Fugazzeta · Buenos Aires
Stuffed Argentine pizza with two dough layers, mozzarella inside and a thick lid of sliced onions and oregano on top. Cheese-stuffed pizza on top of focaccia, on top of pizza.
The fugazzeta evolved out of Genoese focaccia (fugazza) brought by Italian immigrants in the late 1800s. Juan Banchero opened his Boca pizzeria on 28 March 1932 and added cuartirolo cheese to the focaccia, creating the canonical fugazzeta; the cheese-stuffed double-layer form spread quickly to the Corrientes pizza strip through the 1930s. The fugazzeta rellena form (stuffed more, often with ham too) followed; today both are served at El Cuartito, Guerrin and Banchero's surviving outposts.
