Eating at Pizzería Güerrín. The BEST and Most Famous Pizza in Buenos Aires

I eat at and review Pizzeria Guerrin in Buenos Aires of Argentina. The historic restaurant is incredibly famous and popular and serves some of the best Argentinian style pizza in the city. I ate the Especial Guerrin pizza and I later went back and tried some slices.

[@pizzareviewsonthego]

Looked a bit like a round Sicilian. It looked fantastic. Lots of Italians immigrated to Argentina and so it's not surprising that there are so many pizzerias there.

[@Jamesnu]

Yeah, it definitely had some similarities to a Sicilian. I really liked it! Absolutely! There's a strong Italian influence that can be felt all over Argentina.

[@maximipe]

Cast? Pizza is iconic to Buenos Aires (aka pizza porteña) but Neapolitan style is getting a rebirth in the last few years. Highly recommend Bar Roma and Pony Pizza for next time!

[@Jamesnu]

@@maximipe Thanks for the recommendations! I really enjoy Neapolitan style too.

[@philipcha]

@@Jamesnu 60% of the population has italian ancestry. I, being asian born in ARgentina, feel closer to italians than asians. When I visited Italy I felt like home with a different dialect and scenery.

[@Jamesnu]

@@philipcha Indeed! I definitely saw the Italian influence in Buenos Aires during my trip.

[@NYCfrankie]

Argentina is basically a bunch of Italians speaking Spanish

[@Jamesnu]

There's definitely a lot of Italian influences there.

[@antoniogutierrezjr7471]

Mostly made up of Spaniards and Italian small minority of mestizo and natives and African but they ate in the ghetto like there famous soccer player Diego Maradona

[@ignaciokoffler4052]

New york city is basically a bunch of italians speaking english

In Buenos Aires a lot the italian inmigrant but in other place in Argentina the most are Spanish..

I love this content!!! 🥰 I'm an italian contemporary artist 🔶 I've just posted a Video about some fantastic places in Buenos Aires 🟥

Thank you! I just checked your video out. That's some beautiful footage!

[@MsRiven1]

Going to Argentina this October, thanks for the idea Andrew!

[@Jamesnu]

Nice! I hope you enjoy it!

[@LeMagnifiqueDoubleAgent-cj4zo]

You can skip this place and go to La Mezzetta. Their fugazzetta and empanadas are much better.

[@Leo-pt9ei]

TRY LAS CUARTITO its another great pizzeria in buenos aires and make sure to get the fugazzetta. Also, as a bev, make sure u also get a moscato. Its a sweet wine.

[@Jamesnu]

That's a restaurant I was actually planning to go to, but just ran out of time. Thanks for the suggestions. Hopefully, I'll get back to Buenos Aires someday and I'll give that place a try.

[@raquelanaliagiubergia4867]

Y las Cuartetas.

[@Rezan01]

Guerrin is not the best, but it is in the top 5. There are other pizzerias that are very close to it. Yes, it is possibly the most famous and the most elegant in a certain way because the pizza dough for which Guerrin is known is the thinnest. In particular I prefer "las Cuartetas"

[@Jamesnu]

When I was researching pizza in Buenos Aires I saw Las Cuartetas come up. I wish I had the chance to try it!

[@Rezan01]

@@Jamesnu You yould come again :D Also, check the guys named "locos el Asado" and do a collab

[@Jamesnu]

@@Rezan01 I just checked out their channel. Yeah, that would be a good collab.

[@martindamiani3758]

Coincido pero para mí LA MESETA

[@dsfshshfhgsghs]

Yo también prefiero a Las Cuartetas, pero lejos, bien lejos. Los de Güerrin han hecho un buen trabajo de marketing entre los extranjeros (le sacaron el puesto a El Cuartito).

[@michaeljay3629]

I cannot tell you how much I love your videos. Perfect.

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you so much! That really makes me happy to hear!

[@s_przybylowicz]

What fun toppings - glad you enjoyed your Argentinian pizza experience!

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you! Yeah, the toppings were really unique for me.

It was great pizza!

Ir a Argentina y no comer carne es un pecado

[@Jamesnu]

Yeah, it's difficult to not eat meat in Argentina.

[@nefergold]

Después de comer pizza en BA ya nada es igual, es le mejor del mundo, mejor que en Italia.

[@Jamesnu]

Buenos Aires definitely has great pizza!

[@gustavodiniz6156]

@@Jamesnu ¡ Qué !

[@LeMagnifiqueDoubleAgent-cj4zo]

The fugazzetta is great, but sorry, after doing a three-month review of pizzerias in Roma, I can definitely confirm that Italia has better pizza.

[@coachab100]

I have to try this pizza. I have never found good pizza in BA! Their crust is too bready! Did you try Don Julio when you were there! I did and it was fantastic!

[@Jamesnu]

I tried going to Don Julio a couple of times, but the wait was so long and I had other things to do. I kind of regret that one though. I bet it would've been worth it. Yeah, that was good pizza! It's definitely worth trying. It's such an iconic restaurant.

[@LeMagnifiqueDoubleAgent-cj4zo]

Güerrín isn’t that good so skip it and go to La Mezzetta for fugazzetta. If you want traditional pizza Napolitana, there are a few good places in Palermo Hollywood

[@2Wheels_NYC]

Excellent! Honestly, I chill my chianti, especially this time of year. Perfect with pizza. I do love my anchovies, so I'd enjoy that. When you're home, check out La Cabaña in Jackson Heights... Argentnian steakhouse with a whole pizza section on their menu! And, they have the Fugazetta! Thanks as always for another great review!

[@Jamesnu]

Thanks always for watching and thanks for the recommendation! That fugazetta I had was one of the best things I ate on my trip, so I definitely have got to check that place out sometime!

[@LeMagnifiqueDoubleAgent-cj4zo]

In Argentina and Italy you typically drink beer with pizza though

[@analezcano2018]

La pizza es una de la comidas preferida por los argentinos, ademas de las empanadas, asado y variedad de pastas, como buenos descendientes de italianos en nuestras casas también hacemos pizzas muy ricas!

[@Jamesnu]

Absolutely! I really enjoyed all of the pizza I had in Argentina! The food in Buenos Aires was amazing!

[@Lucy00111]

I like how you point out the negatives about a dish but just in a feedback sort of manner. Really love hearing people's honest opinions!

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you! Yeah, I'm always honest, but I try to point out the negatives in a nice way.

[@pablovandernayaractor5702]

I ❤ Guerrin and I missing a lot couse I'm living in Barcelona.

[@Jamesnu]

They serve great pizza indeed!

[@martingaray185]

As a porteño, I recommend you "Los Inmortales" in Avenida Corrientes, it is a pizzeria close to Guerrin but less touristy and is not as crowded. It was founded also back in the thirties and is absolutely delicious. If you go, try a "napolitana" (it is similar to a margherita pizza) or provolone (it is with an special argentinian very salty chesse), and try them with "faina" (an Italian sort of pancake made of chickpea flour that you put it on top of the pizza). You will thank me!! I hope you are having a good time in Buenos Aires!!

[@Jamesnu]

Thank you for the recommendations! I really appreciate it! Unfortunately I'm already back in NYC from my trip. I definitely hope to return to Argentina someday and I'll remember Los Immortales. I did try pizza with faina at one point in my trip and really enjoyed it! Buenos Aires really has a lot of amazing pizza!

[@martingaray185]

@@Jamesnu I hope that you can come back soon!!!! All the best!!

[@Jamesnu]

@martingaray185 Thank you! I hope so too!

[@ignaciocambero9314]

i bet you didn't know that it exist the filled faina ( faina rellena) that is faina with ham and cheese inside, there are few places that make it, but is great, if you can find one, you will love that, also try some dulce de leche ice cream@@Jamesnu

here there are places where if the pizza arent big or crusty, or cheesy, they had a lot of variety, like the ''american'' piza that has chicken strips, cheddar, bacon and muzzarela, you may like that, also, as an argentinian, i had to tell you, if you LOVE cheese, try some filled pastas like ravioles, or sorrentinos, they are great
