Banchero Miami

Banchero is a casual Argentinian restaurant in North Beach known for its thick, cheesy Argentinian pizza. And if you’re here—especially for the first time—that should be on the table. They’ve got dozens of options, but the fugazzas—a Buenos Aires specialty—are our favorite. These pizzas have a similar height and depth to Chicago deep dish, but that’s where the similarities end. Banchero’s cheese fugazza has mozzarella baked both on top and inside the dough. On top is a delicious blanket of charred white onions with a whole olive on every slice. The milanesa here is also wonderful, served in a handful of huge versions that all hang off the plate like Shaq on a twin bed. If you are, somehow, still hungry, get the biggest alfajor we’ve ever seen in our lives for dessert.
