Very disappointing. Pizza was flat, what happened to Detroit deep dish? Second time this has happened. Did Buddy’s change their standards. Will not be back. Jets is so much better. Antipasto was excellent. … More
I'm in the area from several states away and needed something within walking distance of my hotel. A quick Maps search and Buddy's popped up in an area riddled with national chains. I much prefer the local scene. Walked in and was quickly greeted and seated. The waiter was over in a hurry and I ordered a local IPA. He was back within minutes with my ice cold beer and to take my order. The garlic bread was good. The bread itself was amazing and at that point, I became real excited about the pizza. The IPA was beautiful and tasty. I ordered the Detroiter. I knew at first bite, I was in love. The cheese was stretchy, the crust was thick but crispy, sauce was perfectly seasoned and chunky. The pizza was not greasy or overly salty. It may have been perfect. I don't know when I'll be back in the state of Michigan but if I ever do, I'm coming back to Buddy's.
Best Detroit style pizza. Crust is perfectly crispy but soft. Toppings are fresh and delicious.
