El Globito, Pizzeria in Parque Patricios, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
El Globito is a pizzeria in the Parque Patricios neighborhood of Buenos Aires, offering pizza baked in a wood-fired oven as well as in pans. Empanadas and sandwiches are also on the menu, served in a simple, neighborhood-style space.

In Argentine pizzerias, it is common to eat pizza topped with fainá, a thin flatbread made from chickpea flour that is placed directly on the slice. This habit is deeply rooted in Buenos Aires eating culture and easy to spot at the counter here.
The restaurant is open daily from early morning until after midnight, which makes it a good option for both an early bite and a late meal. Cash is the standard way to pay, and takeout orders are available for those in a hurry.
One of the house pizzas combines provolone cheese with chorizo, a recipe put together by the founders of the place. This pairing of two ingredients that are usually served separately has become one of the returning favorites among regulars.
