Buenos Aires Pizzeria: A Taste of Argentina in Denver
I've spent some time in BsAs, and ate my fair share of pizza. Guerrin and Banchero are the most well-known pizzerias there, and the pizza above looks similar in it's cheese-slathered style. In Argentina, it seems common for pizza to be consumed with a slice of "faina", which is a chick-pea flour cake. I probably ate at about 10 pizzerias when I was there, including a place that served slices from smallish pies (actually 1/4 of the pie) which were very NY-like. I remember seeing a lot of wood-fired brick ovens there. I didn't have any when I was down there, but apparently grilled pizza (pizza la parilla) is consumed in Argentina in Uruguay. I had NO problems satisfying my pizza addiction when in Argentina. Brazil is big on pizza as well (even more brick ovens), but they definitely turned it into their own thing, far from being italian (though I did have an amazing DOC margherita in Rio).
Favorite Pizza Condiment??
Just about every pizzeria in Brazil includes packets of ketchup and mayo with their pizzas, which are used heavily.
Video: Rats on Vinny Vincenz Pizza Truck
I'd still eat Ratty Vincenz over some flavorless slice, as long as I can't taste the rat shit. Besides, rats never really hurt anyone on a large scale since like the mid 1300s. Poor stigmatized animals...

@adam: I was always under the impression that grilled pizza was invented at Al Forno, however, it seems that there is some debate over this. I've been living in Buenos Aires for the last year and grilled pizza ("pizza a la parrilla") is fairly common and considered to be something native to Argentina. I have also heard that grilled pizza exists in Italy and may have originated from there.
