About Boston Pizza Lovers Food and History Walking Food Tour

Savor the flavors of Boston's iconic North End on this 2.5-hour walking food tour that combines pizza tastings from top pizzerias with a deep dive into the neighborhood's rich Italian-American history. From the historic Old North Church to legendary spots like Modern Pastry, this tour is a delicious journey through Little Italy's storied past.

Local Legends & Stories

The North End is home to some of Boston's oldest Italian-American families, many of whom arrived in the early 20th century and transformed this neighborhood into the heart of New England's Little Italy. The area also played a crucial role in the American Revolution, with the Old North Church famously signaling the British approach by lanterns in 1775.

Frequently Asked Questions

The tour departs from the Haymarket MBTA station near the intersection of Congress Street and New Sudbury Street, which is accessible via the Green and Orange subway lines.

The tour is family-friendly and suitable for children who enjoy pizza, though strollers can be difficult to maneuver on the narrow, historic brick sidewalks of the North End. Infants under two years old typically attend for free but do not receive their own food tastings.

While the pizzerias visited are generally at street level, the historic North End features uneven brick sidewalks and cobblestone streets that can be challenging for standard wheelchairs and mobility scooters.

Weekday morning or early afternoon departures offer a quieter experience at the pizzerias, whereas weekend tours coincide with peak neighborhood foot traffic and longer lines at popular food stops.

You should wear comfortable walking shoes suitable for cobblestones and bring a light jacket, as the coastal Boston weather can change rapidly. Cash is recommended if you wish to purchase extra items or tip your guide at the end of the tour.
