Antonino's Original Pizza

Company Description

In 1959 Antonino "Tony" Ciaravino opened the first pizzeria in South Windsor, Ontario. With its thin crispy crust, distinctive and flavourful sauce, and fine cut pepperoni (Antonino called it sausage), his pizza legacy has truly become a Windsor institution.A strict devotion to Antonino's original recipe, combined with an unyielding insistence on using nothing but the best quality ingredients, has created a loyal following of pizza connoisseurs who know that the proof is in the pie. We use Antonino's original recipe and spare no expense in finding the freshest, finest, and where ever possible, local ingredients. We use Five Roses Flour for our dough; fresh packed vine ripened tomatoes in our sauce and 100% whole milk, Uniondale mozzarella made right here in Windsor by the Galati Cheese Company. Our shredded pepperoni is lean and loaded with flavour and we use true centre-cut, premium bacon. Our fresh produce is purchased locally from D. Pearl & Sons Produce. We never use frozen! Mushrooms—fresh or canned, your choice—same price! Anchovies on the side? We give you the whole can.Our crust: thin and crisp since 1959. No thick, doughy ends to throw away! Your pizza is hand made from dough that goes through a multi stage proofing process. We bake it on cornmeal directly on a stone hearth—no screens or pans are used. The only thing separating the crust from the hot stone is a thin layer of cornmeal (and that's how you get that cripsy crust!). Our dough contains no sugar or other browning agents—no cheating allowed. The deep, golden brown colour is achieved by extending the bake time... we will serve no pizza before its time! Because the crust around the edge of your pizza is thin, you get more actual pizza (more toppings) and less crust. Your toppings are evenly spread from thin edge to thin edge, so you get the same great flavour in every bite.
