5.00Amazing tour of the traditional "Chicago" pizzas! The history of pizza along with different styles and tastes of pizzas made the afternoon so enjoyable! The owner of Chicago Pizza Tours, John, was our guide for the tour- and let me tell you- we've been on tours all over the US and internationally, and John was hands down one of the best! We're rather local to Chicago and loved learning about what we already though we were well versed in. Thank you, John for making this your craft!
Do it!!
