American Idol Season 11 winner Phillip Phillips has a lot to look forward to from the Summer Tour, including seeing all-new places and dining on some real Chicago pizza!

Phillip revealed to ABC News that before becoming a part of Idol, he’d been a bit untraveled. “I’ve never been to different states or anything like that ... Before, all I’d been to is Georgia, Tennessee, North and South Carolina, all the really Southern states. So I’m really, really excited to see the whole country and just take a bunch of pictures!” he said.

He also spoke to the Chicago Sun Times about being on the road for the tour, which kicks off tonight in Detroit, Michigan, saying he’s looking forward to having some real Chicago pizza, since his doctors haven’t quite forbidden him from eating the yummy stuff.

What the doctors have instructed him to do, though, is to continue taking it easy and to keep in touch with his medical team while he’s on the road since he won’t have them on-hand during his travels.

As they say in the south, here’s hoping everything goes off without a hitch!
