Robert Daniels+FollowBuddy’s Pizza says goodbye to West MichiganBuddy’s Pizza, the spot that introduced so many of us to Detroit-style pizza, is closing its last West Michigan location this January. After the Portage and Walker spots shut down, the Grand Rapids store on 28th Street is next. That means no more Buddy’s deep-dish unless you make the trip to Metro Detroit. For a lot of locals, the frozen version just isn’t the same. It’s tough to see another Michigan favorite disappear from our neighborhoods. How are you feeling about this closure? Will you travel for your Buddy’s fix, or is it time to find a new pizza go-to? #Food #WestMichigan #BuddysPizza00Share
