Las Cuartetas, Traditional pizzeria in San Nicolás, Argentina.
Las Cuartetas is a traditional pizzeria occupying a two-story building on Corrientes Avenue, where an open kitchen allows diners to watch chefs prepare thick-crust pizzas in large metal pans. The restaurant offers more than 30 pizza varieties made using this distinctive cooking method.
The establishment was founded in 1932 by Basque Luis Urcola and Catalan José Espinach. By 1957, it became employee-owned, a structure that has persisted for decades.
The name comes from four-line poetry stanzas, referencing poets who visited in the 1930s and wrote verses on paper napkins. This literary connection remains part of what makes the place feel rooted in Buenos Aires culture.
The restaurant offers both table service and takeaway options to suit different needs. The open kitchen layout allows visitors to watch pizza preparation up close and witness the cooking process directly.
The signature Salvatore pizza combines mozzarella with anchovies and fugazza, created specifically for a regular customer whose name it bears. This personal touch reflects how the restaurant remains connected to individual patrons over time.
