Out from Piazza Bellini and Back in Two and a Half Hours

A loop rather than a crossing: you start at Piazza Bellini, beside the excavated Greek walls and the parked military truck, and you finish in the same square, which makes this one easy to slot into an afternoon without working out how to get back.

Two and a half hours, up to fifteen people, with a licensed professional guide. The route takes in some of the best-known pizzerias in the city that invented the thing, along with the smaller suppliers and shops that sell to the neighbourhood rather than to the street, which are the addresses you would walk past without noticing.

Several tastings are included along the way. Drinks are not, so budget for those separately.

Arrive ten minutes early; the operator is firm about it, and on a two-and-a-half-hour route a late start eats a stop. The tour runs rain or shine, dress is smart casual, and the places visited can change. Guided in English. Vegetarians can be accommodated with notice, vegans cannot, and neither gluten-free nor dairy-free diets are catered for.
