Pizza evolutis: how we created the world’s healthiest pizza — and why

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.
