Very cool atmosphere. Had the cheese fugazetta - so glad they had cheese only as I wanted to try one. Guerrin only had ham & cheese by the slice. We preferred both the dough and the cheese at El Cuartito. Also this pizza was fresh out the oven whereas Guerrin was reheated.

The fuggazzetta really is all it’s cracked up to be - we shared a 4 portion between two people and it was plenty. I do wish we’d got the option with jamon though - the digital menu is missing item #17. It’s not super cheap, but it’s worth it. We arrived on a Friday at about 12:40pm, just after opening, and just about had the pic of the tables (good considering we had our 40L backpacks). By the time we left it was almost packed!

One of the best! No doubt This place is old school, do not expect the over the top service, because this place was meant to be a quick stop service for a busy city. Truly amazing to still have it without changing the fella

I’m gonna start from the place, the atmosphere is really warm and full of historic clubs emblem and old pictures that create good vibes. Now the bad part. The dough of the pizza was not cooked properly at all. Very likely because of the exceeding of cheese which was covering all the flavors. Cherry in cake the onion. Completely burned. How can you serve something like this? It’s bad for the health as well. Not recommended.

Overall, it was a good experience. I visited on a Sunday around 5:00–5:30 pm and the place was quite calm. The dough is not too thick; I think they intentionally bake it a bit more so that the medium-thick base becomes slightly firm. The toppings were well balanced. In general, it’s a nice alternative. The service could be improved if the staff moved a bit faster. Also, the restrooms need serious attention—when I was there, they were in an extremely poor condition. This is the only major criticism I can make.
