Definitely a staple spot of the Princeton area. The location is great being that it is in a huge shopping center so there is always lots of parking. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side but when the weather is nice they can open up the roof and let the breeze in! They don't take reservations for smaller parties and it gets crowded quite quickly around dinner so definitely get there early if you are going on a weekend. BYOB! The pizza itself is Neapolitan and yummy though is underdone occasionally. We got the vodka pie and corn pie this time. The vodka was definitely more marg leaning and could've used more cheese but the dough is delicious. The corn pizza was unique and a hit with our table. Their desserts are also great, with Nutella pie and homemade ice cream. A solid spot for sure. read more

Top 3 pizza spots in the US-- it is that serious! Genuinely such delicious wood fired pizza in the heart of Princeton, I only wish they had a location on Nassau! Wow. I've tried their pizza countless times at local university events but the food is even better at their restaurant location. I love their pepperoni pizza and burrata prosciutto pie. Service is great, there are plenty of tables and such a lovely cute ambiance inside. Waittime can be long, so beware. read more

Strangely, I don't have any complaints but I can't give Nomad five stars. (5=can't wait to go back) Service was good and attentive. Prices weren't too bad for what we got. The pizza was good but not uniformly great. We got three pies and salad (two lunch specials and another pie). The best was surprisingly the Soppressata. It was a little spicy and a little sweet. The sausage wasn't evenly dispersed. The mushroom was a little wet. read more

Good pizza. It probably depends on what kind of pizza you like, but I do like this style of pizza with the bubbles in the crust! Some parts were a bit soggy for me, but my husband loves crust that way, so again, it's a preference thing. Service was great! They serve bottles and maybe some half bottles of wine, but nothing by the glass and no other cocktails that I saw. Overall, it was a nice atmosphere for a casual lunch. read more

Nomad Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

The best pizza place in Princeton. Something about their dough and crust is so special and other pizza places just feel so mid in comparison. Get anything with spicy honey and you won't regret it. We usually come with a big group. Both the indoor and outdoor seating is nice, but it's always so packed so expect some wait time. read more

Came here with a large group after a battle reenactment at the nearby state park. We got there right when the restaurant opened and the staff quickly put together a table for 20. There are a lot of fancy personal pizza options on the menu. I had the wild mushroom pizza and shared a dessert Nutella pizza with the table. The kitchen did a great job of getting all of our food out at the same time. The toppings were very tasty. I wasn't a huge fan of the crust, but all in all this was a good experience. read more

Nomad Pizza is one of those places I used to go to all the time, and it's still a spot I always come back to whenever I'm in Princeton. Their guanciale pizza is a classic with the guanciale and FIG JAM (genius move), though I did notice the flavor has changed a bit, probably from a new supplier, and it tastes a little more pork-forward than it used to. The margherita is a must for me every single time as it's simple, clean, perfectly balanced, and honestly one of their best pies. And the funghi is another standout: earthy, rich, and something they consistently do really well. If you're in Princeton and want great wood-fired pizza, Nomad is hands down the best pizza you'll get. read more

Good pizza for Princeton. Not a typical classic recipe taste kinda pizza but its good if you want something in a modern urban area and a flare of Fast paced & modern. Good selections and the crust is made well. It's a good place to go if you have kids. Not my favorite but it's good. read more

Nomad Pizza - Pizza Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

We were at Princeton at needed a spot with Vegan/veg options and this place seemed to fit the bill. However, we may have caught them on an off day. The pizza had wayy too much flop. The server was needlessly rude to our party of 3. Sad and disappointed. read more

Some nights are meant for music and friends and sitting in the grass pretending the world is a little softer than it usually is. That's what we were after at the Princeton Shopping Center. A friend was performing in WOMENROCK! which is the kind of show that makes you think maybe we all still have some beauty left in us. Before the first chord was played and the sun had started to go down, we needed something to eat. Someone said "Let's get pizza from Nomad" and everyone nodded because it has that foodie glow around it. The kind of place that gets whispered about in brunch conversations and local blogs with too many adjectives. We figured it would be expensive but good. We were half right. When we got there it was chaos. Not the fun kind either. More the disorganized, distracted, hurry-up-and-wait kind. The meat slicer was broken, which meant they were out of several pizzas, all involving things like prosciutto and whatnot. Apparently one machine stood between us and several options on the menu. Life is like that sometimes. The pizzas only come in one size. That size is slightly too much for one person or not quite enough for two. A clever trick for the house, not so much for the customer. We got two pepperoni pies for our family. That's $42. I don't know what kind of pepperoni has to travel first class to justify that price but it didn't show up with a passport or a purpose. The pizza was fine. Let me say that again. It was fine. Dough was moist and chewy. The flavor was there. But the slices had all the structural integrity of a sad birthday balloon. They flopped over the moment you picked them up like they'd given up on life. No crispness. No backbone. Just sauce and cheese surrendering to gravity. And that's the thing. For $21 a pie and a reputation built on food pilgrimages and curated rusticity, I expected something better than "fine." I expected a little joy. I expected a slice I could hold in one hand without reenacting a pizza-based tragedy. There are too many great pizza places around Mercer County to settle for this again. We ate it. We did not suffer. But we will not return. The music in the shopping center's courtyard, by the way, was wonderful. read more

First time checking Nomad out and I really enjoyed my experience here. I had the Spicy Sausage Pizza and Vodka pie with Pepperoni, which is a must! The dough is nice and soft. Very chill environment, amazing service and delicious food....can't go wrong with that! Definitely will be visiting again soon to explore the rest of the menu. read more

I have been here several times they are. Casual atmosphere and service is pretty quick and it's definitely a good spot for great pizzas and I love the appetizers. Even though they are a pretty decent size I definitely would consider calling ahead if you have a large party . The Tartufo pie is delicious and probably my favorite. I always get the arugula salad but decided to go with Caesar this time around . We also ordered dessert pizzas this time around Nutella pizza is a must ! Swing by and give this place a try if you are looking for a new spot to try . read more

Pizzas tasted good as usual but experience was poor overall due to numerous fruit flies that kept hovering. We moved tables away from the window but it did not help. Then to top it off, we found a hair in our food - definitely was not ours because it was blonde/brown and we all have black hair. Of course they comped the pizza which we had only take one slice of but overall bad experience. read more

Tonight we had 2 special pizzas, Jersey Corn Pizza and Broccolini with Sausage and Peppers Pizza. Still the best, love that crust! read more

Love their pizza! Quick, thin crust & the shiitake pizza & the guanciale are always great.

Super great wood fired pizza. The salads are also fabulous- I love Nomad Pizza! Family friendly but also a nice place to take a dinner date. The first experience I had here was with an Italian Language and Culture course I attended through the Princeton Adult School. I guess that's a glowing example of the level of respect Nomad generates in the community. Just go! Nomad does not disappoint ! read more

We had Nomad pizza for our welcome reception the night before our wedding a few weeks ago at the Inn at Fox Briar Farm, and they were excellent! The pizza was all delicious, and our guests raved about the food. For a group of more than 100 people, we had more than enough pizza - and lots of options! - at all points of the evening - no one had to wait, and the service was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend Nomad to cater your next event! read more

The guanciale and tartufo were excellent, but the spicy sausage was disappointing. It seemed like it was mostly onions on top of the pie, with a sprinkle of sausage. Would've preferred doubling on the tartufo. In general the slices had poorly distributed toppings so some had max toppings, while others were basically plain. read more

Nomad Pizza - L-R, tartufo, spicy sausage, guanciale - Pizza Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

Amazing pizza! We ordered the arugula (2), pepperoni, and hot soppresata. 10/10. Waitress was outstanding too. Cool spot and bright.

I think that Nomad is one of those places that you either love, or don't. Their service is friendly, the atmosphere, while a little loud, is what I'd expect to see in a more modern version of a pizza joint. The real issue comes down to whether or not you like the type of pizza that they serve. Here's the deal: If you like a soft, chewy dough, then you're probably going to be happy here. If you're a fan of thin crusts that have a crust to them, then you're probably not going to by happy with your pie. I'm a thin crust guy, and to by up-front and honest, I'll take a Trenton style Tomato Pie over a pizza any day of the week. I'd ordered the Guanciale pizza and shared my wife's Arugula and Prosciutto pie. The Guanciale pie, seemed a little light in the main ingredient to me. There was guanciale on there, but it seemed more an added ingredient than the main attraction. I had pieces of the pie that had jam with no guanciale, which seemed to defeat the entire purpose of the combination. The Arugula pie was good, but five slices of prosciutto seems a small amount for the most expensive pie on the menu. I appreciate the place helping me try to keep my cholesterol down, but I expected a little more of those ingredients on my pies. They weren't bad, but they weren't what I'd hoped. Having a soft, breadlike texture didn't help. The salads were good, and didn't seem overpriced. I liked the arugula salad the best--it was simple and to the point. My philosophy on salads is that if the leafy greens are good enough, then you don't need to waste my time with a bunch of toppings. To that end, the Greek salad was a little busy, but was still good. The others at my table seemed to enjoy the Caesar salad, but to me Caesar salad needs its own Casca and Brutus to put an end to its existence--however, the others at the table, as mentioned before, seemed happy with Ceasar, so I kept my dagger sheathed. The meatball appetizer surprised me with its light texture and flavor, and it was definitely something I'd order again. As I mentioned, the service for our table was friendly, although it took a long time for our drink orders to be delivered. I like it that they had some interesting soda options instead of being held hostage to the usual Pepsi/Coke choices. All in all, our meal was fine, but the pizza is just not my type, and I was underwhelmed by the ones I'd ordered. read more

Service was great. The restaurant was flooded with children the night we went (seemed like some PTA night out or something) and so naturally, the restaurant was louder than I'd think is normal. We asked our server to move us to another table that was farther from the children and he nicely helped us with the request. We order 2 pizzas, the Guanciale and the Hot Soppressata. We enjoyed both but liked the Hot Soppressata a bit more. The tomato sauce is light and the spice from the meat is a perfect cut/pairing with the light sauce. We also loved the sweet fig jam on the Guanciale and thought it was great with the salty mozzarella. The dough is sooo fluffy and perfectly bouncy. Would definitely love to come back the next time I'm in Princeton again! read more

It's hard to find good pizza, it's even harder to find good vegan pizza! Nomad Pizza has the best vegan pizza I've had in a long time. The vegan "cheese" they use almost taste like the real thing - not fake and "plasticy" like other places I've been. Nomad's service is spot on, the vibe is casual and low-key, and everybody seems to be having a wonderful time. read more

Throughout my years in Princeton my preferences in the pizza places have changed, obviously being a complete opinion I believe that Nomads has always been a truly great conterder both pizza and customer services have always been been great. My regular order is the pepperoni and the Nutella pizzas which are absolutely phenomenal. Always packed nothing more to say but good looking interior design and nice to dine in. So the only reason to not give them 5/5 stars is that I personally adore a good char on a pizza but my family do not. Great pizza place definitely worth it my eyes. read more

Love Nomad! They serve artisan pizza so it's not your run of the mill pizza restaurant. It can get a bit loud at times.

Fantastic pizzas. We each got our own and shared with each other. Took home the leftovers and enjoyed the pies for a second time.

This is by far the best vegan pizza around. They also put the vegan options right on the menu like any other pizza option, so it doesn't feel like you're asking for anything weird or different. read more

We, a group of about 15 people, went there for a friend's birthday in March, 2024. Parking is plentiful and we had a reservation---so we did not have to wait. We ordered several pizzas. The ambiance is good and the service is nice. The menu is fascinating and their pizzas are somewhat unique. Some of us are vegetarians and they had plenty of vegetarian options. They have gluten-free options though we did not order any such. We liked the taste of the pizzas that we ordered. Kids were very happy. Would happily go there again. read more

Nomad Pizza - Their brick oven - Pizza Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

Great atmosphere and service. Parking can be a little frustrating since it's a strip mall with a supermarket and popular bakery nearby. Good size on the inside but gets busy fast. It was packed for a Thursday. Pricy. Pizzas range $19-$22 and wines were $30+ for the bottle. Everything was good. Bruschetta was a small portion. The arugula salad was great. The margherita was good but pretty plain. It didn't have enough basil on it and even though the crust was burned, the bottom was floppy. The seasonal spicy peach pizza was my favorite - it was super unusual. The jalapeños, peaches and arugula all went well together. The Tartufo is good but it's an acquired taste and barely pizza. No red sauce. The egg is unusual. The truffle is balanced and not overpowering. My favorite was the Calabrian spicy one. Bathroom is small and clean. Chairs are all metal but mismatched designs and sizes which is frustrating. My purse kept falling off my chair so I hung it on my friends. My friend mentioned how his chair was really small and uncomfortable. read more

Went here on a Saturday at about 5.. a nice amount of busyness.. not overwhelmingly packed, but lively enough. Had a nice mix of pop playlist lightly playing in the background... not too much where you couldn't talk or were distracted. I heard a couple faves, so I was happy lol. The ambience is I would say a bit upscale casual.. the kitchen is open, so you can witness the magic being made. Very friendly waitstaff... hello Nick! And management was just as nice... hello Shane! We were seated quickly... my friend ordered a salad with mixed greens, pomegranate, grapefruit, oranges.. with I believe feta cheese? It was nice with a light dressing. My pizza of choice which I would eat over and over again was guanciale--spinach, mozzarella, fig jam, garlic, pepper, and parmesan... it was not tomato based.. it was perfect. The brick oven gave the crust a nice char... and was perfect, not soggy at all.. a great combo of savory and sweet, just how I like it. I opted for a cappuccino to close out my meal, and it was just how I wanted it to be. Would I come back? Yes, if I'm in the area.. nice early dinner option.. and family friendly. read more

Solid pizza pies and a wonderful patio for outdoor dining. I like the eclectic mix of ingredients in their specialty pizzas. They give you a variety of flavors that you otherwise would not see in a pizza. The Soppressata pizza with spicy pepperoni and a hint of honey is very delicious. We added mushrooms which enhanced the flavor. The Arugula pizza comes with prosciutto and was equally tasty. Service was a little spotty as it was a busy night but the wait staff tried their best. Several pizzas arrived later in the meal and one didn't arrive at all. They apologized provided the pizza and then discounted the bill. Kudos for handling the poor service. read more

We have been eating at Nomad's for years. From the Truck, Princeton and Lambertville but as of today we will no long spend a dime at Nomad. We were there to eat pizza NOT have a political lesson. We wanted regular pizza NOT POLITICAL PIZZA!!! read more

Terrible service. Waited a solid 10 minutes before I was greeted by a server. Another 5 minutes for my iced team to be brought to me which was just in a bottle. Mind it, I was a table/party of one. Wine is only sold by the bottle. The greek salad was okay; contained boiled egg which I thought was strange for a greek salad. The pizza was okay. Good flavor but soft, flimsy, chewy dough. It needed at least another seven minutes in the oven. Overall, would not recommend. read more

Nomad Pizza - Sassy Vegan and Margherita - Pizza Near Me - Princeton, New Jersey

Overpriced, disappointing "pizza". Mostly puffy bread and weak on toppings. More like focaccia bread than anything else. Wasn't planning on a serving of their political views on the side either with the "NO ICE" sign on the front door. The greeting sign was not appropriate in a dining spot where neutrality should be the welcome. read more

I've had pizza from Nomad before when others have ordered it or through their food truck, which is amazing. However, this was the first time I'd dined in, and sadly, the service was pretty lacking. My friend and I walked in in a Tuesday at lunchtime and tried to stay out of the way in the very small, crowded space in front of the host station. Two people were already waiting, with no staff in sight. A waitress passed by, said something unintelligible (seriously, when I asked my friend if she had understood her, both she and one of the others waiting agreed it was nonsense). When she passed by again after a minute, she said "one sec," and never came back. Finally, a male staff member came, took a to-go order for the first person waiting, then asked if we also wanted to place an order. I told him we were looking to sit down to eat. We sat, and we waited a long time for a server to even acknowledge us, even though the restaurant was fairly empty. Once our server arrived, he was pretty good about taking our order, though it did take a long time to get the bill at the end. The arugula salad was FANTASTIC! Seriously, so good. I could eat that twice a week. The special pizza I ordered with spicy sausage was also delicious, with one minor caveat -- my first slice had a few hard bits that I had to spit out -- looked like bone or cartilage -- but that was the only food hiccup. Overall, the flavors are good, but I think I'll stick to takeout orders going forward. read more

For a place as crowded and hectic as Nomad especially on a weeknight, I was pleased with the service and time it took to prepare our order (~20 mins). The pizza itself was delicious and filling for one person - somehow the bread portion is so soft after coming out of the oven and it really hit the spot. Waiter got lost a few times in the chaos and had to be reminded a few times to bring some items and the check, though nothing unusual for a busy place like here. read more

This is really good place for pizza. We got their sweet and spicy and it was so good. The flavors work so well. The magherita was also very good.

Nomad Pizza is always such a treat, I find myself coming back here every time I'm in the area! They have delicious wood-fired pizza and casual, relaxing vibes, making it a great spot for date nights or outings with family or friends. The Guanicale pizza is my absolute fave for a slightly sweet and savory pie - the drizzle of fig jam surprisingly goes so well with the shaved guanicale. Or if you like truffle, the Tartufo pizza is definitely a winner here. Love that they have a vegan option as well, and they have different daily specials if you want to mix it up. Side note: I've attended a wedding where they had a Nomad pizza truck at the end of the night, and it was amaaaazing. So good. read more
