Króníkan

Krónikan sits inside the Gerðarsafn art museum in Kópavogur, a short drive from central Reykjavík. The dining room is a glass-walled space that fills with afternoon light, and on warmer days, tables spill out the back where you can eat outside. This is a genuinely good option on a sunny day, and perfect for a family outing.   

The menu is built around antipasti sharing plates and sourdough pizzas, with toppings that range from a classic margarita to more adventurous combinations like a Diavoli with Sichuan-infused maple syrup, or a Cacio e Pepe pizza layered with crispy guanciale and pecorino. 

Pizzas are also available to take away, and there's a daily happy hour between 4 and 6pm - a good reason to time your visit accordingly.
