    Deep dish pizza done wrong... again.

    The taste is still kind of there but the pizza has gone downhill. The last few times the standard pepperoni pizza "deep dish" looks like this....barely any deeper than a pizza from the 5 dollar place! The corner piece I didn't take a photo of had so little edge to it, it was like a crust less pizza and you could barely pick it up. Remember when it was actually deep dish, the crust was like an inch or inch and a half ALL the way around? I have great food memory and taking your first bite and having it be like thin crust is SOOO disappointing. What has happened to Buddy's lately!!?? The prices have gone up and the quality has sunk. The only saving grace was the salad hasn't been screwed up yet, but the breadsticks are kind of a joke as well. I won't even post a picture of that since it would reflect poorly on my self image that I even attempted to eat it. They're like rectangular undercooked oily things. Do yourself a favor - find the other Detroit pizza legends out there and go elsewhere. One star may sound harsh, but when the key thing, the pizza, is so rough and you look at what the BILL was for the family gathering...seriously...look at what you paid... one star is just about right.

    I feel like a jerk. I eat here at LEAST once a week, and I have neglected to yelp about it via the Internet... but considering god knows I yelp about this place on a daily basis, maybe they'll forgive me. Voted one of Detroit's best Pizza places, this Buddy's is set up more as a carry-out vessel than a "sit-down family gathering" joint. I believe ALL their pizza is square (please, correct me if I am wrong), and their antipasto salad- although consists of ham, salami, cheese with oil and vinegar- is something I crave on a daily basis. For all you high schoolers trolling the streets during your lunch hour- this is a good place to grub considering it's close-by and cheap (they have daily lunch specials).

    We decided to hit this location instead of the one we initially wanted to (Detroit) because it was closer to home and it fit our daily schedule better. Unfortunately, my experience started out on the negative side when hubby texted me to say they didn't have fries so he got breadsticks instead. Yes, I knew this location was carry-out only, but I still thought they'd have the seasoned fries. So, right off the bat--before even seeing or tasting the food--I mentally reduced their rating by one star for the missing fries (along with no mention of a reduced menu on the website). So my initial pissiness aside, how was the pizza, you're wondering? The breadsticks? The homemade ranch dressing (which they did have, and we got as our breadstick dipping sauce)? The pizza was good--definitely tasty and a notch above the typical Jet's or Dolly's we usually get--but it wasn't nearly the "end all and be all" of pizza like we were led to believe from the advertising, acclaim, and hoopla. The breadsticks were, in a word, awful. Yes, they had to survive the 20-minute drive home...but I would hope a breadstick wouldn't be hard and almost-too-tough to chew by the time we got to the last few pieces. The first pieces were edible and even slightly tasty with a smidge of butter and parmesan (especially when dipped in the LUSCIOUS Ranch dressing) but there is no way I would pay money for those again. And the Ranch, if you couldn't already tell, was yummilicious. YUMMILICIOUS!! I am a sucker for a good Ranch dressing, and this was top notch. But it wasn't enough to overcome the decent pizza and indecent breadsticks. So, I'd say this place is A-OK at three stars. We'd probably be likely to go back if it was closer...or even try another eat-in location...but there are just too many other restaurants we want to try.

    Since being diagnosed with celiac disease, it's been so hard to find a good gluten free pizza that well taste good, but also didn't get me sick from cross contamination. The hardest thing for restaurants to understand is cross contamination. They don't want to have a designated cooking area for gf menu items, which in my opinion then what's the point of having GF on your menu at all. However, Buddy's does such a great job keeping their GF safe from cross contamination and it's so so good! They cook it in foil to protect it and change their gloves when prepping these pizzas. I love coming here and every time it has been the best pizza! I highly recommend celiacs coming here!!

    This is a detroiter!?!?!?

    The minestrone soup was great. The pizza was a little spicy. Very skimpy on the 2 toppings It was the worst pizza i ever had.

    I was planning to visit a friend that stayed not too far from Aria. As I was on my way, I stumbled…read moreupon this gem. I wanted to grab a quick bite to eat and a drink so I stopped here. When I walked in the front door I was blown away by the beauty of the dining room. While in a strip mall the improvements made that detail unrecognizable when you walked through the door. I sat at the bar and the bartender was attentive. The menu was small but very appealing. I ordered the meatballs and minestrone soup. Both were quite filling and satisfying. I will certainly visit again.

    Came here for a friend's birthday and the ambiance was good. We were seated first and then asked to…read moremove once the bread was out which was weird but we remained polite to them. I Ordered the Safe Word and it was genuinely unpleasant--bitter, smoky, nothing like the menu described. Asked for a replacement and got the Hugo instead, which was so much better with those basil notes. The smash burger they recommended was solid, but the fries were a letdown. They looked and tasted like they'd been air-fried instead of being actual truffle fries. And when I asked for ranch? They brought Hidden Valley. At a place like this, that's rough. My friends had mixed experiences too--some dishes were decent, others just fine. Nothing that stood out. But here's the real thing: we told them we were celebrating a birthday, and when I had to ask about dessert, they basically brushed it off. Most restaurants in this category do something complimentary for birthdays. Not even an offer here. The service was genuinely strange. Not friendly at all. Given the prices they're charging, I can't imagine why you'd choose this place when there are better options out there that actually care about the experience.
