| - I am trying to be kind, but not a great experience, online, in person, or dining with/at NakedPizza.
I had gotten their flyer extoling all their virtues before the holiday break recently, and so the weekend seemed like a good time to try them.
No online coupons, nor flyer coupons, but I tried both regular and thin crust with both pepperoni and mushroom toppings. I used their website, which was not especially intuitive, nor fast on updates-- as compared to other pizza places-- and it ended up getting the order wrong, so I called the place and they could not modify the order at all, and ended up doing an entire new order, cheerfully. They got the total wrong, but then adjusted it with a managers [?] help.
My pizzas were ready ontime, however, there seemed to be a lack of individuals who were able to help me. While quite a few of the employees were standing around near the front desk, they did not offer to help, nor seemed to be doing anything in the back. When one of the front counter girls got free from phone, they did give me the pizzas and I was on my way.
Alas, after all the hype and wait above, both pizza's, while warm, and reasonably fresh, did not taste it. The touted 12 grain crust actually tasted like bad wheat bread, with very little flavor. The sauce was nearly invisible, and did not add to the pizza. Same for rest of toppings -- basically a very dull, if neutral note. Neither crust was crispy, nor tasty, or had any good texture to it.
I can not blame the company, as perhaps this is their "all natural way" but when compared to many other pizza places, both cheap and expensive I have been to, I can not ever recommend this place/their pizza's again.
It was not just me, I had friends over, and the vote was uniamious, with the comment "Freschetta frozen is better than this!"
I am trying to think of any redeeming values, but I can not. I think you should avoid this place, and seek your pizza nirvana elsewhere -- Pizzeria Bianco is quite good, as is Grimaldi's [the one by BluBurger and Flemings]
