Gluten-Free at Buddy's Pizza

Had a great experience. The server was knowledgeable and they have a GF crust in the 4 square size that was cooked on aluminum foil to stop cross contamination in the oven. Also ordered the Cesar without croutons. Very good experience. Ordered another GF pizza ro go, but it didn't reheat well in the microwave. Potentially would have been better in an oven. Looking forward to another visit.

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!

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!

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.

Traveling for sports and saw this location was close and good reviews. The GF pizza was delicious! We ordered the Detroit one. The crust is thicker than I tend to choose but it was really good, one of the best GF pizzas I’ve had.

I don’t feel good, giving a five for safety just because of the opportunity for cross-contamination .

Last time I went here the waiters seemed knowledgeable of allergies. Everything looked great and my pizza even came out in a tinfoil lined dish. Unfortunately I got extremely sick almost immediately. My stomach was an absolute wreck which is a shame because it tasted great!

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.

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!

Buddy’s is always our family’s favorite! After my daughter’s diagnosis, I was thrilled to find they were on the list of safe spots for Celiac! She has never had a bad reaction and we get pizza from here at least once a month. She also eats the Greek salad and is perfectly fine. They are known to be very careful!

We stopped here on our road trip as my family wanted to try Detroit style pizza. To my surprise, I was able to find reviews on this place on this app so I asked the waitress on their cooking precautions. She assured me that they cook the gluten free pizza on tin foil so it doesn’t touch the pan or the oven. They even provide you with your own pizza cutter so there’s no contamination.

DO not eat here if you have celiac disease. I was SEVERELY sick after asking 3 times (once before ordering, while ordering and before I ate) each time guaranteeing the pizza was gluten free. It was not! I am very disappointed.

Don't know about in-service, but on the door dash app if you want a GF pizza you have to order the small one. I thought the GF crust was a little weird. Everything else about their pizzas is great, though.

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.

If you are celiac: DO NOT ORDER TAKEOUT. We watched as the person folding the boxes was coated in flour. Only dine in to ensure you are safe.

For dine in, all servers are friendly and will walk you through their disclaimer and precaution. You must stress you have celiac or an allergy for them to ensure proper handling. It comes on foil with a separate cutter. Sometimes it can be rubbery so ask them to cook it a few extra minutes (a server recommended this and she was amazing). There were times my partner saw crumbs or saw it touched my items and they remade it no questions asked. With all that, you still may run the risk of a glutening but they really try their best and it is usually a great experience.

I had the Gluten Free Pizza at the Livonia location yesterday. When I asked the Server for a Gluten Free Menu she said they did not have one and said "I should know what I can eat or cannot eat". I laughed at that. Oh well... I ordered the GF Pizza which was not bad. They did not have any GF beer. I had a glass of wine. No issues from eating there. Not sure if I will return.

GF pizza is very safe, prepared and cooked in separate dedicated areas. They even go so far as to leave foil under the pizza, and leave it uncut to avoid CC.

That being said, the GF pizza crust really sucks. It's mushy, floppy, and depressingly thin compared to the real thing. If you order from them you really have to ask for it well-done to crisp it up. Even then, though, the taste leaves a lot to be desired and for the price you don't really get a lot. Don't expect leftovers.

Buddy's is always a safe and tasty choice. We've eaten here so many times and never had an issue. All gluten free puzzas are 4 square sized. They bring you a clean pizza cutter to cut yourself. They don't cut carry-out either, so no concern for cross contamination.

The pizza itself is safe -they wrap it in foil and bake it on the top rack of the oven away from the gluten pizzas. The pizza is absolutely delicious. However, i did feel some pain the last time I ordered from here and I think it was because they placed my GF box on top of the non-GF boxes I got for my family. Since pizza boxes aren’t fully secure and can have crumbs/grease on the outside, it’s important to tell them to package & bag the gluten free food separately. I learned to just be more specific with them especially when they’re busy. I will probably be back. The ranch is not gluten free, btw.
