Wow... somebody at this place knows what they are doing!!! We ordered a veggie pizza, house salad, and a vegetable soup. At first I though the pizza was too charred but noticed the amount vegetables and it needed the extra heat to perfectly cook. The salad was just great quality ingredients. The soup was probably the best vegetable soup we have had and it was perfectly seasoned. read more

Had dinner other night with friends. The house salad was fabulous. Taste and presentation first class. Highly recommend the pesto pizza with goat cheese. Topped off with Marionberry pie. Excellent! read more

This was our first time here and the pizza was really good. We are fans of wood fired pizza and this place did not disappoint. Would encourage you to try the Cock-a-Leekie soup as well .. stupid good! read more

I meant to post a picture but I ate the food too fast. I had soup and house salad, both were amazing! When I saw that the salad dressing had dijon in it I was worried that it would have a slight mustard taste but it did not, instead it was simply delicious. The chicken leek soup was the perfect combination of flavors...I should have ordered a bowl but then I would not have been able to have pie. The very best pie crust I have ever had. My husband and I shared a piece of marionberry pie, he ordered it al a mode. In my opinion, ice cream is not necessary, the pie is excellent without the distraction of the ice cream. If you are looking for tasty simple food, give this place a try. read more

Solid place to eat! Came here for dinner after a long day of work. The pizza I got was PIPING HOT. It was good, but maybe not so hot that I burn the roof of my mouth next time...? I also got a pie, though. Ohhhhhh that pie. I'm a crust kinda girl and the crust was perfectly buttery and flaky and the filling was perfectly sweetened and spiced! Service was super nice also. I was surprised to find that their receipts don't have a place to add tip, so make sure to bring some cash with you!!! :) read more

List of amazing foods here: Mulligatawny (curry & rice soup), clam chowder, pesto pizza, Caesar salad, Affogato (espresso & ice cream), pecan pie w/REAL whipped cream. Phenomenal food! read more

Hillbottom Pie - Affogato and Pecan Pie - super YUM - Pizza Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

It's probably a little skewed to say 5 stars because we rolled in starving. But the Caesar salad along probably rated five stars. It was fantastic. I will say I was dying for a fountain Diet Coke and they didn't have that but I survived. ;) I tried a cream soda instead. They do have a good selection of beers. I was frankly so dehydrated and tired that wasn't a good idea. But back to the food. We ordered the large salad and then we each got a pizza. The waitress kind of side eyed us and asked if we were sure. Lol I said we weren't sharing! Truth is that the artichoke and pesto I picked wasn't coming near my husband's mouth. Ha. He got a meat option that was also awesome. But I have no regrets about sticking to my guns and getting my own. It was great. The crust is on the thinner side, which I like. And we destroyed the salad even though it was huge. I would make a trip back to Port Townsend for that salad. True story. read more

This was stop 3 on an over night trip/dubbed the pizza tour of PT. It may have been last, but my man and I agree it is NUMBER ONE. We just love this more true Italian type of crust, and the toppings are great. (In Seattle we love Tutta Bella if that helps. Neopolitan pizza in wood fired ovens.) I had blueberry pie a la mode, and YUM is all I can say. Not to mention they are very generous with their pie. Add cafe Vita, and I'm a happy camper. Will defo return. I see some complaints about service? Either we caught her on a better day, or...I don't know. Our service was just fine. Perhaps the gal isn't the warmest waitress ever, but wouldn't have said she was rude, though. read more

Came in for the clam chowder. Smaller place. Staff was friendly and quick to help you. The place was clean and the food excellent.

Outstanding food, service and ambiance. What more do you want? Intrigued by earlier reviews, arrived with friends expecting a good lunch and spotty service. In fact, one review described the hostess they had encountered as a sort of "Seating Nazi" (No seat for you!). We met Michelle (the hostess in question) and were delighted to meet a very gracious and warm person. We ordered clam chowder (delicious) and two pizzas, one Italian sausage and one Margherita. Plenty of food for four. The sourdough bread accompanying the chowder was incredible. I would have bought a loaf to take home if they sold it there. Although I like olives a lot, including Kalamata, the amount on the Italian Sausage pizza overwhelmed the sausage flavor a bit. This a case where less would be more, in my opinion. The waitperson who served our table was friendly, efficient and timely. As if we needed it, we shared a piece of Marionberry pie, hot out of the oven, a la mode. With no exaggeration the best pie I have ever had. The vanilla ice cream was, on its own, remarkably delicious. Hillbottom Pie is a must try while in Port Townsend. I will visit again without question the next time I am in town. My wife and friends feel the same way. read more

Caesar salad was amazing - homemade dressing, garlicky croutons, crispy romaine! Freaking delicious pizza! Crispy, thin crust, fresh toppings, spicy and flavorful! Try the pesto and the roasted veggie pizza! Local brews, Seattle Cider. The service was fabulous - attentive but not irritating, knowledgeable and helpful. We'll be back for sure! read more

Great food. Service not as good. Waitress not very friendly, not very accommodating. Had tomato soup, pasta fagioli, pizza. Delicious soup & gourmet pizza. Slightly pricey. read more

My favorite pizza in PT (especially the burnt bits on the crusty edge!) Along with a salad and affogato for desert to share with my husband, I'm happy! read more

If you have a large party, 8 or more, don't waste your time! From the time we walked in, no one acknowledg ed us. When she finally did, she didn't even bother to put tables together for our party. She was actually going to place us on opposite sides of the restaurant! All she had to do was join the two tables. So when we asked if we could sit at the bar and table, she said we can only put 3 people up there which wouldn't have fit our party. And then she walked away! We felt we weren't welcome and will never go back! read more

Husband and I stopped in for lunch one day. Enjoyed it so much we returned the same evening for dinner. Lunch was simple enough... We each ordered a different soup.,.. Hard to pick out favorite as each was as delicious as the other....... Also enjoyed a slice of the best strawberry rhubarb pie in the north west..,. The crust makes this pie stand out. After seeing table after table order the very special pizza.... We decided to return that evening to try it for ourselves. After sipping on a bad or two was ordered the fresh grilled veggie pizza. The crust is like no other.... The toppings are generous and most delicious.... These pizzas are hand crafted works of art.. I must mention the Pelican Cream ale...a must if you like beer. Service and staff were all top notch.......Anything you order will be fresh and delicious.. read more

Food was good, but nothing special, with a location on a side street slightly hard to spot. Only issue was one night 4 of us came in after a movie, and they wouldn't let us move a table together so we could all eat together on the theory that it was too hard for a waitress to serve us. The place wasn't crowded at all, and had a number of empty tables, just not a place open to seat four - there was no way that a waitress couldn't have walked around a large table to serve us. Edits: Quirky operation, although the food is good, so my opinion of the food is higher than my original review. On one visit we arrived for dinner at 5:10 and were told they can't start pizza orders [a large part of the menu] until 5:30 because that is when the oven gets hot enough. On another, again an early dinner arrival, one of the two pies on the specials board [and the one that several of us were there for] wasn't available that evening. Overall opinion, it helps if you are a local, patient with the system, or ready to go elsewhere if there is an issue and aren't committed to this restaurant. After four visits, the quirkiness seems systemic. When we have eaten there, the food we ordered has been good and consistent. read more

In short, my favorite place to eat in Port Townsend. I have noticed a couple reviews about the staff. I can tell you I have never had that experience. The staff has always been friendly and conversational. I have always felt welcome coming here. Food is undeniably great. Love the pizza (really my type of crust). The salads are yummy and they are famous for their soups and desert. Apple and pecan pie are amazing! And if you happen to hit the day with the mulligatawny soup, don't pass it up! It's phenomenal and not always available. Word gets around! read more

Thanks for a great meal & friendly service last night! The 2 of us shared 3 dishes - the decadent but not too creamy clam chowder, the perfectly thin crusted pizza with (local Washingtonian) Italian Sausage and the very berry-licious Marionberry pie served warm a la mode. Even our beverage pairings of Chuckanut Pilsner and the House Chianti were delicious!! We'll be back on our next visit to Port Townsend! read more

Loved this place! It was swamped when we walked in so the service was a tad lacking at first, but quickly got better. We tried a little bit of each thing they offer; soup, salad, pizza, and dessert. We had the clam chowder and I was super impressed, it was creamy, flavorful, and FULL of clams. The bread they serve with it was divine - had to stop myself from eating it all. The Caesar came quickly and I loved it. It's a classic caeser, really garlicky with crunchy romaine. We ordered the pesto pizza and Christ that was good! The fresh basil pesto combined with gooey mozz and goat cheese, artichoke hearts and roasted red was perfect. I also thought the crust was going to be dense, but it was almost fluffy it's so airy. Finally the tiramisu- just the best! That's it. A huge portion smothered in fresh whipped cream and shaved chocolate. Even with ALL that whipped cream, you could still taste the delicious espresso soaked lady fingers. Can't wait to go back next time we visit Port Townsend. read more

Delicious to say the least, one of my top ten pizza experiences. We started with the asparagus soup, perfectly complimented by toasted bread. The fresh green organic salad appeared just picked. Even though we had the basic margarita pie, the dollops of almond pesto added to the already delicious-ness in front of us.. And last but not least..marionberry pie..yum all the way around... read more

SCRATCH (as in food is from scratch - except the local bread). This place is terrific. Wonderful decor, great use of a very old building space. But that is nothing compared to the food. We started with a Large Caesar (repeat LARGE). Superb dressing (tastes homemade - great balance of anchovy paste, garlic, cheese, etc.); properly tossed - all leaves coated with dressing and freshly grated Parmesan, and Romaine pieces that weren't too small and not too big. Croutons: perfect. Next: Clam Chowder (New England, of course). Homemade with generous portions of clams & potatoes and flavor balance. Delicious. Next up: Pizza. Italian sausage, peppers (green and yellow) and replaced the olives with roasted garlic. Simply outstanding. The edge of crust bubbles a bit and can get crispy (the mark of a good dough). All in all: a remarkable gem in a quaint coastal town. read more

The rudest people I have come across in a service business. I ordered pie and asked for a glass of water for my dog. they told me they had no take out cups even though they were sitting right in front of me. I asked them if I could buy one of the cups and they begrudgingly said yes. I then asked if they could put some water in the cup and they said no and were very adamant that they were not going to give me any water for my dog. They were so rude they were almost hostile. A couple of other business owners locally told me that they were very well known for being extremely rude and unpleasant. DO NOT recommend supporting this business. read more

First time at Hillbottom Pie and loved it. Amazing soups and pies. Lively atmosphere and welcoming. Wii be back!!!

We loved the quaint atmosphere. We saw some poor reviews for service but we were happy with the waitress and the owner who was waiting on people. The wood fired pizza was good and others looked to be having good soup and salads. We took home pie for later and it was also good. We would definitely go back! read more

Everywhere you go in the world you will find places serving pizza. Some pizzas are better than others. And different places have different recipes, and interpretations, of pizza, and of customer service as well. Hillbottom pie has a novel approach to pizza - it's Burnt Pizza. Tonight we were presented with a roasted vegetable pizza that was badly burnt. The crust was burned - not browned, burnt black; and the most of vegetables were too. And their idea of customer service - When we brought this to the owners attention, he refused acknowledge there was a problem, let alone replace it. He told us that he probably should have told us when we ordered the pizza that they burn the edges in order to crisp the crust. (The edge was completely burned, like carbonized, and the underside or the crust wasn't crisped, it was burned too). It's obvious by our accents we're not local, but who on earth hasn't eaten pizza, and who would think it's supposed to be burned? What kind of restaurant serves burned food and tells you it's the way it is supposed to cooked? Too bad Yelp doesn't allow a rating of zero. read more

We are local peninsula residents who often come to Port Townsend. We wanted to try a good place for lunch and we found that place! Hillbottom has a great Ceasar and we enjoyed a Italian sausage pizza. I am giving a 5 star rating for the 'extras' we weren't expecting: perfect latte, and my boyfriend's beer was served in an icy mug. Great service, great local vibe, great food, great atmosphere. I can't wait to come back to try the homemade pie!! read more

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE. Obstinate is the word to describe the atrocious wait service people at this restaurant. If I had known how awful they were we never would have eaten there. Yup, it's true what others are saying ... you may like the food but why give your money to nasty, horrible people who have no time or patience to be decent to their own customers? If I could give this place zero stars I would. We want our money back from these losers!! read more

Such a cute little place. The soup and pizza here is glorious. Four stars because they don't have ranch.

We had a Cabernet with Roasted vegetable pizza! All veg!! Great options for vegetarians. However, one of the basic pizzas. Would have tasted better with little more salt and spice! One pizza was big enough to share for two and we were full before we finished the plate. The eggplants, mushrooms in the pizza were making it ooey-gooey. It would have been better without the eggplants. They had pretty good soup options too! read more

I had to fight back tears (oddly not joking) the salmon bisque was so amazing! Hands down the best soup I've ever had. I relived every magical moment of my childhood in the smell alone read more

This is home cooking at its finest. Soups with complex rich ingredients, pizza with thin crust and and thick fresh ingredients. Al is served in historic restored building in a town where shopping and eating are at a high standard. read more

Tim Roth is a truly talented chef. If you've had the good fortune to have had his glorious pastries when he & Mariko had the Tyler street Coffee House you know what I mean. Now he shares his extraordinary soups, salads & pizza & pies with the community. His soups are the best. I still miss his pastries but am thankful he is still cooking & sharing his talent with us. The service can be slow here but you just have to know this & expect not to be rushed. They are authentic & It's worth it. If you can't adapt to their pace of doing business it's best you go elsewhere. read more

What a gem! Love when cafes have small & focused menus. Had clam chowder which was amazing but I've the perfectly toasted bread! I'll be back to try other things. It was also clean- some places where you watch people cook are frightening but this place is pleasant. read more

Stopped by for Pie. They ran out. No big deal. Busy place. However, ask for tiramisu which they had. Would sell us a piece because they needed to save it for the dinning room because they were out of pie. Really. We were taking a piece of pie to go. Not taking a table. Wow! read more

My favorite place for homemade soup, pizza, and of course pie! Delicious, fresh ingredients, unique combinations, and five star service. As a local, and someone who not only grew up in a tourist town but have waited tables myself, I watch the small staff expertly juggle a packed place with amazing efficiency and kindness. It's frustrating to read negative reviews of people who refuse to understand that there is a method to packing a large amount of people comfortably in a small space while adhering to fire code regulations and allowing for everyone, not just their large party, to enjoy their visit to this fabulous restaurant! Incredible food and exemplary service, stop here if you can!! read more

Great little place with a simple menu. Staff was friendly and helpful. Had clam chowder and Caesar salad. The soup hit the spot on a cold rainy day. The Caesar was decent but was tossed with too much dressing for me. Other than that I enjoyed my experience. read more

Wonderful pizza and Caesar, extremely rude staff (especially Michelle). Seemed put out when we called to order, even more rude when we picked up our food. Wait time was almost 2 hours. read more

Order the chicken Cesar and share with one of the handmade wood fired pizzas or great clam chowder. It is in the same building as the Palace Hotel and close to all the galleries. As a foodie I appreciated the care of putting together a decent Cesar with the right amount of real Cesar dressing and small bite size easy to eat pieces of lettuce. Clam chowder has good flavor and not too thick. Pizza was clearly hand made crust. Nice job. Meal was very reasonably priced. read more

Walked in for lunch today and they were at capacity, always a good sign. Fortunately we were seated within a few minutes. We planned on just soup and salad but the pizza looked amazing. My wife and I ended up splitting a sausage pizza, small Cesar salad and a cup of butternut squash soup. I don't usually rave about soup or salad, but both were amazeballs. The sausage pizza was more live pizza with sausage, but still tops for the PNW. Super reasonable prices. With the rotating soup options, definitely worthy of a return trip! read more
