Overview

This isn’t a “three slices and call it a day” kind of pizza tour. Taste your way through Greenwich Village with 7 different food tastings as we explore pizza’s surprisingly complicated journey from ancient flatbreads to the iconic New York slice—and the cultures, immigrants, myths, and neighborhood stories that shaped it along the way.

You’ll go beyond the classic slice to discover unexpected pizza relatives, creative neighborhood specialties, and a sweet finale, while exploring one of New York’s most legendary neighborhoods. Along the way, uncover the stories behind Greenwich Village landmarks, local characters, pop-culture icons, and the people who helped make the Village unlike anywhere else in NYC.
