Delivering great tasting pizza that’s actually good for you.
Founded in late 2006 as one small store in New Orleans in an area that flooded during hurricane Katrina, NakedPizza (originally named World’s Healthiest Pizza) was launched as an ambitious business model that seeks to change the nutritional profile of fast food in America. By way of example, NakedPizza is demonstrating that pizza does not have to be part of the problem in our national epidemic of obesity and chronic disease, but in fact can be part of the solution.
We believe enough is enough: it’s time the 30 billion dollar pizza industry rolled up its sleeves and repositioned pizza in the way Americans want to eat. More than ever, consumers want healthy alternatives. We see the nutrition and health wave sweeping the country as an opportunity for our industry — something we call PIZZA 2.0. Those in the pizza industry who do not adapt and evolve with healthier choices will soon be left behind – as they should.

NakedPizza is Mark Cuban’s “favorite pizza”. At only 161 calories per slice (44% less than Papa John’s) they are taking healthy dining to another level. It’s been said that the dough makes the pizza, and NakedPizza uses their own proprietary blend of 12 grains to make a hearty pizza dough that’s healthy than standard processed white flour.
According to their website:
12 Grains Are Better Than 1
We start with an Ancestral Blend™ of 12 grains and seeds (other places use 1 processed grain) with prebiotic fiber and probiotics (good-for-you cultures for balance) in our crust. Only real, all-natural skim mozzarella and sauce made fresh by hand each day, plump with ripe tomatoes, herbs and spices and no high fructose corn syrup, added sugar or freaky chemicals of any kind. Topped with fresh, all-natural meats and veggies. Mojolicious.
Check out their pizza menu and read the NakedPizza nutrition facts on their website. Not funky flash or anything. Just a nice page displaying nutrition information without a lot of hype. Kind of like their pizzas.
