| Having a real Brooklynite share the deep tradition of not only the place in history of pizza and its migration into NYC, but to hear the history of the neighborhoods was "Da Bomb." The sell point to this was the real life experience and pride the host had in his city, his bororugh , and more importantly his pizza selections. We aprpeciated the interacted not only during the tour but more impressive was his ability to sit with us while we ate and shared his views and inquired about ours. Class act!!!!!! This ranked right up their with our visit to the bronx to watch the Yankees beat Boston. I will definately repeat my afternoon spent with Tony, for both the food and his passion for his borough. |

| Tony makes you feel that you are his special guests. Plenty of delicious pizza. Videos add a lot to the overall tour. I can't imagine going on "A Slice of Brooklyn and not have Tony be your guide. He was pleasant and attentive. No one knows Brooklyn like he does. I'd highly recommend the tour and in fact we already have. I look forward to other tours that Tony may lead. This one was worth every penny |

| This tour is thoughtfully put together by Tony and he acts as a perfect guide. He was always looking out for all of us, being sure to keep everyone within earshot , The video clips that he has organized about the area you are seeing is perfectly done.
The 2 different styles of pizza are so distinct (and delicious) that they are sure to please all palates. The sightseeing stops are wonderful photo ops and just getting the history of the borough is terrific. My favorite stop was at Coney Island having heard so much about it from my grandmother and never having visited myself. I could just picture her on the beach!
We are looking forward to joining Tony on one of his new, upcoming tours! You will not regret doing the Brooklyn Pizza Tour - it's worth every penny. |

| My father and sister came into town to visit me. Since they've been to Manhattan before, I was running out of things to take them to see. The Brooklyn Pizza Tour was a great alternative. I loved being able to walk past the crowds to immediately sit down at the restaurnats with pizza on the table moments later. |

| My mom and I signed up for the "Slice of Brooklyn" tour after she saw a blurb about it on the Today show. We've been on a few different tours of NYC in the past couple years, but this was the absolute best one ever! We had great pizza, learned some history ... and I got to ride the Cyclone at Coney Island!!!! Quite a thrill for a roller-coaster fan like me. Our guide (Tony) was knowledgeable and extremely entertaining. He arrived on time and the bus was clean and comfortable. We would recommend this tour to anyone who likes pizza and wants to see NYC from a different (i.e., non-manhattan-centric) perspective. I got some *great* photos of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges and we got to see locations from quite a few famous movies.
We try to visit NYC once or twice a year and will definitely look for more tours from Tony on our next trip - we'd be happy to spend an afternoon with him anytime! |

| My husband and I went on this tour and really enjoyed it. The pizza was amazing and the sights Tony shows you are interesting. Tony is really enthusiastic and very professional. The film clips he shows you are an excellent addition. He clearly loves Brooklyn and this shows in what he tells you about it. He's one funny guy.
Overall it was great to see Brooklyn on this well organized and friendly tour. Definitely worth a look if you're going to New York. |

| The pizza was great but the tour was even better. Tony did a great job of showing and explaining what Brooklyn is all about. This was a thoroughly entertaining 41/2 hours. |

| Tony has a real treat in store for all in his company. His enthusiasm and knowledge of Brooklyn and the environ was enjoyed by all on the tour. Brooklyn as a lot of character and much to appreciate in the different sections. The pizza stops are just a part of the fun. Both pizzerias serve completely different styles of pizza, yet equally delicious. Don't feel obligated to take a side... Italian or Sicilian, just enjoy them both as they are both absolutely fantastic. This time I was with a group of friends, next time, yes there will be a next time, I will bring the whole family. |
