Forget everything you thought you knew about pizza. This in-person tour deconstructs the history of NYC’s favorite food by visiting 3 iconic pizzerias and analyzing the archival photos and documents that tell their story. You’ll get a full slice at each stop plus tours of the kitchens and historic ovens that make NYC the world’s #1 pizza city. Learn the science, history, and culture of the food you’ve been taking for granted your entire life.
This is an in-person event, limited to 16 people. Cost $10. No refunds for cancellations. The tour will meet at 53 Spring Street in Manhattan (between Lafayette and Mulberry Streets) at 12:00PM. Please try to arrive 10-15 minutes early so that the tour can begin as close to 12:00PM as possible. We will end the tour in Greenwich Village, likely near the West Village. Please contact us at programming@nycarchivists.org if you have any questions.
