New York City Activities & Fun Things to Do – Pizza Tasting Tours by Bus or Foot! (NYC, NY) | Scott's Pizza Tours
Slice: The Pizza Express
Slice editor Adam Kuban had the privilege of being on the inaugural test run of the NYC Pizza Bus. Here’s some of what he had to say:
This afternoon I had the pleasure of riding aboard what I’ll call the Scott Wiener Pizza Express.
Scott Wiener is a true pizza lover, one who keeps a pizza journal that’s legendary among those who know him, and his love and enthusiasm for the pie is truly infectious. So much so that a little more than 20 people showed up for a tour that would take us from Prospect Heights to deep Brooklyn, up to East Harlem, and back again to Brooklyn (see map, after the jump).
Here’s another:
We made quick work of Franny’s since we had a long day ahead and then boarded the bus for the first time. It’s been ages since I’ve been on a school bus, but it was like old times, especially with Scott leading the way, making the whole affair feel like some sort of crazy field trip. He had this thing amazingly organized, with a bullhorn to make announcements, a cooler full of water for the ride, and a little goodie bag that held chocolates, a mini journal and pen for taking pizza notes, and a container of lemon-lime Tic Tacs, “for cleansing the palate.”
And another.
They went well, very well, I thought, thanks to Scott and his amiable group of pizza lovers. I’m now waiting for Pizza Express II.
