Like A Local Tours has announced the launch of its new Ultimate NYC Pizza Tour: Lower East Side, now available to book on Viator.

The walking tour features three slice stops that capture the range of New York pizza culture today, from heritage slice-shop craft to new-school Roman-style creativity. The launch comes as New York prepares to welcome global travellers for the FIFA World Cup.

“We built this experience for the way people actually want to explore New York, especially during a huge travel moment like World Cup summer,” said Lauren Beebe, founder and CEO of Like A Local Tours.

“Visitors are looking for iconic food, real neighbourhood character, and something easy to fit into a packed itinerary. This tour gives them a smart, local way to experience the Lower East Side one slice at a time.”

Keeping the focus on small businesses and real local stories, the experience is designed to be highly “shareable” for foodies, with slice moments, visuals, and quick-hit cultural context built into the route. By making the tour available on Viator, it becomes accessible to a global audience of travellers seeking to discover and experience the best of the city’s culinary scene.

“Unregular started as a creative idea that grew into a real community,” said Gabriele Lamonaca, founder of Unregular Pizza which is a stop on the tour.

“We love that this tour invites people to try something a little different and understand the story behind the slice.”

“Great pizza is simple, but it takes care and patience to get it right,” said Tony Salihaj, owner of Nolita Pizza.

“We’re excited to welcome guests who want an authentic New York slice and a real neighbourhood experience.”
