Buddy's has the best pizza in Michigan, and is on the short list for best pizza in the U.S. Not kidding. Not exaggerating. It really is that good. If that's all you need to know, you can stop right here. I'd never been to the Dearborn location before yesterday (My family went to the one in Livonia for years), it carries the banner just as well, with the great service and great pizza I've loved since I was a kid. I didn't know how good I had it until I left Michigan. Since then I've traveled all over the U.S. and had pizza in many, many places, New York and Chicago among them. You could call me a pizza connoisseur, because when most people graduated college and became less enthusiastic about pizza, I never did. There's a lot of good pizza and some great pizza out there and Buddy's is solidly in the latter category. We tried a new pizza called "The Detroiter" yesterday with tomato basil sauce, pepperoni, and three cheeses in addition to our usual ground beef and feta cheese and Italian sausage and pepperoni. All were great, but the tomato basil sauce was particularly good. The salads were also just as good as always. Buddy's food hasn't changed much in 30 years, but it doesn't need to. read more

Best pizza. I've had a lot of pizza in my life, and nothing beats Buddy's Pizza. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere and always feels comfortable when my family and I visit. read more

first off, this is a ford empployee "goto" place so it will always exist, whether or not it should. The pizza is good only when it's fresh out of the oven. leftover or slices, even if you get extra sauce with them, taste like rubber. the burgers are okay but again, only when extremely hot. the salads are overpriced and if you're just getting them for the dressing, you can buy that at Westborn Market. The staff can be really nice or really bad and the management is very strict about the 10pm, weekday, door locking. you cannot enter, even if you're with a group who is already there, after 10 pm, during the week. read more

Wings were tiny dry and over cooked bread sticks were just sad under cooked with no flavor. Pizza was decent but for 50$ all the food should be phenomenal and unfortunately it was anything but. I wish someone would open a Cloverleaf on this side of town they actually give you what you pay for! read more

I think about their pizza all of the time. So good. Their square Greek pizza is amazing. We usually split a small salad (more than enough for two), their famous "Buddy Bread" and and 8-slice square pizza so we have a few pieces to take home. The only downside is that the place gets packed in the evenings and their waiting area is really small. Worth the wait, though! read more

I love this place. Perhaps it's my childhood but, Detroit style pizza is the best kind of pizza. I don't even care what's on the thing, I'll eat it. read more

Service was friendly if inattentive, especially for a snowy Thursday night. Chicken tenders with the ribs sauce are very, very good. I had the Super Pizza, a bestseller. It was mediocre at best, not very flavorful considering the ingredients. They put the sauce on top of the cheese here, and if you like sauce, ask for extra as not much is on there. read more

Totally awesome food! Love the pizza and the bacon cheese fries were the best I've ever had. The 8 square was huge - too much for just two. We would have been fine with the 4 square. Also loved the free bread - they were actually garlic breadsticks. Yummy! Will definitely come back the next time we are visiting the Henry Ford and Greenfield Village. read more

Disappointed in your italian sub. Second time our order has been wrong. If I ever order again I will be sure to check my order before I leave. read more

The pizza is great but the antipasto salad is by far my favorite. If you get the medium it is huge and has so much meat and cheese. The dressing is light and refreshing. They are always busy but I have never had bad service. read more

This is a relatively new location, but b even though it's summer in. University town, it was busy. But we were seated quickly and server was friendly and fun. We ate a 4-slice traditional Sicilian pizza which lived up to the good reviews. And, of course, we had the local favorite - a Vernor's float. A good addition to theAnn Arbor food scene. read more

Stopped by this place after hearing wonderful things about it from my coworkers. Must say that it lived up to the hype! Delicious food and wonderful customer service. Must try when in Detroit! read more

Gluten free Italian pizza was restaurant quality. The toppings were pepperoni, basil, and tomato. It had a soft doughy texture and a good amount of cheese. Sauce was unique and delicious. The price was around $13, which is not too bad for gf. I am coming back. read more

B/d party surprise for hubbies 60th! 14 guests four of which were children. It was a combination of pizzas salads hors d'oeuvres pop and ice tea. No one ordered alcohol the bill came to $135 including 18 percent tip I rounded up. They gave us the private room which was nice so the kids could walk around the food and service was excellent and uhLala the atmosphere was great. They told us we could bring a cake in and they would serve it but it would have to be bakery ordered or bought from a store we could not bring in a homemade cake. You can get coupons for buddy's off of your phone. I would definitely come back and plan future parties here. read more

See all

This place has great food. The service was great. I loved the chicken strips and the ranch dressing is the best

We had our holiday party here. They were very accommodating. The pizza was great! There was a time that we could not find our servers though which made it difficult to get refills,boxes, and checks. read more

I always enjoy Buddy's! Whether it's carry out or dining in. The breadsticks, cauliflower appetizer and a good ole large cheese with pepperoni is always spot on! read more

Love buddies but now they took red dressing from the menu my favorite so now I don't go to buddy so much anymore why do they take retrosternal I don't understand read more

I'm not sure what the hype is about this place. There are way better pizza places in town, for the same or better price. I had very high expectations, but it was just meh. I will most likely give this place another try in the future. It may have just been an off day. read more

Pizza crust is really good. Tomato sauce has a little tang. Service was good . Atmosphere very good. Would definitely come back.

Best pizza in town Love the deep dish With extra cheese and the endless supply of Parmesan on top read more

Have had this several times. Usually the Detroit location but this location is nice too. Had it a couple times and the service is timely and the food is solid. The tiramisu was pretty good as was the buddy bread. The regular pepperoni is good. Will be going back in the future. read more

Both of my parents are from Detroit, so Buddy's Pizza is a legend in their minds...and they've passed down this love of Buddy's to us kids. So driving down Michigan, looking for a Shwarma place, we passed Buddy's and I asked the kids if they'd rather have pizza... "Not just pizza, but quite possibly the best pizza in the state". They were all over it, so we pulled in. The family-sized greek salad was a great appetizer for us. The DPTV pizza (two types of pepperoni) was amazing. My sons and I devoured that. My daughters and wife split two gluten free pizzas. They are gluten-free pizza snobs and to a person, they all agreed Buddy's had the best gluten-free pizza they've ever had. Do yourself and your family a favor...swing into a Buddy's and taste a Detroit legend! read more

This restaurant is shady and dishonest. we ordered three pizzas and two salads and asked if we could use three coupons they said yes. They took off two coupons for 8.49 each but the bill was missing the 3rd discount so I asked them to put the third coupon against the bill and our rude waitress took the first two coupons OFF and added the third one so we LOST $17 discount but she added $3 discount. read more

Great food! Amazing sides even for the picky eater. The waitress Revelle was awesome and very attentive as well as the manager Jimmy! Made our service 5 stars for sure! read more

Ever since I arrived in Michigan, I've heard about how great Buddy's pizza is. So a couple of years after arriving, my girlfriend and I decided to try it. We went to the Buddy's in Dearborn, and all I could say is 'enh'. It was bland and it was boring. I don't remember what kind of pizza we ordered but it had no taste and the texture was sorta doughy and floppy. Not at all what I expected. This last weekend we decided to give it a second chance. We went to the same Buddy's late afternoon on Saturday and sat at the bar. It was an entirely different experience. There was just a handful of people at the bar and our bartender was great. She wasn't overly present nor absent, and was helpful with the leftovers without being asked. Good service overall. We ordered the anti-pasta salad and the Sicilian pizza. For drinks my girlfriend had a long island iced tea and I ended up having a Bell's Oberon draft. My girlfriend said her Long Island was OK, but not great. I will make the same complaint here that I make at so many places - the beer is not cold. I don't understand why restaurants don't get this, but they need to keep the glasses frosted or at the very least make sure the kegs are cold. Lukewarm and really disappointing. The anti-pasta salad is different in that it is served with lettuce instead of pasta. A small bowl is plenty big and it comes with plenty of cheese and salami. My girlfriend liked it and I'd say it's okay since the ingredients were fresh and plentiful, but this isn't a food I like so don't go by me for this. The pizza, however, was outstanding. The Sicilian came out hot with the cheese melted and it had enough ingredients that you got a taste of them with every bite. The crust was outstanding. It was deep dish, crisp outside and softer inside, without being as heavy as some deep dishes. I wished I'd skipped everything else and saved room just for the pizza. So overall, it was pretty good. Service & pizza were great but the whole experience would have been better with the beer cold. read more

Awesome pizza and environment! I love that their pizzas are named after Michigan landmarks and places! Tasty food and great service.

5 star pizza. All these reviews without 5 stars are fake news! I can't eat pizza without thinking I wish this was Buddy's.

We ordered the Supreme and the Detroiter. The Supreme was loaded with toppings. The Detroiter was very good- but not enough sauce on some parts of the pizza - at times it felt like I was just eating a bread stick. I guess that is okay because the pizza crust has a good taste to it. Both pizzas were very good, however. Very family friendly restaraunt. Not too many parking spaces, so I might go to the Livonia location next time. Had to pay for parking and they don't validate. The waitress honored two $4 off coupons we had from the Henry Ford Village. That was a plus. Great customer service. read more

Been there a few times, it is ok. There is this "pizza" that is a michigan thing. It is not deep dish, and is not thin crust. For the price, there are much better places. I am not a big fan of oil-proofed "deep dish". I can get that from Jets delivered at half the price. I think If you want a real deep dish pizza, pizza papolis is the place to go (well in metro Detroit). If you want a real east coast style, thin tossed pizza (real pizza!!!) go to Gracie See's. Getting back to buddy's it is ok. They have a gluten free pizza for those with allergies, which is nice, they use good toppings. I recommend you bring a group, because for 2 people to eat at buddy's it is very pricey. read more

Everything I've tried from Buddy's has been great. My favorites include the Henry Ford pizza and their minestrone soup... But I'm OBSESSED with Buddy Bread! It's like soft pillows of delicious garlic ecstasy for your mouth. read more

Stooped here for pizza and a beer. Very impressive menu menu with something for everyone. As a vegan there were several options, which sadly is hard to find yet. Anyway...generous Greek salad and their house dressing is simple, but amazingly good. Had the antioxidant pizza with vegan cheese, was excellent. Nathan was our server and his recommendations were spot on, along with his service. I will be back. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! The pizza, the salads, the wings!!! The staff could stand to work on their friendliness but over all a good place to eat for the whole family. I've been to just about every Buddys locally and the food is consistent. They thing that separates them is the service and on a scale of 1-10 Dearborn gets a 4. Still love the food though!!! read more

Best pizza in Michigan. If you're from out of town you have to give this place a try. It's pan pizza, so not exactly deep dish, but also not regular hand tossed. The sauce sort of goes on top- it's basically just a little bit of Metro Detroit magic. read more

Good pizza but really bad service. Guys you need to hurry up cuz people don't like cold pizza. Especially me!!!

We're regulars at Buddy's Pizza Dearborn. The day bar maid Ruth is an absolute treasure! Smart, funny, full of life-- she makes our experience terrific! Viva la Ruth!! read more

My experience at Buddy's pizza was really good. The service was great, the food was amazing, the atmosphere was absolutely perfect. They were able to accommodate our entire party for a birthday party. I really love to get the old-fashioned pepperoni as it is on top of the pizza and I only love the flavor but not the actual me. Buddies pizza is a teacher at classic and I love the fact that they serve for a Vernors soda. read more

Made the mistake of going to Livonia local a couple months ago and gave a poor review only to discover the Dearborn location was targeted. Today I bought a carry out from Drarborn and was quite PLEASED. DEFINITETLY worth the effort. Thanks Buddy for a very good meal. read more

As you'd expect from any Buddy's, this restaurant serves the best of the best of "Detroit style" pizza. And like all other Buddy's worth their name, this place makes a great Greek salad. I'd also recommend the "Buddy bread." Service has always been stellar. I went to a wedding rehearsal here once and they did a great job handling the mob and keeping everyone fed. There is ample parking in the back. Also, they have "slings" for carseats/baby-carriers, which I'd never seen before, but are like luggage racks. A wonderful invention, and made our pizza eating ever more enjoyable. read more

DELICIOUS Pizza. Friendly service. I think I'll try and have a meal here every time I visit! The crispy crust part mixed w the crispy cheese taste is everything! read more
