Nomad Pizza

One
Friday during the summer when I stayed at my fiance's place while she was at
work, I was starving and she didn’t have any food to eat for lunch. I had been
having pizza cravings for a while, and since Philly's pizza scene is booming, I
decided to give one of the places I had
been hearing a lot about a try. Lucikly, one of them happened to be
right around the corner, so I walked over to Nomad pizza to pick up a pie.
It
was quite small inside, but it had a pretty cool vibe to it. It was a little
hipster, but it had a lot of charm. I walked up to the counter and looked
over the menu. It was a tough decision because the menu had too many good
choices on it, but I wound up choosing the Spicy Soppresatta pizza.
Nomad
is known for having fresh, local and organic ingredients on all of its pizzas.
They list the local farms that they get the produce from on a blackboard that
hangs on the wall, which I thought was pretty cool. The Spicy Soppresatta had
tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil, soppressata, oregano, organic garlic, red
pepper flakes, organic parmesan and honey. The pizza was made right in front of
me as soon as I ordered it, and it was
put into the scorching hot oven. It came out almost as soon as it went in,
which goes to show you how hot the oven was, and I could not wait to dig into
it.
The
soppresatta had become very crispy, and some of its fat had rendered out onto
the pizza. The crust was thin and blistered, the way that I have come to love
my pizza. You could taste each of the ingredients on its own, and the flavor
was incredibly fresh. I loved the slight heat from the red pepper flakes,
especially when it was combined with the sweet touch of the honey. I also
really loved the creamy, rich flavor of the mozzarella and the fresh,
herbaceous taste of basil. I could have devoured the entire pizza and then
some. It was a masterpiece.
Three
and a half pints for Nomad Pizza. I really enjoyed the flavors brought out in
the pie I tried, and I was really enticed by the entire menu. I love their
philosophy on pizza and I cannot wait to try more. Its definitely worth a
visit, so check it out and let me know what you think! Cheers!
