Tour Location

About this Tour
From coal-fired brick ovens to corner slice shops, this tour follows the evolution of pizza by visiting 3 incredible NYC pizzerias. Your guide will take you behind the scenes where you'll meet the pizza makers and assorted characters behind the city's top shops.
The Greenwich Village tour starts at a coal-fired pizzeria that has been around since 1915. You'll learn about NYC's pizza origins by way of a rarely discussed pizzeria lineage. From there, your guide will select two additional pizzerias in the Greenwich Village neighborhood that exhibit distinct styles. We carefully select neighborhoods that are pizza-dense, pizza-diverse, and pizza-delicious. That means your tour will be a unique combination of pizzerias based on what your guide prescribes.
Our tours area all about pizza. We don't stop and talk about history unless it's relevant to the development of pizza. We are specialists, and that's why our tours are so in-depth. You won't think about pizza the same way ever again!
Your Guide
We don't hire standard tour guides, we bring on specialists. Everyone on our team not only has a passion for pizza, but also a deep bank of knowledge. Our founder Scott regularly leads the crew in continuing education sessions, whereby he shares new insights into historical research, pizza science, and the latest happenings in the pizza industry. Every guide is licensed as a sightseeing guide by the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs.
Tickets
We offer instant confirmation via email! No need to print your ticket, just show us the confirmation email and you'll be set. ADVANCE PURCHASE IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED, as tours usually sell out in advance. Kids under 4 are welcome to join for free but won't receive their own slice so be prepared to share.
Weather & Attire
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.
Accessibility
This tour is wheelchair accessible. Restrooms will also be available to customers at all pizzerias.
Dietary Restrictions
Our tours feature a comparison of cheese pizzas, which means everything we serve will be made of dough, tomato sauce, and mozzarella cheese. All public tours are vegetarian! While we cannot provide slices to fit dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free, tomatophobic) we will do our best to route the tour to at least 1 pizzeria that serves something you can eat. You will be able to purchase pizza to fit your dietary restriction. We'll also give you a discount code to knock down your ticket price. Please email us in advance!

What's Included
All tours include pizza tastings, kitchen tours, in-depth pizza analysis, and everybody gets a take-home Pocket Pizza Journal to help keep track of your slices.
Weather & Attire
All tours run rain or shine, please dress appropriately. If we need to cancel in the case of severe weather, we'll contact you 2 hours before your tour is scheduled to begin.
Where do I meet my guide?
The Greenwich Village Pizza Walk starts at John's of Bleecker Street (278 Bleecker St). There's another pizzeria across the street called Bleecker Street Pizza, but that's not where the tour starts. If you don't see your guide outside the pizzeria and it's within 10 minutes of your tour's start time, just go inside the pizzeria and ask for the pizza tour.
What if I'm late?
Our tours start on time so please plan to be there before we begin or you might miss out on a slice. Every tour meets at your first pizzeria stop, which is where we'll be for the first 30 minutes of the tour. Since we route our tours as they go, we won't know where the group will be after your first pizzeria stop. Please be on time or you may miss the tour.
What should I bring?
We recommend bringing 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. Tips for your guide are not mandatory, but greatly appreciated.
