San Diego Pizza & Gelato Tour

San Diego is home to one of the most underrated food scenes in California — especially when it comes to pizza and gelato.

The AFK San Diego Pizza & Gelato Tour is a small-group walking food tour that takes you through two pizzerias and two gelato shops over the course of about two miles and two hours. This is a full food experience, not a tasting tour — you’ll get real portions of pizza and plenty of gelato samples along the way.

At each gelato stop, you’ll sample multiple flavors and then choose your own full scoop of your favorite before moving on to the next location.

What to Expect

On the San Diego Pizza & Gelato Tour, you’ll:

• Visit two pizzerias and two gelato shops
