This tour was definitely a highlight of our trip and I would highly recommend it to everyone. We covered a lot of ground in Brooklyn and because Tony grew up there it felt more personal and we got to see a side of the burough that you normally don't get on a regular city tour. The purpose of the tour is to get an overview of the area so while there wasn't a ton of time to spend at each stop, we learned lots and know where we want to go back to on our next trip there, which is exactly what we wanted. The pizza was killer - getting to jump the line at Grimaldi's alone was worth the price of the tour.
Tony was the best.....our group also did an evening, neighborhood tour in Brooklyn with him and Uncle Louie which was fantastic. I would suggest that anyone going to New York, take as many tours with this company as you can get. Thanks for the great memories, Tony. We'll be back with more friends for pizza and another Brooklyn neighborhood to explore!

We took the tour with our daughter-in-law who is from Florida. We all thought it was great. Very professionally done, guide (Paula) was wonderful and everything went without a hitch. |

I attended the A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour with my mom while we were in NY (from San Diego) and this was definitely a highlight of our trip. It was very interesting to hear about the history of Brooklyn, see the landmarks, and visit the Pizza establishments. Our tour guide was awesome, not only did she know the history of Brooklyn but she was very friendly and helpful with my mother who couldn't get around to easily. I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody visiting NY, it was a great way to spend the day and the other tourists we met on the trip were all great. Again, this was the highlight of our NY vacation and I would recommend this tour to everybody. |

We had 4 days to spend in New York. With so much to do in so little time, it might seem like a lot to spend 4.5 hours in an "outer borough". But hey, it's Brooklyn, and Tony is just the guy to show you around. We lived in Brooklyn for over 25 years and we can vouch that he shows you the best and most interesting places. You will get the insights of a native Brooklynite who knows the insider scoop and has really studied up on the history of the places he takes his tour. He showed us a few new things we'd missed in all our years in the borough, and can't forget to mention the great pizza. |

First we were not sure if we should book at Pizza tour....you can have Pizza everywhere in New York, but it's not only a Pizzatour. It's a tour about Brooklyn combined with Pizza. We learnt a lot about Brooklyn, films and the people who lived there all packed together in a very funny and individual trip through Brooklyn with a unforgetable stop at Grimaldi's. The best is that you see the very long line of people waiting to get into Grimaldi's place and you pass it without any waiting time.
Thanks for the tour Toni!!!
Und jetzt auf deutsch:
Erst waren wir uns nicht sicher, ob wir eine Pizza Tour buchen sollten..Pizza kann man überall in New York essen, aber es ist nicht nur eine Pizzatour. Es ist eine Tour über Brookyln kombiniert mit Pizza. Wir haben viel über Brooklyn gelernt, über Film die dort gedreht wurden und die Leute die dort leben alles zusammengefast in einer sehr individuellen und witzigen Tour durch brooklyn und mit einem unvergesslichen Halt bei Grimaldi's. Das beste daran ist, dass man an dieser sehr langen Schlange von Leuen vorbeiläuft, die nur darauf warten hereinzukommen und man läuft einfach daran vorbei.
Danke für die tolle Tour Toni!!! |

This tour is fantastic, it was great to have a look outside the tourist areas of New York and see how the locals in Brooklyn live and eat! The pizza was the best we have ever had and Tony could not have been a better guide.
What a great day! |

We had a great time. Our guide was from Brooklyn so he told us a few family stories. Entertaining....great history of Brooklyn, Pizza's was fantastic. I'm hoping to someday to do the Christmas tour of Brooklyn. I've never been to Brooklyn before this trip and I have to say I was not disappointed! |

Paula is, as described in other reviews, delightfully mouthy. In fact, I think she should have t-shirts made that say as much. I'd buy that!
The day after the tour, we were visiting with some local friends and told them about all the things we learned. They decided they need to take that tour, too, and they've lived there their whole lives.
As for the pizza, my husband and I are a house divided in our preference. This is a debate that will live for years.
The very best part was skipping that painfully long line at Grimaldi's. Sometimes, it's good to be a tourist. Embrace it and fuhgeddaboutit. |

The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour was absolutely an excellent way to get a wonderful tour of some Brooklyn neighborhoods and sample a couple of famous Brooklyn Pizzas. The itinerary was perfect, the bus was very comfortable and our tour guide, Paula, did an outstanding job of describing the highlights of Brooklyn in a very entertaining and personable way. Paula took a great interest in everyone on the tour and genuinely wanted each of us to have a great experience. Paula is a native of Brooklyn and really brought the history and stories of Brooklyn to life. I am from Chicago, which is also a famous city for fantastic pizza. My conclusion is that there is great pizza in both Chicago and New York and it is impossible to rate one city over the other. Both of these great cities have many different and authentic varieties of pizza.with thousands of pizzareias to choose from. My recommendation is to definitely take the tour. You will have a fun time, especially if Paula leads the tour.

This was an awesome tour! Our guide Paula was funny and a great host.
Grimaldi's and L&B Spumoni Garden's pizzas were very different but both delicious... Make sure you save room for the 'rainbow spumoni' at L&B - yum!
All in all it's a great tour - we highly recommend it!! |

This tour was an excellent experience, and I would recommend it to anyone. My wife, and two boys (16 & 18) thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The bus seemed to be brand new, great ac, and our tour guide Paula was very dynamic and interesting. The two pizza stops were great, especially since we didn't wait at all, unlike all of the others standing in line outside the restaurant. The movie clips were lined up with the location of the bus, which made it very interesting throughout the tour. All in all, this tour was the best part of our recent NYC vacation. |

Wanted to do something different while visiting NYC for a few days. This certainly fit the bill. Never knew Brooklyn could have so much to see.Especially appreciated all the research done on movie clips shown while driving by the locations. Had a great time and spreading the word to friends |

A Must Do Tour to escape Manhatten

Excellent guide who provided a wealth of information and her vibrant personality made the tour really fun. I found the price a little steep but lunch including pop was provided at the 2 pizza stops so taking that into consideration it wasn't so bad. Plus we were taken right to our tables with waiter service and no lining up. I liked the fact that we weren't on the bus the whole time with stops at the Brooklyn Bridge and Cooney Island. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to escape the hustle of Manhatten for a few hours. I would definately use this company again and am anxious to try their other tours next time I return to NYC. Hassle free pick up and drop off.Tour guide even took the extra time to make sure everyone knew their whereabouts when the tour ended and how to access the public transit. Excellent...very enjoyable afternoon. |
