  "account": "Buenos Aires is a city rich in Italian heritage, making its pizza scene diverse and unique. While chains like Kentucky and Almacén de Pizza offer their own twists on the classic, it's the individual pizzerias that truly showcase the variety. You'll find thick, quiche-like pizzas de molde, onion-heavy fugazzetta, and airy, sourdough pizzas. For a traditional experience, visit parrillas, which are grills offering thin-crust delicacies.\n\nHere are some of the author's top picks:\n\n1. Pizzería Las Cuartetas: Established in 1932, this spot is renowned for its thick, cheesy pies and empanadas. Try to visit during their extended hours.\n\n2. Banchero: Dating back to 1934, Banchero has several locations throughout the city. Don't miss their fugazetta, a type of pizza from the pan.\n\n3. El Cuartito: Built in 1934, this classic pizzeria features football banners and photos of players. Their fugazzetta is a must-try.\n\n4. El Cuartito Pizzería Los Campeones: A great spot to enjoy dinner after a Boca Juniors match. Their media masa and a la piedra styles are highly recommended.\n\n5. La Mezzetta: This longtime favorite since 1939 is famous for its fugazzetta and is located near six avenues, making it easy to find.\n\n6. Pirilo: Run by the Vezzari family for 94 years, this pizzeria recreates the traditional friggitoria, or street food, experience. It's a small, no-frills establishment where you eat standing up.\n\n7. Pirilo Guerrín: Another classic downtown spot, Pirilo Guerrín was a favorite after matinee or evening shows. It's now quite touristy, so plan accordingly.\n\n8. La Sorrellina: A contemporary spot opened in 2019 by the Santoro sisters, known for their delicate Neapolitan-style pizzas and a small wine list. They also offer a cozy salon for dining.\n\n9. Roma Bar: First established in 1927, this charming Abasto bar reopened in 2020 and is known for its sourdough pizza and vermouth.\n\n10. Roma Bar Kalis: Ranked among the world's best pizzas by Time Out, this NY-style pizza joint offers only five toppings and is always packed.\n\n11. Atte: Serving ultra-thin Neapolitan-style pizza in a wood-fired oven, Atte's girgolas and portobello pizza with pistachio pesto are popular choices.\n\n12. Gordo Chanta: This charming Villa Crespo spot is perfect for a casual night out with small pies and wine.\n\n13. Togni's Pizza: For NY-style pizza, Togni's in Belgrano is a great choice. Try a large slice or share a whole pie.",
