El Preferido Is Buenos Aires’ Most Iconic Restaurant
"The latest from Leo Azulay, an alumnus of Francis Mallmann, serves Argentinean-style, semi-deep-dish pizza, using long-fermented sourdough. Eclectic sides and appetizers round out the meal." - Peter Kaminsky
Amazing pizza in Palermo! The wood-fired oven perfumes every pie with that perfect smoky flavor, you can smell it before you walk in. The fugazzeta is delicious and the fried empanadas are a must. Great vibe, great food, must go! 🍕🔥🥟

Visited on a food tour, tasted the classic pizza and shredded beef empanada, both excellent. We were early and on a food tour so the place was pretty empty and the food dropped instantly so I can’t vouch for the service on a normal visit. But friendly staff and delicious food!

Wood fire pizzas are always better, but this one went beyond my expectations.
The stuffing was unique for me so far and the slow fermentation dough added positively to the overall experience.
The restaurant is well located on a corner in the Palermo neighborhood and the staff was friendly. The dining area has a rustic decoration. It's pretty cool to eat here.
I highly recommend this restaurant!

Food for the soul. Both the pizza and the empanadas were absolutely amazing. The crust on the pizza dough is excellent. Would recommend to anyone visiting to go there.

This place was the first stop in our food Tour but it was also the most underwhelming. Had better pizza and empanadas elsewhere in Argentina.

These have been the best empanadas in Buenos Aires that we've had. We tried the chicken, beef, ham and cheese. Our favorite was split between them. So good! The pizza we had, a mozzarella was yum! Very highly recommended

Fantastic place for vegans / vegetarians! Stumbled upon PICSA on a public holiday when all vegan / veg restaurants were closed. PICSA served flavorful pizzas, all made with vegan-friendly sourdough base and no-sugar tomato sauce. There was a 30-min wait time for a table, but it was worth the wait!

We did a walking food tour and this was one of the restaurants on the tour. Pizza and empanadas were delicious
