Naked Pizza

I was so excited to get invited to a tasting at Naked Pizza in Brighton.

Some healthy, delicious pizza was just what I needed after a long day at work.

I saw this pizza reviewed recently on We Are Not Martha, and knew I had to try it! I tweeted about Naked Pizza, exchanged some emails with them, and before I knew it there was an event!

[Twitter can be a very fast, effective way to communicate with individuals and businesses.]

“Naked“ to this company means natural. Not only are they passionate about providing pizza that is truly healthy and made with real, natural ingredients, but a major part of their mission is changing the concept of “fast food”.

They are all about being transparent to their customers about what’s in their food and how it’s made, and they really emphasized the importance of treating their employees well.

The bright green color is their trademark!

The owners were nice enough to let us completely behind the scenes to show us how they do business efficiently and in the best interests of their customers.

Their 10 grain crust comes in a thick and a thin variety. It contains: oats, brown rice, buckwheat, quinoa, amaranth, teff, spelt, tapioca, and two kinds of wheat.

We saw the entire process: how they roll out and shape the dough, put the toppings on, put it in the oven, slice and box it.

They said from start (ball of raw dough) to finish (sliced and boxed) takes just 7 minutes.

The sauce has just 4 ingredients: tomatoes, water, fresh basil, and a dried herb packet. I absolutely loved the sauce – it had a natural sweetness that was just right.

They had all the usual toppings, but all of the veggies are freshly chopped daily (not out of cans), and the pepperoni is nitrite free, lower in fat, and the color is naturally created with paprika instead of artificial ingredients.

Then came the best part – eating!

Below is the Superbiotic pizza on the thicker crust, which I loved.  I also tried the Smokehouse and the Sonoran, both of which were excellent.

The crust was just right – crusty on the outside and soft on the inside – and the sauce to cheese ratio was spot on.

The thinner crust is shown below. I really enjoyed that too, it just depends what kind of crust you prefer. Naked Pizza has both mastered.

This pizza did not “taste healthy” at all – it was just how traditional pizza should taste!

I had a great time chatting and eating with the Naked Pizza employees and these lovely Boston-area bloggers! I will definitely be returning to Naked Pizza.

What’s your favorite kind of pizza?
