Nomad Pizza began when husband and wife team Chris and Louise Olivarius, along with partner Thomas Preston — the team behind Glasgow west-end institution Firebird — decided to take the wildly popular Firebird pizza recipe mobile, rocking up at festivals and other events in their Piaggio Ape mini van with the all-important wood-fired pizza oven installed. After touring for many years now, Nomad Pizza has become a firmly established staple of the UK festival scene, revered for its imaginative ingredients and dedication to the perfect crispy-chewy, expertly-seasoned dough.
Downstairs in the Acid Bar, guests can grab a slice of Nomad’s signature Detroit-style pizzas alongside daily soup specials, skin-on fries, big salads, sandwiches and breakfast rolls from Monday to Saturday, 10am - 6pm.
The Garden Terrace forms part of SWG3’s ongoing community greenspace project. Situated behind SWG3’s main warehouse building, 3,200m² of wasteland has been redesigned in consultation with neighbours, resident artists, staff and the wider local community into a shared space to grow, plant, play and create.

An ambitious plan, the SWG3 vision will unlock not only the potential of the SWG3 site and its people, but also the surrounding areas and beyond, using arts, creativity and nature to help tackle poverty and climate change.
The Garden Terrace is open from 5pm-10pm. Children and dogs welcome. Tables of six and over can book by emailing [email protected].
