Buddy's Pizza

Buddy's Pizza invented Detroit-style square pizza in 1946 at its original McNichols and Conant location, creating a style defined by a light and airy crust, caramelized cheese edges, and toppings layered beneath the sauce. Metro Times readers have voted it the number-one pizza in Detroit continuously since 1985, making it one of the most decorated local restaurants in the city. Ordering the pie well done is the house recommendation for maximum cheese caramelization. The antipasto salad has become a local ritual accompanying almost every order.
