Our Sweets & Slices tour wouldn't be complete without one of the best pizza spots in the city: Bleecker Street Pizza!

Alex was a great tour guide, knowledgeable, and keeping the group engaged. I was rescheduled due to my original date did not have enough participants. She communicated in advance to help me reschedule. I really appreciated that! The tour itself was over 2 hrs long, we were given history and pop culture on the way, sampling different food & more refills. Did not feel rushed at all. Highly recommended if you are a tourist to NYC first time or just want to know about west village.
Awesome spots and good insight from Alex.
More than just food, pop culture added in.
Highly recommend the Sweets and Slices Greenwich Village Walking Food Tour! Alex was such a fun and friendly guide, and all the stops were very delicious. We enjoyed learning the history (both very old and recent) of the area and for each stop. Recommend going for the morning for a less crowded tour, but either way it's a great way for a first introduction to the area!
Hi Katrina - thank you for a wonderful review! So happy you enjoyed the tour.
Amazing Experience! Thank you Alexandra for the best NYC tour! Had the best pizza in my life at Mama’s Too!
Glad you enjoyed, Edward!
We had an amazing time on the food tour with Alexandria! She was incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and had that classic New Yorker attitude that honestly made the whole experience even better. One of the highlights was Mama’s Too — their buffalo chicken pizza and Philly cheesesteak were absolutely the best we had. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience great food and learn more about the area!
Thanks for coming on the tour Jason!
We had a great time on this Greenwich Village food walking tour. Our guide Alex was fantastic, super knowledgeable and shared a ton of cool facts about the neighborhood as we walked from stop to stop. It felt like a mix of a food tour and a mini history tour of Greenwich Village. The food itself was amazing. Every stop was good, but our favorite was definitely Mama’s Too pizza, easily some of the best pizza we had during our trip to New York City. If you’re visiting NYC and want a fun way to explore Greenwich Village while trying some really great local food, I’d definitely recommend this tour. Alex made the experience even better.
Thanks Daniel! Glad you had fun (:
Alex was our tour guide and was great. Definitely knew her way around the city, and knew the best places to get food. Mama's Too and Molly's Cupcakes are spots we'll always revisit in NYC. Highly recommend this tour, and especially Alex if you can have her as your guide!
