Buddy’s Pizza — Downtown
The original Detroit-style name, represented by its Broadway Street location.
NOAH’S TAKE
Buddy’s belongs in the full Pizza Mode guide because the style started at Six Mile and Conant in 1946. This listing stays specific to the downtown restaurant, where the familiar square can anchor a day around the stadiums, theaters, or Campus Martius.
THE MOVEDETROIT-STYLE
Order the original Detroit-style square and make sure the table divides the corners fairly. The Detroiter is the direct route through brick cheese, pepperoni, and sauce.
GO HERE WHEN

MAYBE NOT WHEN
You are looking for the original Six Mile and Conant room itself.
