| About: | A Detroit tradition, Buddy's Pizzeria has grown from a little-known bar and pizza joint near Hamtramck to an institution. There are now Buddy's outlets in seven suburbs, but the authentic experience is at the original, crowded, multi-roomed eatery. Buddy'swhich operated as an after-hours blind pig (a place that sells alcohol illegally) when it first opened in 1936was the first spot in Detroit to offer Sicilian-style deep dish pizza, in 1946. The pizza is thick and filling and comes with plenty of cheese and sauce, and it is repeatedly voted the best in Detroit in local surveys. Salads, pastas, burgers, sandwiches and homemade soups are also on the menu. There is always a bustling party atmosphere. There's even a small area attached where locals play bocce ball, the Italian game of lawn bowling. |

I live on the west side of Michigan now, and still purchase Buddy's half-baked pizzas when I go back to visit friends. The pizza is square, thick, cheesy and has a flavor like no other pizza I've ever tasted. Secret ingredients in the pizza sauce? Who knows? All I know is that it's superb. The antipasto is worth ordering, too: tiny, diced chunks of mozzarella and delicious salami drizzled with Buddy's own red wine and vinegar dressing makes it irresistable!
