Franco has received a special tribute in the heart of Buenos Aires at El Cuartito, one of the city's most legendary pizzerias - and Franco’s local.

"We came to eat pizza here at El Cuartito, and they placed a painting of me next to Fangio, Messi and underneath Maradona”
For any Argentinian athlete, this is a true honour. El Cuartito has been a go-to spot for sports legends for decades, including Diego Maradona, who was a regular. Now, Franco joins an elite group of national icons recognised within its historic walls.
Being placed alongside Fangio, Messi, and Maradona is more than just a tribute—it’s a statement.
Fangio defined motorsport, Maradona and Messi shaped football history, and now Franco is carving his own path on the world stage.
For an Argentinian racer, standing next to Fangio is especially meaningful, linking Franco to the country’s deep motorsport heritage and the legend who paved the way.
If you’re ever in Buenos Aires and want to see it for yourself (and grab a slice of some of the best pizza in the city), El Cuartito is located at Talcahuano 937. It's more than just a restaurant - it’s a place where Argentina’s greatest sporting stories live on.
