A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour

A great 'money well spent' 5 hours on our week long stay in New York....... Very clean and comfortable transport - all the information we could have asked for from Tony ....two great pizza stops.....a way to see the Brooklyn a tourist would not normally see.....and Coney Island......a trip back in time..... Marvellous!!!! So glad we found you on the website!!! Anne Dewsnap, South Yorkshire, England.

Whats the best tour in New York? Yankee Stadium tour? Fuhgettaboutit!!!! The best tour in New York is the "Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour." When we booked our vacation, for me the Ultimate Tour was the Yankee Stadium Tour, boy was I wrong!!!(And I'm a huge baseball fan!). My wife and I had the best time. The best thing of the tour is the tour guide and owner Tony. Born, raised and living in Brooklyn he knew the ins and outs of the Bourough like the back of his hand. Obviously he loves the area he grew up! We traveled throughout Brooklyn. From the Brooklyn Bridge to the specific spots where some of the biggest and best movies were filmed, from "Annie Hall" to "Goodfellas". The bus carried about 36 people and there were video screens throughout the bus. Tony would show us specific locations where these movies were filmed and then play clips from the various movies. What a GREAT concept!!! I'm a big movie fan and it was a surreal feeling to see the various locations in person then to actually see it on film. I also enjoyed walking on the boardwalk of Coney Island and seeing the world famous "Nathan's" hotdog stand. For pretty much the full 4 hours of the tour Tony would point out different places in the city and tell stories only someone who was born and raised in Brooklyn would know. Tony definately was the best part of the tour. My wife would like to adopt him if we could!! Of course I can't forget about the Pizza!!! We sat down at two of the best pizza places in Brooklyn, Grimaldi's and L & B Spumoni Gardens. Tony sure was right on!! We are from California and I don't know if I could ever go back to eating pizza here at home again after trying these two fabulous pizza restaurants!! Six stars out of five!!! The "Slice of Brooklyn Pizza" tour was the highlight of our trip. If you should ever visit New York you would be short changing yourself if you didn't experience this AMAZING tour!!!

Our cousin from SFO wanted to see Brooklyn and we found this tour on the web. It was way better than we had expected. We really had great time. Tony is clearly a man who enjoys his work. He makes you feel like family as he shows you his beloved Brooklyn. The pizza at L&B's is out of this world and the spumoni..don't even think about not trying it!!! If you are visiting NYC this is a definite agenda item. Jim & Maurine Falcone

An entertaining and delicious tour. Tony is naturally funny, shares some great sites and views we would have never seen and he gives informative info about Brooklyn and some of its well known characters! The use of movie clips as we passed the original spot where it was filmed added to the fun of it all--brilliant! The pizza is the best. This is a tour not to be missed!

Our friends went on this tour last year, and they raved about the tour and Tony. Four of us from Jersey, signed up for "A Slice of Brroklyn Pizza Tour" on June 27, 2008. We have all been on many tours throughout America and abroad. You could not find a tour guide with more knowledge, enthusiasm, and humor than Tony Muia. The video montages that illustrated the various movie scenes that were filmed in Brooklyn really added to the visual effect. Rather than just showing the movie location, Tony provided actual movie footage of each particular site. That was really fun. We learned about the history of Brooklyn and the variety of cultures and housing. The pizza stops were excellent. We sampled Margarita and Sicilian Pizzas...yummy! Tony's enthusiasm was the best selling point of his tour. At the conclusion of his tour, our group of four got off the bus and walked back to the Brooklyn Bridge and walked over to Brookyln and back again to Manhattan. I have always wanted to walk over the bridge. I had a greater appreciation of the architecture and history of the bridge because of this tour. We took lots of pictures and shared them with many friends through e-mail, recommending this fun tour.

My husband and I being "pizza hounds" signed up for this tour knowing very little about it. The thought a pizza tour sounded interesting and right up our alley; little did we know however that Tony and his pizza tour were featured on the Today Show. Boy did we hit a home run; it is one of my favorite tours of all time. I figured we would get small samples of pizza while on foot but what we got instead was a 1/2 hour at a table at each pizza place and had my fill of pizza. Both my husband and I skipped dinner that evening because we were still full from our tour. Tony is excellent! He is knowledgeable of "all things Brooklyn", he is very entertaining and he knows his pizza! My favorite was the Neopolitan style while my husband's favorite was without a doubt the Sicilian style. We absolutely loved this tour and will recommend it to anyone who visits NY. One more thing. Don't pass up the spumoni at L & B Spumoni Gardens. I thought I had a strong aversion to spumoni but apparently I have never had the "real deal". It was to die for!

this was the best tour taken locally...my husband and i were born and raised in brooklyn...it was so good to see all the places again....and to eat the terrific pizza....Tony was terrific ...very informed, tour well put togeher...and very cordial atmosphere...we recommend this tour to everyone...it is very special..

My husband and I with our two teenagers took this tour on the recommendation of a friend. We're not normally inclined to go on tours and wouldn't have gone on this one if our friend (who is from the NYC area) had not told us it was a "must." We especially had to drag along our surly 16-year-old son, who emphatically did not want to go. But we were all engaged right away because Tony does such a great job. The pizza truly was by far the best I've ever had in my life; I knew it would be good, but it greatly surpassed my expectations. But the surprise treat really was how fun and interesting it was to be guided around Brooklyn by someone who obviously loves the place. Tony has so many great stories about the people and sites in Brooklyn, and his presentation of video clips of movie scenes from the various spots on the tour is really polished and adds to the fun. Our son tried his best to not enjoy the whole thing, but it wasn't long before he was smiling along with us all listening to Tony, loving the pizza, taking pictures, and (gasp) even conversing pleasantly with others on the tour. Believe me, for him these days that behavior is a minor miracle and a testimonial to how great this tour is.

We especially liked the tour guide (Tony) because it is nice to have a tour guide and not a tape.

We were out for 10 days in NYC and DC and if we had gone on this tour and nothing else, it would have been a great vacation. Nuff said.
