Behind-the-Scenes Chicago Pizza Tour

Behind-the-Scenes Chicago Pizza Tour

I would definetly recommend Chicago Pizza Tour to first time visitors to Chicago. In my opinion, this tour is the best way to explore and enjoy Chicago style pizza like locals.

Chicago Pizza Tour definitely offers the best and the most exclusive view inside four famous Chicago pizzerias.

It is not just a food tour of the well known pizza shops in the city, but a 3.5-hour journey during which you get to travel to small shops where locals enjoy their pizzas.

The Chicago pizza tour guides know all the chefs quite well that relationship gets an insider’s view of the kitchen.

An expert chef would also instruct you about the tricks of making an exceptional pizza. Moreover, you get to sample a slice each at 4 of the best picks of the day.

Hence, you get to try the famed Chicago-style (deep-dish) pizza, the tavern-style (thin-crust) and Neapolitan (coal oven) pizza, all in a single day.

For tourists, this is the best opportunity to taste different kinds of Chicago-style pizza in guided pizza tour.
