What to Eat
The Wood-Fired Pizza with quality toppings on a properly made Italian crust is the Italian side of the menu that earns Intermezzo its pizza reputation. The Burek — the Balkan savory pastry of flaky phyllo filled with meat, cheese, or spinach — is the Eastern European item that makes Cafe Intermezzo genuinely distinctive in Charlotte. The Cevapi — the Balkan grilled minced meat sausages served with lepinja bread and kajmak — are the item most first-timers order on the recommendation of anyone familiar with Balkan food.
