This place never disappoints. Traveled from home and it was the first stop. Best burek in town, price, friendly inviting atmosphere and deserves all the stars. Go go go and enjoy. read more

I'd rate Burek's four and a half stars. Please note it is not a pizzeria. They not not serve pizza. The name appears to be a joke on a burek pie being like a pizza. You should still come but do not expect pizza. I had a plain cheese burek which was freshly cut right in front of us. Absolutely perfect. Filo was super crispy. The cheese blend inside was stretchy, gooey, and creamy. They've perfected the burek. read more

On a recent adventure to Ridgewood, a failed visit to a now-closed Egyptian restaurant left us with empty stomachs and an open mind. With Albanian Grocery now closed, for a slice of burek, Burek's Pizza seemed like the most promising option. The spinach / cheese slice was delicious, with the key to success being the melt-in-your-mouth soft layers of dough inside the crusty filo exterior. They have an inviting patio for chowing down on your slice, which was pleasant enough even on a cold day. Next time we'll try the plain cheese slice as well. read more

Really sweet and considerate employee at the register. Halal menu. Delicious burek. The cheese one was my favorite. Will be back! read more

Best take out meal. I always get the cheese. I like to order a whole pie because i feel it's more fresh then ordering individual slices.

This is the best burek on this side of the Atlantic ocean!!! Save yourself the trouble of flying to the Balkans and get your lunch here!!

There is no burek's place like this. Affordable, polite guys, here you will always find fresh and warm burek. Don't forget to grab a yogurt. read more

No, this isn't a pizza joint owned by someone named Burek (despite the apostrophe). This is a seller of burek (Balkan-style pastry pies with various fillings). In fact, there's no pizza in here whatsoever that I've ever seen. We arrived at the end of the day today, and all they had left was two slices of the cheese burek. Thick, moist, you can taste the oily undertones of the flaky dough and cheese. A filling meal. Decor and atmosphere are pretty nonexistant, but are superfluous with food this good. read more

Wow! The food here is just incredibly delicious! We ordered two cheese burek & one meat burek. They both were just absolutely tasty! Big slice! Anyone with a big appetite will definitely be full & satisfied. $4 for each. The place is pretty small. Friendly service. Helpful too... We'll definitely go back! read more

GET THE MEAT BUREK. Spinach was just ok. Anything with meat is good.

It took me a while to try this place out since I had thought this was a pizzeria! I've had burek before (at Uku's in Astoria) but never remembered what it was called. Now i definitely will, because the burek here is fantastic. I've had the spinach/cheese burek a few times which provides a pretty hearty vegetarian meal. The crust is super flaky and crunchy, but chewy when you bite in, and also buttery. The filling is delicious and holds up well in the somewhat thin pie. They also have yogurt you can have with the burek, but I kind of prefer just eating it on it's own. I get the sense this is more of a take out place, but there is some seating in the somewhat dark restaurant and on the patio (go for the patio, if it's nice). And the woman who serves the burek is really a pleasure. Did I mention a huge slice of burek pie (like big enough to share) is only $5? read more

They have the best burek in the city. So friendly and polite. It's always nice to speak with them ! read more

I have to admit, Burek's Pizza is simply pretty darn cool. The atmosphere in this location is great. Every single thing was very yummy and I can't wait to go back already. The service was very good and I like the fact how everything is fresh. Burek's Pizza - I'll be back, hopefully sooner than later. read more

Delicious Burek can't complain other than not being open just a little later the owner was nice and friendly and the price isn't bad either I would definitely recommend this place to my family and friends read more

Burek's Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Ridgewood, New York

When I arrived I ordered one of each of these so called "pizzas". The person at the counter was a bit annoyed at the fact that I was asking questions about what was inside. When I received my food it was lukewarm and to my surprise was very bland and soggy. I was very disappointed since I was looking forward to trying this place for a long time! read more

The guy behind the counter barely speaks English so if you speak Yugoslavian (Sebo-Croatian, Bosnia etc) you got a bit of a heads up although all you have to do is point to what you want. Ridgewood has a sizable Balkan population (try Bosna Express which is a few blocks away for some Balkan burgers) esp from Montenegro, Albania, Bosnians and Serbs and Burek is their speciality. It's like spinach pie but thicker. You can order Bureks by the pie or the slice. A slice is 3 bucks, they have meat, cheese and spinach. Sometimes they have apple. One slice is more than enough for a meal. Enjoy! read more

Hands down the best burek in the city. there are some other good ones, but Burek's Pizza is tops. don't forget to get a small yogurt to enjoy with it (mali jogurtom). they have it with spinach, with cheese, and with meat. If you call ahead they can make you a special pie with apples - it's like apple pie, but balkan. This is a little place, which can fill up fast when they are busy. not much decor, it's just all about the burek. also next door is nice little grocery store with specialty products from former Yugoslavia and the region. read more

If you ever wanted to taste a traditional balkan meal, then this is the place to go! Yes, it looks like nothing special from the outside and even when you enter the place it leaves a lot to be desired decoration wise, but all that stops mattering the moment you take a bite out of your first order. Bureks pizza offers three types of burek meals, filled with meat, fresh cheese or spinach and trust me all of them taste delicious! Not to mention the price which is only $4 per slice (don't forget to treat yourself with some yogurt with your burek). The staff is incredibly nice and welcoming. 5 stars! read more

This place is awesome! If you are from the Balkans or enjoy Balkan food definitely swing by for Burek. It's done perfectly, not heavy, just delicious. read more

dellicious flaky crust meatpies (or white cheese, or spinachpies). Tasty snack, the groundbeef pie is my favorite. They close at 7pm so you gotta get them while they last. no decor, there are 2 tables, it's tasty food, gotta love it. read more

The only thing I don't like about this place is they close when they run out of Bureks. I first came when a friend brought me and always wanted to come back. When I moved just a few blocks away I now come here a few times a week. The meat, cheese and spinach are all great and the yogurt drink is the perfect complement. read more

1. the guy behind the counter (and bussing everything in and out to tables and his car) is top-model level GORGEOUS. enuf said. 2. their burek is pretty darn good (and, yes, i'm one of those who've been there -- a joint in Mostar was de riguer and by far the best with me and the boys back then). i must add, however, unless it's directly fresh out of the oven i almost always prefer to take my burek home and warm/crisp it up on my own. 3. drawback: while the place looks like your average non-descript local pizza joint, the location is quite charming and would have a degree of interest for urban sociologists -- it's in the middle of nowhere! 4. try out this greeting upon entering, "dohbar-DHAN!" (good day!), and lemme know how it goes. read more

Ahhhhhhh . . . Burek Burek . . . Would you believe there's a song in the Balkans about this wonderful little dish? Well, it's true! I'm from the Balkans and grew up on these layers & layers of paper thin dough filled with either ground beef, onions & spices OR cheese OR a combo of cheese & spinach. Grandma is too old and frail and mom has arthritis so neither of them will spend the hours it takes to stretch that dough so I must find a vendor to help with my occasional cravings of home-town flavors and Burek's Pizza is the answer. Each and every time I bring one of their beef pies home and take a bite . . . the thin crispy layers with ground beef & onion & the perfect amount of seasoning in the middle, combined with a cup of yogurt is DELISH! Yes, I want to sing the Burek song with each bite! As for decor . . . it's nonexistent. It's a small place with not much seating, a fridge with water, soda and yogurt, and a counter to order. (Speaking of ordering, if you don't speak Serbo-Croatian, then use your most primitive speaking skills . . . in other words, use hand gestures to indicate the number of slices or pies you want and limit your flavor requests to 1 word . . . beef or cheese . . . and use either "slice" or "pie" . . . trust me, your life will be much easier). read more

Excellent home style burek. I almost said better than my mothers, but laid off the kajmak just in time. The cabbage and cheese is my favorite. Try Burek's pizza before it becomes the next Cronut and Jean Georges starts serving burek stuffed with avocado and peas at ABC Cocina. read more

Great place I have 3 very loud and energetic girls they sit down inside just to wait for a burek. It's delicious. Friendly Tasty Fresh Affordable That's why there open so long Duh. other restaurants Take notes!!! read more

Burek's Pizza is a neighborhood staple. I've lived in this neighborhood for almost 19 years and everyone raves about the Balkan pastry pies. My favorite is the cheese filling. I will occasionally get a craving as I pass by this place. Clean place and decent service. My sons love them too. read more

Love, love love these guys. The burek here are heavenly, as is the yogurt that you can (and should) buy to eat it with. Hands down if you're in the area and hungry, don't walk by this unassuming little spot as you'll be missing out on a wonderful and filling meal. The girl who works the counter is the jack of all trades and does it all in true Balkan style - with a smile on her face and much hospitality. read more

Generally, the burek here are very very good. My favorite is the cheese. I always just pick up, take home and reheat in the oven. Cheese and spinach are pretty consistent in quality (very high). Once or twice with the meat, however, the ground beef quota was pretty stingy and I found myself eating mainly pastry. read more

First, education requirement for all Americans: Burek [BOOR-ehk]- thin packets of cheese-filled pastry popular in Southeastern Europe and Turkey. Incredibly delicious. Won't make you fat. Now the review: With food this tasty who needs decor? Just give me a plate and seating and I will enjoy good tasting food. Goodness! I only wish that more upscale places had food this good. Only one comes to mind, and it's far more expensive than this place! Order a pie for pick-up or buy a single slice of burek with yogurt and enjoy. A hungry man doesn't discriminate; a hungry man eats. Hungry men, come here! (women too, of course *rolls eyes*) read more

What a no frills place. Authentic Burek, hot, crispy, traditional. Accommodating counter help, great prices. Serious ethnic fast food gem. Only draw back is that it's super hot inside (summer). read more

Burek is awesome!! It competes with my dads! Good amount of cheese and moist. The best burek I ever bought. The owners are very nice people. I will be going back every chance I get. If you've never had it, you don't know what you're missing! read more

Strong fast food game here. Ready in two minutes and 4.50 a slice.

This place was such an unexpected discovery. We were walking home and felt like having a slice of pizza for lunch. This was the 1st joint we saw. We asked for 2 slices of regular and the lady behind the counter looked at us "funny" She said - " we don't sell regular pizza, we sell burek" Oh well, we were so hungry, so we decided to try this burek! It was amazing. So burek is not really pizza. It is more like French flaky dough with stuffing. We had meat and cheese(feta) slices. They also have burek with spinach. We are definitely coming back to try that one!!!! read more

The most simple little place that offers three choices of delicious Burek. Super cheap and perfect for take out! Owners are kind and friendly. read more

I absolutely love the cheese burek. Buy a pie, take it home and reheat it when you want to eat for 10 minutes at 350. It is absolutely delicious and satisfying. This is a great Serbian meal or snack and it is made perfectly at Burek's! read more

Spinach pie is one of my all-time favorite foods in the entire world. I was told that this somewhat resembled a spinach pie, and from what people told me of the burke, I was incredibly excited to try it. When I got there, the owner was on the phone and I was the only customer. Still excited, I ordered a piece. She made two, misunderstanding that I only wanted one. The communication barrier seemed a bit too difficult, and figuring that it would still be delicious and satisfy my craving, I agreed to pay for the two slices. There were tons of little flies flying around the place, and no air conditioning to speak of. She gave me my two slices in a paper bag to go, and I began to eat on the way to my friend's house a few blocks away. Just as I lifted the flaky slice to my mouth to try a slice, I saw one of the tiny flies from the pizzeria burrowing its way into my food. It literally burrowed its way underneath the flaky pastry layer and did not resurface. Then I saw another one emerge from the other end. Absolutely disgusted beyond belief, I threw both slices into the nearest wastebasket I could find. I'm sure that under normal circumstances, this might be a good slice or a delicious treat. Unfortunately, I rather lost my appetite for dinner. read more
