Historically the first Restaurant ever tapped to #supportlocal with lunch at the office, and reprising their catering role several times since, it was on Thursday that Naked City Pizza once again put on a show with classics and novelties alike.
The sixth time bringing Christopher and Michael Palmeri’s Pizza Shop off-site, visits to half of their four locations currently off-limits amidst COVID-19 restrictions, it was minutes prior to 11:30am that a pair of longtime employees arrived with eleven items, easily enough Food for twice the number of guests with plenty of leftovers.
Not exactly a short distance to travel, yet presenting everything temperature appropriate with PPE to assure customer safety, it was not long before first-shift lunchers called dibs on Slices, Cup n’ Char Pepperoni predictably proving popular atop melted Mozzarella and housemade Sauce with plenty of Herbs, as did Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives famous Guinea Pie featuring White Garlic Sauce and Grandma Palmeri’s Meatballs.
Slinging Sin City’s best Chicken Wings, and additionally offering spicy bits of Poultry amidst Pasta Spirals, Cheddar, Mozzarella and Bacon, another heaping portion of Pasta arrived with tender Potato Dumplings in a bloomy Bleu Sauce restrained by Cream, Herbs and Breadcrumbs.
Lightening the load with a big Salad and housemade Dressing, Naked City’s Ranch predictably becoming dipping Sauce for the Crust of many, fans of Monte Cristo Sandwiches should pay close attention to Thursdays when Chef Palmeri occasionally pays homage to Disneyland, the fried Bread surrounding dueling Meats plus Swiss textbook when slathered with Raspberry Jelly.
Happy to admit Naked City’s hand-cut French Fries are better on-site, though the crispy spears atop “Helen Yee” are a fun contrast to three Meats that will raise some eyebrows, Dessert consisted of Brownies and Macarons, though an argument could be made that Naked City’s Buffalo 22 Pizza works just as well thanks to Hot Honey slicking Cheese, Pepperoni, House Italian Sausage and plenty of Garlic.
N/A: Making it blog policy to not ‘rate’ places based on catering alone there is a reason Naked City Pizza has been serving Sin City for over a decade, and so long as Christopher and Michael continue to work as hard as they always have there is little doubt that any order will delight a crowd whether at the Shop or delivered.
