LOCATION: Buddy's Pizza (17125 Conant Street, Detroit, MI)
GUEST(S): Robin Rothman
ORDER: 1/2 of a 14" Detroiter (cheese, pepperoni on top, tomato basil sauce, topped with shaved parmesan cheese and Buddy's spice blend), 1 slice of Margherita (cheese, diced tomato, garlic, oregano, basil, asiago cheese and tomato basil sauce)
REVIEW:
Distinct Detroit. When Buddy's Tavern added pizza to the menu to meet the demands of soldiers returning from World War II, they inadvertently began defining a style unique to Detroit. The double-stretched dough topped with hearty meats, Wisconsin brick cheese and seasonings is baked into a rectangular cookie sheet for a light-yet-filling pie. Buddy's pizza may resemble the shape of a Sicilian pie, the height of a Chicago deep dish pie, and the basic components of a Neapolitan pie, but the creative toppings and the crunchy texture combines to create a taste that is uniquely American. Much like the auto-industry that put the city on the map, Buddy's menu has had to adapt to consumer fads over the years but the original pies have persevered. A true salt of the earth pizza. I say that not just because of the basic fundamental goodness of it but because it can be rather salty too. As a fan of the savory and good, American pizza, consider me a buddy of Buddy's Pizza.

1. Robin Rothman and I visited the Motown museum before pizza. It is located in the very house ("Hitsville, USA) where Berry Gordy recorded a whole slew of #1 Motown hits.
2. We drove from Indianapolis to Detroit today. We could see Canada from the window of our hotel. It looked pretty overcast in both countries.
