My family has been going to Capri Pizza for over 40 years, and going strong. It’s become almost a tradition to order a half-cooked pizza before heading home from Windsor, so we can enjoy the fresh from the oven flavour back home. If you want a good old fashioned square pizza, then this is the place for you. Capri loads each slice with a heavy mix of toppings, including shredded pepperoni(!), to ensure every inch of the pie is covered. The dough is soft, but dense enough to prevent the usual greasy affair of a pizza loaded with toppings. It may be hard to explain to an outsider, but Windsor Pizza is a thing. You can’t find anything like it elsewhere, and you’ll find the best of it at Capri.

Best sauce, best crust and hands down the best pizza ever! I have lived in the U.S. for 14 years and have yet to find great pizza like Capri!

I gave this place 4 Stars only because it’s closer to where I currently live, and by picking up my pizza they knock $ 2 off the total(one time deal which you have to register for online). It was really hard to compare Capri with Naples; they’re both good, very good… But after careful thought, I will have to say that Capri has the better pie. The crust is pleasantly dense with a mild chew. The sauce is tasty and not too over powering — that being said, I can actually savor the crust, which in my opinion should be the star of any pizza. Another bonus is that this franchise strictly uses Canadian cheese — it’s certainly a selling point for any proud Canadian trying to promote within our borders. Windsor continues to surprise me with its endless options for good quality pizza — I’m sure I will miss this element once I head back to hogtown. Large pizza with two toppings $ 21 — with the online promo that is.

Windsor pizza by the slice! It’s really hard when I go back to Windsor to enjoy Windsor pizza. I don’t want to hit a sit down pizzeria and dine alone. I want to get a couple slices, eat, read the WSJ, and go. Capri has opened up a little sliceria in downtown Windsor(which is basically a ghost town today). It’s tucked into a parking garage. But the point here is you can get pizza by the slice. Windsor pizza. By the slice. It’s actually a fair sized establishment. Pizza is in a warmer. No need for them to throw it into a pizza oven and reheat it. I like to get my slices quickly and that phase of the transaction at Pizza Pizza bugs me. I went on boxing day and they only had pepperoni. That was a bit of a disappointment but then I’m sure they weren’t expecting the hordes to turn out the day after Christmas, when every(in)sane Windsoradian is at Devonshire Mall thinking they’ll find amazing deals at the retail level. In Canada, they think this. Fools. Anyway, Capri is lower down on the food chain, in my opinion, of what Windsor pizza IS but it’s still a billion times better than Pizza Pizza. And cheaper. A slice runs about $ 2.80 vs $ 3+ Pizza Pizza wants to charge you for cheese on cardboard. And the downtown storefront location, strategically located near two dollar stores, a McDonald’s, a bar fly pub, a major bus transit point, pay day loan businesses, and massage parlors, offers you a great window on downtown Windsor’s exotic bestiary of downtown residents. That is, people who can’t afford to get to the mall and once at the mall can’t afford to buy anything. Like, as I entered Capri pizza, I held the door for a vacating patron wearing harvest gold pants with a tear on the leg and what looked like black tights underneath.
