Picaboj in Ljubljana

Because Andreja had decided to join at work, we decided to celebrate with food. We went to the intersection of Slovenska and Rimska road (Rimska 6, 01/2926505), where there is now a new pizzeria – Picaboj. The driving force behind this project is Gregor Markelj. He has a reputation as the best pizza chefs in the capital Ljubljana. He was educated in Napoli, among other places, and we ate his pizzas at the 5-6 kg Inn. He also has a musical career behind him (Fidži aka Picaboj).

When we arrived at the bar, the tables were in the sun and we moved them a little. The restaurant is nicely furnished, where the orange color stands out. Self-service applies to drinks so I went to the fridge to get a beer. There are 8 types of pizza on the menu. There is also a weekly pizza, this week it was (pelati, dry salami, homemade pancetta, mixed mushrooms (shiitake, beech oyster, mushrooms), baked basil, baked parmesan, pitted olives, egg).

Since we were not too hungry, we took one weekly pizza in half, each one with its own egg. The pizza was delicious, the dough is a combination of Neapolitan and Roman style (use it after 2 days of rising). the egg is well fried – the yolk runs out, the combination of ingredients is delicious. I took the Lana hot sauce with mango, but it is too mild, on contrary the peperoncino was OK. I didn’t liked knife there, but he already gor new pizza knives.

We slowly ate the pizza and had a drink, in between talking with Fiji and the guests. After 2 hours we left the bar full and paid €22 for this luxury. Definitely a place where pizza lovers must stop when they are in Ljubljana. You can also order via the Wolt app.
