Best Of Reykjavík 2018: Best Pizza

Flatey

Grandagarður 11

Few things get a Reykvíkingar’s heart racing like pizza, but for a pizza-loving nation, we’ve long had an unspeakable affair with sloppy Domino’s. Not anymore! True Napoli pizzas are now a reality in Reykjavík, with a pizzaiola from Naples, a custom electric oven that cooks pies in seconds, high-quality ingredients atop every signature thin slice, and leopard spot blistering. We’ve already devoured our body weight in the Padrino and cheesy Tartufo. The classic Margherita is also unmissable, and divine in its simplicity.

Roadhouse’s grilled celeriac ‘patty’ is one of the best interpretations of a vegan/veggie burger. Without resorting to Oumph, or the mystery mushy patty trickery, it’s a clever, smoky, delicious beast with all the trimmings. It’s available in both vegan and vegetarian versions.

Newcomer:

Hornið

Hafnarstræti 15

Hornið is an old school pizza joint where you can break bread with your grandma and toddler, or show up nursing a hangover, heartache, or both. With thin crust pizzas and a no-frills Italian-American flair in the decor as well as the toppings, this is a local treasure. We swear by their quattro stagioni.
