Buddy's Pizza

Buddy’s Pizza offers a solid, local Italian dining experience. The menu is extensive and provides good value, with the added bonus of al dente pasta upon request. The minestrone and marinara are refreshingly subtle, avoiding the overly strong flavors common in some Italian restaurants. The staff is consistently friendly and efficient, and the restaurant itself is spacious and clean. A future visit will definitely include trying their Detroit-style pizza.

We came in excited to order Detroit style pizza, but unfortunately, our order was wrong. We couldn’t get the attention of a server to fix it, so we just went ahead and ate it. While the flavor was actually very good, the service and lack of attention to detail really ruined the experience. Disappointed, especially from a place with such a strong reputation.

Celebrating my daughters graduation from EMU. Had a nice area for our party. The server did a great job with our 4 tables. Food was delicious and we really enjoyed ourselves. Thank you Buddy's!

We were craving buddy's and they didn't disappoint. But the service was specifically exceptional. Our server Jessica S had plenty of other tables but was on point with everything the entire evening. A+ service

Im class of 2025 i went here on the day of graduation May 29th. I order the chicken Alfredo and it was very very dry... the other people in my party said the pizza was alright and the steak sub was good. I wouldn't eat here again.. service felt rushed due to we were waiting on a few people. And the place was so quiet that isn't a bad thing but music was basically off.

Stopped in for some Detroit pizza while here on a trip. Great staff, antipasta salad and pizza. Buddy bread was soft and delicious! Staff was able to answer my allergy questions as well.

Sorry, but may be not the best pizza for take outs. I use to love buddy's. It's been a while since I had one. So grabbed one for take out. Returned home to find an oily extra tough bread they called pizza, Lacking flavor. Definitely not worth the premium. The take out service was convenient, the staff was friendly. The Plymouth location is new and vibrant. For those people like me.. who are wondering “All Corner” (extra $4) is exactly 8 square size, but you just get crust corners on all the slices ( 2 x 4 square pizzas ).

Best place for Detroit-style pizza! Aside from the great pizza, it has a relaxed, unmistakably Michigan vibe, isn’t overly loud, and our server was very personable and friendly. Would recommend.

Loved Buddy's so much, we are here on back to back nights of our trip! Fantastic staff! Good beers! The pizza has awesome flavor! Our son has celiac, and they provided a lot of care for the gluten free pizza. Cooked on foil. You're given your own slicer, to make sure no cross contamination occurs. Huge fan and will recommend to anyone coming to this part of the country!

I've been a big fan of Buddy's Pizza for a long time but my last few experiences have been sub par. We ate at the Buddy's on Beck Rd in Plymouth today and what started out well did not end the same. The waitress promptly served our drinks and took our orders but this is where it started to go down hill. We ordered an 8 piece deep dish with half pepperoni and half ham and mushroom. The waitress came out with a pizza apologizing for the pizza being made incorrectly which is quite an understatement. What we received was a barbecue chicken pizza with pepperoni. She explained that we would not have to pay for it but could enjoy it while the correct pizza was being made. After what seemed like a long time, she came out with not one but two 8 piece pizzas. One was pepperoni and the other ham and cheese. Perhaps the chef was trying to make up for the original mistake. This was all fine and good but like a few other recent visits, I felt that the toppings were quite light. The taste was pretty good but would have been better with more generous toppings. I could maybe understand all of this if the restaurant was busy but this was far from the case. I have not given up on Buddy's but sure would like to see things improve.

JOEL was a rock star! He was quick to greet us & taking our drink order. He took our oderplaced our order and checked back with us twice in that time! He was SUPER FRIENDLY & pleasant! Prices were great! The pizza we had was AMAZING! It was a very comfortable ambiance!

First of all let me say how much I love Buddy's Pizza actual pizza. I have only ever ordered pizza because it's so good and it's what they are known for. However recently I tried the Greek wrap and it was absolutely delicious. So good that I might get it regularly instead of pizza. Anyway this location is always great. It's clean and the staff are always friendly. There is plenty of parking and they have good prices. If you want good pizza or a wrap in Plymouth this is the place.

Ordered online. Paid and charged. Got a confirmation number. Showed up on time, and got "The ordering system was not able to transmit an order scheduled for today. There was an issue communicating the order to the in-store system." This is incompetence on the part of corporate and the store, and now I need to call Jets and get delivery to feed my family at like 9pm. In-restaurant staff were not helpful nor appropriately apologetic. I am done with all Buddys for a while.

Stopped here post-football game for a friend who was craving Detroit-style pizza. Had been the first time I'd ever been to any Buddy's location. We got seated quick and our server was fast to see to us. We each got our own pizza, and a salad. Everyone seemed happy. The portions are very generous - for both the 4-corners pizza and the personal salads. I got the gluten free crust and was so wildly impressed and happy. It felt and tasted like a 'normal' pizza. Possibly the best gf pizza I've had here. For that alone, I'm going to be back. Possibly more often than I should!

I ordered two pizzas from this location on Postmates. My order was never delivered and Postmates refused to correct this, despite the fact that the pizzas were left outside of a completely different apartment door. This restaurant took the initiative to go above and beyond to replace our order and resolve this situation for us. I really appreciate the good people that work at this restaurant in addition to the quality of the food offered here.

Here in Plymouth for a work trip and wanted to try some Detroit style pizza! Buddys did not disappoint! Pulled up to the parking lot and it was full of cars. Even though they were packed, me and the co worker was seated quickly. I opted for The Henry Ford and the coworker ordered the Motown Museuem. The portion size is definitely good for the price. We both got the 4 square and struggled to finish the entire thing. Would most definitely recommend this place for anybody in the city wanting some good pizza!

Great Detroit style pizza. Great crust and sauce. Love to try different regional interpretations.

I was excited to try Detroit pizza from Buddy's. It's been on my bucket list of places to try. My husband and I ordered take out - all corner slices and chicken tenders. The chicken tenders were great! Not greasy and yummy. The pizza was bland. My husband double checked that we ordered our usual toppings, which we did. For my first time here, it was a miss. Not sure if it was our experience or the this is normal. I heard so many great things about Buddy's. Also, I read the reviews for a sanity check. Maybe Buddy's isn't my cup of tea, but worth checking out once to see if it's yours.

Haven't been to Michigan for a few years. Buddy's, the originator of Detroit style pizza, is a definite stop of favorite places. I ordered a four square pizza with old world pepperoni topping. The crust, though a little thick was light and the sauce had a good flavor without being too acidic. The salad was good but nothing exceptional ... salad is salad. Definitely will stop again on my next visit to the Motor City.

Buddy's is great--I feel like you always know what you're going to get. I've been coming to Buddy's since I was a child and it feels like nothing has changed. We ordered a large meat lovers pizza (enough for 4 adults and 1 child to share) and an antipasto salad. The salad was enormous and really gave us our full of veggies to complement the pizza. I think I ate two slices of the pizza and thought they were going to have to roll me out of there. The decor is pretty typical of most Buddy's locations, although this one is newer that many of the others I've visited. Our server was pleasant, nothing out of this world but nice enough.

Came here late one Thursday after getting into town from California. The wait staff was great and accommodating of our bigger party. They let us know the kitchen and bar would be closing soon but to just get our orders in before that time. We ordered a number of different pizza, bread, salads and sandwiches. Everything was great. The pizza was a great example of Detroit style that I was happy to represent to my California friends.

Been going to different Buddies for 50 years. Still think the original on Conant/6 mile is the best. Also, Cloverleaf is real good. Five people in the party ordering 2 pizzas. One kind of vegetarian and the other various meats and mushrooms. Neither one had a lot of the ordered toppings, cheese or sauce. Also, the traditional Buddy's crust was not as crispy as the original. Free refills on the soft drinks.

I've been to many different locations and they are all great. DETROIT STYLE Pizza is a hard one to beat. Better than Jets Pizza and they serve beer.

Have not eaten inside only done take out - Love the Detroit style square pizza esp the Hawaiian - they have so many combinations to choose from with the pizzas - The chopped antipasto is a favorite as are the buffalo wings - have done take out multiple times while visiting family in MI

This is not the Buddy's of old from Detroit. Shameful... Buffalo wings? Supposed to get 8, got 7 of the worst oily fatty wings I have had in my life. I pulled apart 2 of the 7 and almost entirely fat and coating Pizza? Thin crust , extra cheese, pepperoni....simple!!!! Tasted like a GD salt lick. Terrible and gave up eating it. Someone made a mistake on the salt or something I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN. SADLY

Really good food and friendly staff. Food came warm and fresh. Rich in ingredients. The best Detroit style pizza. Their greek salad is fresh and delicious.

This buddy pizza is the best! I love their multigrain crust option, antipasta salad, wings and chicken tenders. Walter is a phenomenal waiter and always provides the best customer service. Highly recommend!

We were coming through town and this was suggested by the lady at the hotel we were staying at. She said it was popular. I don't know why. Service was great. Waitress came by took the drink orders and returned quickly. We ordered the Greek salad (which we liked) We ordered a 8 square that was half pepperoni and half veggie. There was only 2 pieces of pepperoni on each piece of the pepperoni half. Veggie side was just veggie. Nothing special. We were hoping for pizza that was much better. This was just okay. Okay like Pizza Hut okay or papa John's okay. Well honestly I think papa puts more pepperoni on theirs. Would I come here again? Since I don't live near here and won't be coming back anytime soon that does not matter but I didn't like it. If this is an example of Detroit style I am not impressed

Attention purchasing department: Please switch back to utilizing Coca-Cola products. Your lower sales figures will thwart whatever great deal you have going with Pepsi. But what do I know I am just a dumb guy on the internet.

I was at Buddy's on Sunday with a large group. The pizza and salad were both very good. We had Alma as our server. She was friendly, efficient and did a great job.

This location does not serve the Buddy's I remember. Pizza is not that great and overpriced.

I had a business lunch here so no pictures taken. Had their house salad, no croutons with added beats and broccoli. Sadly the server was not able to say which dressing is vegan, she couldn't even check with anyone for ingredient list of any of the dressings they carry. That is so weird. So nobody from the staff and cooks knows what is inside their food? Really? To be safe I went with the vinaigrette. Salad was ok, nothing special. Others had pizza and they enjoyed it.

Pizza is not like the original location and under cooked Chicken tenders and bread are good though

So we tried Buddy's again. Had gluten-free pizza and a salad. The salad was amazing as always, but we threw the pizza away. It was a simple pepperoni pizza with Buddy's sauce, but it was inedible. It tasted like someone put pizza sauce and pepperoni on a cheese danish. They must have put too much sugar in the Buddy's sauce or gluten-free dough. I'm so disappointed. Buddy's has always been one of our favorite pizzas. It was Uber eats delivery, so it's not like we could send it back. This location just can't seem to get it right.

Great place to dine in after a very long time. The restaurant wasn't crowded and we felt safe. They do not take reservations. Be prepared for the longer wait time as they make it fresh after you order. Ordered : Cadillac 4 squares - good Detroiter 8 squares - below average Sazerac - below average We love their deep dish crust. Cadillac was really good. My son and hubby loved it. We customized Detroiter, changed the meat to chicken instead of pepperoni. It was awful, very disappointed and had severe heart burn in the night. It tasted no where like authentic buddy's pizza. Sazerac was below par. The glass wasn't chilled and they never rinsed it with absinthe as mentioned. We have never gone wrong with buddy's order except for this time. Our waitress was attentive and friendly, forgot her name though. She kept checking every now and then if we were doing good. Service was efficient.

Buddy's is way overrated in my opinion. It's good but far from the best pizza around. I've never been a fan of the sauce on the top which I know is one of their signature things. To me it's always cold and I personally think it's got an odd flavor. I generally get something other than pizza now. Their meatballs are good but in that same pizza sauce. I do like their antipasto salad very much.

We ordered a 4 slice, basically what we got was bread sticks, very little sauce. I grew up on the original 6/Conant and I had to ask my girlfriend what was that

Pizza is too greasy and too doughy. Tastes like a bad made hot and ready from little Caesar's.

Ordered a deep dish and a salad to go within an hour of closing. We were told our options were limited as a result but we were just wanting good pizza. Overall, our experience was on the disappointing side. The dough wasn't great but I wouldn't discourage anyone from going, of course, I'm not sure what the appeal is with their "famous" salad. It was decent but I just couldn't tell what might set it apart from others. Maybe our timing wasn't the best but the customer service was good.

Staff was super friendly polite and fast. Was clean and friendly. Service was great. Would go to again. Pizza is a little bit more expensive than it needs to be.

This is very poor quality for a premium price. We only came back because we were given a gift card from the area manager. Tonight's experience was not good either. The host was very polite and the server was good but manager and kitchen are below average. It started with they had no Italian sausage that was supposed to be on two of the pizzas. I asked why not get some from another location and was told the managers were too busy, but I saw them in the dining room the entire time. Our pizza came out little to no toppings and were given a discount but the manager never came to the table. The pizza was poorly made with sauce only on parts of the pizza and the dough didn't properly rise. If these were $5 I could understand but not for $15 dollars each. There are better options in the area and do not recommend.

As a Buddy's customer of 20 years, there are not enough words to describe how disappointing the decline of Buddy's is. Their prices are obscenely high. Their quality of food has been cheapened. Look at this attempt at blue cheese dressing. The menu still says Buddy's original blue cheese dressing but it is NOT the same. It's a liquid runny mess with no blue cheese in it. They ruined their menu years ago when they sold out to venture capitalists to start franchising. In a weak moment tonight, I decided to give them one more chance. Never again.

Great restaurant for dining with family or friends. So much variety on the menu other than the pizza they are famous for. They have salads, sandwiches, burgers and pasta. I love the creative menu names of pizzas such as Detroiter, Detroit Zoo and Greektown. I had the 4 square greektown which was brick cheese, feta cheese, tomatoes and spinach. It was delicious and will be my go to menu item from now on. 4 squares is good for me plus enough for another meal but 8 square is also available. Different crusts including gluten free is also available. Don't forget to sign up for the emails so you can get a free 4 square cheese pizza in your birthday month.

Absolutely Awful! Flew in from LA last week looking forward to having my home town food. First on the list was Buddy's. We ordered two 8 piece deep dish cheese pizzas. What we got were two totally dried out, thin, stale tasting pizzas. They were so bad we thought someone must not have picked up their order so they gave us theirs. We called the manager and she offered to remake them. They didn't want the pizzas back but we brought some of the slices over so she could see how awful they were. She looked at them and said she didn't know what happened and that it wasn't like their normal pizza. They gave us two fresh pizzas and they were great so we figured it was probably a one off and they had a bad night or a new chef. All forgiven until the same thing exact thing happened when we ordered a week later. We called in, got there early, grabbed the pizzas, took a quick peek, they seemed ok, got home and it was the same awful, dried out, stale tasting dough. The only thing different was that there was "slightly" more sauce and the cheese wasn't completely dried out. We had a bunch of people at the house so we couldn't bring it back this time as everyone was so hungry they just said they'd eat the crummy pizza. Not one of us will buy from them again. Big fail and major disappointment Buddy's.

I haven't indulged in Buddy's Pizza since back in my school days growing up in this area of the state. This is the franchise's newest location, and I wonder how they chose it. Perhaps proximity to the nearby ice arena and the activities there may have had something to do with the decision. Anyways, the parking lot was very large, but it was close to full when I met up with a long time friend for dinner. The inside was like a new sports bar and grill compared to an old style pizzeria like the OG locale in Detroit. I placed my name in the queue at the hostess stand and within five minutes, a cleaned table had opened up. While I was waiting for my friend to arrive, I looked at the menu. I never realized that Buddy's had expanded to beyond Detroit-style square pizza. There were burgers, pasta, salads, and sandwiches available too. Since we came explicitly for the pizza, the two of us ordered a couple of the 4-piece varieties... Detroiter and Meat Deluxe. The first was made up of cheese, pepperoni on top, tomato basil sauce, shaved parmesan cheese and Buddy's Sicilian spice blend. The second consisted of cheese, pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham, bacon, and seasoned ground beef. The food came out after 20 minutes on separate platters. The toppings were okay, but the crust was absolutely crunchy and delicious as I had remembered it. Pricewise, inflation sure had caught up to modern times as a square cost about $3 to $4 apiece. Overall, I gave my dining experience four stars as I have gained a better appreciation of how Buddy's has expanded since their origin in 1946.

Dined out before and dined in for the first time last night! Such a great experience. The decor was fun and Detroit themed. You can tell the place is pretty new as everything is very clean, modern, and has little wear and tear. There's also a nice full bar in addition to the dining area. There were some signs of the current staffing shortage we're seeing nationwide with a little longer wait times so try to be patient there as it's not something they can control. The hostesses were friendly and accommodating. And our waiter was so nice and personable too. He made great small talk and was on top of everything. Due to the longer time we were waiting on our pizza our waiter brought us some Buddy Bread, which we really appreciated. It was SO good. Buttery and fluffy. And the pizza was honestly worth the wait. That crust is legendary and the cheese is divine. It's filling though so make sure to leave room for dessert! For dessert, we got cream puff sundaes and they lived up to the hype I heard about. Nothing like a fresh cream puff and add in some yummy hot fudge and ice cream and it's even better. Our waiter told us to try the brownie next time so we will definitely be back again!

New place = busy on a Thursday (it is understandable because it's a new place, normally I go to the Dearborn one) Staff= 1 Star - waitress gave my drink to another table then got it back and set it at my table, ( I did politely ask for a new drink since the table had kids and didn't feel like it was ok to do that ..... I also noticed that she had a lot of tables .... which I'm thinking either they are short staffed or they give them huge sections ..... she took foreveeeeeeerrrrrrrrr to bring things to the table even the bill .... Felt like we were forgotten half of the time ....... not a lot of team work effort .... there was a lot of staffed just standing around if not with other tables.... Food - pizza was great as usual (maybe just a tiny bit undercooked) and salad was too Since everything took forever we decided to go somewhere else for dessert..... Will update my review if I ever go again to this location. My friends and I love buddy's and wish this location could meet the other location standards ...

This place is amazing! Clean. Friendly. Quick to serve and very friendly. Your staff at the bar offered To correct and satisfy a disgruntled customer, seems like they (the customer) wanted to argue. Committed employees are hard to keep and find these days. Buddy's must be doing something right

My husband and I were impressed with Buddy's COVID-19 precautions. We felt very comfortable dining in. We ordered the mild wings for an appetizer. The mild sauce was spicy enough for us, and the wings were thoroughly adequate. Nothing special. The pizza we ordered was good, though it seemed thinner than what we remembered. For us, Buddy's pizza is all about the crust, so the pizza wasn't quite as good as we've had in the past.

Way too expensive! 17 bucks for a small 4 slice pizza? Very disappointing and we won't be back!

I went here for the first time and the food was average. I got the garlic bread which was good and big. I also got the fries which were okay. They barely had any seasoning and were kind of soft. I got the customization pizza and it was pricey. The pizza was expensive for just have 3 toppings. The pizza itself was average and the bottom was soggy. Also the toppings I did get were not a lot. There were barely any on the pizza. The service was good and the place was clean. Overall, the food is average and expensive for the quality.

The pizza was okay, but not great! Seemed different from the last time I was there. Our server was nice but never checked in on our beer reordering....too bad! We met a young family next to us who understood responsible parenting which made the outing worthwhile!

Chicken Wings were a wonderful surprise. We always think of buddys as great pizza. Give them a try Delicious

Awesome food and great place. Get the Detroit pizza it is just the right combo taste of cheese and pizza crust. It is a thick crust pizza but full of flavors and the pepperoni adds to the savory taste. I also recommend the salad antipasto with its oil dressing so refreshing.

Decent food - VERY high prices. Service was friendly, but not too quick to offer containers for leftovers.

I sat at the bar to kill an hour, during happy hour. The bartender was super sweet but I could tell she was wondering what the heck I was doing there, not eating and just ordering a glass of a wine; on a Thursday early evening, alone. This place might be one of the first restaurants in the developing area that isn't fast food. Definitely a good addition to the dismal stretch that is Beck Rd. The only other nearby eatery was McD's across the street. USA Hockey arena is also next to McD's across the street. The happy hour special is great. Half off apps, house wine, well drinks and beer specials too. I ordered some fries, though I wasn't hungry and darn if those buggers weren't delicious! I ate most of the basket. There are TVs everywhere, but no sound. Only sportscasters' heads and clips. I opted to watch some Netflix and had another glass. New and clean facility. Solid place for a drink and to waste an hour waiting for an appointment in the area.
