Walking Pizza Tours
A walk in New York isn’t complete without a Slice (or three)
All of our walking tours apply the same concept to different neighborhoods: visit 3 pizzerias, each demonstrating a different style found in NYC. Just choose the neighborhood or date that works for you. We only run tours in neighborhoods that are Pizza Dense, Pizza Diverse, and Pizza Delicious!
Pizzeria stops are always rotating; your guide will customize the route based on the group! The map below shows each tour's meeting point as well as the pizzerias within range (desktop view only).

Tour Details
All walking tours follow the same pattern. You’ll visit three pizzerias that demonstrate different moments in the history of pizza, touring the kitchens and eating a slice at each stop. The big difference between the tours is their neighborhoods. If you’re looking to visit a particular pizzeria, choose the tours whose starting point is closest to it.
All tours include a full slice at each pizzeria stop, kitchen tours, in-depth pizza analysis, and everybody gets a take-home Pocket Pizza Journal to help track their tastings.
All tours run rain or shine. Tour itineraries may change if weather becomes a problem but we will always run complete tours. Please remember to wear comfortable shoes and dress appropriately, as we will be outside for most of the tour.
Tours have a limited capacity and often sell out. If you are planning to make reservations for several people, it’s a good idea to purchase tickets well in advance. We also run private tours if a public tour is unavailable at your preferred time.
Children under the age of 4 are welcome to join us free of charge as long as you are willing to share your slices with them. Limit is one child under 4 per adult. All others must purchase a general ticket.
Our tour stops change every day! Your guide will route your group based on what they think the group will enjoy but we always try to visit a mix of styles. Take a look at the map above for each tour’s meeting point; you’ll hit three pizzerias within 1 mile of that location.
It is highly recommended that you bring a refillable container for water. We discourage the use of bottled water, as New York’s tap water is among the cleanest and tastiest in the country. You’ll also want to bring a camera, your love of adventure and an insatiable appetite.
Most of the walking tours are wheelchair accessible. The only walking tours that are not fully accessible yet are the West Village and Downtown Brooklyn tours, which have steps getting into the first pizzerias.

Faqs
YES! No matter how long you’ve lived in New York there are certainly pizzerias you have never visited. In fact, New Yorkers tend to be least aware of the pizza possibilities in their own backyards!
YES! Your guide is licensed by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs to take you on a unique NYC tour by way of its pizza. Most tourists want to see the city and eat its pizza; Scott’s Pizza Tours let you do both!
Participants are provided with at least one slice at each of the three pizzerias we visit. If you fall in love with a particular slice, feel free to order a pie or two to-go.
We don’t! The group will only taste slices of cheese pizza. This maintains a uniform standard upon which to evaluate the slices we consume. It also means that all of our public walking tours are vegetarian friendly! If you would like any extra slices with toppings, you may order them at your own cost.
ALL of our public tours are vegetarian! Since we serve pizza composed of the holy trinity of cheese-sauce-crust, anyone who wishes to avoid gluten, lactose, cheese, or anything else is welcome to purchase their own pizza whenever possible. Please be advised that gluten free pizza may not be available on every public tour.
