Pizzería porteña · Est. 2021

Pizza the way Buenos Aires eats it. In Hackney.

In Buenos Aires nobody asks for a margherita. They ask for a muzza, a fugazzeta and two slices of fainá, standing at the counter, before the cinema.

That is the pizzeria we missed, so we built one on Pellerin Street.

The house pizza

Fugazzeta rellena

Two layers of dough with a seam of melted cheese between them, then a lid of slow-cooked onions and oregano baked until the edges blacken.

It is the pizza our name comes from and the one that sells out first on a Friday. A grande feeds three hungry people or four polite ones. Ask for it con jamón if you want it the way the old Almagro pizzerias served it.

How to order like a porteño

Four rules, roughly in this order

  1. Start with empanadas

    Order them by the piece while you decide. Carne cortada a cuchillo is the one to beat.

  2. One pizza with cheese, one without

    A muzzarella or fugazzeta for the table, plus a fugazza if anyone is avoiding dairy.

  3. Put fainá on top

    A slice of chickpea fainá laid on a slice of pizza is called a caballo, on horseback. It is not optional.

  4. Finish with dulce de leche

    In a flan, in a pancake or between two biscuits. Our coffee is strong enough to cope.

Tables & walk-ins

Half the room is always kept for walk-ins

We take bookings for up to six people, and keep the counter and the terrace for anyone who turns up hungry. Groups of seven or more can sit at the long table or take over our back room, El Fondo.

At home

Delivered by our own riders

Our pizza travels in a paper-lined tray inside the box, carried across Hackney, Dalston, Clapton and Stoke Newington on electric cargo bikes. Orders are taken by phone.
