Buddy's Pizza 50670 Gratiot Avenue, New Baltimore, MI 48051

"Based on the reviews, I was skeptical to order and was ready to drive another 20 minutes over to another location. Glad we didn't! Called in a Detroit Zoo; very polite and confirmed what we were getting. Said 15-20 minutes; husband walked in at 16 min and it was coming out of the oven. Perfectly fresh and hot, all the flavors evenly balanced. It was absolutely perfect."

"I haven't had bad luck with the dough like the other reviewers. The crust has always had the right crunchyness on the outside and chewyness on the inside. Minus 1 star for the high price. The other deep dish pizza places are cheaper and closer to my house. I only visit when there's a $5 off coupon."

"We were passing thru the Detroit area to help my son's fiance move and I had to try a Detroit style pizza. I did a search for a pizza shop on our route and found Buddy's. There were many options but wanted to be sure that whatever square we picked it wasn't too far off a classic square. The manager and staff were a huge help. I make pizza's at home (Philly) so had a great talk with the manager about dough, pans and explained what the heck brick cheese is. We got an 8-square Detroiter. Now, I'm a total novice to this style pizza but I damn that was good, not to mention a beast. Light crispy buttery dough with great air pockets. The cheese was so freaking creamy (now on the hunt for good brick cheese online). The sauce was nice a zesty that went great with the cheese along with nice meaty pepperoni. If I'm back in the area I will definitely be back for another, maybe two.."

"First let me state, I don't think this is the same recipe as the 13 & half and Van Dyke store. The Employee that took my order was professional, and store was clean. That said, this pizza is over hyped at least at this location. The pizza I had yesterday was not good at all for almost $30 without the $4 off special for two toppings on eight slices. I will not be back until Keith lee visits, if you don't know him, look up The Keith Lee experience. The dough was extremely bland and flat, not airy at all, the sauce didn't have enough basil or oregano, just too tomatoey acidic tasting. I'm sorry, I can't justify spending almost $30 for the pizza I was served, it just wasn't it, Green lantern or jets is just as good if not better and cheaper. I remember going to the location at 13 and half and Chicago road years ago and their food was good. Thai location needs to get it together, this was the second time I visited this location in the last year and a half. I'm sorry I cannot return the pizza is not worth the price they ask for it. That's just my opinion. With the price of food nowadays, people work too hard for their money to just give it away. If I wanted flat, dry, hard crust, I could have just slapped pizza sauce cheese and pepperoni on Ritz crackers."

"I ordered a cheese and pepperoni 4 square and a buddy bread only to discover when I got back home that the pizza was cut into sticks... I return the pizza only to have the young boy working behind the counter start laughing and say that he noticed it while it was being cut. Ok so you admit that you noticed the mistake and still sent the food out? What lovely customer service! A manager needed to come out to complete my return and while he was doing that the young girl who made and cut my pizza came out and apologized and again admitted that she noticed the mistake after she cut it. This is now two times that you have admitted to me how much you hate your job and that you willingly allowed the order to be passed out wrong. I have tried this Buddys location 3 times since they first opened and every order has been messed up in some way or fashion. Buddys is not cheap pizza by any means and if I'm going to be paying $30 for 4 slices of za and a small bread sticks one would hope they would at least cut the pizza correctly. The quality here is not Buddys quality and if you pay attention to all the other low reviews you will see this location has not gotten any better since opening unfortunately."
