We were there on a nice chill Monday evening, as tourists. Our server was friendly and helpful. We had a window seat for a great view of people passing by. The pizza came out hot and delicious. It's a great place to try a yummy slice of Detroit style pizza. We used the people mover to get here so that was convenient.
How can you visit Detroit without trying Detroit-style pizza? 🍕🔥 That signature rectangular shape + those crispy, caramelized edges = pure happiness. And the funniest part? All four of us ordered the exact same flavor without planning it — teamwork at its finest 🤝😆
My partner loves pizza and he loved this place. We had cheese fries and the vegetable pizza. Crust was perfection and so was the proportion of toppings. We’re not from Detroit so can’t comment on the authenticity of this but it was delicious. That’s all that really matters, right? Also, service was a bit slow (we didn’t even notice) and our server brought us some free bread. 🫶
My friend wanted to try Detroit-style pizza during his first visit, so I took him to Buddy’s Pizza right by the Lions stadium. Even at 3 PM, it was busy. He ordered the four-square pizza and loved it. I had the spaghetti with meat sauce—so good. I’ll definitely be bringing my husband and my brother next time he visits me.
If you’re heading to a Tigers game, Buddy’s Pizza by the stadium is an absolute must-stop. The pizza was phenomenal—something about Detroit-style pizza just hits differently. That perfectly crisp crust, the gooey cheese, and those layers of flavor make every bite unforgettable. It’s hearty, savory, and exactly what you want before nine innings of baseball. The service was top-notch from start to finish. The staff made us feel welcome right away, keeping the experience upbeat and easy, even with a busy game-day crowd. They had everything running smoothly, and our food and drinks came out quickly—no small feat with so many hungry fans pouring in. The atmosphere is electric, especially before the first pitch. You’re surrounded by other spirited fans, decked out in Tigers gear, filling the place with energy and anticipation. The buzz of conversations, the laughter from tables nearby, and the clinking of glasses set the perfect pre-game mood. It feels like a gathering spot for the whole city—good vibes, great food, and a strong sense of Detroit pride. Between the legendary pizza, the excellent service, and the game-day excitement in the air, Buddy’s is the kind of place that turns dinner into part of the experience. It’s not just a meal—it’s a pre-game tradition.
