| We had so much fun on the PizzaTour! Scott is extremely entertaining and there is nothing he doesn't know about the history of the pizza, where to find the best pizza (practically all over the world!) and the various types of pizza!! I've never seen anyone so dedicated and passionate about the topic before - I'll never look at a pizzeria the same way again. We walked in a trendy part of the city, talked a lot about pizza and ate at 3 pizza joints. It was definitely something unique to do in the city - and well worth the money.
A couple of things to keep in mind - this tour does not talk about the history of the city or the area. We got one or two tidbits, but it is primarily (as the name suggests) all about pizza for 3-hours. Have a snack before you go - you will eat big slices of pizza, but there is a lot of down-time between pizzerias. It was enough to fill us up at the end of the tour (we considered it lunch) but a snack right before the tour would have been a good call.
In summary, if you like pizza definitely take this tour. Scott is extremely qualified and great at what he does. |

| Scott is quite a character, we've never met someone so enthusiastic about pizza and knowledgable about pizza. It was great that you get a slice at a couple really awesome pizzarias that you can normally only get one slice.
Scott's knowledge of pizza and his methods that he teaches you is really fun. Now whenever I get a slice of pizza, I can figure out why it's good (or bad), what type of oven it's cooked in and feel like a real connoisseur.
He's also really straight forward about what he does and doesn't know fact-wise, so that's nice that he's not just BSing you.
We'd definately recommend this to anyone looking for some delicious pizza and a fun 3-or-so hours. |

If you are passionate about pizza, try this tour.

| The tour provides one with the opportunity to learn and eat pizza. The walk is not hectic and Scot has the ability to be heard over the din of what qualifies ass a noisy experience.
I think the pizza we tried was mostly generic; however, Lombardi's at the corner of Mott and Spring Streets in lower Manhattan wins hands down.
There should be an included soft drink with the pizza. Water does not do much for pizza and to pay $6 for a bottle of beer is just too much.
The quality of the pizza was not altogether great but Lombardi's is a pizza I would like to see other NYC restaurants. |

| I had a great time! Our tour guide seemed to enjoy every facette of pizza! Not only were we treated to eating @ some of the best pizzeria's. We are treated their histories and able to sample some fresh 28 min old Mozzarella cheeze! Along the tour our guide was very informative and had a great sense of humor! Would definitely recommend this foot tour to anyone interested in great NY Pizza! |

| We loved Scott's Pizza tour. Scott was both passionate and knowledgeable. We loved learning all about the history of Pizza, how it is made, the ingredients used and a tour of little Italy and beyond. And the Pizza was delicious. We would recommend it to anyone and will. |
