Let me tell you about this little gem we recently discovered in Cordoba, Argentina. It's called Chicago American Bar and they offer American style pizza.
A regular slice will cost you $170 Argentine pesos ($2.85 USD) and $220 Argentine pesos ($3.69 USD) if you want pepperoni on it. You also get two slices for the price of one on Tuesdays. Their slices are juicy, greasy and soooo delicious! They're also ginormous just like the ones back home.
At Chicago American Bar, you won't find those typical Argentine pizzas the locals call large but is really the size of a plate. Best of all, the mozzarella cheese on these pizza slices don't taste like feet like most of the local pizzerias in Cordoba.
We had just given up hope of ever finding a decent pizza in our host province of Cordoba. We've traveled to Buenos Aires and sampled the pizza at The Bronx Pizza, which was pretty decent. Ugi's Pizza wasn't bad either. But we can't zig zag to B.A. every time we get a craving for pizza, especially in light of our recent debit card cloning debacle. But now we don't have to go so far to get a great slice of pizza. This time we can get them in downtown.
Chicago American Bar is located in Fructuoso Rivera 262. They operate at night, which is a total bummer because sometimes I'm craving pizza in the day time. But the good news is that customers can either eat there, pick up their own order, or use the delivery service app, Pedidosya.com.
Here are their business hours:
They have an indoor area as well as an outdoor area on the second floor that is smoker friendly. But you need to make a reservation because it gets packed. You can also place an order to go. They'll have your pizza slice done in about 15 minutes. Then you just have to make sure you get it home safe.
They offer a bunch of different toppings, including, pepperoni. Well, it's not exactly pepperoni. Then again, only someone who loves pepperoni would notice that. But it's really good.
They also offer a variety of other food items like chicken wings, burgers and fries among other things.
If you're a local or you're an expat staying here long term and are craving some decent non-Argentine pizza, then Chicago American Bar is your best option.
My husband recently went with a friend of ours to introduce her to the wonderful tastes Chicago American Bar had to offer and she loved it.
They also have a bar, so if you want to order a beer while you wait for your order, then go for it!
