scott is great. enthusiastic and knowledgable.
i wouldn't recommend going to joe's. It wasn't that great to me. but i guess u need something to compare great pizza to. Lombardi's was a good stop and so was John's.
I didn't like going to the shop where the pizza ovens were made. I think we could have gone without that. I wanted to go to more pizza stops. |

My husband and I has a wonderful time on this tour! Scott was very knowledgable and entertaining. He presented a lot of interesting facts and tidbits. We learned a lot about how the different pizzerias make pizza and what the best ingredients are. I would reccomend this tour to anyone looking for something a bit different. |

Scott makes this tour a lot of fun. His personality ,sense of humor and energetic love for all things pizza is as entertaining as his knowledge of the pizza history in New York. This is a great way to stroll some of the neighborhoods, be entertained for a few hours and eat great pizza. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an off beat way to see the real New York and learn something new in the process. |

Scott is hands down one of the most passionate people I've ever met. And man does he know about pizza!!
We met at the site of the first pizzeria in America and then walked around Soho, learning about the origins of pizza in New York. We visited the oldest cheese shop in America (Alleva) for a sample of freshly made mozzarella.
Then we went to 3 pizzerias - the first (licensed as the first pizzeria in 1905), with a coal oven and fresh moz, one with the quintessential New York giant greasy slice, and finally a descendant of the first pizzeria, which used a coal oven but aged cheese.
All along the way, we learned random pizza history and facts, as well as other New York history, and got to walk all around interesting neighborhoods. We also visited a restaurant supply store and a tiny factory where they make pizza ovens by hand.
Scott is a terrific tour guide: very friendly, approachable, fun to chat with, and entertaining. This tour is great for singles, groups of friends, couples, and families - I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone! |

You won't find a more enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide about the fascinating role pizza plays in New York City. This tour has lots to offer for all levels of interest, from the merely curious and hungry, to those really wanting to dive into the cultural (and genetic) history of the lowly pizza pie. Scott is engaging and accessible, making sure everyone feels included--and full. |
