| Great tour. Scott is fantastic. Recommend it to all adults - kids would likely be bored though. |

| Yellow school bus that stops at four different pizzerias, where you can sample a slice and learn about pizza at the same time. |

| The beauty of this tour is that it's a complete change of atmosphere from the more conventional tourism you find on a city break. Instead of a) planning your own itinerary and b) hauling yourself about, you get the lovely Scott and his patient driver Ronnie looking after you, and all you have to do is follow them around from bus to pizzeria to bus to pizzeria (to bakery, even if the last thing you need is more food). As a result, you can relax, chat, listen and eat.
The pizza is good pizza. Not necessarily great pizza - perhaps NY style isn't entirely my thing - but authentic and made with love by family firms, all established NY characters. But what makes the tour is Scott - friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable (although he doesn't bore you with facts and history, you feel he could probably spend hours and hours pontificating on every nuance of pizza) and relaxed. You come away wishing he was your best friend. This vibe also translates to the other tourgoers, and it's all very friendly and informal.
Four and a half hours may seem a long time to eat four slices of pizza, but it's just right. It's also a great way to get out of Manhattan, if only for a couple of hours, and the school bus is a brilliant and characterful idea. The tour was definitely a highlight of the trip, and left me feeling warm - and full - all over. |

| This was the highlight of my New York weekend! What a surprise to learn so much about every aspect of my favorite food! Scott was an incredible scholar and showman! There wasn't a question he couldn't answer to some depth. He was fascinating and charming. The first thing I did when I got home was to search my pantry to examine my cans of crushed tomatoes for the right ingredients! It was just like a wine tasting - we were totally involved in the experience. Thank you Scotty's Pizza Tour! |

| Scott was incredibly fun and enthusiastic. He waxed on about how pizzas are made, shared with us great stories about little pizza shops and kept us amused for 4 hours, yet the time went so quickly. He took us to very different pizza places, each one filled with its history of pizza making. Great for families, including teens. Mine loved the tour. I would definitely go again. Scott has a list of great pizzas so we would be testing different ones. |

| This is a great tour for anyone who is a real foodie...It great to find someone who actually enjoys what they do and doesn't see it just as a job. It's Scott's personal goal to try and make you just as enthusiastic about pizza as he is. I would highly recommend this to anyone |

| Scott provided an enthusiastic tour of 4 pizza restaurants/pizzarias. He took us to Nolita, East Harlem, Astoria in Queens and the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn but the locations vary with each trip. He provided us with history of pizza in NYC as well as the differences in pizza styles. This was done in an interesting manner with plenty of breaks so that it did not grow tiresome. If you want a change from the usual AMNH, Met, Empire State Bldg., etc., this if for you.

| I have been living in NY for about 4 years, and always look for fun things to do when relatives come to town. It's a wonderful 4.5 hr experience, that is filled with Scott's pizza wisdom and eating delicious slices. I would recommend this tour to anyone! It's GREAT! |
