Reykjavik is full of restaurants, but some restaurants here are admittedly a bit more hipster-friendly than others. Perhaps the most hipster-friendly pizza place in Reykjavik is the nameless pizza place at Hverfisgata 12 in the city center. That´s right, this place is so hip it doesn´t even have a name. To ruin the mystical appeal a bit, I will disclose that this place is apparently owned by the same people who run that really nice (and totally hipster-friendly) hostel and bar Kex. And perhaps it is called Hverfisgata 12, but that is just the street name. How hipster is that?
When I went there with my family, I was worried they wouldn´t let us in since none of us owns an iPhone, but fortunately, that worry was unfounded. With nice beer on tap and an eclectic selection of pizza, this is the place to go if you are a hipster with a hunger for great pizza. Their menu includes such delicacies as “The Helmsman”, “Fancy Pickles”, “The Narwhal Ismael”, and “Etruscan Elite”.

I had the nameless pizza with BBQ, cheese, pulled pork, pears, roasted seeds, and horseradish mayo (pictured). It was pretty fantastic 🙂
How to get there
Hverfisgata 12 is in the city center, just opposite the national theater.
