We got overcharged at this place by one extra slice of pizza. My husband tried to say something but the guy kept saying it was right. He spoke no English so we just said forget it. It was 11 pesos which is probably $2-3. It's the principle though and that's not right!

So glad to find a "local" pizza place on our trip to BA. The building is a sports/special events fans dream, framed memorabilia everywhere. The empanadas and pizza are so so so good. Highly recommend the onion pizza, atomic pizza, and caprese empanadas. If I lived in BA I would absolutely eat here all the time. Quick service and great... More

Even a lot of local people eat there, I found it ok but nothing more. The posters and pictures are kind of typical but, unfortunately, nothing more. Service was awful. Maybe because we speak spanish.

(I love that) and you get a huge pizza. we shared one of the big ones shared it by four and weren't left hungry. however, a big pizza mozarella costs 100 Pesos (28th of april 2013). Which,... More

This is definitely not a tourist place and that's one of the reasons I like it. In a city full of good pizza, it's my favorite.

We spoke to a few locals and they all said that El Cuartito is the place to go for pizza in Buenos Aires. Being from New York, we were looking forward to trying a local pizza, and must say that while different, the pizza at El Cuartito was pretty delicious. Others have spoken about the pizza itself so I won't... More

The allure of this place is not necessarily so much the food but the ambience. The pizza is standard pizza for Argentina - thick, loads of cheese, and the options for toppings are also very standard. Once nice thing is that they use pitted olives rather than the unpitted kind. The place is teaming with people, and there is a... More

That's place for those that like to feel local. Plenty of Argentinians, of course you can find tourist too :). I'm a business man that travel most of the time alone and don't like to bother locals to accompany for dinner or lunch. It's a great place for lonly travels like me, couples, family or groups. That's pizza and empanadas.... More

Theres good Pizza everywhere in Argentina.. Yet this place is a standout!! If theres a wait, its worth it. Pizza is awesome! Service is prompt and efficient. The place has a really good laid back, 'home made' feel to it, and because this is where the locals eat, it is not overpriced and overhyped like many other restaurants in Bs... More
