And, justly so, what with the many awards it has received through the years. However, things have become increasingly "difficult" at Buddy's Pizza's six locations in metropolitan Detroit. Are they restaurants or pizzerias? ... As the name on their sign now says, Buddy's is both. The emphasis always will be on its award-winning pizzas, but Buddy's full-service restaurant connotation is not very far behind. Back in 1946, at its first location on Conant and Six Mile, still operated for Billy, Shirley and Robert Jacobs by Irving Sosnick, all it had was square, deep-dish pizza and six toppings to go with the cheese, a couple of salads, two pastas, minestrone soup and some sandwiches. Today, at the Buddy's Restaurant and Pizzeria on Northwestern High- way and Middlebelt, those pizzas come with 24 toppings. And the constantly growing menu now has barbecued baby-back ribs with a delicious sauce basted on ... plus Buddy's seven homemade pastas that can also be gotten with sauteed mushrooms, chargrilled chicken, homemade meatballs or crumbled Italian sausage; three homemade, full- bodied soups (the minestrone gives Italian eateries a run for their money, plus cream of broccoli and the new chunky vegetable), eight appetizers (from mushrooms to chicken tenders to meatballs baked with four cheeses, etc.), eight sandwiches, plus four burgers and four salads. Buddy's is farther out of the pizze- ria classification with desserts like Sanders hot fudge cream puff, freshly baked pies, cookies and brownies. Even theparty space has increased at Buddy's on Northwestern, although it has been there from the beginning in March of 1982 ... Everybody knew about the room in back of the restau- rant ...
