Banchero, Historic pizzeria in La Boca, Argentina.
Banchero is a pizzeria in La Boca, Buenos Aires, known for deep-dish pizzas topped generously with mozzarella and traditional Argentine dishes such as milanesa and empanadas. The restaurant operates from two locations and offers delivery from both its La Boca and Corrientes Avenue sites.
Founder Agustin Banchero arrived from Genoa in 1893 and opened the pizzeria in La Boca. His son Juan later developed the signature Fugazza Con Queso pizza, which remains a house classic.
The restaurant reflects the Italian influence that shaped Buenos Aires cuisine, especially in La Boca where Genoese immigrants built their community. You can see this heritage in how people eat and gather here, making it part of the neighborhood's daily social fabric.
The restaurant opens daily at noon and stays open until midnight, taking reservations for diners. You can eat in or arrange for food to be delivered to your location.
Banchero was among the earliest creators of the Fugazza pizza style, which combines cheese with Genoese techniques in an unexpected way. This creative variation has become deeply rooted in Buenos Aires food culture.
