About this business

A Detroit tradition, Buddy's Pizzeria has grown from a little-known bar and pizza joint to an institution. There are now Buddy's outlets in multiple suburbs, but the authentic experience is at the original, crowded, multi-roomed eatery. Buddy's was the first spot in Detroit to offer square pizzas, in 1946. The pizza is thick and the filling comes with plenty of cheese and sauce, and it is repeatedly voted the best in Detroit in local surveys. Salads, pastas, burgers, sandwiches and home-made soups are also on the menu. There... read more

The ORIGINAL Buddy's! As a teenager, this was my favorite place to go to for Pizza. Back than (30 years ago) there was less than a handful of Buddy's and this place was considered the Best Pizza Parlor in the State! The decor was typical Italian. The food was their own, noone made pizza like Buddy's. Although they are still there, the area is considered run down.

Great Pizza – We often come back to Michigan to visit and we always make the trip to the Buddy's location in Detroit. Year after year this restaurant continues to provide an outstanding pizza. In fact, when we are in the mood for a great pizza while at home in Washington, we have one air freighted out to us. This location still makes the best Buddy's pizza.

the original! – You gotta go here. So much more distinctive than the suburban Buddy's around the area. The pizza is worthy of its high acclaim, and if nothing else, you'll see the point of origin of a Detroit institution. The location may be out of your way, but at least they provide parking; it's also within a few minutes of Hamtramck and a busy corridor of Conant to the south. Always an interesting place to visit.

A motor city institution, Buddy's introduced square deep-dish pizza to Detroit. – In Short Buddy's is a Detroit institution ("since 1946"). It's loud and family-friendly, with TVs everywhere, and serves distinguished, if not risky, pizza; the furthest away from traditional it gets is the gourmet vegetarian pizza with cauliflower and broccoli. The unusual crust is one reason Buddy's delights; it's barely there and yet crisp as can be. A wide range of fried appetizers, homemade soups, burgers, sandwiches and pastas is also ava... read more

SADLY MISSED – Upon moving from Detroit to Tennesse over 20 yrs. ago we have been in search of a good pizza. We have tried many and nothing comes close to Buddys. Detroiters and those in surrounding areas please count your blessings!! I only wish they had a system of shipping the pizzas out state. A trip to Buddys is never missed when we visit!! Again sadly missed!!!!!
