| - It's true, it is tough to find. Even my GPS was a little confused. But, my experience here was def. worth it. I had no idea what to expect, I had never heard of Noce before I saw it pop on my Yelp feed. I did a double take- "a high end pizza place near me that I haven't heard of?". So after reviewing the menu online, I pulled the trigger. I ordered the Tai Chicken pizza and the Spinaci salad. I was offered a free slice upon talking to the staff while I waited for my ordered, and eventually I agreed on taking a slice of the Rustic Roma Pizza home. I also added a Caesar Salad to my order based on the look of it.
First the salads. The Spanaci was good- spinach, red onion, feta, tomatoes and sunflower seeds. The house made Basalmic was great. The Caesar was also impressive, with a flavorful house made crouton/cracker, romaine, parmesan, and a lemon to squeeze on the salad. But again, the salad dressing was great. It is very strong, so a little goes a long way. Extremely flavorful.
Now the pies. The take home piece warmed through was really impressive. The Rustic Roma is a really well balanced slice with garlic and feta and olives mixing well together. It's a great white pizza!
The Tai Chicken was good. I was looking for more of the the peanut flavor the menu promised, but the chicken, red peppers, toasted sesame seeds and the chopped green onion provided plenty of flavor on their own. Red pepper flake gave it a nice little kick.
The crust on both pizzas were very crispy under the cheese, and nice and chewy at the ends.
The place boasts that is a gourmet pizza shop, and it is. But it comes at a cost. The salads run between 6 and 7 dollars, and the pies run between $15 for a small cheese to $29 for a large specialty pizza. They also offer pizza by the slice, daily and in the evening which is a nice amenity. I will be returning as a customer when I am looking for a pizza that isn't your normal pepperoni/sausage that is my normal go to.
