Buddy’s Pizza Opens New Restaurant in Plymouth on July 16 | Eater Detroit

"Set to open at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, July 16, the new Plymouth Buddy’s Pizza at 15075 Beck Rd. near the USA Hockey Arena is a 7,000-square-foot restaurant seating 200 with a 25-seat patio; its interior will reference the original Buddy’s Rendezvous on Conant in Detroit. I expect a menu similar to other Buddy’s outposts, featuring Detroit-style square pizzas baked in blue steel pans with brick cheese and sauce on top, plus a full bar that serves options like the Griffin Claw–Buddy’s collaboration beer, Bocce IPA. For opening day the restaurant is offering giveaways: the first 100 customers will receive coupons for 12 free pizzas (one pizza per month for a year), and the first 50 email subscribers will get a coupon for one free pizza. This opening is part of Buddy’s broader Midwest expansion—recent outposts in Grand Rapids and planned locations in Woodhaven and downtown Detroit—after the restaurant group sold a majority stake to CapitalSpring in 2018, with further plans for cities such as Chicago, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Toledo, and Fort Wayne." - Brenna Houck
