Read & Run Chicago, a company that offers running tours of the city based on a shared reading experience, will lead a Pizza Tour with “The Food Guy” Steve Dolinsky on Saturday, March 18. The tour includes a meet-and-greet with Dolinsky and a signed copy of his book “Ultimate Chicago Pizza Guide.”
It’s a three-mile run that takes participants to three different pizzerias in the West Loop, River North and Streeterville areas. The pace is usually between 11- to 13-minute miles, and while bikes are welcome, the route is chosen for runners and may not be bicycle safe.
Read & Run Chicago was founded by Allison Yates, a writer and former English teacher who earned a Chicago history tour guide certificate. Other tours offered by the company include books and routes based on Chicago history and book club runs.
The details:
- Date: Sat., Mar. 18
- Time: 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
- Meet: Lou Malnati’s (1235 W. Randolph)
- End: Robert’s Pizza (465 N. McClurg Ct.)
- Cost: $100 (Includes pizza samples, pizzeria owner meet-and-greet, signed copy of Steve Dolinsky’s “Ultimate Chicago Pizza Guide” and meeting with author.)
