Güerrin

Güerrn is a downtown pizza institution that hasn't switched off its oven since it first opened in 1932. The pizzeria is divided into three sections: a front portion with standing room only for eating pizza by the slice; a sit-down area for enjoying the complete pie; and a back section with a secret room past the neon sign that reads "on fire." Many Porteos believe that Argentine-style pizza is the best in the world and will fight to the death to defend it. Pizza is a source of national pride and plays a major role in everyday life for the locals, notably at legendary pizzerias like Güerrn.

Even if you don't care for Argentine pizza, it's still interesting to examine one of the origins of the country's fascination. The thick crust, which is reminiscent of Chicago deep dish, is unlike anything else on the earth. The majority of the slices are sauce-free and recognized for their generous amounts of cheese. Try tastes like Fugazzeta, which is topped with cheese, onions, and a thin coating of ham, or Napolitana (short for "napo"), which is made with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and chopped garlic. A piece of fainá, a chickpea cake, is commonly purchased and placed on top of each slice.

Don't be alarmed by the long line out the door; it goes quickly. After you've paid, take your ticket and give it to the pizzero, who has most likely been working there for over 30 years. When you need a fast slice or two, you can always count on Güerrn. Its great location in the heart of the Corrientes theater area attracts a lot of post-show visitors, as well as daily travel from adjacent office employees.
