"However, Johnson’s pies remain the closest to the version sold at the style’s birthplace, Buddy’s Pizza." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
"A seasonal Detroit-style collaboration that brings Corktown barbecue flavors to the chain's iconic square deep-dish. Available through Labor Day at all locations, the Yardbird turns a signature smoked pulled chicken sandwich into a pizza topped with Amish pulled chicken, bacon, sautéed mushrooms and cheddar tossed in whole-grain honey mustard barbecue sauce with a drizzle of apple barbecue sauce. The brisket pizza pairs Wisconsin brick cheese with smoked beef brisket and onion, finished with Mary Ann sauce and chopped pickles. The limited-time offering is rounded out by chili cheese fries and two Vernors-forward boozy drinks — a Moscow Mule riff and a Vernors-spiked lemonade." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Buddy’s Pizza is marking its 75th with an anniversary ale. It’s available at all Buddy’s locations, with a suggested pairing with the Oktoberfest pizza (Italian sausage, caramelized onions, roasted red peppers, cheddar cheese, and Buddy’s Sicilian spice blend) or the Hawaiian spice pizza (ham, diced pineapple, red onions, jalapenos, and Buddy’s barbecue sauce). The New England IPA dry-hopped with Nelson hops has hints of tropical fruit with a pillowy, smooth finish. 6% ABV The anniversary ale will be available through the end of 2021. The Oktoberfest and Hawaiian Spice pizzas are available at all Buddy’s locations through Oct. 31." - Courtney Burk
"Buddy’s Pizza in Detroit is credited with inventing the pizza back in the 1940s, although by now it appears on menus from New York to Nashville to San Francisco." - Jenny G. Zhang
"This downtown location on Bedrock property is included in the 'Decked Out Detroit' rollout of heated, open-air pergolas intended to conform with statewide COVID-19 outdoor dining rules and CDC guidance; the setups were designed with input from the City of Detroit health department to support safer winter outdoor dining (pergolas expected to debut Dec. 18). Patrons who dine here can secure eight free hours of parking in Bedrock lots beginning Dec. 14 and must follow all applicable state mask and distancing rules." - Brenna Houck
