Scott's enthusiasm and knowledge made for a brilliant tour. He's a massive unashamed pizza 'geek' and was friendly and accomodating to everyone on the tour. The pizza places he took us to were great - in particular, Lombardi's... yum. That place is awesome. Would recommend this to anyone visiting New York for something different.

Scott is lovely and very enthusiastic about his subject, he also takes you around (in my opinion) to the best areas of New York. He knows waht he's talking about, and as a result you get to eat the best pizza too! Highly recommended

The Pizza tour was the highlight of our trip

My son and I were in New York on a foodies vacation. He is the General Manager and Chef at a Pizza restaurant and wine bar in the midwest. We had a great time, Scott's knowledge of pizza is amazing. My son learned a lot and got some great ideas. I would think anyone that has a interest in pizza/New York would like this tour. Our group ranged in age from a child to retired. There was a guy from the neighborhood in our group, people from from both coasts of the United States and in between and a couple from England and a couple from Australia. Scott made it interesting for all of us. I would recommeded this tour to anyone that is interested in why their food is what it is and why it isn't all the same. Plus the tour includes a lot of New York history. And New York Pizza is really good, you get to eat 3 different kinds.

We had a fantastic time...it was different than your regular tours which is what we were looking for. The tour guide, Scott, was so enthusistic and fun I think everyone will look at pizza in a different light now.

Learn about the history of pizza, see where mozzarella is made, see the oldest pizza places in New York, listen to hilarious stories about pizza, and see where pizza making machines are made. Scott treats pizza like wine - knows how it's made, knows everything there is to know - about ovens, the way it's cooked, the families that make it, everything. Scott's knows everything about pizza, is always researching, always listening. take this tour. it's better than any new york city tour i've been on, maybe better than any tour i've been on. Scott has tried literally thousands of slices around the world. When an Israeli tourist walked by and asked for a brochure, he knew all about how Israeli pizza is delivered and how it tastes. After eating some of the best pizza in NY, we asked him what is his favorite of all time. Even though Scott has had some of the best and highest quality pizza, and pals around with the oldest pizza families in NY he's far from a snob or strict person about pizza. He always says if you like it, then it's good. His favorite pizza is from his hometown pizzeria in New Jersey, the slice he had when he was 8 years old.

I thought I loved pizza, but Scott takes the cake!

Scott's Pizza Tour was my favorite activity in NYC. He is so enthusiastic about pizza and pizza history that it was making me excited too. It was great to see all the sights and hear all his stories about the origins of pizza in America. And the slices along the way were great!

The History of Pizza in 3 Hours

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Scott provides not only the history of pizza as we now know it but adds to the science of pizza-making, including the different gluten properties of summer and winter wheat, water pH in the New York water basin, etc. And he does this with incredible humor, personality, and FUN! The unique walk through Little Italy and Greenwich Village makes you feel like a part of the New York culture. Scott's devotion to you on this tour and his passion for pizza is unsurmountable.

Scott is an engaging and entertaining tour guide who teaches you way more about pizza than you ever thought possible. It's a great way to spend a few hours in New York, well worth your money and time. I have a whole new appreciation for pizza, I now feel like a pizza connoisseur.

Excellent tour for tourists and locals

As though walking around town and eating pizza wasn't a good enough way to spend a Saturday afternoon, Scott's Pizza Tour completely exceeds expectations with a mind-blowing breadth and depth of pizza expertise. As evidenced by the rest of the reviews, it's obvious that Scott's relentless pizza research and travel has really made the tour top notch. As a local, outside of picking up a few new fave pizza spots, I particularly appreciated learning about a dairy shop that claims to be 'the oldest Italian cheese store in America' (amazing cheeses at seriously affordable prices) and a pizzeria supply store that puts Brooklyn Kitchen to shame. As someone who is generally adverse to structured tours and those who go on them, I've got to give it to Scott for pulling together such a pizzawesome adventure.
