Pizza Cook

Kitchen Buddy

Over 75 years ago a new style of pizza was born in the Motor City, and it was different. What makes a pizza Detroit-Style? The same things that made Detroit, MI a little bit of ingenuity, some stubborn spirit and a whole lot of heart. It's what sparked an original idea back in 1946 to take a steel auto pan, create something new and make Buddy's the birthplace of Detroit-Style Pizza. Detroit-Style Pizza is recognizable by its iconic square shape and crunchy, cheesy corner slices. Founded on the corner of Six Mile and Conant, Buddy's has now grown to over 20 locations and is expanding throughout the mid-west to introduce Detroit-Style Pizza beyond the Detroit area.
