Piola

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Famous for Pizza

What began in 1986 in the heart of Treviso, Italy, has grown into one of the most recognizable names in authentic Italian pizza across three continents. Piola's founding idea was straightforward: recreate the most traditional of Italian public establishments — the pizzeria — without compromise. That same spirit now lives on Libertad 1078 in Buenos Aires.

A Concept That Travels Well

Piola's expansion through franchising brought its philosophy to the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, and Turkey, yet the kitchen's commitment to artisanal quality has remained the constant. The brand's own words say it best: "the authentic Italian tradition of simple yet flavorful food is intelligently combined with special service." Feeling comfortable, in Piola's view, is worth as much as eating well — and that balance is precisely what has kept guests returning across decades and time zones.

Recognition That Counts

The Buenos Aires location earned a slice from Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative food and wine guide, in 2020 — a meaningful nod for a pizzeria operating far from its Italian roots. Gambero Rosso's evaluators are notoriously rigorous when it comes to Italian cuisine abroad, making the recognition a genuine mark of quality rather than a courtesy award.

What to Expect

Guests arrive for dinner and find a room shaped by the same values that define the original Treviso concept: honest ingredients, straightforward preparation, and attentive service. The Italian pizza here is not a local adaptation — it is the product of an international supply chain and operational model designed specifically to preserve the character of the original.
