What's great about Nomad Pizza
I was strolling through the local Stop & Shop with my daughter on Saturday, wearing my Barberton Magics t-shirt, when for the first time since I'd moved to New Jersey, someone came up to me and said "is that... Barberton... Ohio?" I told the woman it was and "have you heard of us?" and she said she was from Cleveland! I was about to ask her about the Indians and their impending victory over the hated Yankees in the playoffs, when she came up with the following question: "Have you found any good pizza in the area?" We agreed that in northeast Ohio there was a decent pizza place on nearly every corner. "And here," she says, "the pizza tastes like ketchup on a cracker." I couldn't go that far, but I did throw out my old saw about pizza places recycling their boxes and spreading tomato sauce on round pieces of box lid.It was unfortunate that I couldn't tell her then what I know now.
On Sunday I encountered Nomad Pizza. These guys, with a brick oven built into their classic REO Speedwagon truck, definitely do NOT serve up ketchup on a cracker. Fresh and hot, right out of the oven, with (whenever possible) organic and (whenever possible) locally-produced toppings. I have only one word to describe them: yummy.
They don't have a storefront yet. And let's face it: their idea of the oven truck is such a good one that they can make a good business without a static location. But if they ever want to reach those of us who can't attend the special events that they are catering nearly every day, they'll have to go bricks and mortar sooner or later. When they do, I'm there.
