| This was one of the most fun activities I have done in NY in a long time. Scott was born to be a tour guide and makes the tour extremely funny and entertaining. Worth every penny, you will not be dissapointed! |

| Scott's Pizza Tour was fantastic--it's great for anyone from 5 to 95. I walked up to the tour feeling like I had a pretty decent understanding of pizza and what I liked about it, but I walked away from the school bus at the end of the tour with a newfound respect and appreciation for the international food.
Scott is enthusiastic and gregarious, and immediately makes everyone feel at home. He's incredibly knowledgeable about pizza, loves hearing what you think, your questions, and even recommendations on places to chow down on some good pizza.
I plan on recommending this to any family or friends (or coworkers or even perfect strangers) looking for something to do while in NYC. The pizza locations are always changing, but they're delicious without a doubt.
If you have the time to spare and if you like or love pizza, this is the tour for you. You'll have a blast, you'll eat wonderful pizza, you'll laugh and at the end of it, you'll walk away as an even bigger fan of the cheesy goodness than you were to start with.
Mangia! |

| This was an excellent way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The pizza was amazing, and Scott really knew his stuff! If you're looking for a good, relaxing time, and want to laugh while learning about pizza, then this is the trip for you! |

| We went on this tour on the 24th May which was our last day in New York. This trip was worth every bit of the money and ended our trip in style and with great memories.
We went on 2 other tours whilst in New York and these were ok but felt they were a ticket at times to commercial venues where the guides would ultimately get commission for getting clients into the venue. These guides were always hinting for tips as well.
Scotts Pizza Tours was the complete opposite, a guy genuinely interested in sharing his excellent knowledge and history of pizzas with you and not prepared to sell out to the commericalism of other tours.
The tour started in Little Italy before progressing into Harlem and the Bronx and well off the tourist trap. Also interestly these venues offered some of the cheapest drinks whilst in New York and also gave us excellent slices of pizza.
It was great to venture into parts of New York we would not have previously found and nice to meet some genuine local people.
You get to travel around in a school bus which was exceptionally clean and comfortable and are given a really cool goodie bag. (I will not spoil the surprise)
Scott is an exceptionable tour guide, up there with the best (and I have travelled to many countries over the years) and I severley recommend that this tour is undertaken as part of any trip to New York.
It was in my top 3 highlights of New York which included the Statue of Liberty and Broardway shows.
Again many thanks for the cream soda for my 40th birthday and helping to make the tour all that special for both myself and my wife. Thanks also for your directions and tips for the shops we needed to find before heading home. |

| This was a great activity to do. We were 5 sisters that live in different states and we spent the week -end in New York. We grew up on the East Coast and really miss good pizza! The pizza was the best and we learned alot from Scott! We ate a pizzeria in Manhattan, Harlem and 2 in the Bronx! It was awesome. I am getting hungry writing this. We laughed alot and had a great group. |

| I surprised my husband with the pizza tour after reading others reviews and trusting it would be good. I was a little concerned he'd think I'd lost my mind with only 4 days to tour NYC with so much to see and do to spend 4 hours on a pizza tour. But I threw caution to the wind and did it anyway. My husband loved it as much or more than I did. Great food, great company, great Scott... We'd do it again if we get back there. |

| Scott is an enthusiastic pizza lover who has a wealth of knowledge about all things pizza related. We thouroughly enjoyed his bus tour around 4 of New Yorks more authentic pizza restaurants. The bus journey in the school bus was also great as we got to visit places we would otherwise have not made an effort to visit. We absoulutely loved Del Corso in Brooklyn and were treated to a demonstration of pizza dough throwing by the owner who is a champion in this field, his chef also did a some brilliant impressions of some of his customers including a russian, a chinese and a caribean complete with accents. The pizza was one of the best we have ever had.
I would highly recommend this tour, its also a great way to meet people as we met a lot of people from different parts of the USA, Canada and Australia. Our group had only 14 people which integrated well....Highly recommended! |
