My absolute favorite gluten free Detroit pizza! It’s baked in tinfoil to prevent cross contamination and I have never felt sick after multiple visits. Servers are very kind as well!

This is the beast pizza I’ve had since being gluten-free. I called ahead and talked with them about their protocols - you should too. Everyone has been knowledgeable about celiac and what to do.

We haven’t had issues with cross contamination here. Th pizza is on the pricier side I think we pay close to $15 for a smallish 4 piece pizza. But we still get pizza here regularly because it is delicious! This is the best gluten free pizza I have had since my diagnosis. The Paesano pizza is amazing! The crust is similar to a ‘normal’ pizza crust.

The gluten free pizza gave me a reaction, so there is too much cross-contamination for my tolerance. It was also pretty dry—not nearly enough sauce. The other Detroit-style GF, Jets, is much better and no reaction. I would also change the price rating from one dollar sign to two dollar signs.

We have had great success here. They can make any pizza gluten free. The crust is actually think and fluffy. Recommend the pizza for sure.

I ordered a salad that came out with crouton crumbs so I sent it back. The manager made me a new salad himself, took our salad and the gf pizza off our bill. I felt great that he went the extra mile to make our food safe!

AMAZING! This place was so good, knowledgeable and very aware of celiac and precautions. I will 100% visit this place again, and again, and again. It’s not thin crust pizza either, it is Detroit style gluten free. And the pizza is the only gluten free option on the menu.

Buddy’s was awesome! Staff were friendly & totally understood my needs. I was able to get the original Detroiter gluten free & had no issues. I feel so grateful that I could actually participate in a classic tradition despite having Celiac. Absolutely delicious & worth the trip!

Have always had a great experience here. We order it to go or for delivery. They take extra precautions for gluten free including putting the pizza on foil to prevent cross contamination.

The hostess and waiter were not knowledgeable about gluten free precautions but they gladly checked with the kitchen staff. Ordered a gluten free pizza and it came out on tinfoil with its own pizza cutter to limit cross contamination. Very reactive celiac and did not react at all. Pizza was good too. Would return.
