John is a wonderful tour guide- his knowledge of pizza is impressive and his energy and excitement are contagious! The tour was exactly as promised: four very different pizza spots, with large portions at each spot. The walking part was not too much or too tiring. Honestly, this was just a very informative and fun tour that I highly recommend!

We love making pizza and are always working toward making it better. We learned so much about the intricacies of making dough and building a great pizza. Our guide was amazing! We enjoyed trying different styles of pizza and getting to converse with some of the restaurant owners.

100% would recommend to a friend

Sara_R, May 2023

Jon knows his pizza! Me and my husband were so impressed with the information that Jon knew about pizzas. Cheese, sauce, the dough. He gave information how each pizzeria was created, and so interesting to hear about each one. We loved the variety of pizza he takes you to. We were in Chicago eating pizza that was recommended to us, but where he took us was hidden gems, way better then where everyone says you have to try. Loved the tour. Soo worth it!!!

For any pizza lover, a must tour

Patrice_S, Apr 2023

Excellent tour. Jonathan Porter, our guide, was outstanding. From helping with parking locations to his extensive knowledge of pizza, techniques, history and love of pizza made this tour a highlight of our stay in Chicago. Skip breakfast and lunch. You will be beyond full and in a pizza coma by then end of the tour!!!

The Best Tour!

Loved this tour. Got to try 4 styles of Chicago pizza, walk in-between and learn some history. I was surprised by how different pizza can be and found myself enjoying the experience. Plus you get 2 meals out of it. Highly recommend.
