Good Pizza Company Grand Rapids

Great thin crispy crust, flavorful toppings and stretchy melty cheese. It's like a 10x better version of famous ray's in NYC. If you like it sauced you might want to ask for extra, but we liked ours as-is. The vegan pizza was so good I couldn't tell it was vegan.

I was excited when I saw that this place opened and was offering Detroit-style deep dish. Buddy's Pizza is one of the few things I've consistently missed since moving to GR from the Detroit area years ago. I've ordered from here a couple of times and had different experiences in terms of the quality of the pizza. Both times I've gotten take-out of the deep-dish style with three toppings and the sauce on top. The first time it tasted good, but was a hot mess to look at and handle and was a bit of a disappointment. Not sure what happened, but the crust was overly thick (overly risen?) and there was so much sauce (and maybe an overly generous application of toppings?) that it was very sloppy and leaking out of the box on the way home. But like I said, it tasted good and the photos showed that they were capable of making a good-looking pizza, so I gave them another try. The second time was a beautiful thing with a thick but not too thick crust, nice, defined caramelized edges along the outside, and discrete puddles of sauce on top. When they do it right, it's awesome. Hopefully the consistency improves on future orders as I love that there is a business offering this style of pizza in town, and I would like them to succeed.
