Pizza Tour
I actually ran into a pizza tour website while checking out things to do in NYC last year. I admit I love pizza and I am sure others do not have such a wild affection for it as myself.
I was planning on doing the tour sometime, but decided to see if anyone wanted to tag along.
The website is:
http://www.scottspizzatours.com/
There are two tours. A walking tour is $35 and a bus is $55 (Sundays). They are 3 to 4.5 hours depending on the tour.
Info from the site:
Trace back both 19th-century Italian immigration and pizza history from Manhattan's Little Italy to historic Greenwich Village. Along the way, you'll eat slices from century-old brick ovens and classic slice shops!
Find:
The birthplace of modern pizza
Manhattan's Little Italy
The country's oldest Italian cheese shop
Pizza's secret health benefits
A classic New York street slice
Two century-old coal burning brick ovens
New York's pizza oven workshop
You'll visit pizzerias heralded by Zagat's, AOL City Guide, Time Out New York, the Food Network and New Yorkers alike as the city's best. The Pizza Walk is New York's most comprehensive culinary expedition!

I am totally interested, and I bet I've got a handful of friends who would be too.

Well I guess we first have to figure out the tour we want.
The bus tour is 4.5 hours, starts at 11 am on Sundays. It is $55. It will go through Manhattan and another borough. You check out 4 pizza joints
The other one is a 1.5 mile walk over 3 hours and you check out 3 pizza joints for $33. It also starts at 11 am on weekdays and Saturday.
If we want to do a Saturday we probably have to do it more than a week in advance because that books up.
Depending on the group size I can see if we can get a private tour. I think they said 32 is the optimal number because they can buy 4 pies (32 slices). Don't ask :)
Update:
On the website it seems like they want at least 2 months notice for a private event. Strange, but ok! I will see how things go.
I do know before the summer is up I am going to go to Pete and Eldas because I need to compete!

I'm glad you think so James. I guess you are in. So I guess all we need is a vote to when. I can't do it until August since I will be gone next week.

Looks like 8 people are interested from the site and Amanda said she has X amount of friends too. Again we just need to throw out which one people are interested in. Who is interested in the bus? I am assuming we are working with Saturday and Sunday?

Sounds interesting but depends on the day picked. Personally, the walking tour sounds like more fun ... but I like to walk.
