About Chicago Pizza Tours

Jonathan Porter, Founder of Chicago Pizza Tours

Meet the Founder

A lifelong passion for pizza.

Chicago Pizza Tours started in 2009, becoming the first Chicago food tour company focused solely on pizza. Our mission was simple: provide visitors and locals with the best and most thorough Chicago pizza experience.

I have spent my whole life working with small businesses. I helped my father create a successful promotional products agency in 1999, and ten years later decided it was time to try something new. At the age of 32, with the help of my wife, I founded Chicago Pizza Tours with the goal of teaching guests about ingredients and the science behind why certain pizzas taste the way they do. "If you really believe in what you do, you should go for it!"
