Place an order online last Thursday night for 2 small pizzas (1 with pepperoni, mushrooms & onions and 1 with pepperoni and extra cheese). When I went in to pick up my carry out, order was wrong. Mushrooms & onions pizza was right however the 2nd one was wrong - they made me a cheesy bread. When I brought this to their attention, I was told 10 minutes before it would be ready. After 15 minutes and no order, I asked girl in carry out to check on it. She came back with a pop and forgot about me. I asked again. After 22 minutes, order was ready. 2nd pizza was still wrong - no pepperoni. I spoke to manager (Konrad) who gave me a credit for this pizza. I won't be back here. They can't seem to get things right. Was told they had too many online orders. Wished they paid attention to details on orders. Moving on. read more

Extremely tasty Wisconsin brick pizza!! First time at Detroit and my best friend recommended we had to come here before flying home from the NFL draft! Cant wait to be back! Well made crust and cheese blended very well. They had stopped taking reservations by the time we got there but the takeout was open and had seating which was all our weary legs needed! read more

Buddy's Pizza - Warren - Empty box for Wisconsin brick pizza 8 squares coz we finished it off before I could pull out my camera - Pizza Near Me - Warren, Michigan

3.5 stars. First time officially have Detroit style pizza even though I grew up in the area. Does Jet's count though? Ordered ahead for pickup via app. Easy to use. Got a 4 piece pineapple pizza ($11 for one topping, $10 for base cheese) and breadsticks ($4). That's pricey for 4 pieces. I could eat one pizza by myself. With the breadsticks and the pizza, it's enough for 2. The breadsticks was a generous portion and didn't finish it in one setting. Also comes with sauce. Detroit style pizza is defined by the sauce on the top and the deep dish... Pizza was fine.. you could definitely tell there wasn't as much sauce as a typical pizza, which I didn't have issue with. my problem is that there were BARELY ANY toppings. There were like 8 pieces of pineapples on the whole thing. My family didn't like the pizza, but liked the breadsticks better. When I walked in to picked up the pizza (around weekday lunch), I was not impressed with the service. There was one other person picking something up, but it took a while for me to be greeted. Try it... I had a coupon, but I don't think I'd pay full price. It was decent, but kind of expected better. read more

Good food and service. Hostess and wait staff are always friendly even when busy. Bartender is top notch on his drink making skills. We are never disappointed. read more

We no longer live in Michigan and miss Buddys! You can purchase frozen pizza and salad dressing. Their salad dressing is the best. Staff is always pleasant!!! read more

Took my wife to Buddy's pizza for the first time, and she loved it. She keeps her pizza simple, lite cheese, spicy pepperoni. She hates heavy cheese and most places have not prepared it to her satisfaction, and buddy's nailed it. Having a large family, it was nice for us to enjoy the bar, just the two of us. Our compliments to our bartender Denise for being engaging and pleasant...keeping an eye on our drinks and ensuring that our food came out right. For us it is important to not be overwhelmed by the server, or ignored....Denise hit that balance perfectly! Being that I already loved Buddies, I am happy that my wife now enjoys it as well. We'll be back! read more

Good food but I ordered gluten free and they gave us a regular - it was a pickup order and manger said they will credit us but they never gave the credit - most likely won't go back anytime soon read more

Very good experience. Pizza was great. Definitely will eat there again. Service was and surroundings were wonderful.

While on a work trip in Warren, Michigan I'd always see this restaurant packed so I decided to give this pizza place a try and boy I'm glad I did... We I arrived I had a 15-30 minute wait which did bother me since it was a Sunday around 5pm. Once seated I asked what's good and my waitress told me to try the speciality pizzas. I ordered buddy's bread, cheese sticks, bbq chicken pizza and deluxe pizza. Buddy's bread- This was like garlic bread sticks with marinara sauce. It was a good appetizer to start my dinner experience here. Cheese sticks- This were amazing for some odd reason. They weren't your typical frozen fried ones... These were fresh and would crumble easily because they were freshly made. BBQ chicken pizza- This Sicilian style pizza was delish! The tender pieces of chicken and barbecue sauce matched perfectly. This is a great pizza to try! Deluxe meat pizza- This pizza had all the meats and was a little too heavy for me. It had all the meats you can think of but like I said it was heavy. This restaurant definitely has lived up to the hype and I highly recommend this place. read more

What's to hate? Had a family luncheon here and everything was money. We had a fantastic server that ran around the place taking care of literally everyone. She was great! Too bad some other patrons were total d- bags and ran out on paying their bill with our same server. Hell has a place for you people... so we made it up to her in her tip, that's how much she deserved it! Food was perfect. Can't mess up a Buddy's antipasto and pizza when it comes from Buddys direct and from a location that has been in that location for decades. Prices were good too for a party of 30. It was like $24/ person for unlimited pizza/ salad and some drinks. Place wasn't too busy either for a Sunday at 3 pm. I wouldn't hesitate to revisit when in the area. Oh and treat your servers with respect when they bust their arse for you. read more

Just an update, we came here last night for their new Buffalo Chicken Pizza! It was delicious. If you haven't tried it, you are missing out! Also, they have a new phone app to track your Buddy's rewards. As soon as you sign up, you get an offer for a free 4 square pizza! Buddy's I love you! read more

While in the Detroit area pizza I decided we NEEDED Detroit style pizza and a quick google search told me Buddy's is the place to get it! We ordered a build your own 8 piece with pepperoni and mushrooms! The crust was thick, but light and everything had great flavor. My favorite part was that it wasn't greasy like so many pizzas are! We also got the Buddy bread sticks which were yummy and the tiramisu. Oh. My. Gosh. I don't even like tiramisu usually, it's my husbands thing, but this tiramisu was the best I've ever had! I was tempted to pick up another the next day and perhaps try to bring a piece or two back to Wisconsin! The cream was just so light, flavorful, and airy! My pics aren't great because we did takeout and were eating in a hotel bed, but definitely go check it out! read more

The six of us arrived for dinner on a busy Tuesday evening and we were seated quickly with our server arriving at our table before we knew it. With menu perused and decision made, I found myself saying: "I'd like to order the Lake Huron 4 square with a side salad with Italian dressing and a New Holland, The Poet, Oatmeal Stout please". Now beer is beer and salad is a salad but I was there for some of that unique Detroit Style pizza that I can't get at home. My Four Square came out perfectly crisped and cheesy with that flavorful Motor City cheese blend, spinach artichoke blend, roasted tomatoes and fresh spinach on top. My fork and knife made short work of that pizza. I could almost pretend that I was eating healthy as I sat there and stuffed my face with that hot and gooey deliciousness. Pizza, beer and good friends just seem to go together don't they? Buddy's is a great casual place to meet up with friends and enjoy some time that always seems to end much too soon. Thanks to Laurie H., Tod H., Susan M., Amy B. and Mr. "Center of Attention": Blake H. for sharing some great food and great company. I had a great time and I'm definitely up for another visit sometime soon. Buddy's Pizza is always a solid 4 stars no matter which location you go to. read more

Look, I love Buddy's Pizza, and eat it on a regular basis. I've never been to this particular location before, so I was excited to try it out. Our yelp group got here at about 6:30 and were seated shortly thereafter. For a Tuesday night, this place was busy! There were 5 adults and 1 child, and we all had different items we wanted to order. I decided to try one of their burgers to break it up a bit. I also went with a minestrone soup, which was delicious as always. The burger was okay, but not the best. I wasn't overly impressed, but I liked it just okay. Our server was good, but I feel like she was either overwhelmed or whatnot. She wasn't bad, but I was like "meh, good luck getting more drinks." I would return to this buddy's in the future as I love their food, but it's not my go to location. read more

Buddy's Pizza - Warren - Bombs away - Pizza Near Me - Warren, Michigan

Detroit classic. Good pizza, great meatballs with easy pick up. Carry out well organized

Buddy's is a Detroit legend for a reason. The best Detroit style pizza around in my opinion. Restaurants are always clean and the staff friendly. read more

Went to GM for a work event and Buddy's was right across the street and we decided to go for lunch but the restaurant was very busy without enough servers. Our server still did great to assist us and our food was very good. We ordered the Italian pizza with the salad and everything was fresh and delicious. The restaurant is clean and I really enjoy Buddy's pizza and it's a must every time I'm in Detroit for work. read more

Horrible Service! The pizza was very Dry without sauce and lacked toppings. We complained theyv forgpt the toppings, so the girl at Carryout put her Face in the pizza, and said: "I think I see some right here!" Lol. That's how bad it was. I asked her if she needed a magnifying glass to find it! The carryout service was overall extremely rude and refused to help with our carryout order! We NEVER had any problems at any other location. Just this one! Very Poor management! read more

Somehow I'm in my mid-30s and have never had Buddy Pizza. Well, that changed two weeks ago. We stopped in here on our way back from the zoo one afternoon. We were seated right away. My wife is a Buddy's connoisseur and she took care of the ordering. We ordered Buddy Bread for our appetizer, and it was delicious - absolutely delicious. It's like a really good version of crazy bread. The pizza we ordered was amazing. It's the Detroit style deep dish. The crust was cooked to a perfect crunch, the cheese just tasted like quality, and the toppings were fresh. I'm disappointed in myself that this was my first stop in at Buddy's, but I can say with certainty, I will be back. read more

One of the best antipasto salads around. Delicious pizza, and a pretty good gluten free option. Servers are always very good. It does sometimes take a little while to get your pizza - but worth the wait. Their carry out service is good too. read more

Visiting Detroit and wanted to try authentic Detroit pizza. This is it!!! The bartender was A1 with our drinks. LIIT and margaritas. The food was amazing. Oven roasted meatballs (sorry we ate them before I took the picture) are an absolute must! The food was so good we came back the next day... read more

Very yummy! I loved the taste of everything I ordered. My son especially loved his meal and he's a very picky eater

I am not happy with my recent visit to Buddy's in Warren. Even more, I'm not happy that I went the the website to share my experience over two weeks ago and NOBODY contacted me back! This location has gone downhill in the past years. I realize it may have been tough a year or two ago to get good people to hire, but there's no excuse. The management is absolutely useless. My issue is that my wife and I noticed our pizza was taking longer than usual and the table near us got theirs, even though they ordered after we did. When I asked my server (I don't recall his name, but lets call him Mr. Personality) why our pizza was taking a while, his response was "They dropped your pizza so they're making another now." And then he walked away. No apology. No manager assistance to ask if there was something they can do for the inconvenience. Absolutely nothing. When the pizza came 15 minutes later, it was excellent. Y'all know how to cook a pie, there's no doubt about that. However, it would have been NICE if, I dunno, the manager heard about this and said "We apologize for our mistake. The methheads in the back are very sorry and I assure you it won't happen again. Here's a round of drinks on the house..." or "For this inconvenience, we made you an 8-square instead at no additional charge..." or "I'm sorry. This does not reflect our service. We value your patronage. Are those fruit flies bothering you? This is a bad booth for flies, let me move you to a better seat..." Any of those would have been better than DOING NOTHING. Carryout is the only way to go for this place. Because, seriously, the bathroom is cleaner than the booth we were at. Maybe next time I'll just eat in the stall. I'm sure I'll get better service! read more

Always good food!! My work got it for us last week and it was delicious. I have been eating Buddy's pizza my whole life and it never gets old!! read more

Had an issue with my card Maddie's went out of her way to call us and inform it went through. Pizzas always great!

You can't really go wrong with ANY of their pizza. Exactly what Detroit pizza should be... get the brick cheese and you won't be disappointed. My wife and i have started trying the Mac and Cheese options and they've been great! Carry out option is perfect too... don't have to get out of the car, they bring it to you. read more

My 3rd time in a row ordering and there hardly any sauce on our spaghetti. We got meatballs and have to use those to make the noodles have some taste. I actually like Buddy's and would get it way more if it was not dry noodles... read more

This Buddy's location has a really nice outdoor dining area, probably the best in Warren. It is shaded and surrounded on one side by beautiful river birch trees and a wide buffer of grass between you and Old 13 Mile Road. It's also set back about 1000 feet from Van Dyke so it's altogether pretty peaceful. The food was not bad at all. My wife and I got Greek salads and she got wings. But I would have expected the grilled chicken on my salad to be at least warm. Gabriella was a wonderful waitress and let us know they'll be serving Moscow Mules next month. We were very happy to find a restaurant in Warren with some outdoor seating. We'll be back for sure. read more

We go here for drinks at the little bar quite a bit! Our bar tender Ty is always amazing and can make just about anything you want! We have had multiple food items an everything has been amazing! I will say the Caesar dressing is alittle thick and really garlicky for my liking! read more

We ordered take out. 16 Wings ($14.99) and garlic bread with cheese. It was ready in 10 min. The wings are breaded. We asked for extra crispy but did not get it like that. They were soggy. Hot wings were not that hot. Mild was mild. The wings seemed to be marinated in garlic or something. The taste is decent but it gets old fast and i kept burping up that taste--yuck. Blue cheese was nice and chunky but it too tasted garlicky. We only received 3 pieces of garlic bread--what a rip off. It was good but they burnt one part of it. Overall, I wasn't that impressed. It seems overpriced for what you get. read more

We love Buddy's , we have been going there for years. There's always something for everyone!

If you're from New York, you tend to argue New York pizza is the best kind of pizza. If you're from Chicago, you tend to argue Chicago pizza is the best kind of pizza. It's reason to believe if you're from Detroit, you should argue Detroit pizza is the best kind of pizza! I enjoy Chicago deep dish and I love New York thin pizza, but there's something magical about Detroit Sicilian style. Buddy's prides themselves on being the original since the 40s (1943 if memory serves me?) and I can see why. Their menu does include your standard appetizers (best thing is Buddy Bread!), salads, sandwiches, and entrees. But the best thing on their menu is Detroit pizza. Buddy's offers a variety of pizzas - classic Detroit, thin crust, and gluten free crust. But this is my favorite Detroit pizza because the sauce is more of a sweet marinara and the pizza itself is fluffy, but not too tall (so you 're not terribly full after 2 slices). They use fresh mushrooms (not canned!) read more

WOW. The young man (glasses blonde ish hair) and whatever else staff was helping assist with my curbside order deserve a raise or promotion..something. With my experience at other places, if my food was not up to par..they'd still serve it to me. This young man came out to my car JUST TO INFORM ME OF THE SITUATION AND ASKED IF I WANTED IT RE-MADE. Taking initiative and keeping integrity intact during the transaction. That is customer service. That is putting yourself in the customers shoes. That's going above and beyond. Side note: my last transaction with Buddy's Pizza included the same young man. I was equally as impressed with his professionalism and friendliness. He was very personable over the phone. In my professional opinion being in sales for years... This kid could really make some money in the right profession!!!!! Either way, this is the first time I've been satisfied 1000% with a business and I'm truly not a hard person to please! Thanks Buddy's pizza! (I will update with the name of the associate shortly!) read more

Best Detroit pizza around. Servers are great. Antipasto is good too. Birthday groups are treated great here.

As I already said, buddies is no longer a destination for pizza. Crust is like cement and it you ask them to not burn the Crust. It's worse. None of my family members go to buddies on van dyke anymore. read more

Good pizza, decent location. As good as jets pizza but more classy and a nice sit down restaurant.

I live in San Antonio but I'm originally from Detroit. Buddy's Pizza is the standard to which I judge all pizza. I've been coming to Buddy's since I was a baby (or so I've been told). Any of the locations in the Detroit area are great but this location holds a special place in my heart. The pizza has often been imitated bit never duplicated at other local establishments. The crust, the toppings, the sauce = perfection! The true original Detroit Style pizza started here. I'm a huge pizza snob (you can see from my other reviews) and Buddy's is the reigning champ in Michigan and anywhere! read more

Buddy's Pizza - Warren - Pizza Near Me - Warren, Michigan

We usually get carry out every 1-2 months. Pizza was fresh, hot and delicious. We ordered 1/2 and 1/2 and toppings were correct. Could have been a little more generous on the toppings though. Antipasta salad was amazing! Buddy bread to top it off, wish this would have been more recently made. Seemed dried out a bit. PLEASE BRING BACK THE GOURMET VEG PIZZA!!! Best of all the staff has always been pleasant and very friendly in the carry out area. read more

I've been here few times and haven't been disappointed. The fact that they have the vegan cheese option is wonderful!

Buddy's isn't what it was. Got a special and pepperoni the day after thanksgiving 2021. The pizza was lukewarm, toppings sparse (we thought the special was a plain cheese when we first opened the box - that's how bad) and sauce nasty. In the old days - five to ten years ago - buddy's pizzas were oozing cheese and hot when served. Several years ago I noticed they were coming out only warm even when served at the restaurant. Either they changed ovens or they are pre-baking the crust now, adding the toppings, then warming it up. I suspect the second because that would dramatically reduce the time needed to make one. So after 30 years of looking forward to buddy's - after the past few experiences - it's now my last. They are opening up new locations in Michigan which might also represent a more financially oriented company which could also be another sign of the decline. Very very sad to see this happen. read more
