Small update to my previous review. We've had the Pretty in Pink like 4 times now and it's been a little different each time. This time it was very spicy and the people in our group that can't handle spice couldn't eat it. Finally tried the Children of the Corn and thought it was really good.
Looking for a bite to eat before heading to a Utah football game, my husband and I decided to try Nomad East. Our waitress was extremely kind and engaging, offering wonderful suggestions and also some recommendations for local things to do while we were visiting Salt Lake City. To start, we decided to try the esquites as well as the tomatoes and melon salad. Both were extremely flavorful and full of fresh ingredients. I could have easily eaten several portions of both and been content. For our pizza, we decided to try the Popeye's pizza. We both agreed that it was a unique pizza that neither one of us would probably experience anywhere else, and we did not regret it. To finish, we tried the lemon custard, and it was the perfect tangy way to end our meal. I thoroughly enjoyed this little neighborhood eatery and if I were a local, this would be one of my favorite go to places.
I love Nomad East! Been here multiple times but this time I went with the burger. There aren't many gluten free options at Nomad East but I typically make do with their salads, Bavette steak, or their burger on lettuce wrap. Nomad East is cozy and warm. The vibes in there are cool and relaxed. Staff is great and quick to respond to your needs. Though I haven't been able to try their pizza, I know that everyone LOVES the pizza flavors they offer. I recently bought a few pizzas here for a friend because I knew that typically most people are very satisfied with Nomad East pizza. She was very happy with her pizza! One thing to note is that their wedge salad with ranch is INCREDIBLE. You guys...I could drink that ranch. It is a perfect balance of sweet and salty. Get it. It's worth it. Also, their family style salad with golden raisins is delicious. I could eat both of these salads often. My picture isn't anything special...but look at those pickles...YUM.
Came here for a solo dinner when I was in town for work. The place is super cute and quaint but bold, fun menu. I went with a glass of the house red blend red, the wedge salad and the Roni Boy Pizza. The wine was a little on the sour side, the salad was very good but drenched in dressing and the pizza had the perfect dough but marinara sauce was a bit too sweet for my liking. Unfortunately the service was not the best-- besides taking my order and dropping off my food, I didn't see my server at all. I know it's been around for a bit and they were busy when I went, I'm thinking, maybe it was just an off night-- will give it another try next time I'm in town.
Quick dinner, big flavor! We found Nomad East on Yelp and were excited to try it--especially for the pizza, which everyone seems to rave about. Parking in the area is a bit limited, but if you're determined, you can snag a spot nearby. We came on a Friday without a reservation (would recommend one!), but luckily were seated within five minutes. It's community-style seating, and we were told someone might join us, which we actually loved--it felt very European. We were heading to a show, so this was a quick dinner. Started with iced tea (served in a mason jar--nice touch!) and shared the wedge salad. That salad was huge and loaded with goodies--bacon, blue cheese, super crisp lettuce. Really satisfying. Then we built our own pizza: prosciutto, olives, basil, mushrooms. Every bite was delicious. The crust was on point--crispy, chewy, flavorful. Not a single complaint. The place was bustling, but everything moved efficiently, and the vibe was fun and lively. Service was minimal due to the quick turnaround, but we had what we needed. Looking forward to going back when we have more time to explore the rest of the menu--it all sounded super fresh and tempting!
The pizza was outstanding but I have to give this place 4 stars due to the extremely long wait for our food. We sat outside and I'm not sure if this means preference is not given to us but it took over an hour between ordering and receiving our pizza. Nonetheless the pizza was great, just not necessarily worth the wait.
I had been to their old north temple spit a few times but this was my first visit to the east location. It's a little small but it's cozy. There is ADA parking. We were greatly warmly and sat. I had the wedge salad and it was honestly one of the better ones I have had. Nice fresh crisp lettuce, salty smoky bacon, pepita seeds for that crunch and fresh made ranch. It was delicious. Honestly would go back for that. We each ordered a pizza and they were piping hot and tasty. No complaints here. I love a good solid pizza. Chefs kiss was the sweet tea! Fresh brewed and they serve it with a little simple syrup. Server was pleasant and easy to chat with. Honestly writing this, I think I need to go back.
Great service and great food. I really liked the outdoor seating of the restaurant. The wedge salad, fingerling potatoes, and the pretty in pink pizza were amazing.
Damm, this place is fire!! I can't even tell you the menu choices are so hard to decide from, it's a bit of the beaten path but worth it. I'm telling you, go there! They are opening in daybreak and I hope the menu is more like this spot vs. the one off of 13th south. The screen there is great and you can tell they are down to be there and support the business in a great way! The other location is just not the same! Just sayin!! Go there, you will not be disappointed and the beer is by unita and it's bomb!!
Seating was quick. The atmosphere was nice. Service time was reasonable for making the pizza fresh. Recommend if you have not tried this type of pizza.
Cute spot with a no frills interior. Patio looks inviting but it was winter and too cold for outdoor seating during my visit. Parking is limited. Full bar, reservations are available but not necessary during the week. Servers were kind and prompt. Water stayed full and we were assisted quickly. Pizza itself was ok... crust was soft in the middle and toppings were uneven. I was really hoping for better quality from this place but it was fun to try.
This spot is always dependable, consistent and delicious. I ventured off and got a new pizza, usually I do the Roni Boy (love the hot honey and peppers) or the Betty White (the golden raisins and arugula combo is insane) and it wasn't my favorite, but my friend loved it, so. The service is ALWAYS a toss up, slow, gotta remind them of sides, refills, etc often but as long as you aren't in a rush it's easy to get past once the food comes out. Parking is horrif, but if you don't mind a lil neighborhood stroll it makes for a lovely evening.
Such a cozy spot with beautiful decor and ambience, from book shelves to plants galore. I love watching them prep and cook the pizza in the beautiful oven while snacking on the house bread and smoked salmon salad. Their dishware is also so cute and unique. The Marguerita pizza and the smoked salmon salad are my favorite. The pizza dough is an excellent thin crust but with enough weight to not get soggy or droop with toppings. A great spot to take out of towners!
I loved my experience at Nomad East! Their pizza combinations are incredibly creative, and everything feels thoughtfully put together. I ordered the Sweet Italian, and at $22 it was an amazing value. The pizza was easily big enough to share with another person and still leave both of us completely full. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and every bite was delicious. Also, don't skip their house hot sauce it goes so well with the pizza read more

Visited this restaurant with my service dog, who is fully trained and has been with me for years to assist with my disability. The moment we walked in, the hostess requested "documentation" and "proof" that my dog was a legitimate service animal. I explained that under the ADA, there is no "official documentation" and they are not allowed to ask for any paperwork, certification, or ID for service animals. They can only ask two questions: 1) Is this a service animal required because of a disability? and 2) What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? Instead, this felt like a interrogation, and was treated as though I was trying to scam them with a fake pet. It was humiliating, stressful, and a clear violation of federal law. My service dog was calm and well-behaved the entire time, the managements short commings in staff training ruined what should have been a simple meal out. I left without eating and took my dollars elsewhere. I do not blame the hostess as I can guarantee she was directed to ask for "documentation". The blame lies completely with management being uneducated themselves reference federal law governing service dogs. DO BETTER... read more

How dare I not try Nomad East until now! I feel like I just learned something the entire world has known for years - Nomad East is a STANDOUT! It's got the adorable neighborhood-restaurant vibe, with a splash of bougie Yalecrest persona. The smoked salmon salad is my new favorite salad. No joke, you have to try it. The cucumber salad was light and refreshing (honestly, not sure it's worth $14.00) but I digress. And the pizza is fantastic! If you're going to be a pizza place, it better be good. And Nomad knows how to pizza! If you've been living under a rock like me, learn from my mistakes and go to Nomad East IMMEDIATELY. You won't regret it. read more

My son and I were visiting the University of Utah for orientation when we stopped into Nomad East for dinner. It was a delicious meal, the ambiance was great, and the service was friendly. We sat on the patio which was lovely. We shared the Roni-Boy pizza and a wedge salad. Both were terrific! The seeds on the salad were a yummy addition to a classic. We will definitely be back on our next trip to SLC. read more

4 Stars Nomad East offers excellent food in an inviting atmosphere. The themed pizzas are super fun, especially if you catch the references! The overall vibe makes it a great spot to hang out. However, my experience with the service was a letdown. Our server, Isabella, was not friendly--her attitude came off as rude and borderline offensive. It definitely left a sour note on an otherwise great meal. I'd recommend ordering to go and skipping the dine-in service if she's your server. Food's fantastic, but service could be much better. Isabella be better this is a customer service position, maybe reflect that. read more
I love coming to eat pizza at this place. I tried their seasonal dessert, Mexican Hot Chocolate Pot de Crème. It was ok, just for a few dips, but then it started to be oversweet. I thought it was going to be something different, but I think they just melted the Mexican chocolate bar. I didn't find it unique and interesting in the flavor. read more

Came on a Monday night and waited about 30 minutes for a table for 3. The location and interior of Nomad East is incredible and makes us wish we lived in the neighboring homes. We ordered two pizzas and a wedge salad to share and had leftover pizza to take home with us. The wedge salad was definitely our favorite item. So many toppings and such a tasty buttermilk dressing. The pretty in pink pizza had a nice kick from the peppers, but our favorite pizza was the die brusselin with sausage instead of spam. We look forward to eating here again and bringing our friends and family with us. read more
Fresh food and great presentation! Everything tasted as described on the menu and I left satisfied. I think this place is more suitable as a date spot or a casual group lunch/dinner. I'd say if you should pass on anything it's the basque n glory pizza. I thought it was a bit soggy and the flavors didn't mend very well. It sounded really appetizing but this was a group vote for worst pizza amongst the three we ordered. Everything else I ate was great. Service was alright. The waiter seemed confused at our arrival and was very slow at everything she did. That would be my only criticism. read more

Very easy to park. Super clean establishment. Server was friendly. The restaurant was not super big so keep in mind to make a reservation when dining here but I'm sure it gets busy. The wedge salad was delicious. One portion was enough order for the three of us to share. We ordered two pizzas: Figgy Azalea and Shroom Doom The dough was magnificent and the flavors were good. The only thing that can be done differently is an adjustment in the amount of the fig sauce squirted on top of the pizza and the olive tapenade. It was just too much of both and there was a large amount of the juice from the olive tapenade dumped on our pizza. Overall would try again. read more
PHENOMENAL pizza! Wow, we were blown away! It's a quaint little restaurant with bar seating, patio seating, and some seating indoors. I believe this is where Eggs in the City used to be if I'm remembering correctly? We split a single serving of the family/house salad and WOW it was packed with flavor. The single serving was $8 and was the perfect appetizer for two people. It had so many veggies in it squash, radishes, SO much goodness and yumminess. The dressing was light and wasn't overpowering. It was delicious. All of their pizzas are one size, and are personal size - I believe 12"? They each had six slices, and we each got our own pizza and it was the perfect amount of food for each of us. I left with some leftovers that I ate later in the day, and they heated up great. The margherita pizza was AMAZING. So much flavor for such a simple pizza. This is definitely one of my favorite pizza places in SLC, and I'm looking forward to coming back. read more
Upon my wife's recommendation--based in her love for pizza--we decided to finally give Nomad East a try. I've heard a lot of good things prior to trying out Nomad. We looked at the menu and the decision was easy to make: Brussels, Pretty in Pink pizza for me and Get Rich or Die Brusselin' for the wife. The Brussels dish was amazing. Tasted so fresh and the Lemon flavor throughout the entire dish. A true delight and perfect shareable appetizer to start the meal. Shoutout to the crispy pieces of onion as well, game changer. Pretty in pink was AMAZING! Nomad was generous with the Stracciatella, which is always a plus. Pink Sauce tasted amazing, not too salty, and the addition of the Fresno's gave the pizza just the right amount of hit. Get Rich or die Brusselin' was also a great pizza with lots of flavors all combined in the same place. Sometimes that combination worked, and sometimes it didn't. The service was nice, our server was very friendly. The restaurant is clean and very welcoming. I can't wait to come back. read more

I really love this place for a quick or leisurely lunch. The wedge will blow your socks off. Don't make the mistake of sharing it, because trust me, you want it all. The pizzas are largely delicious with the - not always on the menu - Children of the Corn being my very favorite. It's almost worth going just in case they are featuring it. The patio is heated in the winter to perfection and the ambiance is natural light meets traditional smokey local pizza joint. My one complaint - they don't have fountain soda. It's a crime to eat a pizza without a bubbly soda. You're in Utah, get yourself a soda fountain, please - and make it Coke! read more

What a let down. The service was terrible. Waitresses and hostess looked extremely overworked/unhappy. It was incredibly cold inside. The bathroom door was broken. We waited 40 minutes for our pizza on a Sunday afternoon. Pizza came out to be a dissapoinment. It was just all right, but not worth it's price. read more

Nomad East has phenomenal food. All of the staff members were very kind and attentive. I love that there's indoor and outdoor seating with a garage door separating the two but providing the option for combining for larger parties. It's at the heart of a nice neighborhood. It was clean and well decorated. I look forward to the next time I go. I had the Roni Boy pizza, family salad and potatoes. read more
Great service Really creative pizza. Interesting flavor combinations with their pizza toppings. We ordered Roni Boy Pink lade Shroom of Doom All three were a roller coaster of flavor and curious medley of aroma and taste. We were impressed with the speed of service and how fast the pizza was brought to our table of six. read more
Solid place . I was looking for the best pizza in SLC and embarked on a mission to find the best pizza in town. I wanted to sit inside on a warm day, but most of the booths are "reserved" for larger parties. Service was average/good. Some of the guys making pizza -- to be quite honest -- gave off the "dirty hippie" look .....I won't lie. The majority of the staff gave off the "nomad" vibe indeed. I always hope and pray these guys washed their hands before tossing the dough........just sayin. The other thing i can't stand is when the glass door at a restaurant is loaded with smudges/fingerprints. Nothing says questionable attention to cleanliness/food handling quite like a filthy front door. YUCK! Pizza was good - I opted for the Children of the Corn pizza for $18 and the famous salmon salad. Both were good - not mind blowing mind you, but all around decent. Children of the corn pizza is definitely on the slightly sweeter side with the garlic cream sauce. It was fun to give it a try. Lots of families here -- tons of kids -- not the most relaxing place on earth, but this place is far away from downtown and nested in residential area - what do you expect? I would like to come back here and try the pizzas with red sauce (Betty White) one more time. They sure looked good......... read more

How many people does one pizza feed? Thanks!
It's not a huge pizza but it can easily feed 2 people. It's bigger than a personal sized pizza but too small for more than 2 people without adding salads or other options.
Would I be harshing the vibe here if I came with a baby and a well behaved 3 year old?
Not at all! Especially since they have outdoor seating, weather permitting, that's great for kids. I take my kids there all the time! They love it!
