Ya’ll already know I LOVE pizza, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that I’m reviewing yet another pizza restaurant here in Arizona.  What’s even funnier?  I already have another to review after this one!

While driving around our new location here in Arizona I came upon a place called Naked Pizza. Unfortunately it was not yet open but I was intrigued enough to do some research.

The concept behind their pizza is that it’s all natural.  For instance, their Ancestral Blend dough contains prebiotic agave fiber and probiotics.  There is no added sugar, high fructose corn syrup, or hydrogenated oil. With that being said, they are forthcoming and say it is not a “diet pizza”.

Sadly the location near us had already opened and since closed.  The good news: there’s another location within 45 minutes our home. Even better: they offered Daiya cheese. I definitely wanted to give it a try.

We decided to head to Naked Pizza on a Friday night and found the location to be in a strip mall. We soon found that the restaurant wasn’t really a restaurant but more of a storefront where you placed and picked up your order, with the exception of several small tables just outside the door.

Upon entering the location was open and bright with their menu posted largely on the wall.

Basically you choose the size of the pizza, crust thickness, choice of sauce, choice of cheese. and additional toppings.  As with most pizza places there are “specialty” pizzas to choose from too.

Within 15 minutes of ordering our pizzas were ready and we chowed down.I definitely noticed a difference versus regular ol’ pizza in the crust alone.  The ancestral blend was definitely grainy in texture and different than what I was used to.  With that being said, it was pretty darn delicious.  As always, when vegan cheese is an option I’m pretty happy about it.

I think Naked Pizza could grow in many ways if a few ideas were considered.  Have a more spacious area for dine-in eating and provided plates and utensils for those interested in dining in.  We literally had to eat out of our boxes since no plates were provided.  Lastly, nothing to do with their food….I’m not sure what the deal is with their website being a “.biz” instead of “.com” I’m sure there’s a valid reason for this but I would say this cannot help with their exposure.

Considering their location is so far away from our home I highly doubt we’ll make any special trips to visit Naked Pizza, but it is nice to know that I have one more vegan friendly pizza option in the Phoenix area.

Keep Smiling and Be Grateful =)
