Buddy's Pizza in Detroit has teamed up with local barbecue shop, Slows Bar BQ, to launch the new Yardbird pizza and new BBQ Brisket pizza.
Both made in the signature Detroit pizza style – a rectangular pan pizza with a thick, crisp, chewy crust – the new Yardbird and BBQ Brisket pizzas provide a delicious new way to enjoy Slows' signature BBQ sauces. The Yardbird pizza takes its name from a sandwich of the same name over at Slows Bar BQ and features a delicious combination of pulled chicken, sauteed mushrooms, cheddar cheese, honey mustard barbecue sauce, bacon, and a drizzle of Slows apple BBQ sauce. On the other hand, the BBQ Brisket pizza features Wisconsin brick cheese, onions, chopped pickles, Slows' smoked beef brisket, and a drizzle of Slows Mary Ann BBQ sauce.
