Join us on the ultimate Corrientes Pizza Tour and discover the most delicious traditional pizzas in Buenos Aires and possibly the whole country! We'll be walking along Corrientes Avenue, the heart of entertainment in the city, similar to Broadway in New York or the West End in London. The avenue is home to some of the most important theaters in the city, making it a vibrant and exciting cultural hub.
We will also cover some history and architectural icons along the way. This is much more than just pizza. We will visit the Obelisco and walk past the Teatro Colón and Argentine Supreme Court.
This is our first of several pizza stops. We visit only the classics that gave fame to Argentina's pizza reputation. At each place, we try different varieties, focusing on each location's specialty. Here we start things off with a spinach and white bechamel sauce pizza.
Our second location has another great classic porteño pizza. Here we are going to try a combination of mozzarella pizza with faina. Here is where the Italian influence shines. Faina is an Italian flatbread made with chickpea flour.
The Gran Rex theater in Buenos Aires was designed by Alberto Prebisch and completed in 1937. Alberto also designed the Obelisco. It is an example of the rationalist style, which is characterized by its simple lines and lack of ornamentation. The theater has a capacity of 3,262 spectators and hosts a variety of events, including film premieres, concerts, and award shows. The theater's name comes from the Latin word "rex," meaning "king." The Gran Rex was the first theater in Argentina to have air conditioning.
