Pizzerias hold a special place in cities across America, serving as more than just spots to grab a quick bite. They are beloved community hubs where friends gather, families celebrate, and countless memories are made over shared slices. With their unique blends of tradition and innovation, pizzerias have become iconic landmarks, cherished by locals and visitors alike from urban centers to suburban streets.

Vine Pair dove into the fact that in America pizza is a serious subject. People get pretty intense when discussing their favorite spot to grab a pie. "With so much consumed every year — and so many regions having a style to call their own — it isn’t rare for devotees to debate which local joint is superior", they said. 

With that type of hype and commitment, Vine Pair decided to create a list of The Highest-Rated Pizzeria in Each State. Concentrating on those major city establishments, they relied on the consumers and tapped into Yelp for the stats.

When it comes to Michigan, Vine Pair honed in on Detroit, because after all, there is a pizza style named after the Motor City. With that being said, it is probably no surprise that the highest-rated pizzeria is none other than the legendary Buddy's Pizza.

The historic Detroit chain is responsible for creating Motor City’s namesake pizza style, and started its legacy in 1946 on Detroit’s eastside. It was then that  Gus Guerra and the team made their first square-shaped pizza and the Detroit Style was born. Now there are 16 restaurant locations along with 6 take-out spots to satisfy pizza lovers all over Michigan.

Have you tried Buddy’s Pizza? If not, next time you're in Detroit, make sure to stop by Buddy’s Pizza and experience why it’s the highest-rated pizzeria in Michigan. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you!
