I downloaded the Buddy's Pizza app and got a free pizza, so Nate and I stopped in recently to grab some food. The restaurant was pretty busy but we got a high top table near the bar. The offer in the app was good for a 1 topping 4 corner pizza, and we ordered a side of Buddy sticks and an "individual" serving Caesar salad. The menu states that a "medium" salad serves 3-5 people, so we figured (correctly) that the individual size would be fine for the two of us to share with our other food. We arrived around 7:30 and Buddy's has an evening happy hour that starts at 8 pm, so Nate held off on ordering a beer... more on this later. The breadsticks and salad came out first. The breadsticks were hot and fresh, and a decent portion. I found them to be okay, they were a little doughy. The salad was kind of disappointing - it was fresh but was pretty underdressed, which was weird to me, as I feel like most places use way too much dressing. I got my greens in for the day, though. The portion was definitely perfect for the two of us to share. The pizza came out and I was a little surprised at how short it was - I'm used to Jet's pizza which is quite a bit taller. However, I really liked the crust to topping ratio with the thinner crust. The cheese was so melty and delicious, and the sauce was tangy and not super sweet. The crust was crisp and held up to the gooey cheese. I still think Buddy's pizza is way better than Jet's! The other items were less impressive, but you can't beat a free pizza. Nate did end up ordering his beer after 8 pm, which our server forgot about for a bit, but we weren't in a big rush. When the bill arrived, we noticed that it wasn't the discounted happy hour price, but we thought probably the free pizza was meant to be the only discount per bill. Either way, it wasn't a big deal, but something to keep in mind or ask about if you're there during happy hour and getting a free pizza. Buddy's is pretty far from home but worth a visit if you're craving Detroit style pizza. It's still the best chain version in town, in my opinion. (For a local option, check out Quarantino's!)
