They just switched up how they make pizzas. Used to get buddy's every Friday. It was fine. Now? The cheese is water, grease just dripping everywhere. The crust is paper thin, due to the drenching of the grease. If I wipe my finger across the pizza, gently, the cheese moves with no hesitation. The grease running down my finger and dripping off it when I take my finger off the pizza.No more. I'm sorry, but pizza is supposed to be eaten. Not drank.There is now no mom n pop pizza places left in Linthicum. Papa John's it is.

I went here because he ratings were good. And I wanted to try a new pizza spot in the area. And this one is much closer to me than the one I normally go to. I called in to place my order and the lady on the phone wanted me to pay in advance since I’ve never been there. And there is no option to order online. So if they have a problem with people not picking up there food, that would probably solve the problem. I told her I was paying in cash so I guess she “let me slide”.So I went there immediately it’s 1.1 miles away from my house. When I got there I see them making a large pizza with the same toppings that I ordered. And put it in the oven. Problem number one is there are 2 people putting toppings on the pizza one has on gloves and one doesn’t. Then the lady that was just on the phone with her gloves put the rest of the toppings on the pizza. They put that pizza in the oven. They check on the large pizza in the oven a couple of times but don’t check on “my pizza” that I’m thinking must be in the other oven.I asked her if the large pizza was mine? She says yes. I told her I didn’t order a large pizza and now she is stressed out. She tried to convince me that I ordered a large pizza. Then went on the tell me it’s not that much difference in price. ??? Instead of offering me the large pizza for the small price she kept telling me it’s not that much price difference. I left and went to the one I sent you. I left there and went to Catina Mama Lucia

Buddy's used to be a great place. The staff is still very nice which is one of the reasons it pains me to write anything less than good. I also want to say that I get everything has went up these days...utilities and leasing prices are high. However when you make a decision to raise your prices, nothing really should change about your offerings. I was really hoping that the latest reviews were exaggerations, but unfortunately they are not. I'm really shocked because we go to a place in Arbutus on the weekends which is also owned by lovely Asian people. The sandwich and fries are roughly 12 bucks. My husband and I SPLIT that half sub as it is so chocked full of meat (no exaggeration to that either....it's falling on the foil when you are eating it!!) and I have actually put the fries away for another time....oh and by the way that price includes gravy for the fries! You used to get a fair amount of fries at Buddy's.....today, the bag was maybe 1/3 full-and we are talking a very small white bag. No included ketchup. I've never asked for it before, it was just in the bag. Today there was none. Medium soda was included. Price was $13.62 before my added tip. I love the people there, but the price is not worth basically a bread and veggie sandwich with very thin meat. If you look at my picture of the sub, you will see what I ate in the bottom of the picture. There was no meat left in the last three bites! I was really shocked when I watched the gal put on the three provolone cheese pieces, because they were not even close to an actual slice, not to mention that they were actually thin enough to see through!!!! Nope, as much as this pains me, I have to vote with my cash. This isn't like a downsized box of cereal or ice cream that we are all suffering through.....this is a meal. I can't do this. I will be going somewhere else or having lunch from home.

The prices here are high compared to what you get... 14$ for a combo with a small sub little meat and small fry and small cup that requires more money for a refill... the turkey club is a joke.. it looks great but there is little one piece of lunch meat turkey on it that is no exaggeration... find another deli

Buddy's has great food and service at a Great price. The people that work there are absolutely the nicest people. The pita bread is amazing.

DON’T GET THE PIZZA! DON’T GET THE PIZZA!! DON’T GET THE PIZZA!!!It maybe the worst pizza I’ve ever eaten. My fries were great, but the two pizzas (pepperoni and bacon cheeseburger) were rough.

They nail the fast-casual trifecta: tasty, quick, inexpensive. Definitely worth a visit ?

Pizza dough is undercooked and the taste bland. Go to Papa John’s or any other real pizza place this is not one. It is strictly a sandwich spot.

Looks like a little hole in the wall but looks can be deceiving. The food is always good and staff is friendly and courteous.

Person that answers needs to be replaced.Pizza is average
This place was great overall! Pleasant, kind service, the atmosphere was very nostalgic and well-kept in most places, with the exception of the front of the business. The food was above average for most! The fries were well seasoned and salty, and the pizza was very well cooked! But it also was quite bland, especially in the sauce region. But other than that, looks can be deceiving! I'd wholeheartedly recommend, and will be coming back!
