BIZ X MAGAZINE – Sept 20, 2016

Following an incredibly successful Round 1 event which saw over 150 pizza hungry Windsorites venture into Higher Limits – many of them having never entered before – Higher Limits is proud to launch Round 2 of the Windsor Pizza Fest.

Round 1 saw Arcata, Cheese Wheelz, The Original Gino’s Pizza, and Riviera Pizza Ottawa St. compete head to head, and our panel of judges and the participants voted in unison: The Original Gino’s Pizza took it.

Round 2 features DaVinci’s Pizza, Domino’s Pizza Windsor, Sam’s Pizzeria & Cantina, and Slices and Squares, and takes place on Sept 22 at 7pm.

For just $15, Windsor pizza lovers get 8 slices of pizza, a drink, entrance to Higher Limits, and the chance to cast one of the most important votes of their life: which Windsor pizza company is best.

“Windsorites love their pizza, and they’re willing to come out and vote for their favourites, even if that means venturing forth into a cannabis lounge for the first time,” said Jon Liedtke, co-owner of Higher Limits. “We’re happy for The Original Gino’s Pizza to have won Round 1.”

“A goal of the Windsor Pizza Fest at Higher Limits is to help normalize cannabis, end the stigmas which exist surrounding the substance, and to help get the community ready for legalization,” said Liedtke. “Barely 25% of the participants at Round 1 were consuming cannabis, which demonstrates to us that we serve as a true community hub in the downtown core.”
