Chicago Pizza Tours

“The tour was great.”

The tour was great. Highly recommend. James was an amazing tour guide. Easy going and easy to chat with. Told us lots of great stories and history without being annoying. The pizza was great at all 4 places but Pizano’s was our favorite.

“What a great time and delicious pizza.”

What a great time and delicious pizza! James was an excellent host/tour guide. The bus ride was cold with limited heat so bundle up if plan to go during cold weather.

“Chicago Pizza Tour is a phenomenal way to spend an afternoon.”

Chicago Pizza Tour is a phenomenal way to spend an afternoon! We did the Saturday bus tour and loved it. It starts out at Pizano's downtown, so it's great to pair with a morning in Millenium Park. We did Pizano's, Flo and Santo's, Coalfire, and Bartoli's. James is a funny, charismatic guy and he does a good job of trying to get a variety of pizzas to fit the group and any kind of toppings preferences. My wife and I lived in Chicago before and we learned many things that we had never heard before on the tour. Also a lot of good recommendations on other places to try and things to do. Definitely worth doing if you are in Chicago! We will be trying to do one of the walking pizza tours next time we are in town.

Great way to see pizza shops outside of the city that are locally owned and not to mention delicious. The guide is very informative and funny.

“John was amazing and just a wealth of knowledge.”

John was amazing and just a wealth of knowledge. Some one who grew up near Chicago, I was not familiar with the history of pizza in the city. John was very easy to talk to about the difference in pizza restaurants and share our experiences. Highly recommend this tour to anyone that loves pizza. You will see and taste a different side to the city.

“James was a fantastic guide for this tour.”

James was a fantastic guide for this tour! We learned about four different styles of pizza, and there was plenty of pizza to go around! Definitely arrive hungry - it is a lot of pizza to get through in a few hours… but it’s SO worth it!

“Had such a great time on this tour.”

Had such a great time on this tour! James, our guide, was super fun and made the whole experience really enjoyable. We tried a bunch of delicious pizzas at places I’d probably never find on my own. Ate way too much (no regrets!) and loved every stop. Thanks for an awesome day—definitely recommend it!

So much fun! We are a family from Chicago and love our pizza, but we wanted to learn and experience more. Our tour guide, James, did just that. He was full of excellent knowledge about the history of Chicago pizza and the history of Chicago. He was a lot of fun, and each pizza told a different story, all deliciously different. I highly recommend it for out-of-towners and our local folks. Thanks, James!

Amazing tour. Didn’t even know we had such in Chicago. Was just looking for a birthday present for my fiancé who loves pizza and stumbled upon this! James was the perfect tour guide, funny, knowledgeable, easy going and just made us all feel comfortable. Went to 4 pizza restaurants and they were all soooo good. We were rolling home stuffed! Amazing way to get to know some pizza history especially on the Lou Malnati family dynamics and history. Well worth doing! The school bus taking us to the different spots was nostalgic !
