Buddy's is a great spot with a lovely patio and interior space. The Garlic Parmesan dressing is absolutely delicious! For once, I ate more salad than pizza because I could not get enough of that dressing! I also appreciated that they accommodated our request to leave the chickpeas and onions on the side of the house salad (which was massive and fresh). The fried veggies were also really good, and we had the Detroit Zoo (roasted tomato, basil and a basil marinara sauce), Detroit PBS (2 types of pepperoni) and Eastern Market Veggie (green pepper, onion, mushroom, tomato) plus a family sized house salad. Even with four adults and two teenagers dining, we still had quite a few leftovers for the air fryer (well, not the salad). For $112, it was a delicious dinner and a great deal for a group of 6.

The dough has perfect texture, thee proper balance of chewy/doughy and thin...legit so good! We opted for a large 2 topping: pepperoni and mushroom, New York style pie. We could have used just a tad more toppings but overall the pizza was well balanced. The pepperoni is old world style, small in circumference but full of flavor. The mushrooms were fresh, none of that rubbery fungus among us! Unfortunately, HobNob didn't deliver to our home but pick up was a breeze. Parking was available behind the store front but I can see how during peak times it could get congested. The team member that greeted and helped us was welcoming and friendly. Worth the drive and I look forward to trying HobNob again and again and again!

Toppings: 5/5 I have never seen so many topping before on a 1-topping. Americans go overboard on toppings generally anyways, so I never order more than two toppings on a pizza. But wow. Cheese: 5/5 The amount of cheese on this pizza was a double-cheese equivalent at Dominos or Pizza Hut. It wasn't fresh mozzarella (like they hopefully have on their hearth baked ones), but it was cheese galore. Sauce: 4/5 The two most important parts of a pizza is the crust and the sauce. That is what takes skill. This sauce is really quite good. Much better than you will find in any local chain like Howie's or Cottage Inn, and slightly better than Dominos or Pizza Hut. Not awesome, but good. It doesn't taste like that nasty and sugary stuff. Crust: 3.5/5 I don't go easy on crust reviews. 3.5 is actually good for America. 5/5 Is a good joint in Naples. The crust here was better than Dominos and Pizza Hut. It was somewhat light and did not get soggy. But at the same time the outer edges were compressed and not airy at all. Pizza joints should pride themselves on the crust, and not have the cheese go half an inch to the edge like this one. Anyone can throw a bunch of cheese down. Crust is what separates the truly good pizza. Overall, it's good pizza. I will be back. I can foresee them taking a lot of customers away from Cottage Inn if they were closer to the bars and had late night deals. I would like to try their hearth pizza next, to see if it comes close to a Neapolitan style.

Menu also includes subs, salads, fried appetizers, chicken, and ribs. The rest of the establishment was your standard convenient-store, along with a large liquor selection and keg service...very impressive. Kudos to the owner for snagging a prime location and turning it into a great addition to an up-and-coming neighborhood. If the EL city government ever gets with the program and redevelops the blight at the Abbot/EGR intersection, this place may need to add a second story.

Everything seemed right: location, reputation, aromas, price and food presentation but…read moreunfortunately Spagnuolo's fell short on taste and texture. We opted for the margarita pizza, pasta carbonara, and chicken parmesan. Our entrees each came with a piece of focaccia and a side salad. (Super great value but I guess in this instance, you get what you pay for) The salad was fresh and the bread was fluffy and warm. The margarita pizza is served with tomato sauce, cheddar cheese, and a sprinkle of basil; certainly not the margarita pizza neither of us or our tastebuds are accustomed. The chicken parmesan was beautiful when brought to the table. However, disappointment set in after the first few bites. The chicken was not breaded in the least nor was it seemingly seasoned. After doctoring with black pepper, red pepper flakes, and extra parmesan it was tolerable as the tomato sauce had decent flavor. The carbonara would have been better with half of the pasta or twice the sauce, it just was uneventful. Our beverages were decent and also fairly priced. The service was also a highlight of the experience. The team members we encountered were friendly although I'm not sure I trust their judgement on which dishes to select. The restaurant itself was a casual setting with scattered diners throughout. There were some regulars, which was evident through interactions with team members, and a mixture of young and mature families. We really wanted to love Spagnuolo's as it is close to our new home and when you're in the mood for saucy pasta goodness or having a shove pizza in my face moment, you don't want to have to go far. It seems our search will continue.

I think it took at least 15 minutes to get our drinks ordered and of course the food order after that took probably close to 20 minutes. What I find surprising is that ordering an appetizer and salads took a long time to get. Aren't those easy things? I guess I resented ordering breadsticks when the meal came with foccia bread anyway so now we were stuck with all this bread on our table. I had the chicken Parmesan and it was covered with so much cheese! I couldn't tell if there was any chicken on the plate. The side of pasta was not more than a cup serving and the sauce unremarkable. The waitress was also the bartender which made service extra slow. Place decent and dated but nothing to write home about. I'm glad I can't go back!

A big group needs space and a huge menu so everyone can actually find something they want to eat. The college aged kids working the tables were running around trying their absolute best to keep up with the drink orders and the food. It took forever for anything to arrive, but honestly that part is understandable with a crowd our size. Things started getting weird when the entrees showed up before the appetizers and salads. I dug into my stuffed Chicago style pizza and noticed it was barely warm. Even stranger, it was sitting in this unbaked pan on top of some weird tray keeping it off the bottom. There was zero crusting on the pan at all, which makes no sense for a pizza that is supposed to bake for thirty minutes. It was just a lukewarm disappointment. Then the night took a massive turn for the worse. Halfway through the meal, the guy sitting right next to me jumped up because he saw a bug. He lifted his pizza up, and a live cockroach came running out across the table. One of our friends had to trap the thing under a glass. The whole table went into a frenzy, so we called for the manager. When he finally showed up, he was completely nonchalant about the fact that a live roach just crawled out of our dinner. He gave us a casual apology and walked away. After waiting around for another half hour, we spotted him just casually wiping down other tables. We had to confront him again to see what was being done, and he just brushed us off by saying the waitress would handle it. He comped a few minor things, but left almost the entire bill full. We had to push him a third time because half the table lost their appetite and refused to pay for food that came out of a roach infested kitchen. He threw a small discount at us, but still forced everyone to pay for their tabs. While we were trying to settle up and just get out of there, the staff started opening up to us. Our waitress told us she was quitting in a week because this kind of stuff happens constantly, and she was tired of dealing with the fallout. Another waiter mentioned it was only his third day on the job and he was already planning to jump ship. To top it all off, we walked past the kitchen and office area on our way out and the sheer lack of cleanliness explained everything. Unless you want a side of live pests with your lukewarm pizza, absolutely skip this place.
