South Mountain Creamery adds farm-fresh pizza to its indulgent menu

Craving something salty and sweet? South Mountain Ice Cream Shop & Pizza has you covered. The downtown Frederick eatery opened in 2019 as an offshoot of South Mountain Creamery, which has roots dating back 40-plus years on its farm in Middletown. In Frederick, residents can get a scoop of South Mountain’s famous ice cream, made from the milk of their own cows, or level up and try one of the restaurant’s over-the-top Mountain Milkshakes, just released this September. Also new to the shop is another one of life’s great indulgences. Pizza is served as 14-inch pies with made-from-scratch sauce and crust. Chef Scott Shatzer had the experience necessary to execute the vision, having worked at pizza shops in the past. He suggests a pie with all-beef Italian sausage, also made from South Mountain Creamery’s cows. And South Mountain offers just about every topping you can imagine — for ice cream or pizza. Swing by on a Friday, when you can try a boozefilled milkshake and partake in trivia night.
