Yep, it’s another bold statement from us here at Must See in Iceland. Could it be that we’ve found the best pizzas in Iceland? Well, we’re pretty confident that we did just that!
You see, we’ve gathered intel (I use the word intel to make this sound so much more exciting and dangerous than it really is) from hundreds of locals. We’ve driven all around the country to personally taste a lot of pizza. We’ve gained tens of pounds just to discover the truth. To find the best pizzas in Iceland.
We can’t guarantee that everyone agrees with us and probably there are some amazing hidden secrets out there that we missed. If so, we would love to hear about them at mustsee@mustsee.is!
Are you ready for the pizza ring road trip around Iceland? Well, let’s start in the capital area and move east until we’ve gobbled up slices of glorious pizza all around the country. Let’s go!
Capital area

Íslenska flatbakan
Bæjarlind 2, Kópavogur
Another pizza place we’ve already written about, simply because it’s so fantastic. If you decide on venturing to Kópavogur for a slice of amazing pizza, you also have to taste the breadsticks, called bröllur. OH. MY. GOD. Thank you Íslenska flatbakan for giving me a wonderful carb high!

Ítalía
Laugavegur 11, Reykjavík
Wow, I’m like a broken record because I’ve already recommended this place as a lovely setting for a romantic date. That is true, and it’s also a fabulous place for pizza. Ítalía has been around for what feels like forever and they never disappoint.
Distance from down town Reykjavík: Ítalía is smack in the middle of down town, on Laugavegur 11

Papas Pizza
Hafnargata 7a, Grindavík

Gallery Pizza
Hvolsvegur 29, Hvolsvöllur

Z Bistro

Here you can eat some world class pizza! I love my pizza and this is one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! Really juicy, with loads of toppings and a crust to die for! I could go on all day, but it’s better if you just drive to Höfn yourselves to experience the magic.
Distance from Reykjavík: Approx. 460 km

Hótel Framtíð

Hópið
Hrafndalsvegur, Tálknafjörður

This is perhaps one of the places that surprised me the most. I can’t wait to go back to Tálknafjörður for another pizza at Hópið. One of the best pizzas in Iceland!
