Viator Traveler's Reviews
We love Chicago and love pizza and thought this was a great way to sample some of Chicago's finest. We were taken to all home-owned pizzerias, provided with something other than your standard pepperoni and sausage pizza (each pizzeria has its own unique specialty) and we also received a narrated tour of Chicago as we traveled from Pizzeria A to B to C to D and back! Great thing about this tour is you can take it several times and go to different establishments each time! A must do!
It was a lot of fun and the young tour guide was funny and energetic. The bus was hot and not air conditioned like advertised. I didn't like all the pizza places we went to. I always thought I liked deep dish pizza but didn't like any of the deep dishes we tried. The thin curst place with the coal fire pizza oven was the best but then again I'm from the west coast where thin crust is where it's at. Fun tour though. I'd do it again if I could pick the pizzerias.
