Michigan Pizzeria Named One of the Best in America
Thursday (Feb. 9) is National Pizza Day. Here in Michigan, we’re pretty well known for our pizza. I mean, so many pizza franchises are from the Mitten, including Little Caesars Pizza, Domino’s and Jet’s.
Now, one popular Michigan pizza spot has been named one of the best in America. The list comes from Mashed.com, which states, “Pizza should be its own food group. There are so many different types and flavors, from thin crust to deep dish.” Very true. I prefer deep dish, but it’s probably the least healthy of the options.
So, what’s tops in Michigan? Buddy’s. The article states that it’s located in Detroit, but Buddy’s has expanded across the state. Of Buddy’s, Mashed.com states, “Have you ever heard of Detroit style pizza? It’s kind of like New York Style Sicilian — square, and with thick crust. But the pizzas here are smaller, so there are more corner pieces to enjoy. One of the best places to grab a slice is Buddy’s Pizza in Detroit. The original Buddy’s opened as, of all things, a speakeasy, in the 1930s. They added pizza to their menu in 1946 and have been serving delicious Detroit style pies ever since. If you’re not into square pizza, you can order thin crust here, too. The toppings are mainly meat, but you can also go healthy with a gluten-free crust and toppings like kale and artichoke.”
They add, “Unlike a lot of the more trendy pizzerias, the pizza here is cheap… and the atmosphere exudes Midwestern warmth.” Find the full list of the best pizza spots in America here.
