Little Foot Foods (Pierogi)

We are thrilled to have Little Foot Foods kicking off our Windsor Foodie Safari project. Rooted in family tradition, Little Foot Foods began with Joan Dycha’s from-scratch Polish cooking and was brought to life decades later by her granddaughter Rachael, who turned beloved pierogi recipes into a local favourite at the Downtown Windsor Farmers Market. Since 2013, the business has grown into their current HQ in Oldcastle, offering dozens of creative pierogi flavours while championing local partnerships, sustainability, and community. Their journey from family kitchen to regional food destination makes them the perfect way to start this celebration of Windsor-Essex food culture!

OG Pizza (Pizza)

We couldn’t possibly have a Windsor foodie campaign without including a true Windsor-style pizza, and OG delivers. Named “Best Pizza Pie” for the 2025 Best of Windsor Essex Awards, OG Pizza is built on lifelong friendship, local roots, and nearly 100 years of combined pizza-making experience. Founded by brothers Domingos and Sergio alongside their longtime friend Jason, OG Pizza is deeply committed to quality, community, and giving back to the neighbourhoods they call home. Using Essex County tomatoes, fresh local produce, handcrafted dough, and Dairy Farmers of Canada™–approved mozzarella, they proudly serve authentic Windsor-style thin crust pizza, stone-baked to perfection.

Blak’s Bakery

Blak’s Bakery is a Windsor institution rooted in generations of Polish baking tradition. Founded in 1918 by Peter Blak Sr., who trained at Warsaw’s historic Hotel Bristol, the bakery still uses the same hand-fed sour starter passed down through generations and bakes bread in its original 100-year-old brick Petersen oven, giving each loaf its signature crackly crust. Each year on Fat Tuesday, Blak’s is a must-visit destination in Windsor-Essex, drawing long lines for their iconic paczki—a beloved tradition that has made the bakery a staple of the celebration for generations.

Collect at: 1022 Langlois Ave, Windsor, ON N9A 2H5 (519) 253-4344

Walkerville Brewery

Walkerville Brewery blends Windsor’s rich history with bold, handcrafted beer, brewing in the spirit of the neighbourhood founded by Hiram Walker. As Windsor’s largest craft brewery, they create fresh, flavour-forward beers in small batches, from beloved flagships to seasonal and one-off releases. Their award-winning, unpasteurized beers are made with quality ingredients and no artificial additives. More than just a brewery, Walkerville is a community hub – bringing people together through events, festivals, and a shared love of great local beer.
