After the success of the Sailor Jerry, Burro developed other creative options. The Burrata pizza balances the richness of creamy cheese with the freshness of arugula and brightness of tomato. The balsamic adds depth without overwhelming the delicate burrata.
Tips from diners
This is lighter and more delicate than the Sailor Jerry. Great if you want refined over bold.
This is the pizza that made Burro famous. It won the Pizza Master Medellín competition in 2017 and sold 3,400 pizzas in one week. The Sailor Jerry—a Caribbean rum with vanilla and spice—provides sweetness, the bacon adds smokiness, cream cheese brings richness, and the mozzarella ties it together. It's bold, unexpected, and works better than it has any right to.
Tips from diners
This is the pizza that put Burro on the map. Order it at least once to understand why it won the competition.
Come before 6pm on weekends to avoid long waits. This place gets crowded as evening approaches.
Fried dough knots brushed with garlic and parsley, served as a shareable appetizer.
Tips from diners
Share the garlic knots while waiting for pizza. They're crispy, garlicky, and reasonably priced.
Traditional thin-crust pizza with tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil, and olive oil.
Tips from diners
If you're unsure, start with the Margherita to taste Burro's base dough quality before trying the more experimental toppings.
Fresh pasta with guanciale, egg yolk, Pecorino Romano, and black pepper.
Tips from diners
Burro is primarily known for pizza, but the pasta is solid. Don't overlook it if you want to try both.
Burro Pizzeria became a city-wide name in 2017 when the BBQ Sailor Jerry won the Pizza Master Medellín competition, selling over 3,400 pizzas in a single week. The place has since expanded from a small location to a larger space in Viva Envigado to handle demand, but the philosophy remains: good dough, quality toppings, and willingness to experiment. The BBQ Sailor Jerry combines rum-spiced barbecue sauce with bacon, cream cheese, and mozzarella—a fusion that somehow works.
This place fills fast, especially weekends. If you arrive after 7pm, expect a wait of 30+ minutes. Arrive early or consider taking out.
Burro's expanded space in Viva Envigado is better for groups than the original location. The infrastructure is solid and the service is friendly.
The Sailor Jerry travels well. Order takeout if dining in is too crowded, and eat it fresh at home or a park nearby.
