About Us
Meet the planet’s biggest pizza nerds
We're pizza lovers first, tour guides second. Our mission is to welcome you into the fold of NYC's storied pizza culture. We do that by having great relationships with the people who make the best pizza in New York City. We support them as small businesses by purchasing their food and telling their stories. Pizza isn't just their job; pizza is their being. You may think it's only a tasty food, but pizza is science, history, culture, and people...and also cheese.

Scott Wiener
SPT's founder is a leading voice in the pizza community. As a monthly columnist for Pizza Today Magazine, host of Thrillist's Really Dough, and Guinness World Record holder for largest collection of pizza boxes, it's clear that he turned obsession into a lifestyle.
Scott Wiener
Scott’s love for pizza began in suburban New Jersey, where weekly pizza runs created a subliminal dietary requirement. A simple love of pizza turned into obsession as he realized the history, science, and culture of pizza ran much deeper than previously thought. Weekly expeditions to historic pizzerias stirred up interest among family and friends, leading to an epic birthday party celebration that involved a school bus, a megaphone, and 26 friends. Six months later, Scott launched Scott’s Pizza Tours as a way of channeling his desire to teach the deeper story of pizza. Now, Scott is a full-time pizza enthusiast, sharing his love with inquisitive pizza lovers.
Beyond running pizza tours, Scott also writes an award-winning column for Pizza Today Magazine, contributes to PMQ’s Pizza Magazine and PizzaMarketplace.com and judges pizza culinary competitions across the planet. Scott’s pizza pontifications have been featured on the CBS Sunday Morning, The Dr Oz Show, Travel Channel, Cooking Channel, Food Network, Discovery Channel, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Viceland, New York Magazine and millions of other tasty media outlets. Scott’s tours have been featured as a top tour on TripAdvisor, Yelp, Lonely Planet, Rough Guides and several others. He is also the author of Viva La Pizza! The Art of the Pizza Box, a book about his Guinness World Record collection of pizza boxes. There’s also a full-length documentary about Scott’s pizza-filled lifestyle.
Scott runs every Sunday NYC Pizza Bus tour as well as a revolving schedule of public tours, private events, and online classes with his team of mighty pizza spirit guides.

Alexis Guerreros
Growing up in the remains of an old Italian neighborhood in New Jersey, pizza was what Alexis’s family ordered when his grandmother was too tired to cook. Later, when he started playing school sports, he would wait for the team bus directly in front of Frank’s Pizzeria.
Alexis Guerreros
Growing up in the remains of an old Italian neighborhood in New Jersey, pizza was what Alexis’s family ordered when his grandmother was too tired to cook. Later, when he started playing school sports, he would wait for the team bus directly in front of Frank’s Pizzeria. It was one of those places that had the formica benches and tables, a long counter, the fruit punch fountain machine, and a bunch of loitering guys with attitudes. A friend’s older brother would hook Alexis up with a slice to keep him company on the bus ride.
As a comedian who performs multiple times a night, pizza is still a very important part of life for Alexis.He enjoys many pizzas, but none as much as the one in front of him

Amy Rothberger
Amy grew up outside of Detroit but insists there’s New York in her blood, as her father was proudly born and raised in Brooklyn. She spent every winter break as a child piling into the station wagon (and subsequently the minivan) to drive 10+ hours to Brooklyn to visit family.
Amy Rothberger
Amy grew up outside of Detroit but insists there’s New York in her blood, as her father was proudly born and raised in Brooklyn. She spent every winter break as a child piling into the station wagon (and subsequently the minivan) to drive 10+ hours to Brooklyn to visit family. A pie from the corner pizzeria was generally the first order of business upon arrival, even before the car was unloaded. This prioritization of pizza stuck with her, and still informs many of her choices. Amy went to school in Washington, DC, where she probably should have studied urban planning, but instead got a degree in Middle Eastern Studies. She geeks out on urban transit and sanitation infrastructure, has visited all 50 states, and believes strongly in the serial comma for lists of three or more. Her motto is “no carb left behind.
