An amazing tour of both Chicago and it's pizzerias. Learn fun facts about the city and the endless amounts of pizza we consume. Danny and Cary are both very knowledgeable and friendly. They know their city well. We had an 8-person group (there were about 16 total on the tour) and they were able ...

The whole experience was great. Kevin was our guide. Funny and informative. There is plenty of pizza! My worry was that you would only get one slice at each place. NOPE! There was so much pizza. I couldnt finish everything at the last two stops. It's worth the tour price for sure!

I think we had a sopressata with chilis and a veggie pizza with mushrooms and onions. Both were delicio...

This experience was so much fun! We visited three locally-owned pizza places (no big chains here!!!) and were treated to five very different types of pizza--not just different types of toppings, but different styles of pizza making. All of the pizzas were delicious, but by far the best (most unusual...

This is hands down the *BEST* pizza in Berkeley in Chicago Pizza Tours
There is no comparison. Actually Chicago Pizza Tours's might be the best pizza I've ever had; I'd pick them over others including some well known pizzerias in
Chicago .

Wonderful tour not only to get a variety of pizza around the city, but to learn more about the history of Chicago. Greg did a phenomenal job - will definitely do this tour again when family visits from out of town. So much fun, and we were stuffed, no pun intended.
