Firstly, the pizza is awesome. Handmade, thin crust, very delicious. My only issue with the place is their bizarre ordering/service style. A waiter comes by to take your drink order, but for food you have to order from one of the separate but space-sharing vendors. Then you have to pay in cash when served, not when you order. Food truckish in a way, but just very weird. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

This place is good for friends and family to dine in here.
Former location was at the big bottle and old bazaar cafe.
Now it is located near Jalan wawasan.
Their pizza has thin and crispy crust, topped with olive oil and bigger portion.
The owner is from the Balkan state.
One day, the owner can open an online delivery service soon.
100% recommended.

I've eaten here dozens of times between 2016 and 2018. The pizzas are made by hand by the owner, thin crust. Very very good and excellent prices. Also inside the convenience store there are lots and lots of beers and other drinks available for purchase. Sitting outside in the evening is wonderful. (The When did you visit is a mandatory field so ignore the date I selected - I ate there frequently for 3 years). All pre-covid

Honestly I have had pizza on 6 continents and Balkanico is one of the best! I had my doubts as SE Asia isn't exactly known for its pizza; however, this pizza is spot on and delicious. Embracing simple ingredients over perfectly crafted crust. The portions are ample and the price is a steal for such culinary delight. If you are looking for a break from the flavours of SE Asia for an evening, do yourself a favour and come here!

Tried for three consecutive days to get a pizza here and it was always sold out super fast! Managed to snag one on my last day in Kuching and was very happy to eat it in front of a beer :)

Balkanico Pizza is, to me, hands down, the most authentic hand-made pizza in Kuching.
Our pizzaiolo (fancy word for pizza-maker hehe) who goes by the name of Aleksander hails all the way from Montenegro, Southeast Europe.
I love how Aleksander makes the dough from scratch, kneading the dough with strength - it comes out from the oven as a perfect thin crunchy crust.
Fresh from the oven, the pizza is amazing- from the texture, to the cheese used, and the freshness of the ingredients, it's a culinary heaven for the tongue.
The greatest highlight to me is the home-made pesto sauce - this blended green basil mixture complements the pizza perfectly! This pesto has such a strong garlicky taste, it simply made the pizza stand out immediately. He makes the pesto with freshest ingredients daily.
If you are a lover of garlic and strong spices, you can't miss this pizza with its pesto. It's too good. In my life, I've never had pizza with a stronger garlic tang. For those who aren't really fans of garlic however, you could always request for lesser or no pesto at all.
Located behind the Fairland Hidden Bar, this rustic looking area makes for a most picturesque spot.
If you are in Kuching, this is definitely a must try.

Lovely atmosphere and great pizza. We had a pepperoni pizza to share and it was only 25RM - about ÂŁ5. Beers are about ÂŁ1.20, so would highly recommend it

This isn’t really a restaurant, more of a street stall with seating, but who cares, if you like hand made thin crust pizza, this is the place. We demolished one and ordered two more. The pepperoni is fantastic. Definitely recommend.

The cafe is opposite a Chinese temle, it is actually a performance stage for that Chinese temple, so just look after the temple then you will find the cafe. The pizza is good and best to serve with a local tuak.

I had the beef pepperoni pizza (25RM) with fries and Vodka lime. Delicious thin crust, garlicky pizza. Would recommend if you’re seeking a pizza fix.

As others have mentioned, blink and you'll miss Balkanico - we walked past on our way to the food festival, but our son was still hungry on the way back, so we stopped off, bought a couple of beers and sodas from the offie and then ordered a pizza. Freshly prepared, in front of our eyes, it was delicious. Thin crust has to be the way to go - more ingredients, less dough...

The restaurant is not ready to find we passed the place 3 times before we saw it. It's on front of the big bottle shop. So you order your pizza directly from the chef. Drinks you buy yourself in the bottle shop. They have a large choice of international beer an other drinks. The pizza was very good. Large and extra thin. Definitely recommendable for a short snack.
