| May 5, 2008-- HOMING in on his 40th birthday and miserable in his career as a respiratory therapist, Tony Muia considered the advice he'd gleaned from various change-your-career guides. "The first thing they all say is, write down what you know and love," says Muia, a native of Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. "I thought, well, I love Brooklyn, and I love pizza, and that's where the list ended."..... |

WHEN you were a toddler, you needed someone to tell you what to taste. Cheerios, yes. Dirt, no. Electrical outlets, no way.

| "Tony Muia, 43, loves his pizza. Two years ago, he launched A Slice of Brooklyn, a four-and-a-half hour pizza tour. The outings, priced at $75 a person, are run Fridays, Saturdays and Mondays."..... |

| "Tony Muia's "Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour" visits two famed pizzerias-Grimaldi's and L&B Spumoni Gardens-and tops off with a four hour tour of the neighborhoods along the way....."I know Brooklyn and I know pizza," he said "Why not put them together and do something I love"..... |

| “Everybody knows that some of the best pizzerias are in Brooklyn,” says Muia, 41, an energetic native with tattoos across his thick forearms and a sharp black crew cut. He grew up in Bensonhurst, the middle son of an Italian barber and a seamstress who had emigrated from Reggio, Calabria.” |
