What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Hutchins Garage is highly praised for its exceptional pizzas, particularly the thin and crispy crusts and creative toppings. Diners also appreciate the laid-back atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, making it a popular spot for casual dining and gathering with friends. While generally positive, some reviews mention potential wait times when crowded and the self-serve aspect for drinks and to-go boxes.
"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."

"Great pizza. Not a whole lot more that needs to be said. Informal. Tons of outside seating which is nice when weather is good and not so nice when not. Have several parking spots for takeout if you go that route but otherwise have to find street parking. Service is friendly. Gets crowded and can be a little slow. Good salads 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."
