Pizzería Güerrín: The Legendary Pizza Spot in Buenos Aires

If you’re visiting Buenos Aires and love authentic, cheesy pizza, Pizzería Güerrín is a must. This legendary spot on Avenida Corrientes has been serving Argentina’s finest “pizza al molde” since 1932 — more than 90 years of tradition, thick crust, and generous mozzarella.

More than just a meal — visiting Güerrín is a genuine Buenos Aires cultural experience. Here’s everything you need to know before you go.

🏛️ A historic icon on Avenida Corrientes

Pizzería Güerrín was founded in 1932 by Italian immigrants, becoming a beloved institution for locals and tourists alike. Its location is legendary — Avenida Corrientes, known as “the street that never sleeps”, is famous for its theaters, bookstores, and classic cafés.

For decades, portenos have grabbed a slice before or after a theater show — a true Buenos Aires ritual. More than 90 years later, Güerrín still serves thousands of pizzas daily.
