Review from Joi B.
I can appreciate a lot about Naked Pizza.
I'm not so sure about the name. I keep thinking of people eating pizza naked, I can't help it. I don't like thinking about such practices.
Onto what I do appreciate...
I appreciate the health angle (though FYI, there's plenty of non healthy options, if that's what you prefer). I appreciate all the crust/sauce/cheese options (I'm picky when it comes to pizza... it's gotta be a thin crust and not too much cheese) and I appreciate the easy peasy ordering online (I hate calling in orders. I can't really explain why. Also, if there's a paper trail, I don't have to deal with they forgetting my mushrooms *and* olives *and* extra sauce).
I appreciate the fact that they deliver. (This may shock you, but sometimes I can't bear to leave the house).
But...
This pizza tastes so much like Papa John's that I just can't get past it. Perhaps that says it all.
In a pinch, I'd order from here again, but it wouldn't be a number one choice.Listed in: Delivery. Blessed Delivery.

Review from A Q.
New Orleans, LA
Have had this pizza three times, and it keeps getting worse. Chewy, heavy, flavorless, and often undercooked dough, cheap cheese, flavorless sauce, decent toppings, and in spite of all this, nice employees.

Review from Micah W.
If you want pizza that you bend in half, is covered in cheese, is dripping grease, but oh so yummy- this is not your pizza. And if you want deep dish, have to eat with a fork and knife, covered in tons and tons of toppings- this is not your pizza.
But if you want pizza but don't feel like stuffing you face with tons of fattening food, ruining that workout you just did, and feeling guilty after- this IS your pizza.
It's yummy. It's full of fiber. And the toppings are all fresh. Not too much cheese. And they give you some good vegetarian and vegan options.
Delivery only, but it's super fast and is piping hot upon arrival. The price is a bit high for delivery pizza, and they are not super generous with the toppings, but for an occasional pizza that wont make you feel like crap- it's worth it.
I wish they had it in Atlanta...Listed in: NOLA State of Mind

Review from Jean-paul V.
New Orleans, LA
My new favorite. Affordable, fresh, healthier than most and great service. If the crust had a little sumthin' sumthin' spice then I'd be all over 5 stars.
The way the interior has been remodeled in the last year reboots the concept and reinvigorates the branding. Way to go Naked! -
Review from Haley S.
I admit I was a sceptic. Healthy pizza? Hmm.
But, one day I wanted pizza delivered, and I'm just tired of Reginellis. I don't always want a really bread-y crust.
I have officially made them my go-to pizza delivery place. Why? I'll tell ya why!
First, they are fast! It's been less than 30 minutes each time I have called. That beats even nasty Dominos. Reginellis is usually at least 45 minutes.
Second, it's delicious. I have tried the ham and pineapple and the tomato basil several times. I would recommend both. My only recommendation is to ask them to bake them well done. They tend to be a little to soft/wet otherwise.
My kid who usually only ever eats the toppings, eats the crust. She NEVER eats pizza crust. That in itself is a shining endorsement. -
Review from Neona R.
Portland, OR
Without a doubt, the WORST pizza I have ever had. Worse than Domino's, worse than Pizza Hut, worse than any pizza I've ever bought frozen. I don't know what the hell people in New Orleans consider pizza, but this is not pizza. It's undercooked dough, with what is supposed to be cheese but actually is much closer in flavor, and consistency, to elmer's glue, with whatever you choose to put on top. I am deeply confused by the rave reviews.

Review from Heather J.
Waterloo, IA
Love, love, love this concept...and they deliver to CBD...delish. I stopped by once & picked up a pie & I ordered delivery once...I would say this pizza keeps hot easily. The quality of the toppings & dough were excellent & generally quite fresh.
Now if they would just come to Iowa in my own little village housing all my favorites..which of course right now only exists in my mind. -
Review from Amaliya L.
New Orleans, LA
I love the concept of this brand and the pizza is fresh and tasty. However, the "Ancestral Blend" dough has got to go or at least be toned down. 6 grams of fiber in one slice is too much or its the wrong kind of fiber.
Our house calls this Colon Blow pizza. -
Review from Cristy A.
New Orleans, LA
So, I was tight on time and I knew that I would not be able to call after I got out of class, pick up the pizza and be where I needed to be. On my way to class, around 4:30, I called and asked if they could have a pizza ready for me to be picked up at 6:15 - not a common request, but I did not see why they could not do it. The guy that was on the phone was really nice and said that it wouldn't be a problem. After I get out of class, I head straight there at exactly 6:15 and it was hot and ready. I liked that they accommodated to a special request without a problem.
The pizza itself is pretty good. I ordered half "Omnivore" and half plain cheese with mushrooms. DELICIOUS!
The place itself is really small, but that doesn't really matter since you're not eating there anyway. It's a cute joint and very clean. Everyone was very professional. -
Review from Amanda D.
New Orleans, LA
Love the idea, disappointed with the execution. I found the crust texture too grainy to be enjoyable. The toppings were good, but the tomato sauce was exceptionally bland. I feel like I should give them a second chance because of the health benefit and how many other people love the pizza, but I just can't bring myself to waste an opportunity ordering in just to be disappointed again.

Review from Sammi D.
New Orleans, LA
Ok, so in my opinion, as it pertains to pizza, this is as good as it gets. This place is unbelievable and they have somehow mastered healthy pizza. They don't put sugar in their sauce, no glutens in the dough, no preservatives, etc. Everything is all natural..... or Naked as they call it. My absolute favorite is the bbq chicken pizza. Of course they make their own bbq sauce and it is so good. Just the perfect balance between all of the flavor components. When I was working on Carrollton, I would have them deliver to me about three times a week for a few months.... and I still wasn't sick and tired of eating it! It's no wonder their franchise and concept has spread like wildfire! Bravo Naked Pizza, Bravo.

Review from George V.
New Orleans, LA
In auto terms this place is.... a 1965 Caddy with the big fins! Excellent!
I had my first Naked Pizza last night. I have eaten pizza naked before and always burned myself, but this naked pizza idea is genius! I didn't burn myself, didn't gross out my neighbors / guests while eating it, and this morning I feel like Super Man. I can't wait until they offer Naked Ice Cream. -
Review from Henry F.
Waldorf, MD
The first time I learned of Naked Pizza I drove to the address thinking that I could sit down and have some Pizza. When I arrived I found out that the place was carryout only. Someone needs to clarify (on their Yelp page) that this is a carryout only place.
The Pizza tasted good, and the ingredients made it taste different, but it was still not a true New York Style Pizza. Dont get me wrong, I liked it better than Domino's or Little Ceasars, but I have had better New York Style Pizza with a thin, crispy crust, and real, full of flavor Italian cheeses.
I will continue to order from Naked Pizza until I find a better pie in New Orleans. -
Review from Kate H.
New Orleans, LA
I can't eat any other pizza anymore. I used to order from other places around town but once I tried their Super-Biotic at a friends' house it was all over. So delicious. And when else do you actually feel healthy after eating pizza?
I love love love their thin crust and fresh ingredients. It's funny, at first I felt emotionally like I was just compromising and choosing the healthier option, doing something better for myself, whatever. I hadn't had "normal" pizza in several months, and then went to a friend's house where I had a slice from a place I used to love, and I was shocked to realize how greasy it was an how sluggish I felt afterward. And I am not one of those super health-obsessed people; I love my gourmet eats and a proponent of olive oil, butter and all things delicious. But after having Naked Pizza, for a few months and then having the other stuff, I was shocked at how truly unpalatable the excess greasiness was, and I really missed my ancestral blend thin crust.
The best part? Two years ago they delivered to my house, but then they changed their delivery area so they stopped at the end of the next block and wouldn't deliver to me anymore. ( I even asked if I could stand on the corner of their delivery area and wait for them. No dice.)
But then just a few months ago, they changed it again and once again deliver to my house. They're always nice and they're lightning freaking fast, even when we had persnickety orders like no dairy and gluten free and all those shenanigans that friends request.
If only they delivered to my work in the French Quarter, I'd be the happiest of campers, but I understand--who really wants to fight French Quarter traffic?
So yes, in my opinion, they're stinkin' delicious, better than normal pizza with like 1/3 of the calories, an awesome local business to support, have really cool branding and a brilliant social media campaign, and when I'm hungover to the point of being unable to leave my house and am jonesing for pizza, they'll bring it to me in less than a 1/2 hour. Seriously. New BFFs. -

I really enjoy their pizza but they no longer deliver to the Warehouse Dist/Downtown area. Bummer.

Review from Liz B.
New Orleans, LA
Naked Pizza, which is self branded as "simply the world's healthiest pizza," was simply good! Started in New Orleans with the idea that pizza can be healthy AND delicious, this joint is taking fresh to the next level. No preservatives, no high fructose corn syrup, no added sugar, no trans fats. Oh yeah, and they also grow their own basil in the storefront. Their slogan, think before you eat.
After checking out their website and ultimately following them on Twitter (which they highly publicize on a huge billboard outside of their store) I learned about some great deals including two medium pizzas for $15 with two toppings each. SOLD! Greg got the pepperoni and sausage (so manly) on their original 12-grain (prebiotic fiber) crust and I ordered the skinny 12-grain crust with mushrooms and fire-roasted red peppers. For those who like to play with their food, I suggest building your own on their super user-friendly website. You can customize everything from the amount of cheese to the sauce to the timing. In case you run into any problems though, their staff is very friendly. Our pizza was ready to pick-up in 30 minutes.
Overall the pizza was good, not blow me out of the water good, but it was fresh and tasty! I would totally order from here again. Keep your eye out for their great deals and new locations opening all over the USA! -

Great pizza & definitely pride in their art. Fast delivery is a plus!

Review from Christy L.
New Orleans, LA
I'm going on record by saying Naked Pizza is the best pie I've ever had.
I don't get into that whole "deep dish, NY style, thin crust, Chicago style is the best blah blah blah" debate and quite frankly I could care less. The reason Naked wins in my book is:
1. Stupidly fresh ingredients. You like fresh basil? It doesn't get fresher than literally picked and put on your pie.
2. Innovative ingredients. All of their crusts are made with probiotics and it tastes phenomenal. I'm a health food junkie but it still has to taste good and this is really damn delicious.
3. You won't hate yourself the next day. I hate when I feel gross after having a carb fest but Naked will leave you feeling light and fluffy like a cloud.
4. They are the sensitive types. Allergic to gluten? No problem. You're a vegan? Try their (actually good) soy cheese. Want something besides red meat? How does alligator sound?Listed in: Eat & Live like a local, Mid priced eats

While I am not generally a fan of Naked Pizza the BBQ Chicken pizza is simply amazing. I highly recommend it.

Review from Chad C.
Naked Pizza used to be called Worlds Healthiest Pizza because it is. Its the freaking healthiest pizza in the world.
This is a strange story, but please bear with me...
Naked Pizza was founded by an anthropologist who studied the diets of ancient pizza. He found that fiber was the key to their health and the lack of fiber in the modern American diet can be traced to a number of ailments from obesity to colon cancer. He was determined to get Americans to eat more fiber. What better way to do this than to make a place that sells the healthiest pizza in the world.
Now the pizza...
The crust is the key. Its a multigrain crust filled with things that are good for you. The important thing, however, is that the crust is amazingly delicious. It is just the right amount of chewy and is NEVER greasy.
The lack of grease is certainly due to the kind of cheese Naked Pizza uses. Its gotta be some high-grade pure stuff, because the box looks as dry as can be. No oil stains to be found. After all, oily cheese = oily pizza.
The toppings are quite stellar. They caramelize all their onions to make things extra delicious. I'd recommend going with one of their signature pizzas. The Mediterranean (mmm...feta...) and the Probiotic (cilantro on a pizza! i love you!) are my favorites.
You really can't go wrong here. The pizza is so damn good and so damn good FOR you. It almost brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. Is there a cult I can join? Some kool-aid I can drink? Seriously, I'm all yours.
Get this - they'll be growing their own garlic on the roof of their store soon!
By the way, this place is take out and delivery only. -

Review from Soni P.
New Orleans, LA
Oh, Naked Pizza... where to begin?
Well, I found out about this place due to the fact that someone I knew (and admittedly, didn't like lol) worked there. It was constantly the butt of jokes. "World's HEALTHIEST Pizza? I see it's not called World's TASTIEST Pizza. It probably tastes like the box it came in!" and we'd all laugh as we drove past it.
Well, one day, a friend of mine (granola-lovin, hippie vegetarian ordered it and offered me some. I was like "no thanks. I eat human food." But when it arrived... it smelled SO GOOD. I ate a slice and it was unbelievable!
The ingredients were so fresh! In fact, when I ordered it and shared it recently, one of the people who ate it said she didn't like it because the ingredients tasted too fresh and she would taste too many flavors (this girl, mind you exists off a diet of mainly bologna and spaghetti-os and considers Semolina's FINE DINING, so keep that in mind).
I couldn't get over how good it was! A year or so later and they changed their name (for the better, I think) to Naked Pizza and it's only improved.
My favorite pizza from there is cheese and peppers. The peppers are so good. I like the Pepperoni too. The best part is that I really have to be reminded that it's a healthy food. I've recommended them to all my friends and they've all become NakedPizza fans (except bologna girl)! -
Review from Dana D.
Love it. Love it. Love it.
The only pizza I've ever had that I don't feel guilty eating and it tastes great. The only disappointment is the Hawaiian pizza and that's only because I thought the ham (or canadian bacon, whatever) tasted a little salty and weird.
The Sonoran is pretty good, so is the basic cheese pizza. I really like the Bayou Breadstixx. -
Review from Greg B.
New Orleans, LA
Delicious, delicious pizza. For the same price as getting a pizza from Domino's or Papa Johns, you can get a Naked pizza which frankly tastes way better than any of the national chains. And as a bonus, the pie we got did NOT feature grease dripping off of it, which was a nice change from most pizza places. The delivery time was very fast, as well, I think we got our order in under 30 minutes. Definitely give it a try!

Review from Sarah M.
All of the five star reviews WOULD make you think that Naked Pizza tastes like heaven with a crust, right? I am a lover of pizza, wheat-(crust, pasta, bread), and maybe some 100% natural products, but Naked Pizza I amn't. On top of the fact that the cheese was rubbery and the pizza was cardboard, I am sure they had a plentiful amount of basil when I walked in... so why did they tell me no?
Healthy should be tasty. -
Review from Greg F.
New Orleans, LA
All natural pizza can sometimes be code word for "tastes like the cardboard box is gets delivered in", but Naked Pizza has some tasty and healthy pies!
Every kind I have tried has been a bit on the thin side (don't expect deep dish or anything resembling Chicago style) but very flavorful ingredients with great crust. -
Review from Jared M.
Manhattan, NY
The pizza is vastly overrated. Plus, if youre ordering pizza, why are you tryingto be healthy. Also, the people that run the place are obnoxious. I will never return. I think the positive reviews are from workers.

Review from Matthew M.
Dallas, TX
Simply put, the best pizza.
In my 2+ years as a student in New Orleans, I'm proud to say that I've been an excited witness to the growth of Naked Pizza (formerly, the unfortunately-named "World's Healthiest Pizza"). I've probably averaged one Naked Pizza pie for every two weeks. By my rough calculation, that's about 43 pizzas.
All 43 have left me in awe.
These folks have stumbled on something fantastic. They've taken arguably the greatest and most popular dish in American cuisine and made it good for us. That's not the fantastic part, though. The fantastic part is that it is, consistently, the best tasting pizza I've ever had. It's natural, organic, and so satisfying.
As for the menu, you can't go wrong with any of the specialties. Personally, I prefer a more minimalist approach -- my favorite topping combination is tomato and fresh basil (which, yes, they grow in-store).
Tuesday is 2 for 1, and they have a perpetual large-two-topping special. Give Naked a shot. After a couple pizzas, you'll be hooked. Your body (and your taste buds) will thank you. -
Review from Aimee M.
Gretna, LA
This is my place for pizza when I'm at work. It's nice to be able to hop online to order pizza for a specific time and it's always ready when I get there. I also think their recipes get better every time I try them. I adore their Pima pizza with jalapenos and black beans on thin crust, it's just a leeeetle spicy and very filling. I'm not terribly crazy about their cheese breadstixx (they seem a little bland to me, not sure why), but otherwise I have no complaints.

Review from Taylor R.
New Orleans, LA
The pizza is simple and simply great! We love ordering a chicken, mushroom and spinach pizza. The online ordering system is convenient and so easy. And I have NO CLUE how their delivery is so fast. Our pizza has arrived three times in under 30 minutes. Amazing! Definitely try Naked Pizza if you haven't already.

Review from Tanya S.
Kenner, LA
Last year, a friend went in to order a pizza with vegan cheese (which they had tweeted to me directly that they had). He tried to order and they said they didn't have any vegan cheese anymore! So he ordered a cheeseless pizza. When he picked it up and brought it over, it had cheese all over it, so i couldn't eat it. I tasted a corner of the crust....awful. I make much better at home.
It's not really THAT healthy if it has cheese all over it! I think the only thing healthy is the crust....and it didn't taste very good. -
Review from Summer Z.
Colorado Springs, CO
Okay, I ate here all the time in college (back when it was still world's healthiest) and now I still indulge, figuring it's worth the drive to pick up in the university area.
yes, this is super healthy but still delicious pizza. But what brings me there is (a) twitter specials and (b) GLUTEN-FREE crust!
yes, once again THEY HAVE A GLUTEN-FREE CRUST!
now, I'm not one of the gluten-intolerant folks, but since i've got a bunch of friends who are, I kind of delight in picking up a pizza for dinner and telling them it's safe for their consuming.
The gluten-free crust had a suprisingly delicious flavor-- herb-y, maybe oregano? It's very thin (somewhat expected) and i have a feeling the pizza is best the fresher it is upon consumption- i think toward the end of of our eating festivities (considering i'd been a little late to pick up and then drove it all to bayou st. john during rush hour) part of the crust was a little rubbery.
but otherwise, this was super delicious.
Man, i love naked pizza. Hopefully, they'll a location with an eat-in option off the ground. OR they'll expand to other parts of the city. -

Review from John B.
New Orleans, LA
Ok, so I pass by this place CONSTANTLY and everytime I wonder what it's like. It seems like one of those west coast, hippie-style concepts that I tend to rebel against. However, I've been watching what I eat and been a little more considerate about natural foods, so I decided to bite the bullet.
And I'm glad I did. It's a excellent pizza. Sure, the greasy, cheesy, heavily topped pizzas I normally eat tug at my heart-strings more, but I was very surprised at how much I enjoyed this one.
The online ordering was really easy, and the pizza got here in 23 minutes. I don't live in the Audubon area of Uptown. I'm more of the Jackson and Magazine area, at least a 5 minute drive.
I ordered the SUPERbiotic, a non-meat, veggie pizza. Everything tasted really fresh and proportioned well. This will definitely be placed on my weekend spots to eat.
Also, this place is takeout or delivery only. -

Naked Pizza has stepped up their game. Ordered online so I could avoid the jerk at the counter from the last time (***but he wasn't there anyway, maybe my review got him fired!)... anywho, the customer service exceed my expectation, even wound up leaving a tip evethough i had order online! not to mention the guy behind the counter tipped me off to an iphone app that'll let you place an order even quicker... good lookin out ;)

Review from Cork C.
San Francisco, CA
If this was a normal incredibly unhealthy pizza place I would probably give it 3 stars. However with the right toppings this place can make some damn good pizza that is healthy enough to pig out on....well kinda. I actually like the crust better than the normal stuff and if you get extra sauce the fact that they pile on the slightly less flavorful low fat cheese doesn't really matter.

Review from Kelly M.
New Orleans, LA
I've heard about Naked Pizza for a while, always with salivating taste buds and awe at the mere idea of what I was hearing. Then I tried it. and then I thought, "really?" I tasted no difference. I don't know what else to say. I was heart broken. Regeneli's is much higher on my list of good pizza.

Review from Ellen C.
I've been curious about Naked Pizza for awhile, but just never bothered to try a Naked pizza (as aforementioned, it's former name "World's Healthiest Pizza" - not very tantalizing) - until today. I ordered the SUPERbiotic with soy cheese (Casein free!!! I was shocked!) and didn't think it would really impress me as I've despised all vegan cheeses I've tried thus far.
Well lo and behold - I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoyed my SUPERbiotic and gobbled it up without reservations.
The crust was definitely on the thinner side (I didn't get the thin crust), but that's precisely how I like my pizza . . . more topping, less puffy crust (although I do like crust, dont get me wrong). You definitely tell that the crust was comprised of some sort of more whole grain mix and not your usual unbleached flour. It had a bit of a crumbling consistency, but I found it rather palatable and pleasant, especially since it's allegedly better for me.
Not sure what brand vegan cheese they use, but it actually melted! It didn't have the stringy cheesy quality of authentic cheeses, but it was a nice mild cheesy flavor. Mind you, the other times I've had vegan cheeses, I've spat out whatever mouthful I torn off and waited another two or three years until I attempted vegan cheeses again.
The sauce was a nice mild flavor as well, but did lend a noticeable presence on the pizza. Granted I do like my pizzas a little saucier, but I think I'm in the minority on that.
The vegetable toppings were rather adequate and not skimped on - so I was also rather pleased with that. I think I made the right decision with going with the SUPERbiotic because it showcases some of my favorite vegetable topping selections.
And yes, the pizza is so unlike Pizza Hut and the likes - it wasn't greasy in the least. There were no disgusting pools of cheese grease, the crust didn't stain the box nearly transparent. Yes I ate pizza without feeling obese and disgusted with myself - amazing.
Also as mentioned below, how cool of them to offer a gluten-free crust! It's not vegan, but I know plenty of gluten intolerant people who would probably be very enthused at the possibility of ordering a gluten-free pizza from a regular ole pizza establishment.
Anyway, I can guarantee that I'll be ordering from Naked Pizza again. I'm so thrilled that some place in New Orleans would offer a fully vegan pizza that actually tastes rather excellent!
I'll post photos soon . . . . -
Review from Colleen K.
Brooklyn, NY
Very good pizza using great ingredients. I didn't even feel gross after eating 4 slices of their Mediterranean pie, and I never eat that many slices in a row that aren't made by my own hand.
