While Argentinian pies might share some physical resemblances with their Neapolitan cousins -- they have a circular form and dough base.
That's where the similarities end.
Inch-high crusts tend to go light on tomato sauce while overcompensating with so much Argentinian-style mozzarella cheese, it drips down the side.
Garnishes include green olives, oregano, or dried chili flakes.
An entire cheese-and-tomato pizza is often simply referred to as una muzza.
Some traditional pizzerias in Buenos Aires sell by the slice, designed to be eaten standing at the bar.
Customers can also order faina, a filling slice of chickpea pancake, to soak up the gooey cheese.
