We rate all other pizza against Capri! It is our favourite and has been for twenty years. It is the only place we have cravings for, which means we end up driving all the way to Amherstview to get a pizza. Alright, an 8 minute drive is not really that far, but, it is more the symbolism of the drive than the actual distance - we drive to another town to get a pizza!

What is it that makes Capri the Supreme Leader in pizza? How about - the dough, the sauce, the real ingredients they use. This is not a chain where teenaged kids unwrap a frozen crust and throw on some simulated bacon bits and modified milk products that resembles cheese. This is a place that still makes dough, and you can watch them stretch it out onto the pan for every single pizza. But not only that, but, the cheese is real! That is the problem with most 'fast food' pizza, the cheese just seems 'off', just a bland and greasy mess. Capri pizza has cheese that tastes, well, like cheese. It has flavour and texture and that perfect stringyness that pizza had it in its hayday. These pizzas are made by some real pros, guys that have been there, slinging thousands of pizzas a year, for what seems like decades. This is one of those local gems that is manned by lifers and owners who are in  it for the long haul - so every pizza counts.

There is one problem. It seem that every single time we happen to be in Amherstview, or even just driving past Amherstview we end up 'having' to stop. Even on July 1st, Canada Day, to our delight Capri was open. We ordered the Capri Special. Pepperoni (giant slices), Bacon (real bacon!), Mushroom, Green Pepper.

I really cannot say enough about how dedicated these guys are to the product. Every time we go there it is amazing, top quality, stuff. 
All other pizzas in the area bewar - this is your competition.
