You had us at fried chicken pie! Tucked away on Geer St., Hutchins Garage operates out of a converted garage space, serving delicious pizza with a variety of toppings. Hutchins garnered fanfare for both the New York-style round pizzas and the rectangular grandma-style options, so you should probably try both options. With a full bar, industrial atmosphere and ample patio seating, this is a great option for a dinner out before stopping for a drink nearby or attending a show at Motorco Music Hall just across the street. Pro tip: if you're hungry mid-way through a bottle of wine at LouElla next door, you're welcome to order a pie to go and bring it back to the wine bar.
This is not only my favorite pizza spot in Durham, but it's my favorite restaurant in Durham period. This is a spot I always take visitors from out of town because it hits every time and I mean, everyone likes pizza. My favorite pie is the Eggplant Alla Norma. So good. They also have a really great draft beer list and outside seating. 10/10 a quintessential Durham spot for me!

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!!!!

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.

We stopped by this pizza place yesterday and ordered two pizzas. The first one was a mushroom pizza, and we added some extra meat as a topping. The second was a beef stroganoff pizza, and we added some veggies instead. Both were amazing—we were super happy with them! Even our daughter ate a few slices, which is pretty rare.
I also got a cider, and my wife had a Kölsch—both were really good. The beer was great quality, and we really enjoyed it. Overall, we were super satisfied. As for the interior, it’s a pretty simple spot, kind of like a brewery-style pizzeria, but the quality was top-notch.

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.

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.

Great visit with group of 7. Tried several different appetizers and pizzas and everyone was happy and full. Service was prompt and building was clean and well taken care of no issues. Would recommend, the parking can be a little tricky but plenty available in area

Hutchins Garage doesn't sound like your typical Italian restaurant. I can say the Grandma Pizza was spectacular. We also shared the Burrata Salad. Burrata cheese was really good. I will return to Hutchins Garage.

Easily a 10/10 pizza spot in downtown Durham! Very easy to find, with convenient parking just up the road. The atmosphere gives off nostalgic, good vibes! It’s self-seating, and you handle everything through their QR code. I grabbed my own to-go box since I wanted to save some for the next day. A lot of people were choosing their to-go option as well (you can park out front if you’re picking up). Did I also forget to mention their pizzas can be made vegan-friendly? I got the hot honey pizza, and it was exceptional! My boyfriend and I have found our favorite pizza spot!
