Even zoo animals like Buddy’s Pizza.

In honor of National Detroit-Style Pizza Day, Buddy’s Pizza hit up the Detroit Zoo to give the animals a special treat. Polar bears, wolves, and grizzlies were all treated to lunch from the originator of Detroit-style pizza. (The pies were made animal-friendly, so don’t worry about the ingredients hurting the furry guys. )

National Detroit-Style Pizza Day is June 23. Buddy’s will also be donating $1 from every pizza sold to 22 locations of the Salvation Army.
