Hutchins Garage

"Got two pizzas. The grandma's pie was electric. Super crispy crust. There's really no service to speak of, but if you come here for the pie you won't be disappointed if you're comfortable ordering online independently."

"Overall Rating: 5.4/10 The food and experience were good enough but didn't wow me. It was alright, not something I'd rave about. Atmosphere / Service: 8.2/10 The restaurant's distinctive setting is engaging from the moment you see the building and continues as you sit down and take in your surroundings. Initially unclear on the self-service format, a staff member helpfully called out instructions for self-seating and using the QR code for menu and ordering. The process was unexpectedly smooth, despite a typical preference for in-person ordering. The limited menu options were a minor drawback. Food: Margherita Pizza: 5.1/10 The pizza, expected to be a standout given the sparse menu, was just adequate. It arrived quicker than anticipated, hinting at a possibly hastened baking process. The main detractor was the amount of grease, which was excessive, though the base was nicely crispy, and the cheese seemed to be good quality. Bean Dip / Chips: 5.9/10 This appetizer was a pleasant surprise, providing a tasty complement to the pizza. The chips were seasoned with a unique blend that was initially enjoyable but became too strong after several bites. 3 Pokegyms and 1 Pokestop which gave the place a nice added value for Pokemon Go users. Value: 5.8 / 10 Considering the overall experience, the value seems appropriate, and there's some interest in giving the pizza another try in the future to see if the experience gives a different result."

"I was fortunate to catch Hutchins Garage right before close while I was in Durham. A wicked pizza joint in an old auto shop, decorated with punk rock idols and hipster stuff. They carry a good number of local/state wide craft beers so I was happy to try one out. We ordered a Mortadella $14 - Italian Salume, fresh & aged mozzarella, roasted cherry tomatoes, topped with arugula and parmesan. - Everything was exactly what we hoped for and the crust was cooked perfectly. It was refreshing to have a light & earthy pizza paired with hefty pint before a night out!"

"Super cool spot. Repurposed an old garage as a pizza spot and it’s decorated in such a good way that something will catch your eyes on every wall. Pizza is fantastic and the staff were extremely kind and accommodating. Go try it!!!"

"One of the best places to have a well made pizza around Durham. So many great options to choose from as well. The ambience is wonderful both indoor and outdoor. This is a nice place to enjoy delicious pizza in a relaxing atmosphere."
