The story the reviews tell
Fugazza arrives as a thick-crusted Argentine pizza born from Buenos Aires kitchens, where Neapolitan technique met Genoese focaccia tradition. Onions blanket the dough in a generous scatter, sometimes joined by olives—a straightforward composition that doesn't need much. The variant fugazza con queso layers in mozzarella, though the onion-forward version remains the archetypal form, descended from pizza al molde's baking method.
What makes this version distinct
Fugazza (from Genoese fugassa) is a common type of Argentine pizza, originating in Buenos Aires, that consists of a thick pizza crust topped with onions and sometimes olives. A similar variant known as fugazza con queso or americana includes mozzarella cheese along with the aforementioned ingredients. It is derived from a combination of Neapolitan pizza with Italian focaccia bread, which in the Genoese Accent is known as Fugassa. The pizza originates from another style called pizza al molde.
