Scott's Pizza Tours

Not only was the pizza great, but I learned much more about the evolution of New York-style pizza than I'd expected to. The choice of three restaurants took the New York pizza story from its Neapolitan roots, through old-school New York style, to the familiar modern pizza-by-the-slice storefront style, with a wealth of information about the types of ovens and ingredients used for the different styles. We also took a brief side trip past Café Wha? where Bob Dylan got his professional start, and the Comedy Cellar, perhaps the world's premier stand-up club.

We really enjoyed the Downtown Brooklyn Pizza Walk. As New Yorkers we were interested to see what pizza would be showcased and while the places we visited were serving delicious pizza, we were slightly disappointed that we did not get what we consider a real NY slice (triangle slice of pizza, sauce, and mozzarella that you have to pat with a napkin to soak up some of the grease). However, we visited 3 excellent places - one coal-fired, one wood-fired, and one serving Sicilian pizza and met new people from California and Washington. All of the pizzas were delicious and the discussions about the dough, sauce, and mozzarella were interesting. Definitely recommend if you are a pizza lover and would enjoy an afternoon strolling downtown Brooklyn and eating some tasty pizzas.

Dave was a phenomenal host. First and foremost, friendly and enthused. Super knowledgeable about pizza history, cooking techniques, ingredients, and differentiating the experience among 3 diff types of pizza - from Neapolitan to coal oven to more modern grandma/Sicilian. Highly recommend for the pizza enthusiastic!

So much fun! Paul did a terrific job and I learned quite a lot! Would recommend

I loved this class! Scott was fantastic at simply explaining the science behind dough making and ensuring that everyone in the class made the perfect dough.

Scott is a great teacher and genuinely wants you to make the best pizza possible! I also did this class with my family virtually and definitely recommend it to anyone that is looking for something fun to do with your loved ones.

Scott was very good. He even took the time to help Bob and Me with a gluten free pizza. Thanks.

Amazing class! So fun and Scott is a wealth of information! I've made pizza at home before, but this was the first time it tasted like "real" pizza. Highly recommend this class!

Great hands on experience and Scott was the best!

Scott was an awesome teacher! Kept me laughing. Learned so much and had a ton of fun. And my pizza was so tasty! The man knows what he is doing.
