Windsor-style pizza is a Canadian style of pizza characterized by its medium-thick to thick cornmeal and flour—based crust, high-fat cheese, shredded pepperoni, and canned mushrooms. It was invented in the late 1950s or early 1960s in Windsor, Ontario, and has become the dominant pizza style in the area. The style remains popular among both current and former residents of Windsor and has occasionally prompted long-distance orders.
