Akureyri Domino’s Pizza

The charming Icelandic town of Akureyi is known for its stunning fjord views, vibrant art scene, and proximity to natural wonders like waterfalls, hot springs, and whale watching. It’s also home to the world’s northernmost Domino’s pizza. At a latitude of 65.688° N, it lies just below the Arctic Circle. 

Like any other Domino’s in the world, this one offers pickup and delivery and is packed on Friday nights with hungry locals and visitors lining up for pizza. There are gluten-free options, vegan options, and even some Icelandic specialties like the Dóttir, which is topped with bacon, cream cheese, dates, chili and BBQ sauce. 

It’s not the world’s northernmost pizza chain - that distinction goes to the Pizza Hut/KFC location in Cambridge Bay in Nunavut, Canada (latitude 69°N), nor the world’s northernmost fast food outlet - that’s the Tim Horton’s in Pond Inlet, Nunavut, Canada (latitude 72° N) on Baffin Island. But don’t let that stop you from enjoying your breadsticks while you watch the northern lights or ships in the fjord. Or maybe even dream about a trip to its counterpart, the world’s southernmost Domino’s Pizza. That one is in Punta Arenas, Chile (latitude 53°08′20″S), which also happens to be the southernmost fast-food franchise on Earth.
