| As a Philadelphian, I always get guff from my brother-in-law - a native New Yorker - about how NYC pizza is so much better than any from Philadelphia. I always wanted to verify this claim, but had no idea where to start. Then I saw the link for Scott's Pizza Tours on the sidebar on Facebook, and thought it was a great opportunity. And it truly was - even more than I expected. Scott is a teriffic tour guide, quite knowledgeable and very entertaining. We took the bus tour - the Bronx Tour, actually - it was the thin crust pizza theme. I am told that he rotates the pizza types and restaurants often. I can honestly say that this was some of the best pizza I ever had - and the tutoring on the style, methods and ingredients all brought more enjoyment and understanding to the tasting. We had a small group with us, and rode around in a yellow school bus - which relived the fun and adventure of those summer field trips back in middle school. And appropriately so, since this was a very family friendly event. You only get one slice a person at each stop, and there are only four stops - so it doesnt sound like much for the price. But believe me - and I can eat pizza - you dont need anymore than that by the end of the tour. Scott has this all down to a science.
Is NYC pizza better than Philly? All I can tell you is now I 'get' NYC pizza, and it was great. I now have to turn my newly acquired skills onto targets closer to home. The jury is still out - but I plan to render a verdict after much deliberation, er...I mean digestion.
Again, it was great fun, and highly recommended - I would go again.
Thanks Scott!

| Whatever I write here will not do justice to how much we enjoyed Scott's tour or how highly we recommended it. Imagine a wine tour, but with pizza! You sample different pies, learn more about different cheeses, ovens, ingredients, and techniques. It was the high point of our weekend in New York and we are already looking forward to our next pizza tour! Bring a couple sodas with you, and you're good to go! |

| Whoa what can I say. Scott was enthusiastic about Pizza like no one I have ever met. He took the smallest piece of information and made it so interesting. We viewed pizza from the oven up and ate our way around three boroughs of New York. A great way to pass the time and I now know so much about Pizza I will dazzle my daughter in law (who is Italian)!! |

| Totally unique experience, you can't beat Scott's knowledge and infectious enthusiasm for all things pizza. I've lived in NYC for 20 years and never enjoyed myself as a tourist in my own town so much as this bus tour. Don't miss it! |

| After learning the history of the margarita (red, white and green) pizza and the original pizza (the triangle is new) I walked away with a new appreciation for Pizza. I am ‘ruined’ and will never look at pizza the same way.
Scott has the zeal to take Scott’s Pizza Tours beyond his imagination.
I will be back for my fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth slice of margarita pizza! |

| we had a great time! we took the bus tour and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. the other 'tourists' were fun and everyone was there to learn about and eat some good pizza. we were not disappointed. Scott is not only informative, but very entertaining as well. he has a passion for what he is doing and its contagious...we will be returning to New York in the fall with our three children and hope to do the walking tour with them. we are big food network fans....we think Scott will be headed to the 'bigs' one day soon. my husband and i will definately be recommending to all of our friends headed to the big apple!! |
