The self-guided tour quickly became a go-to foodie event in Las Vegas and now Finger Licking Foodie Tours is bringing that same culinary experience to Chicago with its new decadent deep-dish pizza tour, debuting appropriately enough on April 5, National Deep-Dish Pizza Day.


The 2 ½-hour self-guided tour, will be available daily and provides the most efficient, effortless and profound way to take a delicious deep dive into deep-dish. Chicago-native and Finger Licking Foodie Tours founder Donald Contursi, who grew up on the city’s most iconic dish, has created the ultimate deep-dish tour that allows guests to enjoy not one, not two, not three, but four landmark pizza places, all in one outing. Skip the usual queuing to snag a table or the long wait times for these hefty pies to bake. Instead, guests get seated immediately with VIP service and pizza delivered fresh out of the oven in only 10 minutes, rather than the customary 45 minutes. Especially designed for these changing times, the tour is exclusive to only the host’s invited guests. It also comes complete with an innovative virtual guide that provides fascinating information on each restaurant visited. Best yet, guests can take leftovers home with them.

The tour’s stops represent a who’s who of the deep-dish world: Gino’s East on Superior
Street with its fabled graffiti-clad walls and celebrity clientele; Giordano’s on North Rush
Street that boasts a stuffed, two-crust pie; Pizzeria Uno on Ohio Street, which claims to
be the originator; and Lou Malnati’s on Wells Street, famous for its butter crust crowned
with a sausage patty that covers the entire circumference of the pizza. All are an easy
stroll from one another in the vibrant Magnificent Mile area. At each stop, guests will
enjoy a half-cheese, half-sausage pie, made with each establishment’s secret dough
recipe passed down from generations and a proprietary sausage blend. Imagine getting
the unheard-of opportunity to judge nearly side-by-side whose pizza you think reigns
supreme.


With flexible start times every half hour, the tour is perfect for both visitors and locals alike. It’s also ideal for convention goers or company outings, with an actual professional tour guide provided for groups of 15 or more.


The price is $75 per person with gratuities included. An optional $45 beverage package provides a different Chicago beer pairing at each stop.

Tours is proud to provide a thoughtful way to help support multiple Chicago restaurants
at one time.
