The Best Pizza in the Americas - Filo (Buenos Aires)


In Buenos Aires, there exists Filo (975 San Martin) where one can get Damn Fine Pizza, and much more importantly, the Alle Patate - A pizza with a topping of thinly (oh, *so* thinly) sliced potatoes and rosemary.  Shockingly good stuff.  One that The Nikki has been trying to replicate for a while.  The potatoes (raw.  but they are sliced translucently thin, and i suspect the few minutes that the pizza spends in the oven are sufficient to get 'em Just Right) maketh the pizza.  To make it truly bad for you, they bring you a little thingie of olive oil to pour on, over, under, and around the pizza, which doesn't help things at all. 
Don't be put off by the touristy vibe - or the neighborhood - it is, and always has been, quiet possibly the best pizza I've had in the Americas.  Do note, however, that this is Roman style Pizza, i.e., thin crispy crust (that stays crispy for the entire duration, however infinitesimal that duration may be due to the rapidity with which you will wolf down the pizza).
Still, good stuff.  Run, don't walk...

That potato rosemary pizza is one of the finest things I've ever tasted. When Nikki perfects it, I'm coming over.
