Reviews
Visiting Detroit for the first time and was excited to try their infamous Detroit Style Pizza.As I researched about where the best Detroit style pizza was; I came across Buddy’s.Great atmosphere and our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the history of Buddy's.However, she barely checked on us.It was hard to flag her down when we needed something.Having tried Chicago deep dish pizza, Detroit style pizza from Buddy’s disappointed us.It wasn’t as good as I expected.I expected more from it.The garlic bread was hard and flavorless.On the bright side, the minestrone soup was good.Overall, I can’t say I’ll be back.

We're glad to hear you enjoyed our ambiance and that our staff shared Buddy's rich history during your visit.It's also encouraging to know the minestrone soup hit the spot.However, we're genuinely disappointed we didn't give you the stellar experience we strive for, especially with the Detroit-style pizza and attention from our service team.We'd sincerely appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns further and encourage you to share your contact information, availability, a copy of the review link, and location visited at buddyspizza@buddyspizza.com so we can make things right.Thank you.
Disclaimer: I am not a pizza fan. There were other locations we were ready to try but we close enough to give the original spot a drop-in. So glad we did! We came in right before the Sunday rush and ordered a Detroit Zoo 8-square with pepperoni and a small Greek salad. Look at that salad: perfect appetizer for us to snack on. The pizza came out nice and hot, the cheese pull was lovely. We really could have finished the whole thing but we had an early dinner to go to. Zeke was very pleasant and took very good care of us, drink refills just appeared, we didn't have to wave him down at all. The neighborhood seems shady but, as a city girl, I didn't get any bad vibes at all. The patrons were all extremely diverse, exactly what Detroit is. Good parking lot with plenty of spots.

We're delighted that your visit to our original location made a pizza fan out of you! It's wonderful to hear that both the Detroit Zoo pizza and the Greek salad hit the mark, along with the attentive service from Zeke.We're also glad that the environment and diverse patronage added positively to your experience.Thank you for sharing your thoughts; we're proud to have exceeded your expectations and look forward to welcoming you back.
I’ve had Detroit style pizza a few times and really liked it.I thought going to the source would be an 11/10 experience.With those high expectations going in, the pizza was a little disappointing.While overall it was good, I feel like the sauce was a weak point.Next time I’m in Detroit, I’ll probably try somewhere else.Service was great.
