Путеводитель: Black Crust Pizzeria

Black Crust Pizzeria is one of the more unique pizza places in Iceland and, simply put, one of the best. It's located in the charming town of Vik along the South Coast, about a three-hour drive from Reykjavik. It's the perfect place for lunch or dinner after a day of exploring some of Iceland's most iconic attractions.

While the small town of Vik has a lively restaurant scene, Black Crust Pizzeria has quickly established itself as the go-to place for a delicious bite in the area since it opened in 2022. It's close to the black sand beach of Vik and just by the Ring Road, making a stop easy!

The signature of this pizzeria is the charcoal-infused dough that gives the pizza a striking black color, hence the name of the restaurant! There are also more classic sourdough pizzas on offer, and they're all a treat for the tastebuds!

The toppings are delicious, and some combinations are rather unique. One of the best items on the menu is the black crust pizza with langoustine, truffle-infused cream cheese, red onions, rucola, and herbs. You can also go for the amazing marinated duck pizza or the date pesto and pepperoni option, but in reality, there's no wrong option on the menu.

To go with your delicious pizza, there's a great selection of local beers and other soft drinks to enjoy. We also recommend picking up a tasty dessert to enjoy after your meal! As the pizza servings are quite large, a great option is the freshly made macarons, as you'll be able to enjoy them later in the evening or over the next few days.

The atmosphere of Black Crust Pizzeria is very casual. You order your meal at the bar and then find a table in the dining area. It's not possible to reserve a table ahead of time, but you can, of course, do a take-away. It can be the perfect way to admire the surrounding beauty of Vik on a nice summer day!

The interior design is stylish, featuring natural wood and a dark green color palate with plenty of plants. There are also floor-to-ceiling windows in the dining area so guests can admire the surrounding view.
