    Detroiter
    Javier B.

    I visited Novi and I really wanted to try Detroit style pizza during my stay. Buddy's is definitely a nice spot to come in and have a beer, and stay for the pizza. It really felt like a nice pizza joint with all the decor. We were promptly seated and had some local craft beers which were great. We decided to go with a Caesar salad and the Detroiter (when in Rome). The salad was well executed, and the pizza was great. It had a crust that was crispy on the outside but softer on the inside. The toppings complimented the pizza quite well. I usually prefer thin crust pizza, but I really enjoyed the Detroiter. I'll definitely come back if I'm back in the area! Bonus: they have good happy hour specials!

    Although it is not the original, this is my favorite Buddy's location. The dining room has tall ceilings and is decorated with iconic Buddy's memorabilia. My daughter and I split a 4 square with original crust, an individual antipasto salad (big enough for 2-3) and their famous Buddy bread. Service was good but the food was incredible. Crunchy, hot, and their ranch is chefs kiss Try the Detroiter if this is your first visit and make sure to get a Venors float for an authentic Detroit experience

    I know Detroit-style pizza is becoming increasingly popular across the country...It just never looks the way I imagine a Detroit-style pizza to be, which is a Buddy's pizza! I ordered online during lunch; $10 for a 4-square pizza with one topping. Can't be beat!

    Detroit style pizza for lunch! It was a cold snowy day and a pizza was what we wanted. We were in town for some family functions and decided to go get a classic Detroit style pizza. The restaurant was a little quiet because of the weather. Definitely love looking at all of the cool items they had decorated around the restaurant. Lots of classic Detroit history to take in. The team was spot on with service. The pizza definitely hit the spot. It was exactly what we were hoping for. The dough was light and crispy, toppings were delicious with the perfect amount of delicious cheese.

    Every time I come to Michigan I have to go to Buddy's pizza for some Detroit style pizza. On my most recent visit I came to this location and it fantastic. Got seated right away even though it was pretty busy. Service was great and so was the food. Buddy bread and Detroit public TV pizza. Delicious!

    Delicious meal here! I loved the pepperoni slice. Very tasty. Large square pieces. For 5 adults and 2 kids, we did 2 medium salads and 2 8-piece pizzas. Perfect amount. The salads were really really good. The Greek and house salad, I can't pick a favorite. Great dressings and accompany the pizzas well. Nice service that constantly checked up on us and filled my water. TVs inside showing sports.

    Whatever kinks were there before, they are all worked out now. From the service to the fabulous Buddy's food, everything is good! I have always enjoyed this space, large, lively and a lot of Buddy's and Detroit-centered decor! We enjoyed a couple of cheesy, tasty pizzas, the loaded fries and the fried mushrooms! All really good! All high caliber food! The pizza is more than a pizza, it's a deep, spiced up treat with great toppings, all baked to crispy and chewy in the traditional Detroit-style way. IYKYK! We also have had really reliable, friendly and efficient service the past several times visiting this location. I love the Livonia location as well. It is historically my favorite, but this one is right there too. This is a place to go when the pizza cravings are just too much! Very satisfied!

    If you like metal on your gluten free pizza this is the place. We pulled off a bunch of foil. They don't do a great job just meh. Pizza is meh.

    A suburban location but they remember where it started.
    Mark B.

    It's 5 stars because the staff seemed nice, efficient, and the place looked clean. The pizza was good and pretty much as I remembered. Even with a little wait we were in, seated, and out in an hour. I wanted to go to the original on 6 & Conant, but caught a bug on my trip out here so we stayed closer to our hotel. The only maybe slight ding would be that the Vernors from the dispenser was pretty sweet compared to what I like.

    All meat!

A bit on the pricey end, but honestly, the flavor is so good, it's almost justified bc other places don't come close. Ambiance is okay. It's functional. Nothing amazing about the ambiance, but it has a rather large dining room where it's a nice place to host a family dinner or a larger gathering/party/shower, etc. They have a nice buffet during weekday lunch hours. You won't be disappointed bc you can try a bunch of pizzas with various toppings and make a salad from the salad bar as well! The large pizza is VERY large and cut in an artistic style, not your typical triangular slices. We've served this pizza at various birthday parties and it's always a hit with guests. Service could be a bit more personable, but it kind of depends who you get at the desk. Pizza is fantastic. I'd say it's in the top three places I've tried nationwide. Best was in NYC at a place called Astoria (I believe.) 2nd was in MPLS at Punches Pizza and this one is THE BEST PIZZA PLACE IN THE DETROIT-METRO AREA.
