Great setting and service for our party of 11 from Tracey. Like all other Buddy's, nothing compares to the original spot on Conant. For some reason, same signature char cannot be replicated across the chain. That said, it really does not disappoint either. If you changed the name, you would 't say a thing. Pies are delicious if a little under sauced and they may have the best chicken wings in a pizza joint around. 3.5 for food, higher marks for local and service.

Autumn was a great bartender! Very kind and attentive:) My dad and I went for dinner yesterday and enjoyed the pizza, beer, and atmosphere! Great place:)

Who doesn't enjoy Buddy's? Even before moving to Michigan, we knew Buddy's was the place to go. The fact that they have gluten free crust is the cherry on top. A four square gluten free pizza with fries is our go to order. Their ranch sauce is delicious. We've enjoyed ourselves while dining here, even when an Oops or two happens. The waitstaff are always so friendly, even when they are slammed!

Happy birthday to me upped my free 4 piece pie to a 6 mile . Added in an antipasto salad. Both exceptional.

I love Buddy's and consider it the Detroit standard for Pizza. This location is considered "newer" in my book as it's only opened in the past few years. Most of the locations I've been to have been open for decades. The decor here is similar to the other locations, but it seems so much bigger and brighter! Current decor, large bar area, and of course, plenty of seating. We were seated immediately in a Saturday evening, and we loved it. Literally walked in and the hostess seated us immediately. The menu here is obviously the same, and the people I was with all wanted something different instead of piling on for one big pizza. I got the Detroiter pizza with Minestrone soup and a glass of wine. The alcohol selection here on the menu seems a bit limited, but I'm sure if I had a special request, They would've made it for me. Being that I was absolutely starving, I didn't have the energy to order off the menu. Service here was good, but it felt like either they were busy or short staffed a person. Another warm body would've been great. I could tell because it seemed like the same two or three girls running the floor like crazy and only one bartender at the bar on a Saturday night. Our food here was great as always, and I'm glad this location's here. Thank you Buddy's you're the best!

I've been waiting to go back to Buddy's for some time now as I have been back for some time. This was my first time trying the Shelby location and right off the bat, it was massive inside. You have your typical Buddy's style decor with nice nods to Michigan all over the wall. My party was seated promptly and the service was great. We ended up ordering the Spicy Italian, the Henry Ford, and the Detroiter. I have to say, I was a bit disappointed with the crust as it didn't seem to get as much of a rise/wasn't as thick as I remembered from other locations. But other than the crust, everything was still up to standard. The cheese and toppings across all three were great and always, and the Henry Ford with the Blue cheese was a pleasant surprise (first time trying). Overall great experience.
