Buddy's Harbor

Buddy's Harbor is a lakeside resort on Lake Ozark that combines cabins, boat rentals, a marina and store, and a bar serving wood-fired artisan pizzas. The Pizzeria & Lounge is the part most visitors come for, with handcrafted pizzas, a full bar, a pool table and music in a cozy setting. When the dough runs out, the pizzas are done for the day.

The pizzeria doesn't take reservations or offer table service. Guests order at the bar and food and drinks are brought to wherever they settle. The lounge is open Thursday through Sunday from 2 PM. The resort is on Susan Road near Mile Marker 2, at the southwest end of McCoy Cove, and is run by a French-trained chef who owns the business.
