| Had a great time!!! This Pizza tour is the best way to see brooklyn. The people, sights, and pizza were all great. This is by leaps and bounds the best tour that my family and i have been on in NYC. |

| This tour was a great value. It was long enough to show us a lot of interesting places in Brooklyn and on the Manhattan side as we started and ended the tour. The bus we travelled in was very nice. The driver would let us off at one of the tour stops and pick us up a long the way-no need for us to walk back. The pizzerias were good. It depends on what you like. Most of us liked the first stop with the coal fired pizza and were so-so on the second stop with the Sicilian style pizza. The tour guides -Tony (very knowledgable) and his cousin were excellent although they could have benefitted from a speaking system and microphone when we were off the bus at some sites. Stand close since the traffic/subway noise can be loud at times, especially near the Brooklyn bridge. All iin all -highly recommended. |

| I took the pizza tour on the advice of friends who took it a few months back. I expected to have a good time like they said, but the tour exceeded my expectations. The first thing I noticed was how nice the bus is. It's clean, comfortable and I could easily see from both sides of the bus. Danny, the driver, did a great job getting us around the borough. Tony, the tour guide, was joined by his Uncle Louie and his two cousins Paula and Maria. Tony said that he's hiring family members as he's expanding his company, so Paula and Maria did parts of the tour along with Tony and they all did a great job. I found out that his cousin Maria had actually been a tour guide in Italy. His uncle Louie is the real deal, he's as Brooklyn as it gets.The entire day I felt like a part of the family. My favorite part of the tour, besides the amazing pizza at both stops, was to be able to actually stand on the legendary boardwalk at Coney Island. This tour is worth every penny and I'll recommend it to all my friends. I'll be back to take Tony's other tours as well. Good luck Tony! |

| I've taken the pizza tour before, but this time I took my parents. I told them all about Tony and how much fun they were going to have on the tour. As we boarded the bus, Tony welcomed us and then quickly announced that his Uncle Louie and his cousin Paula were joining us that day. He said that as his company is expanding, he's trying to "keep things in the family". Well we literally felt like a part of the family the entire day as all three of them looked after us. Paula even took over for a part of the tour and did a great job! Uncle Louie is the Italian Uncle everyone should have. As I expected, my folks absolutely loved the tour! They've been telling everyone about it ever since they got off the bus. As for the pizza, what can I say? Grimaldi's is absolutely incredible. As for the second spot, Spumoni Gardens, I have to agree with Tony, "It's like God himself is making the pizza!" Take this tour, you won't be disappointed. |

| I went on this tour with my friend from San Diego who never visited NYC before. When I asked her what her second favorite thing about her trip to NYC (besides me of course), she said it was the Brooklyn Pizza Tour (and the day before we went to the Sex in the City Tour).
Tony was an incredible tour guide with a super friendly demonour and extremely knowledgeable out Brooklyn. We were able to see and walk under the Brooklyn Bridge, DUMBO, and Coney Island. Then the best part was eating 2 slices of Margarita Pizza and 2 slices of Sicilian Pizza (with leftovers when the tour was over) from 2 of the best pizza places in NY.
I lived in NY my whole life and the Sicilian slices were the best pizza I ever ate!
Also we visited the famous Brooklyn Brownstone houses and was shown famous locations, personalities, and general life in Brooklyn. |

| Tony, Uncle Lou and Cousin Paula were all great chaperones on a tour that definitily takes you to places you would never think of seeing while in Brooklyn. Seeing the home from the "Goodfellas" movie was a highlight for me. The tour of Coney Island was cool as well. Lots of photo opportunities including DUMBO and the Brooklyn Bridge promenade.
The tour van was very comfortable which would be key in the summer months.
The only negative I can say is thinking there would be additional pizza parlors we would visit other than the two. BUT even if we did visit others I doubt I would have been able to eat anything more after our visits to the incredible Grimaldi's and L & B Spumoni's.
Worth the money (passing the dozens of people in line at Grimaldi's made the money spent worth it alone!) |

| The Brooklyn slice of pizza tour is more than pizza. It is a slice of Brooklyn's history and some of its neighborhoods. Tony (the tour leader) is Brooklyn born and bred and his love for Brooklyn is evident. The tour includes stops where movie scenes were shot (and Tony shows the scene on the bus tv monitors) along with a stop on Coney Island and a walk on the boardwalk.
All in all, this New Orleanian enjoyed it very much. |

| very enjoyable day and activity. Tony's passion and love for his native Brooklyn comes through loud and clear and is contagious.
I would heartily reccomend this to a friend |
