Buddy's Pizza - origin of Detroit-style pizza

Buddy's Rendezvous, opened in 1946 on Conant Street, is the restaurant that claims to have originated the square, deep-dish Detroit-style pizza characterized by a thick crust and caramelized cheese edges. The style is strongly associated with Detroit's local food culture and has been widely imitated by other pizzerias. The claim of invention is commonly attributed to Buddy's and is part of the city's culinary history.
