Larry takes a taste into a 'slice' of New York City Life with Pizza Connoisseur Scott Wiener of Scott’s Pizza Tours

Scott Wiener born in suburban New Jersey, has no Italian blood.  His ancestry is Jewish Russian and Polish.  Yet from an early age pizza became Scott’s favorite food, and now for the past eleven years, since April 27, 2008 to be exact, this Neapolitan specialty has become not only the center of his diet, but the subject of his livelihood.  Scott’s pizza tours consist of four walking tours in Manhattan and two in Brooklyn: Williamsburg and Downtown.  Each of them visits three pizzerias.  He also offers and guides himself a Sunday bus tour, which covers Manhattan and another borough by rotation and visits four pizzerias, which he chooses on the spur of the moment out of the 58 pizzerias he recommends around town.  His Manhattan walking tours and the Sunday bus tour usually start at “Lombardi’s” on Spring Street in Soho.  Founded in 1898 and taken over in 1908 by Gennaro Lombardi from Naples, it’s one of the oldest pizzerias in New York.
