Every year around the beginning of July, we make a BEST OF REYKJAVÍK ISSUE celebrating
some of what makes Reykjavík-life worthwhile, posting some good entries into a hopefully never-
ending discussion. The following are some nice tips we pulled from BEST OF REYKJAVÍK 2015,
which you can read in full at www.grapevine.is.
The not-so-secret pizza place wins again!
There are a lot of things to consider when
choosing the best pizza but in terms of
basic pizza quality, setting, and inventive
toppings, the Hverfisgata 12 pizza place
has them all beat. “They go the extra
mile with the toppings, like smoking the
cream cheese,” said one correspondent.
“Their vegetarian Christmas pizza was
amazing, it was topped with red beets,
ruccola and walnuts. I hope they feature
it again.” Another worthy mention is
their brunch pizza with fried eggs and
bacon, the perfect recovery dish before
starting again at upstairs bar Mikkeller
and Friends. The place will also surprise
in other ways. The service is remarkably
fast even when swamped and the place
was actually suggested for the Family
Friendly category despite the secrecy
and tight fit.
Best Hairdressing Salon
Barbarella

Hverfisgata 12 Suðurgata 7
This year, as opposed to lumping all
places to get one’s hair done into one
category, we decided it was time to split
up barbers and salons. They’ve usually
duked it out in one slot and that just isn’t
fair. In fact, it might be somewhat of an
upset, but this relatively new place right
near City Hall got the top score in this
redefined category. The salon is a sort
of 60s theme shop with mod chic décor
and copious references to the Jane Fonda
B-movie classic that is their namesake.
The talented team of stylists includes
a couple of stray-hairs from acclaimed
salon Rauðhetta og úlfurinn. They offer
unisex styling and colouring, and they
are stocked with high-quality products.
It might be the best place to get a vintage
‘do, like a short Twiggy cut or big blonde
bombshell locks. They may be new, but
they’ve got our hair wrapped around
their pinky.

Best Cheap Thrill
Bingo
This city is not especially renowned for
facilitating frugality, so coming up with
cheap thrills is always a challenge when
we run this poll. This year, though, like a
bolt from the blue, somebody remembered
the bingo hall up on Skipholt. Under the
cool vintage sign and within the no-frills
exterior, one will find all walks of life
commonly sharing the bingo experience.
“It’s run by all these great old ladies—only
women work there—and you can buy a
ticket for just 300 ISK or get ten like the
pros,” our panel’s bingo aficionado noted.
“There’s a stage where they call the bingo
from and behind there’s this huge screen
where the numbers show up so it’s really
easy to follow along. Plus the ladies are
so helpful.” Also, it’s one of the few sober
spaces in town on weekend nights. Bingo!
