this world pizza but in trying something different, it's a must! We saw both tourists and locals eating here so it felt like a great choice. We also saw a lot of locals getting, I believe, Faina which is like a chickpea slice and added on top of their pizza, eating it together. We didn't try it but looked interesting. This pizza place is actually quite big with standing room in the front and seating with wait staff in the back. They only take debit card and cash. No credit cards. read more

Easily one of the best pizzas I've ever tried. During my visit to Buenos Aires in 2019, I tried all the iconic pizza spots (recommended by locals), but this one definitely topped the rest. Offering both formal and informal dinning and right at the center of the city (located in Avenida Corrientes and steps away from El Obelisco), this is a great spot to go with friends and family or even for a quick bite alone! As soon as I step foot again in Buenos Aires, I'll be returning here! Fácilmente entre las mejores pizzas que he probado en mi vida. Durante mi tiempo en Buenos Aires en el 2019 probé todas las pizzerías icónicas y conocidas como las mejores (recomendadas por personas locales), pero esta fue definitivamente mi preferida. El local, justo en Avenida Corrientes y a pasos del Obelisco, aún mantiene su diseño de pizzería antigua con mesas para sentarse y también opción para comer parado si desea un almuerzo rápido. En cuanto vuelva a Buenos Aires, volveré! read more
