Winnipeg's best Argentinian Pizzeria
C
orrientes is one of the first lines in the urban design of the city. In
the late 19th century the city experienced a demographic explosion
through a massive European immigration, mostly Italian, who set a
critical influence. Genovese immigrants who settled brought their traditions
like the focaccia bread, which lead to the thick crust pizza and the fugazzeta,
an Argentinian classic.
At the same time, theatres, bookstores, pizzerias, cafés and cultural centres
landed on Corrientes Avenue changing Buenos Aires lifestyle by offering an
informal and inspiring environment. With the doors open until late night, the
street became home to some of the finest tango tendencies. Writers, artists
and visitors also felt the magnetism of
"la calle que nunca duerme" (the street
that never sleeps), and it took no time
for pizzerias to became a reference of
Corrientes idiosyncrasy.
Since then, pizzerias have become a
fundamental joint, a meeting point for
many. All day long people use pizzerias
as a breakfast place, a lunch stop
from work, having a fuggazeta with
the classic chopp of draught beer, or a
dining place for the family and friends
before or after the theatre.
We are proud to bring a slice
of Corrientes to Winnipeg.
