| I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about doing a tour of Brooklyn, but it turned out to be the best part of my trip to New York City!! Tony, his Uncle Louie and his cousins did a great job as Brooklyn Ambassadors for the day.. The pizza at Grimaldi's was phenomenal!! The last time I had Neopolitan pizza that good was when I visited Naples, Italy.. The pizza at Spumoni Gardens was also wonderful and reminded me of the type of pizza my Sicilian grandmother used to make.. Make sure you try the spumoni while you're there, too!! I also loved how the movie clips shown on the monitors of the bus were perfectly timed as we pulled up to the actual Brooklyn movie locations.. If you think that Manhattan is all there is when you visit New York City, then you're wrong.. Get yourself over to Brooklyn!! I look forward to taking Tony's neighborhood tour the next time I visit.. |

| 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. |

| The Brooklyn Pizza Tour was incredible. Not only did we get to sample some of the best pizza in the New York Area (and avoid the lines!) but we also got a good tour of the local area with knowledgeable guides. Tony and his family gave an excellent tour and I would gladly recommend them to anyone. |

| 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. |

| We had a great time and Tony is a charming, informative tour guide. The pizza was very good and we were impressed with the tour bus - clean with comfortable leather seats that recline. Loved the movie clips as you're passing the same spot in the clip. Our only suggestions: instead of 2 slices at both pizza places, how about 1 slice at THREE pizza places (would make the $75 per ticket seem more worth it). OR end the tour at a famous Brooklyn bakery for cookies or bread to take home. |

| The Brooklyn tour was well managed and enjoyable. The bus was new and comfortable. The guides were humorous, energetic, enthusiastic. The pizza was terrific. We only wish that we could have seen more of Brooklyn's famous neighborhoods, but the hours were filled and fun. Thanks! |
