I lived in Lake Orion and worked in Auburn Hills several years ago. A few of us ladies made a once a week trip to get our fix of Buddies. Personally I took home extra for my son and then took him another day a week. Haven't found a better pizza, Caesar salad, meatballs anywhere. I was so happy when they moved to kazoo, now if only the Plainwell/Otsego area.

Parking: Never had trouble parking Auburn Hills or Kalamazoo.

The food wasn't very good most likely due to them being busy, It happens.The pizza wasn't hot, and the cheese tasted a little off, but the garlic bread was fire. The best part of dining here was our server Kay Kay. She did an amazing job at taking care of us. We didn't let her know we didn't enjoy the food, because they were so busy and I'm sure they did their best. All in all I will dine here again when not so busy.

Apparent negative changes noted slow service and sauce was tasteless

Seems newer isn't always better

Eight individuals two checks each check charged 20% gratuity without warning

It was not a pleasant experience

Very poor service
