We walked a ridiculous distance, what felt like half way across the city, to this joint on a guidebook recommendation. These so called 'guide' books have steered us wrong before, so I was a bit hesitant. The desire for cheese coupled with the fact we
had to try the famous fugazetta pie won out though so we took to the streets and were well rewarded for our journey.
Welcome to El Cuartito - one of the cutest pizzaria's I've ever seen.
And proud too, of their heritage, Argentina's sports stars and their pies.
Holy ham and cheese!
This thing was an oozing doozie, stuffed with mozzerella and queso crema, then topped with ham, covered in parmesean and sweet onions then baked/broiled to a toasty perfection.
It was so good that I carried our leftovers around in my purse for hours as we toured the city, flat out refusing to leave 2 slices on the table. It was a slightly mishapen but delicious brunch the next day.
That pie is gorgeous! What was the crust like?
ReplyDeleteHey Barbie! Crust was fairly thin, as there were 2 layers containing the cheese/lava. Not too done or crispy though. Yuuum!
