What Is Windsor Style Pizza?
What makes Windsor style pizza so good? Is it the shredded pepperoni? The canned mushrooms? There’s a new documentary about “the pizza city you’ve never heard of”:
And they’re not alone with their discussion of Windsor style pizza
Couple of noticeable differences:
- shredded pepperoni (they look like matchsticks)
- Windsor style uses canned mushrooms over fresh (they retain moisture and don’t dry up in the pizza oven)
- Galati cheese is the ONLY choice for Windsor
Is this more than a regional food obsession? Have our friends in Canada discovered something magical? Big Dudes Food blog thinks so.
As someone who’s been slapped with pizza before – I’m now wondering if this style would be better (thank god the Lions don’t play anyone in Windsor)
