Güerrín is an absolute institution in BA's theater district, and the shop is surprisingly huge…read more Skip the comfortable tables (where you have to buy a whole pie anyway) and stick to the standing counters. It's the best way to order by the slice, soak in that classic pizzeria energy, and mingle with the crowd.
We stood at the counter and tried the Mozzarella and the Fugazzeta. As a New Yorker who swears by thin crust, this thick, airy, Sicilian-style like pizza is a totally different beast, but I definitely understand the appeal. The Fugazzeta was a completely new experience for me. It's essentially a heavy base of dough and infused cheese buried under a massive layer of onions. It's rich and delicious, but the classic Mozzarella slice ended up being my favorite, perfectly balancing salty cheese with a slightly sweet tomato sauce. Come hungry because this pizza is no joke; it is very heavy, and two slices will easily fill you up. Overall, it's a solid spot worth visiting to experience a local staple, but don't expect a life-changing slice.
