Flatey Pizza

Flatey Pizza is a pizzeria at Grandagarður 9 in the Grandi Harbour area of Reykjavik, Iceland. It is classed as casual, with pizzas typically costing around ISK 2,800-3,900, and uses sourdough bases and local toppings. The pizzeria belongs to the new wave of food businesses that have moved into the former fishing district west of the Old Harbour, alongside cafés, design shops and restaurants such as Matur og Drykkur.

The sourdough pizza is the signature item. The long-fermented dough gives a light, slightly tangy base with a blistered crust, and the toppings draw on Icelandic ingredients where possible, giving the menu a local identity within a familiar format. Pizzas are sized for one person or can be shared, and the short menu keeps the focus on the oven. Beer, wine and soft drinks are available to accompany the meal.

The room is informal and bright, with simple furnishings and a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. The noise level is moderate and rises when the restaurant is full. There is no dress code, and diners tend to arrive in casual clothes after a day of sightseeing or a harbour walk. The pizzeria works equally well for a quick lunch, a group meal or a relaxed dinner.

Opening hours are typically daily from lunch to evening, though visitors should confirm times before planning. The restaurant operates mainly on a walk-in basis, although booking is advised for groups, particularly on weekends and in summer. Weekday afternoons are the easiest time to get a table without waiting. Grandi is a short walk from the Old Harbour, so the pizzeria is easy to combine with a stroll along the waterfront or a visit to the neighbouring ice cream parlour, Ísbúðin Valdís.
