Avenida Corrientes is Buenos Aires' theater district. During the day businessmen come for a slice and at night, theater goers come before or after a show. There are a lot of pizzerias on this avenue but Las Cuartetas is MY favorite. While sauce is scarce on all Argentine pizzas I do find that Las Cuartetas is more generous than most (and it's more flavorful). I love their muzza.

Las Cuartetas was founded in the 1930’s by a Basque and a Catalan.

The origin of the name is a bit of an urban legend.

Legend has it that one of the original guests that frequented the bar was the tango poet Alberto Vacarezza, who would sit and write his “cuartetas” (or “stanzas”).

Clients began to refer to the restaurant as the house of the “cuartetas” and the name stuck.

Order a glass of wine to go with your pizza. The quality is debatable and it always comes filled to the brim. Do this sparingly.

If going on a pizza crawl, stick to water. Pace yourself.
