The Best Pizzerias in Mar del Plata
Cheapest Pizzerias in Mar del Plata
Mar del Plata, the beach city Argentines call La Feliz, has one of the country's strongest pizza cultures, built for summer crowds. Its signature is a la piedra, a thin, crisp disc baked on the stone floor of a wood oven.
Several of the oldest spots date to the 1950s and 1960s, opened by Sicilian and Italian families near the coast.
The Argentine al molde slice holds its own too, sold by the piece at busy walk-up counters, and a handful of newer Neapolitan ovens round out the scene.
Look along the Centro, La Perla, and Güemes districts. In high summer expect a line outside the Centro counters.
