★★★★★ Sofra Urbana is a brand new pizza place serving a mix of Bosnian and Italian cuisine. Previously this place was called Rocco's and only offered Italian cuisine. All of the items are halal, except for the wings according to the owner. I came here with 3 other co-workers and we ordered an XL Sofra special pizza, Chevapi, Bureks, and Cockta drinks. It was a lot of food and had to take quite a bit of it back to work , but we wanted to try their unique offerings. Sofra special pizza XL ($23) - This pizza consisted of beef pepperoni, turkey Canadian bacon, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, and turkey bacon. As I don't eat pork, it was a real treat to find pepperoni and bacon toppings that I could eat and enjoy. All the meats had great flavor to them. The XL came with 12 slices and was a 16" pie. Mini 8" (4 slices), medium 10" (8 slices), large 12" (10 slices), giant 18" (12 slices) are the other sizes available. They have several specialty pizzas, and I'll probably go with the meat lovers on my next visit. All of their pizzas are prepared in a brick oven. Chevapi (large) $13.50 - This dish consisted of 10 home made ground beef sausages (skinless) sandwiched between 2 pieces of bread. The bread was soft on the inside and had diced onions, while the crust of the bread was crunchy. A red pepper based sauce and some sort of creamy butter sauce was provided to help add some flavor to the already incredibly juicy sausages. This was a unique dish that I had never tried before and was glad that I did. A smaller version of a chevapi is available with 5 pieces for $7. Beef Burek ($9) / Cheese Burek ($8) - This is a phyllo dough based dish stuffed with meat, cheese, spinach, or potatoes. The beef burek consisted of flavored ground beef while the cheese burek was made with feta cheese. Both of these Balkan region based dishes had so much flavor and I enjoyed the mouth-feel of the layers of crispy phyllo dough and the inside filling. All the burek dishes came with a small serving of a cucumber yogurt based sauce for dipping purposes. Cockta ($3) - This is the Balkan region's answer to Coca-Cola. According to my Serbian coworker he was saying it's much healthier and made with more natural ingredients. Taste wise it tastes just like Coke. Wings, sandwiches, and salads are also available here. I really enjoy exploring and trying foods from different areas of the world. So it was a real treat to try some of the popular Bosnian dishes out there. Everything that I tried tasted incredible. Seating is limited to about 25 people with a handful of tables inside the restaurant as well as 2 small tables outside. I'm glad there is another place in the OC that serves halal pizza so I can satisfy my craving for pizza filled with pepperoni and bacon. I'm looking forward to my return visit!
