Recently visited Buddy’s Pizza with friends and loved their authentic Detroit-style pies served in a spacious, comfortable dining area. Our server, Kai, did an outstanding job. I’m officially a big fan and can’t wait to come back.

Nice comfortable dining vibe. The Detroiter Pizza was phenomenal, and the service from staff was so considerate and friendly. Their people need to train other restaurants on how to offer Top Notch service to customers. I wish there was a way to give this place a !

Excellent pizzas. The detroit cheese bread were bit salty but everything else was very tasty. They do have alcohol available. In pizzas we ordered greektown and eastern market which are fully vegetarian and both had a unique taste.

Blue cheese lovers need to know that the Henry Ford pizza isn't your only choice at Buddy's. I don't care for red onions myself, and my wife rejects bacon in her diet. Instead, we still order from the 2012 Great Lakes Pizza Collection, a "hidden menu" that contains the Lake Michigan (a blue cheese offering). Servers are aware of its existence, and you can order it through the build your own option. The Lake Michigan consists of seasoned ground beef, caramelized onions, blue cheese, Motor City cheese blend or standard brick cheese, and tomato basil sauce. I love the sweetness of the caramelized onions, and the blue cheese pairs so well with the special crust. Ground beef is the standard, but you can adjust the spice level to your own liking by substituting Italian sausage and/or adding a pinch of spice mix that you can ask for on the side. Delicious! We've ordered it so many times when we come in on Wednesday afternoons that we just say to our usual waitress: "Give me the usual!" It doesn't get any better than this!

Buddy’s is matured with a family style casual dining. Would love to see a revamp. Pizzas were kinda good like original buddy’s taste. Can they be better - yeah sure. The tall girl serving us was very customer oriented though it would’ve been better if she ask the type of dough we will take. However, the thing that put me off was the one server gent who was yawning with his mouth open

We had an amazing experience at Buddy’s! From the moment we walked in, we felt so welcomed by the staff. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service made us feel right at home. The highlight was definitely the Spicy Italian pizza — perfectly cooked, loaded with flavor, and absolutely delicious. Easily one of the best pizzas we’ve had in a while. Highly recommend Buddy’s for anyone looking for great food and a welcoming vibe. We’ll definitely be back!

Most people know Buddy’s as the gold standard of Detroit style pizza. Tonight I ventured away from the norm and ordered a smash burger and it was AMAZING! I like things a little spicy so I got the Spicy Guac Smash Stack. It came with a side of crispy seasoned thin fries. Next time you are at Buddy’s and want to try something tasty and new, give it a go!
