When he's not on tour, this vegetarian subsists on coffee and pizza in his hometown. Here, Olafur Arnalds shares his favorite places to get it.
Pizza King
"It's a well-known fact that this is the best pizza place in Reykjavik. The pizza has too much cheese and is frequently overcooked (these are compliments)." PizzaKing.is
Pizza Pronto
"Located much closer to my studio, they have the option of margherita slices--a good choice for vegetarians like me--so I visit frequently. Pile on all 10 of the spices they have available; it makes it quite delicious."
