Creative, Unique, and Deeeeelicious…read more Wudda took photos of the pizza but i keep eating them There's Detroit style pizza then there's the mad scientists at Pie Sci cooking up fun and flavor concoctions taking pizza above and beyond. The staff is always warm and welcoming, just like their slices. The place always has customers coming and going. And it's a chill little vibe to hunker down and dig in. The menu is always rotating with interesting and flavorful combinations: bechamel sauce and onion jam, figs and apples, wild mushrooms and spicy diablo sauce are all just a small sample of what I have experienced. And it is exactly those experiences that keep me coming back. If you're looking for a tasty slice to satisfy a craving or a whole pizza to feed a party Pie Sci is what i recommend!

They're celebrating g their 80th birthday so you get $8 off a $30 order until August 31. I couldn't pass that up, 2 pies and save $8?! Score!!!!! How could you say no to that deal? I couldn't. Ordered up 2 8 square 80th anniversary pizzas. Pepperoni and cheese and square crust deliciousness. Buddy's has been around for 80 years for a reason. Delicious toppings, crispy crust, the pizza is legit, unlike Abdul running for senate . Anyway, if you e never tried Buddy's, get down here and get you some of this! The best pizza in Detroit and the surrounding areas.

If you're going to try Detroit-style pizza for the first time, you might as well go to where it all…read morebegan! This was my first time having Detroit-style pizza in Detroit, and Buddy's absolutely lived up to the hype. Without question, it's the best Detroit-style pizza I've ever had. Every bite was like an explosion of cheesy, crispy, comforting goodness. The crust was perfectly soft and airy on the inside with those incredible caramelized cheese edges that gave every bite an amazing crunch. Just a heads-up, this isn't fast food. Since it's a thick pan pizza made fresh, expect to wait a little longer, but it's 100% worth every minute. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the history of the restaurant, which made the experience even better. I also had my first Michigan Mule, and it did not disappoint! From the outside, it wasn't immediately obvious where to enter, but once inside, I was blown away. The walls are packed with decades of memorabilia, articles, awards, murals, and the story of how Detroit-style pizza was born. It felt like eating in a piece of pizza history, not just another restaurant. As someone who has eaten Detroit-style pizza back home, I can already tell every future slice will be measured against Buddy's, and that's a tough standard to beat. If you want authentic Detroit-style pizza from the place that started it all, this is a must-visit. Thank you, Buddy's, for an unforgettable meal. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Detroit!

Parking is extremely limited they maybe have 5 spots available excluding pickup but there is parking of street parking around so don't worry.

It took about 20-30min wait for our pizza. We got the packard pepperoni to share. It sure does pack a punch of heat/spice with the chilies. The honey balance it out well though so don't be too scared. The bread/dough was very fluffy and the cheese crust was crunchy and delicious! Definitely very bread heavy in general but I think this place does it well. Overall decent pizza but I think I prefer a thin slice over Detroit style.

They have a big dining area and each person is able to set up their own tab to manage their food and drink purchases. When you arrive, you get a wristband. This allows you to scan into the wall taps and fill up how ever much or little you want. They had a great selection of brews and I was especially impressed by a few local beers that were absolutely delicious! The pizzas are huge, so my only regret is not ordering one to share with a friend. I was able to only finish about a quarter of the small before having to call it quits. Detroit pizza is thick, so come hungry. While the pizzas were a hit, I have to say, the fries were a treat! They were so great! All in all- an excellent spot centrally located in Detroit!

Fluffy bread and a pleasant crust, this pizza parlor introduced me to some of the better pizzas during my stay. I got the Meat Lovers and the Big Mack to try. The Meat Lovers is what you expect, just a good amount of meat to pair with the large amount of dough and cheese. It's a bit oily and heavy, so the Big Mack was actually my favorite due to the lighter nature and the accurate taste compraison to an actual Big Mac. Beer was also great. I've been getting into beer lately and wanted to try some Michigan-brewed beer and the options as well as the taste did not disappoint. Service was good. I let them know that I wasn't from Michigan and it was my first week there and they gave me a good run-down of the menu. Their recommendations were solid and they leave us unattended for too long.

For a starter, the cashew Caesar salad ($8) was ordered. It came with mixed greens, house-made cashew Caesar dressing, fried shallots, and vegan parmesan. This was very tasty. It was unique with the fried shallot addition. The dressing was just enough. It all appeared very fresh and crisp. The cheese had somewhat of an odd texture, but not a big deal. For a meal, the lobster roll pizza ($45) was ordered. This was so unique that it had to be tried. It came with 6 oz. wild caught lobster, herb crème fraiche, celery and onion brunoise, Cape Cod chips, and chives with drawn butter and lemon. This was very rich, so the addition of the lemon juice and crunchy chips really helped offset that. It was also heavy due to the components incorporated. The lobster appeared fresh and there was plenty of it. The butter was not even needed, but solid for a slight dip. The crème fraiche was solid and different. The crust was crispy and great too. Will I go back? I would, yeah.

There seems to be a lack of organization, clear responsibilities, and an effective process for getting to-go orders out accurately and on time. Anyone with strong restaurant operations or management experience could look at this setup and immediately identify ways to make it faster, cleaner, and far more efficient. MOOTZ has a great product and a busy location, but the operational side of the to-go business desperately needs attention from management.

To me, no other place to go than Buddy's, which has been called one of the five best pizzerias in the United States by the Food Network. Buddy's offers a few pizza sizes: 4-square, 8-square, and 8-square all-corner cheese. My sister and I decided to get the 4-square pizza - each creating our own. Because I am lactose intolerant, I did a mixed cheese blend - Wisconsin brick cheese and Daiya vegan cheese- and for toppings: chicken, spinach, and mushrooms. Wisconsin Brick cheese, a staple in this pizza, is a semi-soft cheese with very low lactose due to its unique production and aging process. It was the best Detroit-style pizza I ever had. How can you get this dreamy slice of heaven?

So after we're good on drinks, it was time for a bit of after turn up food. This place happened to be at the right place. We ended up getting 3 rounds of slices. First round I had the ham and jalapeños which was superb. Plus they had some kind of hybrid dipping sauce for the pizza which was super sublime. 2nd round we did the Hawaiian which is also sublime. The third was the same, which set us on a perfect amount of good. Best thing about this pizza restaurant is not just the location, but the pricing per slice is super awesome. About 2 a slice is a great deal. Trust, my friend had to buy some more. Exactly the reason why we did 3 rounds of pizza smashing. The place is small, so don't expect a giant restaurant. It's more of an order joint. You'd be lucky to snag one of the only two tables in there. The staff was super cool and friendly. Super prompt with the orders and even let me re-up on that awesome sauce. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for good pizza. Thank you so much for reading my review.

Fredi has the best pizza in Michigan…read more The guy is an artist and his pizza is his masterpiece. The crust is firm, crunchy, and flavorful and bready but light. The sauce is tart and a little sweet and there are small chunks of tomatoes here and there which infuse even more flavor with each bite. If you hold up a slice for a little CSI: Pizza action, you're going to see a firm "V" shape on the side profile with a slight bend towards the tip of the slice. As far as I'm concerned, the classics are the way to go. I would say "The Don" is the overall crowd pleaser with a little more cheese than the basic pep but I think I've permanently been converted to the "Moe Greene". It's simple, there's plenty of cheese, and you get to really enjoy the bread and sauce. The "Fredo" is also good if you want something a little different. It has a small dusting of hot sauce and a generous amount of diced chicken and a drizzling of ranch. The chicken and hot sauce are well balanced so you don't feel like you're chugging a bottle of Franks with your pizza. They've added outdoor seating since opening, the indoor wait area can get a little crowded, the wait times can be a little long during peak hours, and the drive to Melvindale isn't short. All those caveats aside, it's absolutely worth the trip and the wait.

The Al Nieri was the our favorite, the cazlone was so soft inside and creamy from the ricotta. The second was the Margherita which was cooked perfectly and not too crunchy but nice flavor from the sauce and cheese. The Corleone was also very good but I think I need to get some ranch to dip it in which I regret not asking for. Definitely would go back and worth the hype although I can imagine it gets pretty busy at times.

He mentioned that he didn't want it sitting long because it effects the quality of the crust! I'm thinking, "Huh? What? Sir you are on 7 Mile. I was truly surprised he cared." But I assured him I would arrive on time. Figuring maybe people would order and not show, I didn't think too much more about it. I got there a bit early and went in the door I believed was the spot because there was no sign on the door. The co-owner, preparer, server and cashier greets me as I walked in and told me my pizzas were just about ready. He asks, how I found him. I told him, "random Google search." He then tells me that they've only been open three weeks are are still getting everything together (explains the lack of signage). He tells me more about the story behind the why he started the business with two pizza places in walking distance on both sides. This guy really cares about the quality of pizza, especially the dough. He's not interested in serving you run-of-the-mill. He sincerely wants his pies to stand out. He promised the best and requested a honest review and so he shall get. He even walked my pizzas to my car for me and threw in a few extras. Customer service was top notch, above and beyond. Now for the pizza...you can definitely tell he takes pride in his crust. It is quality in taste and texture. However, the sauce and the toppings were not stand outs. The sauce tasted canned and I must admit I was a little disappointed. Because he cares so much about his product, I would love for him to really master a top notch sauce to go on top of the pizza. One that he has put his own signature touch into. He could then even get away with toppings that every other pizza places serves. Will I order again, sure. But it will be because I want to see this young man live out his pizza making dreams not because its the best pizza I've ever had. He is gonna have to raise the bar on more than just the crust to make a name for himself in the city that is known for pizza.
