This amazing forage into the world of pizza in the heart of New Haven’s Little Italy on Wooster Street takes you to some of the top-rated pizzerias in the country. We focus on pizza, history and pizza (did we mention that?) with a little stroll, and some beer and wine. The 3-3.5 hour tour visits the iconic Sally’s Apizza from 1938 including a plain tomato pie with garlic, mozzarella pie & white potato pie paired with their own Sally’s Apilz beer. After a digestive and historic walk we enter the welcoming Zeneli Pizzeria for their Neapolitan pizza including a pizza marinara & pizza margherita along with Italian beer or wine. We scooch over to GIOIA Market for a Sicilian style Margherita pizza where we get a chance to purchase Italian specialty products. Finally, we head back to New Haven style apizza at historic Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana from 1925 for a plain tomato pie with garlic, mozzarella pie & white clam pie along with some Genesee lager. All-in-all you will try nine different pizzas, have options for wine, beer and soda, and then get to vote on your favorite pizza of the day!

more than tasting some great food…fun and educational at the same time. Learned so much and got a new appreciation of New Haven.

Yelp Reviewer from Meriden, CT

This tour is worth every penny and then some! It was really neat to learn not only about the cuisine of the area, but also the history and architecture as well. We will most definitely be returning for a tour in the near future.
