What are The Best Pizza Tours to Do in NYC?
You can’t go to New York City without stopping for a world famous slice of pizza. But did you know that it’s estimated that there are over 1,700 pizza places registered in NYC alone? With literally thousands of options, where on earth would you start if you’re looking for the perfect pepperoni, magical margherita or sizzling Hawaiian pizza?
One of the best things to do is to book into one of the innumerable pizza tours that run in the city almost every day. Most of these tours don’t just give you a literal taste-test of the best pizza restaurants, they often mix in local history and help you become more orientated in one of the world’s busiest and most exciting cities.
