| - We walked in and went to the counter to say, "seats for two". At that moment I realized it was an "order here" counter. I then saw all the self serve condiments, drink dispenser, plates, silverware etc. etc. The ordering of our food was the only restaurant human interaction we experienced while dining. It's an order here seat yourself restaurant. The Detroit sports' themed atmosphere was interesting especially being a former Detroiter. As for being raised in metro Detroit I was anxious to see Northside Nate's take on Buddy's Pizza, the square pizza king in the Detroit area. We ordered the antipasto salad and small four piece, sausage, pepperoni & onion pizza. I ordered it well done (for extra crunchiness) but not burned. OK, now the results and comparisons to Buddy's. The antipasto salad was very good along with the dressing. It was comparable to Buddy's. And now for the Buddy's pizza comparison....a drum roll please. Bottom line, the pizza was very tasty. It wasn't Buddy's but it was better than a few of the Buddy's pizzas I've eaten. To get closer to Buddy's, the crust needs more crisp and crunchy (more butter or oil? Who knows). The upper pizza was comparable though. All in all we enjoyed the food, ambience and will definitely try again.
