Pastrmalija (Macedonian: Пастрмалија) is a Macedonian bread pie made from dough and meat. Pastrmalija is usually oval-shaped with sliced meat cubes on top of it. Its name derives from the word pastrma, meaning salted and dried meat of sheep or lamb (cf. "pastırma"). It is based on the Turkish İçli Pide. Although it is officially called pastrmalija, a popular name among the Macedonian people is "pastrmajlija", only adding the letter "j".
In its honor, the city of Štip organizes an annual festival called "Pastrmalijada".
