Buddyz

Not very impressed place is not that good owners are Jag offs Service sucks food taste like crap just read the other reviews that given only one or two stars time for this place to become another closed up restaurant in the area I give it a short time before they’re out of there

The tomato sauce is delicious as is the deep dish water tower place pizza… This is our go to pizza place in the area.

One of my favorite places. Great pizza, lots of different choices of toppings.
Family dining on one side with the bar on the other side.
It is like the local bar where you can hang out with friends and watch football or hockey.
Everyone is so friendly and bartenders Mike and Bubba are awesome.

Great pizza. Reminds me of Armand’s near grand and harlem back in the day. Have had terrible pitchers of beer in the past.

We used to like this place when they first opened. Now… not so much. The pizza sauce is NOT as good as it was, and they hardly put any toppings on their pizzas. We ordered a large pepperoni deep dish and it had 6 tiny pepperoni slices… really? Sorry to say they lost us.

Pizza was not bad. Service could had been more attentive. Perhaps it would had been better for pick up rather than eat in.

Both times my family and I have gone here the food has been excellent. Great pizza and spaghetti. The service has been horrible however, we had the same male waiter each time and he was just terrible. The first time he completely forgot one of our pizzas, and the ones that we did get took forever. The second time, after about a half hour of waiting, he comes up to us and says he forgot to put our whole order in. It then took another 45 minutes after that to get our pizzas. And the place wasn’t even busy, he had two tables to wait on. Then the bill was messed up, they overcharged us for a couple pitchers. After letting him know, we waited another 15 minutes and he didn’t bring our bill back, we had to walk up and ask what was going on. Great food, poor service.

Probably some of the best pizza around. However, the service is a different story. Took an hour and thirty to get 3 pies, after not having pepperoni and blaming it on a supplier, 2 of the 3 were mixed up got a large that should have been a small and a small that should have been a large.
If you can get past the service it’s a good pizza.

Pizza is very good. We always take out. Always hot. Stopped in for a couple of beers. Overpriced bottled beer. Disgusting amount of dust on wine rack. Bartender just fair.

Good pizza, despite being a loyal delivery customer, was told by manager they would not deliver to us because «they were busy.» Not exactly the best way to run a business in my opinion.

I have had pizza from all over the country and have only found edible pizza in 4 states. Illinois, New York, California, and Nevada. When it comes to deep dish pizza theres 5 places to eat and the rest are bandwagon posers. If you are reading this review because you aren’t sure whether or not you feel like gambling on a new pizza place then stop. It’s not a gamble and you will thank me forever and ever for telling you to just suck it up and go there. This place is absolutely wonderful.
How on earth is this place not 5 stars? There’s only 1 place in the country that makes a better deep dish pizza than this place and thats pizzeria uno… And don’t give me that Lou Malnatis crap they don’t even season their sauce! It’s just tomato paste!
Buddyz pizza has the PERFECT amount of chunky tomato sauce and super thick edges. With the not so thick crispy crust in the middle it makes for the perfect mix of crispy with thick layer of Cheese and hunks of tomato. The cheese as you pull a slice out strings as long as you can pull it and you have to eventually cut it.
Contrary to popular belief deep dish pizza really doesn’t have a really thick Crust like most believe. It’s really suppose to be about ¼ in or less thick and crispy with the edges flipped up to hold all the cheesy goodness and super thick and chunky tomato sauce in. Buddyz executes this to perfection.

Went to Buddy’z after talking my friends out of Lou’s. I just wasn’t in the mood for a deep dish and loved the Buddy’z in McHenry — so I begged for them to try this one with me. Seriously wish I hadn’t!
First, when taking out drinks, the waitress didn’t know what beers were on tap when she was taking our orders — okay, it happens. I used to be a waitress, I get it. She said she would check. She disappeared for 15 minutes before returning. We ordered our drinks and she took our appetizer orders. When ordering our appetizers I asked her what the soup of the day was — surprise surprise, she didn’t know and would have to check. Okay. We get our appetizers and I have to ask again, she forgot to even look. When I finally found out the soup and ordered it, I was really disappointed — I’m convinced it came from a Campbell’s can.
Next we order the pizza’s, for which we wait 45 minutes — normally with deep dish, this is to be expected, but we ordered a thin crust pizza. I’m not shocked that the pizzas took so long though, since they came out completely charred and inedible. At this point, between the long wait times between waiting for our waitress, complaining about the quality of the pizza wasn’t even worth our time.
Got there at 7, left at 10 still hungry.
Won’t be back — next time I want Buddyz, I’ll go to McHenry.

Great place: great pizza, great people, great bar. The marinara here is amazing. Also the pizza chips and the buttercrust pizza. And the other 3 kids of pizza, and their salads. The list goes on:)

Best butter Crust pizza ever!!! I’ve had a lot of pizza and theres nothing like and nice cheesy crunch with every bit! A+ ButterCrust

Historically, have enjoyed their pizza. Horrible experience ordering tonight. Huge delays, no communication with patrons, no effort to ease 40 minute wait after coming 1 hour after ordering. Drove away and realized 2 pizzas were wrong. So frustrating decided to return all pizzas for full refund, refused to keep despite offer. On principle, efforts to engage and retain customers were negligent. Algonquin location

The rating description for the two starts is perfect «I’ve experienced better». Unfortunately, the better I have experienced was actually at Buddyz. We loved their pizza. We have been consistently buying up their pizza since they opened.
Unfortunately, something has changed these past few weeks. A few weeks ago, we brought home our favorite Millennium pizza and it was bland and greasy. It is never bland and greasy. Tonight, we crossed our fingers and tried them again, thinking that we had an off night a few weeks ago. We brought home the Mag mile and it had no flavor. We tried to figure out what changed, but couldn’t put our finger on it.
I called to asked if they change the cheese, the sauce, the crust? The girl that answered the phone didn’t think so, but something is very different. Unfortunately, I think we are done with Buddyz and have to move on to find our new favorite. I certainly don’t mind spending $ 30 bucks for a pizza, but it needs to be fabulous.
Please bring back the fabulous so we can continue to support these very nice people.

We are always looking to try local resturants around the area and choose Buddyz last night. It is locted in a little strip mall off of Algonquin road.

This place is great! I really like sma
