Buddy's Pizza

Pizza tastes great and made in its own pan and is not cut to avoid cross contamination

The gf crust isnt the BEST, but I’ve never had a reaction here and have always felt safe here. Definitely worth a try. Tip: make sure they cook your pizza on tinfoil, and ask them to make it extra crispy.

Really delicious pizza to satisfy a craving! The GF crust wasn’t what I was expecting (it was very thin, but not a crispy puck like you sometimes get).

Most pizza places just offer GF, with no effort to avoid cross-contamination. They were very knowledgeable and explained their processes.

The crust tastes like true pizza crust. Loved that it was thicker than most.

Great service

Just had a great pizza! I asked all the right questions about Gluten Free handling and felt very safe. That being said, I’m not as sensitive as soon people with celiac. We also had a hot fudge Sunday for dessert. They use sanders hot fudge topping & Hudsonville Ice Cream which are both Gluten Free. They made ours with a clean scoop from fresh ice cream stock. We will be back!

They might have a GF crust, but this is not a gluten-friendly environment. Had an awful reaction here. Wouldn’t recommend this if you’re incredibly sensitive.

Celiac friendly?

No

I give them an A for effort. The pizza is pretty tasty, but the gluten free crust is much too bready. It doesn’t really strike me as a pizza crust. I liked the original Buddy’s crust back when I could eat it. I’d come back, but I can’t rave about it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable & excellent food!

Ordered the GF deep dish pizza. Asked if the staff would change gloves and be willing to use toppings in the fridge/cooler that hadn’t been used to help cut down on cross contamination (I ordered mushroom and pepperoni).

Wait staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. The party I was there with ordered other pizzas. The waiter came out and told me he had noticed the same towel they use for normal pizzas being used to pull the GF pizza out. He went and spoke to the manager and they came and told me they did not feel comfortable serving me a possibly contaminated pizza and made a whole nother one. The manager told me he was incredibly serious about the health of his customers and had been certified in some food safety. It did take some more time, but I was very impressed by their commitment to keep my health and me safe.

I will say it was quite funny when the pizza did come though. They usually cook the GF pizza in tin foil that they spray with cooking spray. The cooking staff forgot to spray this one and I couldn’t get it off the tin foil. 🤣🤣 The manager and wait staff were mortified that they went through so much to keep me safe and then I had to peel tin foil off the pizza crust to eat it, but I’m a pretty chill guy and the pizza was so delicious it was worth the little extra effort.

Such a good experience for celiac disease.

Delicious food and prompt service but antipasti salad was not gluten free. The waitress assured me it would be, but cross contamination must have occurred in the kitchen. Was extremely ill for days.

Absolutely the best gf pizza I had in all my 15 years of being gf! Be sure to order it well done since it’s a deep dish crust and you will want it cooked all the way through. My husband was happy that they offered dairy free cheese as well. The service was wonderful and everyone is knowledgeable about being both gluten and dairy free. We highly recommend Buddy’s!

Update. Still celiac safe BUT, the pizza quality went way downhill. The crust is just bad. I’ve tried to like it but I can’t. I prefer GF frozen pizza at home tbh.

Brand new, here on opening week and I’m so impressed. Staff was courteous and kind. Gluten free Detroit style pizza was delicious and cooked perfectly with crunchy browned cheesy edges and soft pillowy gluten free thick pizza crust. Love that now there is a location close to home!

Best GF pizza I’ve had in a long time! I couldn’t believe it was GF. No reaction afterwards.
