| - I'm really disappointed in Naked City Pizza Shop. How dare they be 20 minutes away? I can only imagine how delicious this pizza must be when it's hot and fresh, and I'll never know unless I eat it there.
Which is never going to happen. Any place with a big banner that says "Smoker Friendly" isn't going to be seating my sensitive nose. That's not a criticism: NCPS is inside Moondoggie's bar, so the smoking is reasonable; I get it. But I can't mix the smell of cigarettes with food, so it's my loss.
NCPS was suggested to my husband here on Yelp when we asked about where to get a pizza that wasn't NY-style or Chicago-style. I love Grimaldi's, and I don't hate Chicago-style, but where ARE all of the "normal" takeout/delivery pizzas with a thick crust, evenly spread toppings, and cooked all the way through? (I thought it was Metro. It wasn't. Northside Nathan's is a fave, but it's also a bit far for take-out.)
I'm glad a Groupon came up or we never would've bothered to make the trek to this dive, and I mean "dive" in the "fun, casual, non-derogatory" sense. Mostly. Even so, we waited until the day the coupon expired. The lure of a potentially good pizza almost didn't beat out location and atmosphere.
I got the "not-so-wee" (half-sheet) with mushrooms, ricotta, and garlic. This is a new combination for me and now one I look forward to trying elsewhere. (If I ever find an elsewhere.) I've been eating this pizza for three days now, so believe me that they're honest about the sizes. The "frickin' huge" is the next step up and more for dining in with six friends. The step down is the "wee," which I imagine has the benefit of more edge pieces.
Ah, the rectangular pizza and the problem of the edge-less middle pieces. It's one issue that keeps me from getting take-out at Northside Nathan's any more, but NCPS's middle slices were so good that I didn't mind the lack of edge, and a fine edge it is. Chewy, thick, but not hard and kind of fluffy. I could've done with an air bubble or three, but this is good.
My husband got the Stinger without bleu cheese and with "red sauce" as opposed to no sauce, I think. (The red sauce has a tiny kick to it - nice.) Let's just say that his didn't last three days.
I was really intrigued by the cherry-chocolate malts, and in just the past few days they've added online ordering, but it's really not a place I want to hang out - not inside, and not in the parking lot, either. For that I have to dock a star. But this is just the kind of pizza I'm looking for... now someone please tell me where to find this in the southwest?
