SCOTTS PIZZA TOURS CELEBRATES 15TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY

SCOOP learned that since April 27, 2008, Scotts Pizza Tours have hosted over 100,000 people and spent well over $1.5 million on pizza at independent shops in Manhattan and Brooklyn. They have launched a nonprofit that feeds people in need through a network of pizzerias. Owner Scott Weiner remarked “Thank you for joining us on this journey! This is totally bonkers but I ran my very first pizza tour exactly 15 years ago today. I had no idea what I was doing, all I knew was that I loved pizza and I loved talking about it with fellow pizza enthusiasts. My goal was to create a format for supporting that concept. I remember six months in people would ask how long I’d been giving pizza tours and they were shocked it was such a young company at the time. Then they’d ask if I still saw myself doing it 10 years later. Here we are, 15 years later with an incredible team of guides and a community of pizza lovers who help us celebrate this food that merges history, science, culture, politics, and economics in a way that’s totally delicious.”
