When I was home and came up here my brother asked where we should eat, I said some place I had not…read morebeen before. He kept mentioning Buck's. He mentioned it so much that I assumed he already had partaken. He did not, so it was a first for the both of us.
First, the view while here. Depending where you get to sit, you will have a spectacular view. Looking out over the river, with the sun setting, wow, is it amazing. I'm sure this is different depending on the season, but definitely try to take this view in during a sunset.
Service here was pretty amazing. As soon as we walked in we were greeted and seated. Menus in hand our drink order was taken. We took our time to look over the menu and decided fairly quickly. Although they do server salads, subs, pastas and stromboli, we stuck to pizza.
We went with the Pepperoni Classic, XL, deep dish. When I asked about the deep dish I think I may have stumped the server. I asked is this deep dish as in Chicago or deep dish as in Detroit. I really don't think our server knew the difference, but we took a shot in the dark here. Came out Detroit style.
But first, the Cheese Stix. Think mini pizza, except no sauce. Warm, fresh from the oven, served with marinara. These things, you have to be careful, or you will devour this all and leave no room for pizza. The Stix are definitely fresh, covered in mozzarella and still having steam coming off them. So good, but could trick you into eating them all.
But back to this pizza. As they describe it, America's favorite pizza. Heaps of pepperoni and extra mozzarella. Trust me, however, get it deep dish. That cheese crust you get with it just amplifies this pizza. But, even the middle pieces are just as good. The dough is airy, the sauce is a nice compliment to the bit of spice from the pepperoni. Everything about this pizza screams homemade. It will remind you of your mother's pizza.
