The Chicago Pizza Cruise

Come hungry. It's three full tastings from three different Chicago pizzerias over three hours on the water, not bite-size samples. People leave full. The pizza is included in your ticket, and drinks at the cash bar are the only extra.

Yes. Beyond the June 26 public sailing, you can charter the whole boat for a private Pizza Cruise, whether it's a corporate outing, a birthday, or any other occasion. Reach out with your group size and a preferred date and we'll put it together.

The pizza is the whole point. Chicago Pizza Tours hand-picks the pizzerias, the same crew that has spent years running the city's pizza tours. The sunset on the river is the bonus, not the bait.

We sail rain or shine, since the boat has covered seating. The only time it doesn't run is if Chicago Fireboat Tours calls it for safety in severe weather, and in that case you're rebooked or refunded.

Almost certainly not. This is a calm cruise up and down the Chicago River, not open water, so the ride stays smooth and slow. If you can handle an architecture tour, you'll be fine here.

Dress for an evening outdoors on the water and bring a light layer, since it cools off once the sun drops, even in June. The covered seating keeps you out of any weather.

Maybe not if you wait. It runs one night only with limited seats, and 2025 sold out faster than anything we put on the calendar. If the date works for you, grab your spot now rather than later.
