Beware! They will not honor their own coupons! Our family has been going to Buddy's for nearly 50 years and to this Troy location since they opened. We were given a Mother's Day coupon when we took my wife out for Mother's day, and when I tied to redeem it, this Troy location's manager did not honor their own coupon even though the coupon was still valid. The Warren Buddy's did honor it, and so now they have our business for the future and Troy Buddy's has lost our business!

Conant pizza (8 square) aka BBQ chicken pizza, very good
Liz P.

Dined in here today and unfortunately it was a 3-star experience, although the pizza is always 5/5 from me. We were meeting some friends. It was very hot out today, like 90 degrees, and when we walked into the restaurant it felt like they didn't have the AC on at all - I'm not sure if they were having issues or what. I used the bathroom a few times during our visit and the bathroom area was even hotter than the main restaurant, too. My husband and I split an 8-square Conant pizza, aka their BBQ chicken one. It was good but we were a bit disappointed they didn't have the Slows BBQ chicken pizza they've had before in the summers. Not sure if they'll be doing that this summer or not. I had a $10 off $50 coupon and when we got our bills (split - ours plus our friends paid for their own food), only 10% had been taken off. Our friends said they got about $5 off theirs, and we had $2.80 or so off ours, so we decided not to bring the issue up, but it was disappointing. I no longer live in the Troy area so we'll probably continue doing takeout from Farmington Hills, after this experience. But please fix the AC (I realize it didn't help that I'm 8 months pregnant currently, too, but it was very, very hot inside today).

Veggie Sampler
Alesa W.

As a fellow Detroiter, I must say I never had buddys until now! It was delicious! The atmosphere was nice and clean, not many people in the restaurant as it was an early lunch for us. We ordered the breaded vegetables as an appetizer l-so good, with mushrooms, zucchini and cauliflower and ranch for dipping sauce! Food came out pipping hot. For the pizza, we got a 4 slice with half veggie on my 2 slices and meat on my husband's; OMG it was so tasty-wow I'm so glad I finally popped my buddy's pizza cherry! My husband always raved about how good it was and yes it was worth talking about and driving to! Definitely coming back to get my fix whenever I come home!

Detroit Public TV

Ordered a pizza online. Pizza was hot and ready right when I got there. Friendly service. This was my first time trying Detroit-style pizza and was not disappointed! Perfect crunchy crust, delicious cheese and sauce, loved the old world pepperoni topping. Sort of reminded me of a high-end version of rectangular school-lunch pizza, in a good way. I ordered the Detroit Public Television, 4 squares. It was really tasty, but I felt like the pepperoni under the cheese didn't add anything. I really liked the old world pepperoni on top, so I'll probably try to Detroiter next time. I thought I'd only eat 2 squares, but I ended up eating 3 because it was so tasty. There are some tables outdoors that I might want to try when the weather is nicer.

Was in town on a business trip and was excited to find a Buddy's in Troy. I had the privilege of trying Buddy's for the first time 3 years ago in Detroit. Pizza was good. Service good. No complaints. Definitely would come back again!

Mediterranean style pizza on gluten-free crust
Maureen B.

We attended this restaurant because a group of our friends were meeting up there. The service was really good. Overall, the quality of their food is excellent. The pizza tasted good but unfortunately, not sure I would get that pizza again as got an upset stomach. This is the place to come if you like Detroit style pizza for sure. Very much a pizza bar style vibe. There's something for everyone on the menu. Give them a try.

Buddy's making pizza for 80 years & still unable to do it right!!!

Placed a carry out order today. Ordered it well done...came out as TOAST! Counter person must have noticed the problem as she came out to deliver the pizza to me rather than having me come to the counter & opening the box for me to view the pizza. I should have checked it before leaving... had a long day & have been caring for spouse, the last two weeks, who is recovering from recent surgery. We have noted this location has had an issue with the consistency of their pizza for the last year. Will never frequent again!

Minestrone and buddy bread
Sari G.

This was our first time at the Troy Buddy's location, and I can say it with certainty that we will be back! Our go to location to eat at is the Farmington Hills location as we do not think that the pizza tastes quite as good at the takeout location closest to us on Woodward. We did not realize there was a new location in Troy until it came up on Google maps. It was a really neat looking, open restaurant. The pizza tasted even better than usual and the minestrone soup was the perfect texture and the buddy bread was also great.

Anti pesto salad
Pauline W.

7/2/23 We initially went to another Buddy's Pizza (not sure where exactly since I'm not familiar with the area), but the wait time there was an hour so we went to another Buddy's location in Troy. Following my review from The Henry Ford Museum, it was rainy all day and just like at the museum, it seemed like EVERYONE wanted to go to Buddy's. I thought "Wow, this pizza place must be good if a lot of people are coming here".... When we got to the second Buddy's location, there was a shorter wait of about 15 minutes. Compared to an hour, 15 minutes wasn't too bad, but we had to wait that long for a table because they were short-staffed. Large sections of the restaurant were vacant as they were trying to keep most of the patrons in one section. Here's what we ordered to share: - Antipesto - Spicy Italian (8 square) pizza - Greek town (4 square) pizza - Wings (mostly Zach) We waited about another 15 minutes for everything to come. The salad came first which looked very sad and unappetizing. The wings were teeny tiny with barely any meat on them. The quantity of the pizzas were good for the 4 of us (we had leftovers), but the pizzas were pretty greasy. Service was terrible since they were short-staffed. It took forever to get water refills and utensils. I've definitely had waaay better pizza than this.

Happy hour is from 2-6 pm, not 5 pm like it used to be or what it says online. Come on and get select beers and wine half off. See photo of menu. Happy hour food too. We have the APP and get other deals which is appreciated. Pizza on the way. Stephanie, our bartender and wait staff is fantastic! She is friendly, knowledge about the food and is very attentive with great service. This is worth the stop!

Have been a couple of times; both were take-out, and they pack their orders really well. They a good selection of tea, milk teas. The Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea are on my "must try" list. Lots of frozen drinks and matchas. We Tried: Steak Fried Udon Egg Fried Rice Bok Choy with Garlic Sauce Pork Xiao Long Bao Braised Pork Rice Bowl Mango Crepe Cake (stand out) All tasted fresh and had good flavor. Prepared well. The Bao's were the smaller dumplings and didn't travel as well, but the flavor was still quite good (Bao don't travel that well, even only 2 miles). Would definitely recommend. Looking forward to exploring more of the menu. Can't beat it for an excellent weeknight takeout or a dine-in.

I appreciate all the ways to personalize the tea and it's Good that they have non dairy drinks options! The staff person kinda awkwardly set the tray on our table and left - she didn't hand out the drinks to us, which is kind of weird? The cake we ordered took awhile to come out even though it was right there in the display - and I even inquired about it. we were done with our drinks by the time it came out - so it wasn't great timing and we were just over it. The spoons were cute but way too small to enjoy anything - my kiddo liked it though for a few bites. I feel like this was just for ambience and not really sustenance, not sure if I would come back. Maybe for the noodles or other foods but there's lot of other options nearby! They also advertise pizza on their front sign but I didn't see any on the inside menu...? Easy lot parking - watch out for the large pothole up front though!

Renee's has been a trusted spot in our home for years because they make it so easy to order safely. They clearly list all ingredients and allergens on their website, and as someone who deals with gluten and dairy restrictions, I genuinely appreciate that level of care. This time, I ordered through DoorDash and the food arrived quickly and still warm. We tried a variety of things, and one of the standouts was the deep-dish meat lovers pizza with vegan cheese. The crust had that chewy texture I've deeply missed since going gluten-free. It held up beautifully under layers of sauce, melty vegan cheese, and a generous helping of toppings. Bold, rich, and hearty. The chicken wrap surprised me--in a good way. It had a satisfying chew and was packed with toppings and flavor. I also got their cheese flatbread, which had a crispy edge and that deliciously soft center. Now, the fries? Not great. Soggy and under seasoned. My son picked at them but didn't ask for more. Definitely not their strong suit. But the elephant ears made up for it. Warm, sweet, lightly crisp, and topped with just the right amount of icing--they were the perfect way to end the meal.

I think the most important thing to mention is that they have good ranch. As far as a midwestern…read morepizza place goes, this is a really critical credential. The food itself was very good. My niece has celiac and we ordered from here multiple times for delivery. We ordered pizzas, salad, cheese bread, dessert, macaroni, and more. The macaroni is so good that my non-celiac kids devoured it, too. I ate the pizza and really loved it. It was honestly a great, crisp crust and again, the ranch was a true, gluttonous delight.

As a New Haven pizza fan, the REAL kind, I was extremely disappointed. I know that after having eaten the real New Haven (Pepe's, Sally's, and Modern), I need to tighten down my expectations, but come on! They have these beautiful ovens, a nice, clean, and pleasant place and they turn out what I would consider pizza no better, perhaps a little less good than Hungry Howies thin crust pizza! New Haven is supposed to be crispy and chewy, NOT soggy. I tried Farmington Hills a few months ago and ate in, then last week tried Birmingham and carried out. For those of you thinking that my carry-out experience may have been bad due to the 3 miles I had to drive home, but I've carried out a LOT of pies from a LOT of locations, and I DO take that into account. There are some positives: The ingredients were impeccable. Fresh, high-quality cheese and the mushrooms were done really well. The pepperoni was of good quality but nothing worth writing home about. There are a lot of great pepperonis in the area. The doneness was great. It wasn't over- or undercooked. The flavor was good, but not, as some have said, amazing. In both cases, the crust was limp and soggy, NOT chewy and crispy. Not in the least. I don't mind if it's a little bit floppy, but not like this. An analogy I might give is to compare Tomatoes Apizza to Modern Apizza in actual New Haven is like comparing Jets Pizza to Loui's. Jet's is fine, but Loui's! (If you know, you know). To me, Modern in New Haven is at par, and not to be sacrilegious to our beloved Detroit Style, with Loui's or Palazzo Di Pizza, so it's not a style issue. My two experiences were both the same, so I don't know what to think. I'll give them one more try at some point.

My friend and I both ordered the Hot Honey Ricotta-Roni, one as is and the other no meat. We both felt the pizza lacked sauce and flavor. There was more bread to eat through than toppings and that was disappointing. For the pizza where no meat was requested and they said they couldn't do a substitution, you would've thought they'd add extra cheese or whatever other sauce they put on the pizza. I did request this over the phone but the background was extremely loud, so it may have been missed. Overall, the next time I visit Michigan, I'd be interested in trying another of their vegetarian pizzas to give it a shot. Thanks to the staff for being so friendly.
