👨‍🍳 Foodie Thursday: Bites to Try

It’s Thursday, and if you haven’t had some pizza this week, do you even live in Windsor-Essex? Whether you're team thin crust, deep dish, or somewhere in between, the pizza game in Windsor-Essex is like no other.

🍕These are my top picks this week for the ultimate ‘za experience:

Maestro Pizza | 2421 Walker Road | Delicious. Cooked to perfect. Tip: ask for garlic sauce.

Armando’s | Multiple Locations | World winning pizza, absolutely delicious. Amherstburg is my favourite, especially for the Detroit style on Sundays. Thanks Professor Za!

Oven 360 | Multiple Locations | Authentic Neapolitan pizza, every topping is so fresh and delicious. Yuppp.

Slice of Pi | 5841 Malden Road | The garlic crust is so crispy and so good when it hits the lips.
