Hutchins Garage

My favorite pizza place hands down! I love the thin crust pizzas here but you can also get a deep dish style if you ask. The hot honey pizza is amazing!!! They also offer seasonal pizzas and they’re typically pretty amazing as well. The vibe is relaxed and always pretty busy which is a reflection of their great food.

Good pizza, thin & crispy. We had margarita, spicy vodka, and hot honey. Order by QR code, soft drinks and to-go boxes are self-serve.

Amazing pizza and great service. Location was ideal for us since we had a concert right across the street at Motor Co. Not much parking at the location but there are parking garages around that are not too far.

The food here was incredible. I went with my cousin who was in town for the weekend and she said it was the best pizza she's had in ages, and I can agree 100%. The crust was thin and crispy, but had so much flavor it. We also got 2 salads, large enough to share each one, and very tasty for a salad, you won't be disappointed. My cousin got the margarita pizza and she enjoyed it, but it seemed to have more than the traditional amount of cheese was her only comment. I got the salsa Macha pizza, but with vegan cheese and it was delicious, quite possibly the best vegan pizza I've ever had. It was just the right amount of spicy, and the rest of the pizza balanced it out. We each had left over salad and pizza we took home, and when we had it later it was still very good, which can't be said about all food you take home to finish later. Will be going back and recommending this place to everyone who wants a great pizza.

Hutchins Garage does not disappoint. It serves delicious pizza every time we eat there. There pizzas are delicious, made with fresh ingredients. Their beer selection is great and their cocktails also are worth trying. The atmosphere is laid back. The friendly staff always make you feel welcome. Hutchins Garage is a hidden gem in Durham. The Detroit style pizza - only on Wednesdays is the BEST pizza!!! Highly recommend!!!!

probably one of the best pizzas i’ve had. it was the dough that really made this pizza great. super thin, yet the crust is well risen and airy. great crisp and toppings were equally as delicious. i recommend the grandma pie and the vodka pizza. their ranch is also delicious.the lamb birria pizza was still good but not as good as the other two. it’s all order through phone which is pretty nice. staff and atmosphere was great! would love to come back.

This pizza is DELICIOUS! My husband and I ordered the hot honey to split and we didn’t have any leftovers. The atmosphere is great! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We got there shortly after they opened and the pizza came out super quick! We will definitely be back!

Hutchins has really good pizza. The options were interesting and I enjoyed bother the fried chicken and short rib. Although we dined in, we ordered through an app which was convenient. The decor was nice as well.

This is a great place to grab a beer or a cocktail before heading to a show at Motorco!! Park once and head to dinner followed by a concert. They always have an interesting mix of beers on draft and if that's not for you they have a full bar and an interesting list of cocktails to choose from. Their pizza is always bomb! Get the Grandma's pizza and top it however you like! We always sit at the bar and get the best service!

Really not sure HOW this pizza place has such high ratings on Yelp- huge letdown for me. Ordered the spicy vodka pizza (with bacon instead of ham), and thought the entire pizza was a mess. Dripping in grease, with a pie crust SO thin you couldn't hold a slice without folding it in half. The dough was so thin it was actually see-through. Definitely would not return back, threw out 75% of the pizza. Wanted to like the place more than I did because they have a really cool outdoor area (and they're close to my apartment). $50 is too much for 2 pizzas that aren't incredible.

I'm a huge fan of Hutchins. Their pies are top 3 in the triangle if you like thin crust. Salads are very good and Sean will take care of your drinks. Food is always consistent and quickly served. Again don't mind the parking or the ordering process. It's all well worth it and should definitely be on your go to list.

Ordered a pepperoni pizza for takeout - delicious crispy thin crust that worked well with the sauce and toppings. Loved the fresh basil. Service was excellent and pizza was as ready a few minutes before promised! Would definitely recommend and next time I'll try one of their unique flavors.

Pizza served out a garage with both indoor and outdoor seating. It was also pretty packed so I'm glad we ordered our pies online and picked up. It took around 22 minutes to be ready. They have a bar too to sip while you wait. You do have to find parking on the street which may be hard around that area with all the bars but the walk isn't too bad. Sadly the grandma pie wasn't available and that's what we really came for. Instead we got a the vodka pie, hot honey pie, and margherita with half sausage and pepperoni. The vodka pie is not vodka at all. It tasted like there was no vodka sauce on it. Just more of a spicy cheese pizza because the peppers on it definitely had some heat to it. I also said no ham and sausage when ordering because it comes on that pie. If you can't take spicy food you might want to remove the fresno chilli. It was good but wish it had more vodka sauce. My boyfriend loved the hot honey pie and said it was great. He modified it as well and took off the ham but kept the pepperoni. He enjoyed it thoroughly. Unfortunately, they made the margherita half sausage and half pepperoni, instead of half sausage and pepperoni and half cheese like we asked so I wasn't able to eat it. My boyfriend wasn't a fan of this pie though. I would come back to try the brisket and hopefully have the grandma pie!

Came in without a reservation on a Saturday night and was promptly seated. Pizza was pretty good and came out quickly! Very small parking lot so may have to walk a little.

I was really excited to try HG after hearing from so many people that it was the "best pizza in Durham." It definitely has a great location downtown next to many fun spots, kind staff, has the convenience of takeout/delivery, and has many unique pizza combos. Despite all of these perks, it just wasn't for me. The crust is thin and most of it was burnt, and there was next to no sauce on the pizza. I will say the Fried Chicken Pizza was unique and definitely worth trying. While it may be somewhere i find myself on a night out downtown, I don't really see it as a place I would go frequently. While HG has a convenient location downtown next to many fun spots and has the option for takeout/delivery,

loved: fried chicken pizza, eggplant pizza, outdoor seating not my fave: QR menu ordering, polenta, brisket pizza (salty)

This spot was such a fun, good vibe with bistro lights (sucker for the lights!). We sat on the picnic table outside which fit a family of 7 perfectly. I love the inventive take on pizzas with cool toppings like fried chicken and brisket. I wish the fried chicken was crispier, but overall a solid slice of pizza. We ordered the Pilsner which was the perfect refreshing sip with the pizza. As my 8 year old niece, Bella says: Good food!Good employees!good vibes!good everything! Bathroom pretty!

Ambiance is laidback, great spot to unwind. During summer it does feel a bit warm inside but the ventilation helps. Food is fresh, you can tell in the ingredients. I also liked how we can order using our phones, it didn't make the service any less attentive. I recommend the hot honey pizza, it does have a spicy kick.

I come from California and when traveling I always look for good places to eat. A lot of my reviews are based off service and experience. The lady (i think she might have been the owner) was very friendly and helpful. She Told me about a local ice cream shop to try. The pizza was delicious and the Brussels sprouts were amazing. I also had the burial intertube if you're looking for something on the lighter side to drink. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

Finally visited here after several recommendations from friends, and I have to agree with them--this place really lives up to the hype! I enjoyed the creative toppings they offer and the slightly doughy texture. The brisket pizza had tenderly made brisket and a strong blue cheese profile--if you are a fan of potent cheese, this is for you. We were told to seat ourselves, and the service was really quick. It's a casual and fun spot, but not too loud--a great place to hang out with a small group of friends or relax in their outdoor space with a couple of beers (which they had quite some good local beer options on tap). I look forward to returning and trying more pizzas - maybe my favorite durham pizza by far!

Don't walk, run! This was the perfect spot for a solo date night on a Friday. I got there before the dinner rush so there was plenty of seating available. Even once the dinner rush started, there was still available seating. I ordered my pie at the bar, picked my table, and waited patiently. It was worth the, about 20 minute wait, because the pie was delicious. Eaten hot, it's a little droopy in the middle, but once it cooled it firmed to perfection. My only small gripe, a little too much oil. I forgot the name of my pie, but it was the spicy one hold the ham. All in all, great experience, very laid back environment, family friendly, I'd go back!

What a hidden gem! I've lived in Durham for 7 years and never knew this existed! We came here with some friends and split a bunch of pizzas. We started with the burrata app and it was so good! We tried the honey hot, peach and bacon, pepperoni, and kale and fennel pizzas. Everything was so good! I will say the things that said they had spicy items on it did have a bit of kick but all were very good. I love the QR ordering system where you place your order on the app and they bring the pizzas out to you instead of having a server take orders. Plenty of space inside and good outdoor areas. 10/10 will def be back!

Our favorite pizza spot in Durham so far. The chicken vodka pizza is soOoOo good. Overall a little pricy but worth it!

My absolute favorite pizza restaurant in all of Durham (and I've tried most if not all of the wood fired places here). The eggplant pizza and Nonnas are my go-tos. Pair it with a fresh salad and a beer and I could eat that meal every week. The garage is a unique and beautiful space, fun to take visitors. And the staff is always very friendly and prompt. This is our pizza staple and we've never had a bad slice here.

Hubby and I were visiting his brother and our sister in law in Durham. On a Saturday night, we were all craving pizza. We decided to check out Hutchins Garage. Yelp reviews and photos looked strong but it was even better than we expected! Ordering was easy using a QR code on the table. Our food and drinks came out very fast. We ordered a grandma's pie with sausage and a classic pepperoni. The grandma's pie was thinner than expected, good amount of crust without being bready. The sausage was so fresh and flavorful. The large slices of fresh mozzarella were delicious! The crust on the classic pepperoni was so thin and crispy without being crunchy and cracker like. The sauce was tangy and delicious. The cheese was absolute perfection. Good amount of pepperoni slices and tasty fresh basil. Both pizzas were phenomenal! I foresee us stopping in next time we're in Durham.

Pizza was as good as the reviews raved about. Service for takeout was prompt and professional. I would definitely return for more pizza in the future!

I have mixed reviews about this place. The food and ambiance, I totally give 4 or 5 stars. The pizza was really tasty and seemed like a cool place to hangout. However my issue was the service. I called in an order. When I picked it up, I paid at the bar and got some major attitude from the lady. I asked about disposable silverware since I ordered a pizza and a salad. But acted like I was bothering her and she said that they didn't have any. Very frustrating!

This is hands down the best pizza place in Durham. Kale & Fennel is the way to go, but the seasonal specials are always on point. Atmosphere is fantastic. Love the old punk images and old school garage feel.

The parking situation is HORRENDOUS ! I don't blame the restaurant for this but be forewarned to have LOTS of patience and time to find a parking spot. We were meeting people for a birthday celebration otherwise we would of never stayed and drove around and around and around to find a parking spot. We all sat at a table outside. They have a great ordering system where you scan a QR code and select your drinks and food and someone quite efficiently brings the items to your table. This works great. The polenta app that we had was quite good. I would of liked more spice. The pizza had great crust. We had the fried chicken pizza and a grandmas pepperoni. The chicken had absolutely NO taste to it at all. This pizza was to me quite bland. The grandmas was better. The sauce was better and the fresh basil that was sprinkled on it added a pop of flavor. We would never go back. The parking situation is ridiculous.

Good pizza, quick service and good bloody Mary's. we really enjoyed the classic pepperoni pizza with added mushrooms. Cheesy goodness. The fried chicken pizza wasn't our favorite though. The chicken was lacking in flavor and pretty dry. Sure, it looks good in pizza but it was just missing... something.

First off...WOW! This place has some of the best pizza I've ever had in NC. We got the Spicy Vodka & Grandma Pie, both were phenomenal & delicious Spicy Vodka: 8/10, really robust, love the flavor the variety of meat and chili bring out. I just wanted more vodka sauce on there, but that may be just a personal preference Grandma Pie: 10/10, the extra sauce and the crispy crust were delicious and flavorful. Highly recommend adding chili flakes on top and dipping it into the Greek Ranch they offer. The vibe inside the restaurant is very old school which I liked but is kind of loud with the music and people talking. Outside is nice as well with cool ambient lighting above, and as long as you can deal with some flies roaming around, you'll be okay.

This was really good and I would go back!! The seating was so nice. I love a patio!!!! It was really fun and there was lots of sun and shade. I love how you can just walk up and get free water. And the pizzas came very quickly. It was a convenient experience overall. Besides parking!!! Parking is tough. I also thought the pizzas were great. They are a little expensive but I think it's worth it. The crust is so crispy and chewy. And the sauce is flavorful. I want to go back and try to fried chicken pizza now that I know they make good pizzas!

Overall great experience at Hutchins Garage, especially with the Hot Honey pizza, which was incredible! The Fried Chicken pizza was decent, but couldn't quite compare. The ordering process was easy, done entirely through your phone, and the service was fast and friendly. We did run into a delay when ordering a second pizza--they seemed to have forgotten it, but it eventually came out and was delicious. The atmosphere is really cool, housed in a converted garage with both indoor and outdoor seating options. I needed almost an entire pizza to fill up. A heads-up: there's only a couple parking spots for pick up, the rest seems to be street parking.

From out of town, Laguna Beach CA, and we came to Hutchins as it was close to where we were visiting. Loved the place! Great ambience and the pizza was delicious. I had the pepperoni, which is my benchmark for good pizza, and it was fabulous. Everyone was nice and I loved the rock and roll feel to it. The service had some issues as it wasn't clear from a first time visitor, that the drinks were self serve as they are hidden, also the staff was nice but so busy didn't they have time to stop to help us, until after we resolved the issue as my pizza was served a lot later than my wife's because of a kitchen issue. I still loved it though and I would definitely be back!

So I have had 2 wonderful pizzas here in the past years which I loved, and then a few months back I ordered a margherita to go and got the worst salty, terribly-textured, burnt, yucky cheese pizza I've had in my whole life. So looks like quality or at least consistency / QC may have gone downhill. I have also seen a bit of a discrepancy in pizza sizes when you order in vs takeout - don't have a large enough sample size to know if that is always true.

I loved this place and went there weekly for years. I complained that their quality went down and they were always "out of basil". I asked that next time they alert me before I ordered (as I don't anctually like the pizza without basil) and was treated like a crazy person.

I've been to Hutchins Garage a few times now and it never fails to hit the spot! It can get pretty crowded around dinner time, so it usually takes me a while to find street parking and then get seated (it's seat yourself first come first serve, but if all tables are taken you'll have to wait in line for a table to open up). To order, you scan the QR code at the table and order from your phone! I love that the menu has a good variety of classic and unique flavors. This time we ordered the portabello and shiitake pizza as well as the mortadella pizza. They came out quickly considering how crowded it was! The pizzas were both thin with airy crusts, and each was big enough to feed 1.5-2 people. The mushroom pizza was decent but too soggy for my taste, probably because of the thinness of the pizza combined with all of the mushroom juices. I LOVED the mortadella though -- the baked mozzarella, pesto and arugula combo was so so good, but I wish they included more meat! This pizza was also on the soggy side, but not as bad as the mushroom pizza. I do wish the crust were a little breadier and more seasoned, but maybe that's just the style of pizza here. Overall, I love Hutchins Garage's pizza and its industrial vibe. Looking forward to warmer weather when I can sit at one of their outdoor tables and enjoy a delish pizza :)

Service we received was kinda weird... when two people ordered beer, our waiter mistakenly thought both drinks were for one person and rudely blurted out "you can't do that"... then realized he misunderstood the situation but didn't bother to apologize. Another waitress tossed the pizza on our table later and left without saying anything. As for the food, everyone in our party was disappointed by how bland our pizzas were. Mushroom had zero flavor (how is that even possible?) and sausage one was forgettable. Fried chicken had the most flavor out of our orders but I was not impressed by it. I wouldn't come back.

Drinks and food were sooo yummy and well priced. We got a pizza to share and the Brussels sprouts which were absolutely delicious and plenty of food for 2. It was loud and busy on a Friday night but seats freed up quickly, a super fun atmosphere, and wait staff were lovely and attentive. Will 100% be back ASAP.

This is a solid pizza spot when you want a more affordable fill than Pizzeria Torro. Great quality.

Visited The Child and her fiancé for thanksgiving and went out for some bowling and pizza. The Child suggested this place as it is laid back and has a self-serve ordering process. It also had indoor and outdoor seating in the event we wanted to limit Covid exposure. Her betrothed ordered a traditional pizza with meat toppings. We ordered the grandma pizza with sausage and garlic. I'm a crust person so I was in heaven. I make grandma pizzas all the time, but my crust is not as robust and flavorful as this one! The toppings and sauce ratio was perfect. The only quibble I have: they served whole cloves of garlic. There was a section to leave a note about your order, but I assumed the garlic would be chopped. I won't make that mistake next time. Looking forward to my next visit!

Such a neat space here at Hutchins Garage! Kinda bar, kinda pizza place, all the vibes. There's an expansive patio with some canopy covering, so there's a bit of relief on a hot day. There's plenty of seating inside as well! The decor in there is really fun and the bartender was very nice and attentive. We tried their Miller High Life with grapefruit juice and I enjoyed it! They do a great job with presentation on their drinks, which is always a plus. I really liked the pizza- the crust was crisped to perfection. The sauce and cheese was awesome, but I will say I was a little disappointed in the chicken. we ordered the fried chicken pizza and it didn't really seem fried to me. It reminded me of like a frozen to thawed grilled chicken. If they could get the chicken to match the quality of the rest of the ingredients, it would definitely earn that 5th star for me.

One of my favorite pizza places in Durham! Absolutely love their pizza. The margarita pizza ($12) was a great light pizza. The crust was crispy and paired perfectly with the cheese and sauce they used (chefs kiss). I also got their hazy IPA and it was a great beer to have with a pizza. Nice citrus tones perfect for a summer evening. The atmosphere is great, especially if you sit outside in the evening as the sun goes down so it's not too hot. The service was well coordinated as well. They will assign you a table (inside or outside) as you order so don't have to go find your own table. Overall, would recommend getting pizza here if you are in Durham. I will say they did not let us modify the pizza with additional ingredients when we ordered due to COVID. Just a note.

GREAT ATMOSPHERE - PERFECT SPOT FOR DINNER BEFORE A NIGHT OUT WITH FRIENDS OR A BIRTHDAY. Lots of pizza topping options and nothing tops the feeling of watching the waiters bring the pizzas out to your table. Best sensory experience. Delicious and fun cocktails + a great selection of beer and wine. The atmosphere is vibey and inviting, kinda does feel like an upscale garage turned trendy restaurant with plenty of seating and a laid-back vibe. There's great music, which adds to the atmosphere. It can get pretty busy on weekends, so it's a good idea to come early if you want to get a seat. But even if you have to wait a bit, it's definitely worth it for the food, drinks, and atmosphere. Have also ordered takeout when it's busy - a great option.

This is becoming my favorite restaurant in Durham. Every time I go, there are many delicious options to choose from. Pizzas are definitely on the expensive side, but I usually only eat half and have a yummy lunch for the next day. The staff are so nice. On the weekends, the wait for pizza can be about an hour but you are already usually seated and can order drinks while waiting. Any other night of the week is less busy and can find a seat instantly.

Delicious pizza - we got the vodka and the kale and sausage - both were very good and the hot honey drizzle really made it tasty! The service was attentive and ordering from the table made everything very easy!

Went there the other day with a hankering for some good pizza. Hutchins didn't disappoint. Food came out fast, and service was great - you scan a QR code and order from the table, so no traditional server to take your order. Pizzas were on point, and the corn bruschetta was tasty - a nice spin on regular bruschetta, and a good one at that. Of course, it was a beautiful day so having the doors open and being able to feel the breeze could not be beat.

Hutchins is one of our favorites. Great lowkey, casual spot that also feels like a nice place to go to on a Friday evening for dinner in the Geer Street area. The pizza menu is nice to explore-- with several different options. The mushroom one is probably our staple favorite. Between the two of us, we always order one extra pizza to try. Hutchins makes great crust with good flavor, so I end up eating it all. The wait is never too long for the food to be delivered to our table. Great restaurant addition to Durham!

Omg, where do I begin?! This was my first time trying Hutchin's and where have I been?! I got the Hot honey Pizza without the ham and it is slamming! I'm not really a fan of the big chains like Dominos or Papa John's and I've been craving hot honey pizza, and boy did Hutchin's not disappoint. Very flavorful, 10/10 recommend!

My favorite pizza in the area. Their classic and creative combinations of toppings are fantastic. The pizzas are flavorful and well seasoned, and the thin crust is crunchy and in perfect proportion to the amount of sauce and toppings on top. Pizza size wise, estimate about 0.75 of a pizza per person. To order ahead, go on their Facebook page to find their menu (it changes). Then call to place an order. It looks like they also currently have some outdoor tables for dine in, but those were pretty full last time I went. Can't wait to go back!

Dear General Manager, Your new chef, has ruined your pizza. As a former vocal supporter of your pizza, a full blooded Italian, and former resident of the pizza capitals of the United States. I can assure you, that whoever they are, they do not know what good dough is, what pizza crust is, or given their version of it, even what it is supposed to be. Your pizza used to be one of the best in Durham, only surpassed by Toro in my opinion. But this version, is not good, at all. Please ask your chef to learn how to make dough and then to make dough worthy of pizza crust, both are an art form your business used to master. Dough is everything. And this chefs version is nothing. The grandma used to be thick and fluffy how good Roman pizza is, which was once my favorites, now tastes like low grade, dense, flat, flavorless frozen school pizza. And don't get me started about the sauce. This is definitely not made with San Marzano tomatoes. It taste like it is out of a jar, one that has been sitting on t eh grocery store shelf for quite some time. If the chef is trying to make their own sauce, they clearly do not know how to make it, it is all salt and way too much of it, and acidic tomato, with no taste of TOMATOES, a clear sign of someone who doesn't know how the hell to make tomato sauce. It tastes and feels like you have gone cheap on the cheese. This is not Italian mozzarella, the taste reminds me of 100% store bought in a plastic package next to the Kraft American singles level of cheese. I can see looking to save here and there on ingredients to cut back on costs, but your chef has ripped the heart and soul out of your product to make it less then store bought crap. The more I try to eat it the more I realize it qualifies as nothing more than garbage. Which is where my $20 for this pie is going, because this is not edible. I swear and i promise, "Grandma", is rolling over in her grave. Please make the change to your kitchen before we see another great Durham restaurant and institution fall to the wayside with the fast coming expansion! Your staff as always were excellent and understanding of all of our frustrations. As we sat at the bar 2 long time customers also came up to complain about how bad the pizza was compared to what it used to be. And as much as we could see the staff trying to protect the product and the kitchen staff, their frustration and agreement with said product compared to what it once was, was almost impossible for them to hide. Many thanks, LITERALLY EVERYONE

We split a grandma pie. Half of it was chicken. I'm spoiled when it comes to pizza. I'm from NY, worked in a pizza shop part time for many years, had friends with pizza shops, etc. Despite being out of NY for 6 years, I haven't lowered the bar. I don't rate my pizza by the area I'm in. So about this pizza: crust was good but my personal preference is a little different. Sauce, spices and cheese were solid. I was with my brother in-law. He's been in NC 2 years and he said it's the best pizza he's had since he moved. I live in Florida now and this is the 1st time I had pizza in NC, but I've been here a few times. Next time I'm going to try the vodka pie.

Love old buildings that have been repurposed!! We ordered three pizzas: Traditional pepperoni, Grandma's pizza, and the Vodka pizza. They were all excellent, and HUGE! The food and the service were great!!! Will definitely be back.

Great pizza and people! Really good. Close to everything. We got the hot honey pepperoni pizza, it was amazing.

Previously loved the vibe and probably the best pizza around. The service is awful though. Ordered 2 pizzas online and my partner went in to pick up the pizza but they charged her card on arrival so we paid twice. When she got back in the car and we realized we were charged twice. we went back inside to cancel the credit card charge and the manager said that was our problem and we need to bring it up with our credit card company because they would not cancel the charge. Possibly the worst response I've gotten from a service venue when they made a mistake, refused to fix it, and expected it to be on us. We cancelled the credit card to make sure it wasn't charged and will never go back there thanks to this experience

Pretty good pizza. Nothing amazing, but not bad either. The mushroom pizza is my favorite- but definitely needs some salt.

Ordered twice from hutchins. solid pizza and decent price. They have the most updated menus on facebook from what I can tell. Definitely recommend it!
