La Plata is the planned capital of Buenos Aires province, a grid of diagonals an hour from Buenos Aires. Its pizza follows the Buenos Aires tradition: the tall Argentine al molde, so thick and soft that locals nickname the crust a bizcochuelo, a sponge cake.
The oldest counters have fed students and families for generations, muzzarella by the fistful over a bready base.
Alongside them a younger scene works masa madre and wood-fired dough, longer ferments and crisper bases from a newer set of kitchens.
Most spots sit inside the casco urbano, the central grid, easy to walk between along the diagonals. A slice of muzzarella with fainá is the standard order.
