El Imperio de la Pizza
Founded by José Caramés in 1947 at the busy transit intersection of Corrientes and Federico Lacroze in Chacarita, per the city's own tourism site, El Imperio is known specifically for pizza al molde — thick, generous, cheese-laden — and, per a 2026 press profile, for a fugazzeta rellena distinguished by a provenzal (garlic-and-parsley) seasoning folded into the recipe across generations of pizzeros.
