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.
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!

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!

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.

My buddy brought me here, saying the pizza is great. We decided to split the softshell crab pizza which seemed a bit risky but man did they pull it off. It was way better than it had any right to be, and I'll never forget it. Truly impressed by that, plus the service was great and they've got great drink options.
