Kid Rock's popularity has leaped from the stage and music CDs to pizza crust.

Farmington Hills-based Buddy's Pizza announced Thursday that its shop on Six Mile Road in Detroit will start offering "Kid Rock's Badass Detroiter Pizza."

Buddy's spokeswoman Angela Hernandez says Kid Rock's "American Badass Beer" is added to the crust of its pepperoni and cheese Detroiter specialty pizza.

Buddy's owner Robert Jacobs says "it just doesn't get much more Detroit than Kid Rock" on the decision to create the new pizza.

Kid Rock was born Robert Ritchie. The singer and musician grew up in and lives in suburban Detroit.

The announcement came as part of Buddy's 65th anniversary celebration of the first square pizza. The City Council presented the company with a resolution.
