A Must Do Tour! - Steve not only provides interesting facts about the evolution of pizza but he also provides interesting facts about Chicago. He’s very engaging, knowledgeable and personable. His passion for what he does was none wavering throughout the tour.

Great tour. - Great food, 4 different stops. Small, nice bus. Friendly and informative guide. About 3.5 hours long.

Review - I loved hearing about the history of pizza in Chicago. It was fascinating. And learning about the different types of pizza. The food was amazing!

Great Pizza - Keith our guide was great: very personable; knowledgeable & interesting. The 4 pizza places were quaint. I did ask for vegetarian but didn’t get until I had to remind guide but pizzas were tasty.

Great tour!!!! - Kevin our guide was a wealth of information about anything pizza. He knew the histories of the various types of pizzas. He knew everything. He was super considerate with my mom who is elderly and physically challenged.

Excellent Tour and Awesome Pizza - Steve was very informative and a fun tour guide. Getting to meet the business owners and hear their stories and passion for pizza was an extra special treat. Learning interesting facts about Chicago on the bus ride was great as well. All four pizzas were delicious and different styles. Highly recommend this tour!

Fun Tour, sample pizza, learns tons - Fun afternoon going to 4 top Chicago pizza places with 4 different varieties of pizza. Sample full pizza slices, included. Plenty of food. Drinks separate if you want something other than water. Mike the tour guide was great—funny and very knowledgable of pizza and Chicago trivia. You learn not only the culinary aspects of Chicago style pizza but also the owners and legendary pizza families. Small but nice coach bus was great for February and Mike kept us entertained during transit. 9 people on our tour, friendly group. Much enjoyed, highly recommend

A tour even locals should take - I was fortunate to have Steve as my "doughcent" on the bus tour. As a lifelong Chicagoan, I thought I knew my pizza. Having read his book and listened to the podcast, I give kudos to him for opening my eyes and educating me on the different styles. We started off at Labriola with their deep dish sausage. I was excited to go because it's tops on his list of deep dish, and it didn't disappoint. Better than Pequod's, and was my favorite on the tour. Next, we went to Pizzeria Bebu where we had artisan style pizza. Two different white pizzas: a white pizza with some jalapeno and the Carbonara. Some interesting toppings--I'll definitely go back and try others. Location is off the beaten path, and I probably would never have gone. Third was a Detroit style pan pizza at Paulie Gee's. I've had Jet's before, and while it's not my favorite style (the foccacia crust is too much), we had the style that won an award with some fresh ricotta topped with pepperoni and a spicy honey. Last, but not least, we ended at Pat's Pizza, which is the only place I had been to before. Great crunchy super thin crust, it's one of my favorite pizzas. We also got a tour of the kitchen and saw the oven and the way they let the dough sit to draw out the moisture. Very interesting. All of the pizzas were ready to go as soon as we arrived. The tour was well-organized, and we got some Chicago history and pizza history along the way. As the title says, I think even Chicagoans would appreciate the knowledge gained in 3 short hours, not to mention eating top notch pizza.

Pizza City, USA tour with Steve Dolinsky. - Wonderful tour with excellent selections of 4 different types of superb pizza. Discussion about pizza and the city was filled with facts and responsive to group interests. Steve presented a well designed tour with energy and positive manner. Long time chicago residents as well as newcomers will learn from and enjoy this experience!

Great tour, awesome pizza! - My sister and I did the pizza bus tour on a beautiful spring day in the city. The "doughcent" Mike was so knowledgeable (and funny!) and shared some great info, not only on pizza but on Chicago history. Each stop was very different experience (different style pizza at each) and all were fantastic! I will recommend this tour to anyone visiting or friends who live locally too - not just for out of towners! I have lived here almost 20 years but still learned so much during this tour. Plus, had good pies and tasty beer on a beautiful day - what more could you ask for?!
