"A Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour" on Australia's Getaway travel program with host Jules Lund

According to Getaway's website:

These great bus tours were started by Tony Muia, a proud native Brooklynite. He's been showing people around for more than 30 years. It all began when visitors complained about not being able to find a decent pizza. Well, Tony knew where they were and blended sightseeing and great pizza stops. The flamboyant guide's motto is: "Manhattan? Fuhgettaboudit!".

He takes his bus along tree-lined streets of brownstones, to Coney Island's historic amusement park and boardwalk, million-dollar homes along Shore Road, Trump Village where Donald Trump's father made his fortune, and the history of pizza from Italy to Brooklyn. Tony will also tell you about some famous Brooklynites — it's a font of talent!

Countless movies have been filmed in Brooklyn, including Saturday Night Fever, Scent of a Woman, The French Connection and many more. Tony and his DVD player work together and as you reach a location you watch the clip that ended up in the film.

On the 4.5-hour tour you'll have two sit-down meals. At Grimaldi's you will tuck into a blackened, thin-crusted Neapolitan pizza. It was a favourite haunt of Frank Sinatra, and if he couldn't pop in for a pizza, he would have one delivered to his hotel.

The next food stop is at L&B Spumoni Gardens. Its thick and saucy square slices have been served since 1939, and people travel from across New York for them.

Getaway host Jules Lund loved Tony's tour — it was fun and cultural and he would recommend it to anyone. Tony also runs Christmas lights tours and a neighborhood tour.
