Food: good pizza avoid the salad Service: great and with a smile Atmosphere: fun, lively and family friendly Price: $$ The pizza was a solid Detroit style hot and good pie. Nothing fancy or too crazy about the food - not where you want to go for a salad though. The staff was very nice and friendly. And the whole restaurant was full at lunch on Friday. They have a nice patio area to sit outside. read more

Sometimes when you're really hungry everything is good. And if it's not, then there is something really wrong with the restaurant. In this case, it was true. The pizza was SO good. I wondered if it was me skipping lunch and going straight to an early dinner weighed heavily in this opinion and it did not. I ordered a full 4 square Detroiter. It's probably enough for 1.5 or even 2 people (light eaters) but I ate the whole darn thing. I was famished and inhaled the first 2 squares. The 3rd and 4th were just eaten because I enjoyed the flavors so much. The added bonus was there was no crust! This only works if you're not really a crust person. I should have asked but I wonder if there is a thin crust option. That could make it even more heavenly. Pizza with bold flavors without all the guilt. read more

Buddy's Pizza - Dearborn - detroiter - Pizza Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

A neighborhood favorite, they have great Pizza, salad and beer 7 days a week. This particular location is downtown Dearborn, with plenty of free parking. The service has always been very good, and the facilities clean and well maintained. Our favorite Pizza is the Sicilian, but many of them are awesome. If you have never had a Buddy's Pizza, get deep dish and expect an awesome experience. The prices are fair, and they often have beer specials. I wish this was a national chain, Detroit style Pizza is my favorite. We will eat here again and continue to come back anytime we are in town. read more

We came to Detroit hoping to get some great pizza and we found it! The homemade ranch was also amazing, ice cold beer and fast service!

Antipasto salad was ok. Pizza was soggy so not my favorite but the service was wonderful

I really appreciate how attentive the young lady that took my order was. I couldn't walk into the store. She brought my pizza out to my car. I really appreciate how they treat their handicapped customers. read more

Way to high priced for what you get. The pizza we got carry out was very similar to cardboard. I'm not a fan and won't be back

First off I wanna say this place is USUALLY a very nice restaurant not just because of its food, but it's service and style. Unfortunately today's experience was COMPLETELY the opposite of excellent. Once I walk in there was no one to greet me for 5 minutes which isn't a big deal. I get seated near the bar and for 10 minutes no one came to take my order. Finally the bartender came to help and she didn't show the friendliest service that I was expecting. She took my order and for 35 minutes, I was still waiting for food. I ordered their Detroit style pizza because it's very popular here. The bartender finally came back with the food and dropped it on my table rudely and left without saying a word. Long story short the pizza was ok for the first half but the next it was half cold and it didn't taste fresh. At that point I just asked for the check because I wanted to leave. I came to this restaurant because I was craving this pizza and I haven't eaten at this place in 3 years and this restaurant is well known for its food and service. Now I see why people say that the restaurant used to be the best restaurant here in Dearborn. Hopefully maybe next time they will show some passion to their customers. read more

Yes the pizza, it's great... Detroit style means sauce on the top, blah... This is also the home of the best damn Caesar Salad on the planet... well, at least maybe outside of Mexico (yes, Caesar Salad was invented in Mexico, not Italy)... It's Lemony & Parmesan-y, Croutons are toasty and good and it's got light-crispy and dark-leafy romaine lettuce bits all tossed together and served with lemon slices for even more tart lemon deliciousness power... I used to be hooked on the Creamy Parmesan dressing, but this Caesar dressing is killing it right now... Seriously make it a point to add one of these to your next pizza night to help justify the oily, cheesy pizza goodness a little bit... it's Veggies! read more

VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! If you want classic Detroit style pizza, Buddy's is it: abundant gooey cheese, sauce with the perfect zip, and a thick crust with crispy edges. I always enjoy their antipasto salad, too. The place is unpretentious, the service is professional, and I always feel welcomed and relaxed like visiting an old friend. Over the years, they've added fabulous new sauces and flavor combos to their lines of specialty and signature pizzas. They have a great beer menu, too. This visit I had the Lake Huron. It could've used a bit more veggies on top, but the flavor was AMAZING! And the Buddy Brew beer tasted like another. read more

As lovers of the Detroit style pizza recently introduced to PIttsburgh, and being on a weekend sightseeing visit to Detroit, it only made sense to see what Detroit pizza was like in Detroit. There are many stories about where and when this style of pizza originated, but Buddies seems to be in most of those stories and was the place mentioned to us most often for their pizza. We liked the pizza and the quality a lot. The cheese, pepperoni, more cheese and the smokey sweet cheesy edges seemed perfect to nouveau Detroit pizza connesseurs such as ourselves. The pizza was good and the beer was cold. Buddies Pizza has many locations around Detroit and the burbs. Dearborn seemed pretty typical. Good stuff. read more

The food was amazing. Fresh ingredients and great staff! Best pizza I've ever had hands down.

Great Detroit style pizza!! Always fresh and delicious!! We eat here often and would definitely recommend.

Been going to buddys for over 25 years! This is my husband's favorite restaurant, they have the best ranch and chicken tenders.

Great pizza, rough drink prices. Service is always nice. Might be a great spot to go to after hitting a local bar.

First time in this establishment the drinks were good the food was amazing, service really topped it off my waitress Kayla had such a warm welcoming personality she was super attentive always there when we needed her but never over baring , definitely gave us an experience we won't forget we will 100% be back and asking for her section ! read more

I have no idea why this place is so popular. The pizza is disgusting! It was too much bread, not enough sauce, and less toppings than Little Caesars!!! This does not resemble a true Detroit pizza, it's a pathetic wanna be. The dough was heavy, perhaps old or not enough time to rise, there was no caramelized cheese at the sides and the sauce tasted old. The only plus, hence the one star, was the salad. It was great as was the dressing. Save your money, your time, and most importantly...your stomach. Go to Z's Villa or anywhere else for a real Detroit style pizza. This is a hard pass! read more

We are from upstate NY so we get "NY style" pizza, and in upstate, it's not great. When we told people we were going to Detroit, they said you have to have "Detroit style" pizza which I had never heard of. So I did my homework and Buddy's is on all the lists for "Detroit style" pizza. We ordered a 4ct Detroitian pizza and an antipasto to be delivered to our hotel room ( we went to the Ford museum & we were exhausted). The delivery was on time and the pizza and antipasto was delicious!!! I may never eat NY style again!! Can Buddy's come to Cooperstown NY please?!?! You would put the rest out of business!! Thank you Detroit!!! read more

My favorite pizza. Perfect every time!! I usually get carry out and the employees are always super friendly and always show me my pizzas before I leave. read more

Beyond the original location, this one is the best. They have been popping up all over Michigan lately but none compare to this one and the original. That Greek salad and a small deep dish go hand in hand. read more

Great place to come for pizza. Same old Buddy's. They have great salads, pizza, miscellaneous other menu items. It has a fun decor as well and patio eating weather permitting. They even have Weight Watchers pizza for those people counting points. Been coming for many years and the service and food has always been good. read more

I love this place . Detroit pizza beat Ny or Chicago in my opinion. Buddy's is the place to get it!

This place is really good but you wait a long time for your pizza to be made not the best pizza ever but definitely good pizza for the neighborhood. read more

1st time in Detroit...never heard of Detroit square pizza... MOVE OVER CHICAGO! Damn this pizza is good (and cheap). Totally a fan. NOTE: If you are going to order an 8 square, just get two 4 squares instead. Why? Well, because then every slice is a corner slice and the absolute best thing about this pizza is how the cheese bubbles up on the edges and you get this crispy fried cheese flavor. OMG! Now I need more. read more

Great pizza and service! Don't miss a chance to dine here when you are in the area!!!!!

Oh, Buddy's. You'll always have a special place in my heart. I remember coming here when I was younger. That was back in the day of some exceptional happy hour deals. Those are no more. (But haven't been for ages - I'm just saying, bring those back! ;)) BUT, even still, this place is great. The bartender, Ruth, is totally awesome. She's brings a lot of spunk and high-quality attention to the bar. The patrons here are also totally awesome - I always meet someone cool when I belly up to the bar. The food is delicious too! I suppose that my complaints would be happy hour deals, parking can be crazy, and it's super sad that you can't take your dog out on the patio. Oh Dearborn. But other than that, this place is fab. read more

To start things off, this review is regarding their buffet service. We had a group of 14 or so, which means that we had barely met their strict quota for a buffet style lunch. We needed all 14 sat in order to even get our pops. Next came the salads. We had someone at the end of our table who did not want any pizza but wanted to just purchase a salad outside of the buffet and she would pay extra for it That was not allowed. She was denied the purchase and had to have the salad from the big bowls that were placed out on the table. Next, we didn't even get asked what types of pizza we wanted, they simply brought them out and set them in random places on the table. So most of us had to take and pass plates because the pizza we wanted was all the way on the other side. It was not what we were expecting for the buffet and it would have been nice to know that prior to ordering the buffet. read more

I didn't understand why people ate pizza until I had Buddy's. Nothing compares to the cheese they use , their crust and the quality of their ingredients. The pizza that is advertised on t.v. Is as tasty as cardboard. I get that stuff for the grandkids. For myself, give me Buddy's. When my 10 year old grand daughter ate Buddy's she said several times, "Grammy this is the best pizza I've ever had " read more

I'm a lifetime Dearborn/Dearborn Heights resident, and I can remember when the Buddy's Dearborn location was first built back in the 90s. Any restaurant changes over the years, and Buddy's is no exception. However, the newer ownership has made changes over the past 3-4 years that haven't gone over particularly well with everyone, and it was noticeable in the food. Thankfully, there has been a push recently to bring things back to the 'traditional' Buddy's way, and I'll point specifically at the spaghetti's meat sauce. The cook in the back is making it the 'old way' with nice chunky meat and I can be a bit of a spaghetti snob, and this is much more like it was in the past. The staff is always friendly and helpful, and I hope the current management team keeps putting things back to the 'traditional' Buddy's way. read more

Buddy's seems to be the go to place for pizza while staying in Dearborn. I have had their pizza several times, the latest last Friday. We had several pizzas to choose from, as it Lunch while we worked, a training conference. I thought the pizza was pretty good, but not any better than others. read more

This still doesn't beat a Chicago deep dish pizza, but it still receives 5 stars from me. I ordered the Detroiter, which came with pepperoni, tomato basil sauce and their own Sicilian spice blend. Simply an amazing pizza. Plenty of cheese, could of used more sauce but still very delicious. This crust had the perfect crunch, wasn't too doughy. I will definitely stop by here every time I'm in Detroit. read more

Definitely our family go to pizza spot. Their Caesar salad is fire and the spaghetti and meatballs is bussin!

THE LASAGNA MAC N CHEESE!!!!!! Goodness. Now I normally order pizza and pizza only at Buddy's but something made me order this. It was delicious. My friend ordered the Buffalo chicken Mac and he loved it. Garlic bread and cheese sticks were also delicious read more

I remember going here in high school, the pizza was good, so I wanted to give them another chance, going back again, after about 10 years, it's not like i remember, food is dry, and expensive for what you get. It also seems like their ingredients changed, especially the sauce for the Buddy bread.. like most places these days, the people were younger, and friendly, in their own way. I feel like you're paying more to just to see their decor, then the quality of their food. read more

A square pizza is always a family favorite from Buddy's. The deep dish slices have a nice amount of cheese and the marinara sauce is thick and hearty. This location is a spot that I go to for carry out. A Great Lakes pizza and antipasto salad are what I like to order. The breadsticks when fresh made are piping hot and soft as well. Tip: There is usually a coupon on the carryout box for next time you visits (save so $). read more

I first tried Detroit style pizza in Chattanooga, and from then my heart was set! After coming to this place, Detroit style pizza is now my favorite pizza ever! The buttery crust adds a whole new level to the pizza, and the cheese blends were so unique and delicious! We were a party of two but got an 8 slice pizza. We did have to take some back because these pizzas are thick! If you don't eat much, 1-2 slices should be good for you. Also, our pizza came in super quick and our waitress was super nice to us and was always on top of things. If you're ever in Detroit, go to Buddy's. You need to and you won't regret it! read more

We got pizza from here as we were visiting The Henry Ford Museum. I live in Chicago but grew up in Detroit so I enjoy a good Detroit style pizza. The last time I had Buddy's was in Warren, Michigan, and the quality was not that good and it was expensive. My wife did not want to ever have their pizza again so we had been ordering Jet's when in Michigan. I talked my wife into one more try (my son was already on board) and we went to this location. We had a 30 minute wait for a table and not a lot of time before we had to get back to The Henry Ford. Our service was excellent and the speed was surprising. We enjoyed a salad prior to our pizza and when the pizza arrived we were all pleasantly surprised; this location did it perfect and my wife dubbed it as one of the best pizzas she ever had. Once we finished my wife stated we can go to Buddy's again next time we are in Michigan as she was very happy with the quality of our meal. My review is for this location and I give it 5 stars. read more
