Chicago Pizza Tours is a Chicago-based tour operator specializing in guided pizza tastings and neighborhood food experiences. The company offers a variety of curated trips — both walking and bus formats — that introduce visitors to the city's diverse pizza styles, including Chicago deep dish, Roman, Neapolitan, New Haven–style, and New York slices. Each tour visits multiple pizzerias and includes guided tastings, local stories, and historical context about Chicago's pizza culture.
Tours run between 3 and 3.5 hours and take place in well-known neighborhoods such as Downtown (near the Magnificent Mile and Lake Michigan), Wicker Park, Bucktown, Lakeview, and Logan Square. The Original Chicago Pizza Tour is a bus tour that includes over six slices from four iconic pizzerias; walking tours like the Downtown Pizza Walk and Bucktown Pizza Crawl provide a closer, on-foot exploration of neighborhood spots. The Corporate Pizza & Cocktails Tour offers a VIP format with guided tastings paired with drinks for private and corporate groups.
Guides focus on factual history and tastings rather than conjecture, and each itinerary emphasizes quality pizzerias that represent different techniques and regional influences. Chicago Pizza Tours is positioned as a practical choice for visitors and locals seeking a structured, educational, and flavorful way to sample Chicago pizza without needing to plan individual stops. The company's experiences are designed to be accessible to a wide range of guests, including group and corporate bookings.
