What makes grilled pizza different?
The dough goes straight onto the coals. The fire reaches it from below, so the base browns and takes the grill marks while the cheese melts on top, and it picks up some of the smoke from the embers. It is the only grilled pizza in El Calafate.
On the grill it is always a whole pizza. If you would rather have it from the oven we do that too, and from the oven it also comes as a half or by the slice.
Which ones do we make?
- Lamb, with the house lamb on top.
- Fugazzeta, onion and cheese, no tomato.
- Napolitana, with sliced tomato.
- Special.
- Blue cheese.
- Mushroom.
- Anchovy and mozzarella.
- Mozzarella, the base of everything.
The fugazzeta
Onion and cheese, no tomato. It is an Argentinian invention almost no visitor has heard of, and the pizza that sells most on the menu. We take it seriously enough to run a workshop on how to make it, alongside the asado one. Arranged over WhatsApp depending on the day.
Do you deliver?
Yes. Delivery with a charge for the ride and takeaway at no extra cost, every day from 3 pm to 10 pm. Order on WhatsApp: tell us which one, grill or oven, and whether you are picking it up or want it delivered.
And to eat it here?
The dining room is on the high side of El Calafate, inside America del Sur Hostel, with the big window over Lago Argentino. We are open every day from 1 pm to 11 pm straight through, so it works as a mid-afternoon plan too.
