A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour

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!

We were a group of five - one female friend from Israel, my husband and I from California and our son and his wife who live in Manhattan. Our son and his wife have lived in NY for ten years (West Village and Hell's Kitchen) and really enjoyed seeing different areas of Brooklyn they've never seen before. We look forward to Tony's tours of other neighborhoods. Our Israeli friend was very glad she came and would recommend this to her friends.Tony is very personable, enthusiastic and genuinely loves Brooklyn. Of course we enjoyed the pizza as well.

My 14 year old son and my husband reluctantly agreed to come with me on this tour. Within the first 15 minutes they knew they were in for a fun filled, interactive day. The time flew and there wasn't a moment that any of us were bored. We learned so much about pizza, pop culture, and of course the rich history of the many different neighborhoods of Brooklyn. This was worth every penny!!! Thanks Tony.
