Accademia della Pizza, Italian pizzeria in Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Accademia della Pizza is a pizzeria on Avenida Santa Fe, in the Recoleta neighborhood of Buenos Aires, offering pizzas with a range of toppings from simple mozzarella to combinations with several cheeses. The place has seating for walk-in diners and also operates a delivery service.
The restaurant was opened with the goal of bringing traditional Italian pizza-making methods to the Buenos Aires food scene. Over time, the recipes were adjusted to match local tastes while keeping the original approach in place.
In Buenos Aires, pizza is often eaten with a layer of fainá, a thin chickpea flatbread placed on top of the slice. This local habit reflects how Italian food traditions were absorbed and transformed over generations in the city.
The pizzeria sits on a busy stretch of Avenida Santa Fe, which makes it easy to reach on foot or by public transport from many parts of the city. Arriving outside of peak lunch and dinner hours can help you find a table more easily.
Pizzas here are served in a size meant to be shared between two people, which is a common way to eat pizza in Buenos Aires. This tradition of large shared portions traces back to the early Italian immigrant-run pizzerias that shaped the city's pizza culture.
