About us – Black Crust Pizzeria

Get to know Black Crust Pizzeria

Black Crust Pizzeria was created by a collaboration of a few of the restauranters and visionaries of Vík as a passion project. We wanted to create a unique pizza experience in Vík. Up until a few years ago, Vík was a quiet town that only had one restaurant.

Today it’s the most visited town of Iceland and us locals take that challenge with pride and continue to create great experiences for their visitors. That was the goal of Black Crust Pizzeria from the beginning. We have since then become one of the busiest restaurants in Iceland.

What makes the pizzas black?

Our signature black pizzas are inspired by the Black Sand Beaches located on the south coast of Iceland. We use activated charcoal to make our dough the color of volcanic ash, and we do it all in-house.

We do not use any artificial food coloring – research shows that activated charcoal can actually be beneficial to your digestive system! We prepare dozens of kilograms of dough every single day, so it’s always fresh and ready to be served.

The town of Vík is a full of life all year round beautiful place in the heart of the south coast of Iceland. With roughly around 800 locals during summer season, we’re busy making sure every guest passing by the town has an incredible experience.

There’s lots to see and experience, and we’d love to have you dine with us if you get a chance – Black Crust Pizzeria is definitely a bucket list experience!
