A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour

Never had been to Brooklyn before because we just weren't sure were to go, what to see, and what areas would be safe. This tour took care of all of our questions and much, much more. Tony has done a great deal of research and his running commentary along with his video excerpts made this tour unique. We had a comfortable bus (holds 36) and even in bad weather (which it was - rain) we had a great tour. Two stops for delicious (and historic) pizza made for a very filling lunch. We toured many different neighborhoods and Tony knew so much about all of them. As he is from Brooklyn, Tony knows the ins and outs of what we saw. Had it not been for the rain, we would have had a nice walk on the boardwalk at Coney Island. Even so, we saw and heard about the area while seated comfortably on the bus. Some things to know: you can safely leave items on the bus when you get off for pizza or the walking portion of the tour, you get 4 slices of pizze and soda - quite enough for lunch, there is some walking involved so wear comfortable shoes, if you like to take pictures be sure to bring your camers, traffic is very unpredictable and can be heavy - leave enough time to get there in the morning, and don't plan an activity back to back with the ending of the tour. There are no negatives about this tour. Tony includes everyone in the group, makes it interesting and informative, and you will be amazed at the diverstiy of Brooklyn. We even saw a movie shoot - walked right by the set and the actors. Having taken other city tours, we welcomed the opportunity to relax on a small comfortable bus while someone else drove and someone spoke. The combination of driving/walking/eating was just right. Go - take this tour!!

As a boy who grew up in Brooklyn and Queens, It was a fascinating tour. I mainly did it to show my spouse a Southern Gal that thewre is real Pizza as found by the tours Great time, wonderful host. T.R. Brustowicz MD Bishop Loughlin HS 1956

We attended the pizza tour on 15 October 2007 and we throughly enjoyed it. We got lots of good pizza and Tony was outstanding, funny and informative which made for a great day in Brooklyn. We recommended this tour to everyone and we will definitely be telling our friends back home in Scotland to go!

My Husband and I and the couple we were traveling with took this tour. At the time we signed up for the activity, we were a little worried about the length of the tour. However, reviews on the website and on Trip Advisor were very good so we decided to take a chance. We were not disappointed one bit and had a wonderful, fun, entertaining and informative day. Tony, the owner/operator of the tour, really knows and loves Brooklyn. We were treated to history, insider info, entertainment, and some great slices of real Italian Pizza! Tony is very friendly and cares very much about the comfort of his guests. We rode in a brand new luxury coach that held 34 passengers. We had a mix of guests from foreign countries (Australia, England, Sweeden, etc), a few folks from other states and several from New York. I think this is a great actvity for anyone. However, it is probably enjoyed more by people 40 and above as many of the movie references date back to the 70s. The coach was very comfortable. Tony narrated the tour which was punctuated by music and movie clips from many of the areas we were seeing (it is very cool to be driving through the exact area that you are seeing on the t.v. monitor!) Tony will give everyone a print out of music and movie clips used in the tour. We had a few photo stops (fabulous Manhattan skylines and views of the Brooklyn, Manhattan and Washington Bridges). Jimmy (Tony's friend from way back in the school yard days) was very accommodating in taking our photos. The pizza stops were fun and delicious. Plenty of pizza for everyone and there were even left overs to take home! We stopped at Coney Island (a place I had only read about or saw in movies). It was fun to imagine what it was like to be there during the summertime in it's hey-day! Our trip ran about an hour long due to the really bad traffic situation getting out of Manhattan that morning. However, it was well worth the time that we spent and much more fun and interesting than the DoubleDecker City Tour. We highly recommend this tour! Thank you Tony and Jimmy for a fantastic day!

I was not expecting to have as much fun as I did on the Brooklyn Pizza Tour. It was very well planned and the host was outstanding. Tony, was full of personality and with a friendly likable dememnor. He had a lot of knowledge about the people and places in Brooklyn. I will highly recommend this tour to my family and friends. And the pizza at both stops was very good.

I've always wanted to see Brooklyn, so when I saw A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour recommended on the Today Show, I said now's the time. I found the tour on the internet and contacted a very friendly person at Zerve to make a reservation. I arrived at the meeting site and was warmly greeted by Tony. The mini bus was clean and spacious. Tony was a wonderful guide. He spoke clearly with his charming Brooklyn accent. The pizza was wonderful. I also enjoyed the stops to view Manhattan, the bridges and the Coney Island boardwalk. Tony told me the Brooklyn history that I wanted to hear, and he told us quite a bit about the many neighborhoods we saw. He also played Brooklyn based music and showed many video clips of movies filmed in Brooklyn. It was a wonderful day.

I am always looking for something different to do with some friends and fortunately heard about this tour on my car radio. Tony M. was being interviewed on one of the morning cooking shows. As the interview continued, I knew this was one experience I didn't want to miss. I went on line and the process to obtain tickets was very easy. Besides being very knowledgeable, Tony is extremely passionate about this tour through his beloved Brooklyn. As he pointed out different "movie" shoots, we were also shown them on a screen in front of the bus, along with wonderful music. The two pizza places we visited were excellent, and the neighborhoods wonderful. Walking on the boardwalk at Coney Island was an unexpected treat. We have some beautiful pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge. It is with great pleasure that I highly recommend others to go on The Slice of Brooklyn tour.

All kudos to the tour director. He was knowledgeable, interesting with a fine sense of humor. Right out of central casting. We are from Arizona, and the tour of Brooklyn was wonderful. Surprisingly, the only downside, and this is minimal, was the pizza. And probably pepperoni, mushrooms, sausage, and anchovies would have solved that problem.

I took this tour when my family was visiting me from California. It was my brother and I who are in our late 20's and my parents who are in their late 50's. We were all greatly entertained; this tour really exceeded my expectations.

Great tour! You should charge more; it is worth it!
