Beginning with traditional wood-fired brick ovens and extending through contemporary corner slice establishments, this curated tour traces the fascinating evolution of pizza through a comprehensive analysis of its historical development and technological advancement.
What Your Tour Includes:
Every tour experience features a complete pizza slice at each pizzeria location visited, opportunities to explore working kitchens, detailed commentary and examination of pizza styles and preparation methods, and a take-home Pocket Pizza Journal for documenting your tastings and observations.
Regarding Weather and Appropriate Attire:
Tours operate in all weather conditions without exception. Tour schedules may require adjustment if severe weather creates unsafe conditions, though we remain committed to conducting complete, thorough tours. Participants should wear comfortable footwear and choose clothing appropriate for outdoor activities, as the majority of the tour occurs outside.
Accessibility Information:
- Entry to the first pizzeria location requires navigating steps; however, the remainder of the tour is fully wheelchair accessible.
- Restroom facilities are available at the majority of pizzeria locations.
- Most walking tour routes accommodate wheelchairs and mobility devices. The West Village and Downtown Brooklyn tours currently have limitations, as entry to the first pizzerias requires navigating steps and these sections are not yet fully accessible
Items to Bring Along:
- We strongly encourage bringing a reusable water bottle or container. We actively discourage single-use bottled water, as New York City's municipal tap water ranks among the cleanest and highest-quality water supplies nationally.
- Please bring a face mask, as tour guides may request its use while touring the interior kitchen spaces of pizzeria establishments.
Tour Location:
This tour route covers pizzeria destinations in the West Village, Greenwich Village, and potentially Soho, all located in Manhattan proper. Detailed starting point information will be provided with your ticket confirmation documentation. The tour concludes approximately 10 minutes from the starting location; however, because pizzeria selections vary with each tour offering, the precise ending point remains undisclosed until the tour commences.
