Everyone in Pokey loves this place but here's the reality:

the salads are greasy and covered in a Crisco like substance (that to some is addictive). The tomato sauce is pretty much Spaghettio sauce so if you are a big Chef Boyardee fan, you will be pleased. The pizzas are little more than a baby step up from a frozen pizza and the cost is much too high for basically cafeteria quality faux Italian.

We went to Buddy's on a trip to Pocatello. It was nice to eat local. The place was packed on a Friday night, the servers were rushed, and it was quite loud. We ordered a salad, a whole salad instead of a half, and it was plenty for four people. We also got a pizza. It was huge and not what we're used to because the crust was really heavy. But it was very good left over. For two, you could definitely share a half salad and a small pizza and be satisfied. To sum it all up, our visit there was busy, loud, and the food was decent. If you're looking for a local experience then Buddy's is the place to go.
