Naked City Pizza on Paradise gets in on the brunch game starting this Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and then every week after. Owner Christopher Palmeri says that some of the dishes he serves may end up on the menu at Naked City Tavern, his third restaurant opening going in the former Blind Tiger Bar & Grill at 6295 S.
