WHO WAS PICAFERAJ [pi:t.sa.fer.ai]
Who was Picaferaj [pi:t.sa.fer.ai]
Simply said, Picaferaj used to be an old man, an "uncle" who would bring light to the town streets, a lamplighter.
And how he used to do that?
Well, every evening, sunset time, he would walk down the streets of old Split, climb his ladders and put the light in the street lamps, one by one. He was lightening not only streets but peoples lives as well, so everyone called him "His Lightness".
We are not uncle Picaferaj, but we are definitely the best Pizzaferaj! We love pizzas! And we bring light to your lives by makeing the best pizzas. Romana or Napoletana, doesn't matter! Romana is the thin one, Napoletana is the one with the raised edge ("cornicone"). You decide which one you prefer!
WHAT DO WE DO?
Let's admit it! Even when your stomach is full, even after your mother's and grandmother's lunch, there is always some space left for a small bite of your favorite pizza, right?
Welcome among your friends!!
Our place feels like home! We argue, scream at each other, complain about each other, but we also love, cheer and support each other, and most of all, we love to sit around table and enjoy a really good pizza together! That feeling when you can't wait to grab it, you don't mind how hot it is, you don't mind it's dripping through your fingers because you just HAVE TO eat it!! Usually all that while in other hand you try to hold a TV remote, scared someone will use that moment of weakness and steal it from you to change the TV channel!
Pizzaferaj feels like home!
Our pizzas are amazing and our 35+ gained kilos can confirm that statement easily! We gained all that weight last year while doing the RESEARCH about the best dough and the best combinations and flavors that create that OMG feeling!
We dragged all ingredients from Italy. All family took that trip together. We got in a fight before we even started the trip of course, but we got back with best San Marzano tomatoes, Italian cheeses and again 15+ kilos gained along the way cuz, well, we had to taste a few (hundreds) pizzas.
Pizzaferaj is pure love. Love that brings light into our lives. Towards family, good life, friends and happy moments we share around table, watching TV, talking or simply sharing one good pizza.
If you think our pizza is not good enough, we dare you to find a better one!
Frequently Asked Questions About Us (FAQ)
What is the story behind Pizzaferaj in Split?
Pizzaferaj was born out of a passion for authentic pizza and a desire to bring Split a dining experience that perfectly blends traditional Italian dough-making with the Mediterranean charm of our coastal city.
What makes Pizzaferaj dough different from other pizzerias in Split?
Our dough undergoes a slow natural fermentation process lasting 24 to 48 hours. This makes it exceptionally light, easy to digest, crispy on the outside, and airy on the inside - leaving no heavy feeling after your meal.
Where do you source your ingredients?
We use a carefully selected combination of imported top-tier Italian products (such as original mozzarella di bufala and San Marzano tomatoes) and fresh ingredients sourced from local Dalmatian producers and markets.
Is Pizzaferaj suitable for families with children and large groups?
Absolutely! Our restaurants offer a welcoming ambiance tailored for families, couples, and larger gatherings. For larger groups, we recommend booking a table in advance to ensure seamless seating.
What is Pizzaferaj's vision for the future?
Our goal is to maintain flawless food and service quality, continuously enrich our menu with seasonal specialties, and remain the go-to pizza spot for both residents and tourists in Split.
