Pizzería Güerrín

The temple of porteño pizza, slinging thick muzzarella and fugazzeta on Avenida Corrientes since 1932. Eat a cheap slice standing at the marble counter like a local, or sit upstairs for the full menu. Open daily until around 2 am. Expect lines at peak — it's famous with tourists and locals alike, and both are right.

Key facts

Frequently asked questions

How cheap is a slice at Güerrín?

A counter slice of muzzarella remains one of the best cheap eats in central Buenos Aires — a filling standing lunch costs pocket change by international standards. Exact peso prices shift constantly with inflation, so just check the board at the register.

How do I get to Güerrín?

Avenida Corrientes 1368 — one block from Uruguay station on Subte line B. If you're seeing anything in the theater district or at the Obelisco, you're already within walking distance.

Is Güerrín touristy now?

It's on every guidebook list, so yes, you'll hear plenty of English — but the counter is still packed with porteños grabbing slices, especially late. The tourist presence hasn't changed the pizza or the prices much.

What are Güerrín's hours?

Open every day, roughly 10 am to 2 am. It's one of the best late-night eats in the theater district — the post-show rush around 11 pm is a scene worth witnessing.

What should I order at Pizzería Güerrín?

Muzzarella or fugazzeta by the slice, with a slice of fainá on top and a moscato if you're doing it right. At a table, the fugazzeta rellena (stuffed) is the showstopper — one slice is nearly a meal.

Güerrín or El Cuartito — which pizza is better?

The eternal Buenos Aires debate. Güerrín is bigger, more chaotic, and open later with the counter scene; El Cuartito has the cozier room and memorabilia walls. The pizza style is nearly identical — thick, cheesy media masa — so pick by location and mood, or settle it yourself with both.

How does ordering work at Güerrín?

Two systems: pay at the front register for slices and eat standing at the counter (fastest and cheapest), or wait for a table with menu service, including the upstairs dining room. The standing counter is the classic Corrientes experience.

Does Güerrín have more than pizza?

Yes — empanadas, fainá, desserts like flan, and a long list of pizza varieties (dozens of toppings) at the tables. But nobody's here for salad; the muzzarella-fainá-moscato trio is the institution.
