Our guide, David, on St. Patrick's Day 2025. Exceptional  guy!
Adam H.

This private tour was a Christmas gift for my wife, a native New Yorker and pizzaholic. We traveled from Houston and did Pizza School NYC on a Saturday and Scott's Pizza Tours on the following Monday. Our guide, David, was marvelous. We could tell that he has studied the history of the places he took us to, but he also knew quite a bit about the science of pizza making. Further, he was extremely polite and just generally a fun dude to hang out with. It was very obvious that David did not consider this to be work, even though it's his job. We chose to have the majority of our tour was in Greenwich Village, and it included some rich, historical pizzerias. We had our favorites, but every location was clutch. And we returned to the hotel very full! We are national and international travelers, and we have taken our fair share of tours. Scott's Pizza Tours and our guide, David, rank near the top of our experiences.

I had Lucali's, Juliana's, and Table 87 on my own the nights before and was tired from overbooking my trip yet I went to Scott's pizza tour anyway. It was awesome! Scott had great energy. I went alone and sat with a few diff groups over the spots and everybody was very nice. Scott is happy to answer specific questions and seems to do a good job not letting anyone feel left out. Our first stop was at Keste, where Scott had the respect of the place to go behind the counter and grab some dough to show the group some of the concepts of making pizza in their oven. Scott determines the rest of the spots on the fly so some people can take the tour several times and he'll try and avoid duplicates. Be sure to let him know tho because I didn't say I just went to Table 87 and we ended up going there but I liked that place a lot anyway. I didn't realize how well known Scott was in the pizza community. Sounded like he serves as a judge for pizza contests and hits a lot of new places on his own for fun. If I'm ever in nyc for a week again I'll try and come again!

TLDR: Scott's Pizza Tours is a great experience and I highly recommend it whether you absolutely love pizza or you just want to see NY differently than you might have the opportunity to see it otherwise. I am also a Pizza Enthusiast and have seen Scott in Pizza: A Love Story, Scott's Pizza Tours, the Really Dough Thrillest series, etc. I have been wanting to go on a Sunday tour with Scott for several years and this is the third time I was booked but the first time it actually got to happen. Yay! We met at Kesté Pizza e Vino in the financial district and took the pizza bus to Queens for Philomena's in Sunnyside, Austin Street Pizza in Forest Hills, and John's Pizzeria in Elmhurst. In the same order we saw a pizza machine, a neighborhood place, a newer place where they are turning out a superior product, and a very old school NY neighborhood place. They are places I would not have known about or gotten to otherwise. It was a fun afternoon. I'm a tourist, but have eaten plenty of NYC pizza, and my friend and her nine year old daughter who were with me live in Queens. We all had a great time. My nine year old friend Scarlett was talking about dough hydration the rest of the day and has started leaving the cheese on her pizza when she eats it! There is something here for everyone. I didn't need to be walked around a neighborhood in Manhattan to sample places all within a few blocks of each other. What I wanted out of this experience was to hear what Scott had to say about dough, sauce, and cheese and eat some great pizzas and mission accomplished! It's so cool that Scott gets to do what he loves and figured out a way to monetize what he's passionate about. I could listen to the biga vs poolish and the Parmigiano Reggiano vs Grana Padano dialogue all day long! If I have one complaint it's that Scott may have dissed St. Louis style pizza and provel cheese! If you ever want a St. Louis pizza tour of only the finest provel let me know! I'd absolutely take another tour next time I'm in New York!

With Scott and mother/daughter owner of John's Pizzeria in Elmhurst, Queens.

Outstanding tour. I have been on four bus tours with Scott (including New Haven) and they only get better every time I take them. The tours are very educational, entertaining and a lot of fun. Plus you get to taste great pizza from all over the city. I highly appreciated yesterday when I asked Scott to go to an old school vintage neighborhood pizza joint and he changed his original plan to go there. A mensch and a class act who just wants people to enjoy themselves.

Excellent Neopolitan pizza.

My daughter and I just got back from the Sunday bus tour with Scott. She purchased this trip for me as a gift. It was phenomenal. He is a pizza savant. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all things pizza. Not just where to go to get good pizza, but about dough, sauce, cheese, ovens, temps, you name it, this guy can talk about it. We hit four pizzerias, I won't name them to spoil it, although it's mostly always different. The bus was great and we got to each place quickly. Scott sat and talked with most people who had tons of questions and some "philosophical" ones as well. If you get the chance to do this tour with Scott, I can't say enough about it. You will not be disappointed, and I will guarantee you will learn something. I would not hesitate to do it again. Thanks, Scott, for a great day.

Booked a private bus tour to celebrate a milestone birthday and Scott and his team created the BEST experience ever! I'm based in LA and was a bit worried about how all the coordination would work out, but Scott and team were super communicative in the weeks leading up to the tour, promptly and thoroughly answering all my questions and coming up with a logistical plan to accommodate our needs. The tour itself exceeded my expectations. The bus was sleek and clean. We visited 4 pizza places across Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn -- all different and all delicious in their own right. Scott is an incredibly charismatic and knowledgeable guide and our group of 17 had a blast learning about the different styles of pizza. I love that Scott emphasizes understanding the different nuances of pizza that make each pie unique. We all left with a deeper appreciation for the history and craft of pizza making. Thank you Scott and team for an excellent, 5 star experience!

pizza passport!

WOW my group had the best time with Scott's Pizza Tours. We did the Deluxe Bus Tour with a group of ~16 for a client outing. Our guide - Paul - was knowledgeable, charismatic, and made the experience unforgettable. Great food and unique drink pairings on the 4 stops, elite party bus (we did the BYOB option too). 10/10 would recommend and do again for a business or personal group outing.

Scott's Pizza Tours is the place for pizza tours in NY! This was my second time doing it, and had a wonderful time in the East Village with our Tour Guide, Asad. He did a great job making us feel welcome and cover every detail you could think of related to pizza. The pizzas at each stop were great representations of the style of pizza being showcased, and we learned a lot about the subtleties that make each different.

Is there availability Friday? There are 4 of us and how much walking is involved?

Happy to help, Chris! This Friday's tour is sold out but we do have availability on the November 19 tour if you'll be in town at that time. Our tours are always alternating pizzeria so the walk isn't the same every time, but we generally stick to… Read more

We made stops at a lot of old school NY places. Loved the history behind each place! I liked that the tour wasn't set in stone and he came up with different restaurants along the way. Dave was really interesting to talk to and we got some different sides of NYC history. I can't recommend this tour enough and I'd definitely go on another!

Where to begin? Was…read moreit the Checker Marathon cab? The food? Was it (the not at all) Fat Dave? Some things are just ethereal. Not to wax poetic on YELP but Famous Fat Dave's Food Tours penetrates deeply. Food touches the soul, culture touches the soul, history touches the soul, and so experiencing all of that with Dave touched my kids and my soul. The 'food tour' had that intangible "what makes something special" in spades. I am a native New Yorker, transplanted to the West Coast 20 years ago. I came to NYC, with my 2 kids and one of their friends after my dad passed (3 weeks ago) to experience it in a way that we haven't before. As a native, I'd never thought I would consider myself a tourist, but keeping an open mind and wishing for a special experience for the (teenage!) kids, I signed up. Dave literally transformed our visit. Dave's passion for food reflects his passion for life. He's academic, Bohemian, a foodie, a great (vintage cab) driver, a local, and at your service with a smile. Give Dave the type of food you want (or don't want!), the area you want to visit (or don't want!), the length of time and experience you want (or don't want!) and he will accommodate. Dave is responsive by text, phone, or email. He's relaxed, professional, caring, thoughtful, organized, and super well connected with the locals. Dave will show you as diverse a food experience as you want. We went to 9 places throughout the City and Brooklyn, in about 5 hrs. That was a lot, but it flowed so well! There's a lot of eating, so he paces you - trust him - he's done this many times (with some of the most celebrated chefs in the world as well - check out his website.) We broke up the tour for some digesting and a change of pace by visiting Coney Island and chillaxing (teen lingo) at the Boardwalk for about 45 or so minutes. Perfect time to recharge and have some more fun with the locals. Eating the best pizza, Italian sandwiches, Asian soups, and desserts in NY, at the cozy, hole in the wall, locally loved favorites (with all the personalities that come with that!), we were more than satisfied at the end!! Dave's Food Tours is memorable in every way. Some things just have to be experienced. This is one of them. On behalf of my fam, and especially my Dad... thank you Dave. PS. Ask Dave what's splattered and stuck on his microwave's wall ... and what's in his freezer!! Bound to get a good story and smile!

I admit I made his job more difficult than necessary due to the multiple changes I needed to make. Josh was courteous and helpful and, in no way, did he give me impression of being bothered. Andrea was the tour guide for myself and two friends. Our tour group was small which I felt was a stroke of luck. Andrea sent an email to each of us the day before our tour which reminded us of the tour, our meeting spot and time. She also noted that the tour would begin promptly at the scheduled time. She also asked if we had any dietary restrictions, food allergies or questions. I replied to her email asking for suggestions for places to visit after our tour had concluded. She responded promptly and gave us some helpful suggestions. Andrea cheerfully met us at the predetermined time. After introductions, Andrea gave us a brief overview of what we were to see, answered our questions and confirmed that there were no food allergies she needed to be aware of. We stopped at Faicco's Italian Specialties where we sampled soppressata and rice balls, a.k.a. Arancini in front of Faicco's. Both were excellent. As we snacked, Andrea gave us a history of the place. Our next stop was Bleeker Street Pizza. Andrea gave us a brief history before going in. We ate slices of of Nona Maria pizza. Then the previous owner, Greg Greenwood, joined us. He gave us a detailed history of the restaurant, which his brother, Captain Douglas Greenwood, opened in 2004. Captain Greenwood tragically passed away from 9/11 illness and ownership passed to Greg, who recently sold the pizzeria, although he still works there on Fridays. The pizza was fantastic! I will definitely visit again. As we walked through the West Village, Andrea gave us more history of the neighborhood, which included a home that was only 9 feet wide and a former speakeasy!! Our third stop was Hudson Bagels. where we shared two delicious, traditional New York bagels with cream cheese. Our fourth stop was Galanga, a Thai restaurant. We each had a corn fritter and Chicken Satay. I loved the fritters but thought the chicken was a bit plain. The fifth restaurant was Mamoun's Falafel. My boring palate did not enjoy this treat, but the others did. Lastly we had a cupcake at Molly's Cupcakes, opened by a former school teacher and schoolhouse themed. We each ordered different cupcakes, all of which were yummy. We ended the tour at our original meeting place. Andrea was wonderful, personable and informative. I inquired about other tours Andrea gave so that I can book another tour with Andrea.

But NYC has so much to offer especially in the way of food, so is smart to go with a real New Yorker. You learn about about everything New York on this tour and get into places without having to wait in line (makes you feel like a Big Macher!). The food is the best off the best and they give you too much! ;) I would definitely do another tour with these guys and whether it's your first trip or you were born here - this is a must!!!
