Flatey Pizza

Neapolitan pizzeria - Downtown Reykjavik. Short cooking time, simple quality ingredients and fine workmanship are the marks of a Flatey pizza. The results are naturally flavourful and wholesome pizzas. Flatey draws inspiration from Neapolitan tradition, where simplicity comes first when selecting ingredients and cooking. In the regions surrounding Naples, traditional pizza artistry has practically remained unchanged since the 18th century. Margherita is the classic Neapolitan pizza, and a staff favourite here at Flatey. According to history, the first margherita was made in 1889 when baker Raffaele Esposito decorated a pizza to resemble the Italian flag in honor of queen Margherita di Savoia. He used tomatoes for red, mozzarella cheese for white and finally basil leaves for green.
