Cozy spot whit welcomeing atmosphere. I ordered pizza it was amazing,as I waited the owner put together sampler plate that had mantije and burek.It taste something I never had before great breakfast food!
I’m no stranger when it comes to Serbian food, since I have been to one Serbian restaurant and now 3 Serbian style cafés. The location can be easily missed if you don’t look closely, but it’s between J&C Modern Way Dry Cleaners and D’Pelos Salon. When you walk in, you order at the counter. They have 5 tables that you can sit at if you choose to dine in. I decided to go with some of their traditional bakery items like burek and mantije. I also ordered prosciutto cotto calzone. The owners were very nice and helpful. One of the owners offered me a piece of mantije to sample. Prices were extremely reasonable, they definitely give you a generous amount of food for your money.
-burek (meat) 5 - they have 3 different kinds, meat, cheese, and pizza. It had a flaky crust and the meat was very tender. If you have this for breakfast, it is filling but it’s good if you’re in a hurry. -mantije (meat) 5 - kind of a miniature version of a burek but bite size. Crust is crunchy with a plentiful amount of meat in each piece. This was one portion. -prosciutto cotto calzone 5 - you will have to be patient because it does take a little awhile to prepare and cook. I loved the big pieces of prosciutto and I like how the pesto just oozes out with each bite. The crust has a tasty, cheesy taste from the mozzarella.

Gyro pizza was amazing. 14 inch special for only 12.95 can't beat the quality and price for the area.

Balcanico Wood Fire Pizza: A Hidden Gem for Pizza Lovers
If you're in the mood for delicious wood fire pizza at unbeatable prices, look no further than Balcanico. Known for having the cheapest pizzas in the area, this place doesn't skimp on quality or flavor despite the low cost.
One standout item on their menu is the Gyros Pizza—a unique and mouthwatering combination of tender gyro meat, fresh vegetables, and their signature sauce, all on top of a perfectly charred, crispy crust. The blend of Mediterranean flavors with traditional pizza makes it a must-try for anyone looking for something different yet comforting.
What really sets Balcanico apart, aside from the food, is the warm and friendly service. The staff goes above and beyond to make every visit feel personal and welcoming. They truly care about their customers, and it shows in how attentive and kind they are from the moment you walk in.
In short, Balcanico is a hidden gem where great prices meet great food, and you’ll leave not just satisfied but looking forward to your next visit!

The best burek in the Chicago area, hands down! This place might be small, but the cozy, charming atmosphere adds to its appeal. The burek is perfectly crispy on the outside and generously filled with delicious, flavorful ingredients. Every bite is a delight! Whether you're a burek lover or trying it for the first time, this spot is a must-visit. The intimate setting and friendly staff make it an even more enjoyable experience. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the Chicago area!
