We walk in to a feeling of an historic building or business with a huge antique doorway and oversized windows. The business itself is pretty hopping with handmade pizzas and dessert pies. We had heard the pies here were great so we wanted to find out. I had a slice of the pecan pie. It was incredibly fresh, made this morning. Even the pecans were fresh, you can tell because they still had that snap to them, not soft with age. The serving size was also very generous. Yea this pie is definitely worth the stop. The Mrs had the same experience with the Marion berry pie. The fruit filling was made from fresh and the crust was an amazing creation. 5 stars for the service and attention to the customers by the waiter. read more

We went for dessert pie, but everything that came out of the kitchen looked great- the pizza, the salads- oh, I was jealous. The busboy was amazing- hardworking, focused, on top of everything- cleaning up right after guests leave. Really impressed. The lady behind the counter was friendly and helpful. The dessert pies were baked that day. The pecan and Marionberry were exquisite- from crust to filling- fantastic! There are many wooden tables and chairs including window counter and stools. Clean and comfortable. Overall -Great place- well done! read more

Grrreat food. Wonderful soups & pies especially. You gotta try it. Tim's an incredible baker.

Probably the best pizza in town amazing The salads are great as well and the desserts are to die for. Please don't get the owner confused with the cranky old woman that used to work there. Thank goodness she got on her broom and flew away. The owner is very nice and always is pleasant and respectful read more

Pizza is good but the lady who runs it is a crabby woman. She flat REFUSED to sell me 5 pizzas. 4 is the limit. Very stern and nasty.

Fantastic Caesar salad with pizza. Excellent service and friendly staff. We'll be back. read more

Ignored me. No greeting, no eye contact, no service. I felt completely unwelcome there. Too bad, I heard the soup is outstanding.

Fantastic bottom of hill pizza goodness!!! Get in early, and enjoy a delicious pizza!!! Bubbly crust, with the perfect amount of browned bits, quality ingredients and just deliciousness. Also split the house salad and the dressing was so fresh and loved the pickled red peppers with the cucumbers, and fresh greens. I haven't had a pizza this good since NY three weeks ago. Now I mention NY, and although I also love the NY "fold it" crust, I personally prefer a bit sturdier crust BUT still with that chewy texture plus the bubbly brown crust. It was so delicious!!! Highly recommend!!! Also got a piece of berry pie to go, also amazing!! It's a small place with lots of locals coming in for pick up, so plan accordingly. Also have seen comments about the Asian woman who runs the counter...I assume she owns the place....she was lovely!!! I only wish that I would have taken a photo of the cook who was helping take pizzas out to patrons, both inside and outside. He left a flour footprint trail as he helped. Love this place!!!! read more

It's a shame to see that this place has a rating under 4. As one of the only places in town to get edible food it deserves better. The pizza is great, the salads and soups are as well. read more

Cozy little pizza place with pleasant service. We had a pizza and two Caesar salads. That pizza was perfectly cooked, great crust. The salads were delicious and we could have just shared one salad. Highly recommend! read more

Hillbottom Pie - Italian sausage pizza!! - Pizza Near Me - Port Townsend, Washington

As a walk in, we were surprised to pay and be offered a minimum 18% tip on the machine. No table, no drinks, we're tipping you to hand us pizza. Even worse, we get to our hotels & the pizza is burned. It ruins the flavor of the pizza completely. Zero care or quality here, but they're ready for a tip. read more

Everything I have ordered here is excellent, especially their pizzas (num!), their clam chowder (the best in town) and salads! They work very hard to please the customers, and they're my go-to lunch place. read more

The owner was HORRIBLE to us. We came in at 6:50 PM on a Friday night and she was beyond rude to us. Told us we could only order to go because they were closing at 7:30, which would have been fine, except she was extremely rude. I watched as my husband was treated like crap, only to realize later we would only be staying long enough to get the order to go. We sat there waiting for our order until 7:15 pm. The people who ordered behind us were not told the same thing and we watched them enjoy their meal before us. My husband is the nicest guy you could ever meet. I am so baffled and angry by how he was treated. Only go here if you want to be treated like crap and that you are less than human. The owner is beyond rude. I grew up in the restaurant business, never in a million years would we have treated someone the way we were treated. It was so shocking as there was no reason to be so rude to us. We walked in, one of sat down to hold a table while the other walked up to place an order. This is the 4th time we have been here and it has been a place where we were happy to bring friends. We will NEVER return. read more

Excellent pizza! I had a cheese pizza with olives, sausage, and mushrooms. Everything was fresh and the crust was amazing. I also had a slice of berry pie that was perfection. read more

Walked in at 2:50 and owner denied us service and lied saying they were closing soon. I called and asked if they were open later on, and she said yes. She said they deny customers if they are backed up. It wasn't even busy in there. Obviously based off of other reviews the owner lacks customer service skills. Never experienced that so wanted to leave a review read more

We hadn't planned on dinner in PT but the weather was so nice, we delayed our departure. Where to eat knowing it was Saturday night and no reservation. Yelp pointed us to Hillbottom. The place was full but there was 2 person table that could squeeze the 3 of us. A very nice couple swapped their table for a seat at the counter and we added a chair. Then it went downhill. The waitress came by and snarled "move your chair! I need room to work!!". There wasn't a hospitable tone from her. The table next said they were waiting an hour for their pizza and had a similar interaction. Add those 2 things and we left to go elsewhere. It had been a wonderful day and we did not want to end it at downhill pies. read more

Always the yummiest food. Pizza and soups .. great people own this eatery and it's great atmosphere

We rolled into Port Townsend STARVING and happened to find a spot right outside Hillbottom Pie. My dining compatriots - a vegetarian teenager and 10 year with an expanding palate - were happy with the promises of pizza and soup that were prominently advertised on Hillbottom's windows. I was very hesitant to eat there once we entered because it didn't have 1) the aesthetic for our vacation vibes or 2) any tables available 3) a rather cantankerous woman telling people in line she couldn't hear to take orders (people seemed to be having pleasant conversation, as one does as they wait to order lunch with friends - I didnt see the issue, but maybe there was an underlying issue - in which case a sign or heads up would have been more pleasant than her frustration). The lady in line behind me assured me that this place was fantastic, she takes a ferry from Whidbey weekly specifically to eat here, and insisted we try the marionberry pie. As we were starving and there seemed to be selections to meet everyone's palate, we heeded the other customer's advice and stayed to Order. This is what we got: Green Salad - HUGE, fresh salad with a delightfully light vinaigrette; we easily split the salad three ways and my kids are pretty picky with their greens; both of them eating the salad bodes very well for the quality and preparation of the salad. margarita pizza: solid pizza, nothing spectacular, but good Bowl of clam chowder - large bowl served with two pieces of sourdough. Good clam chowder. Not too heavy, not a ton of clams though. Cup of lentil soup: also served with two pieces of sourdough (to the delight of the table); this was a vegetarian, maybe vegan lentil soup and really good. Perfectly spiced, with maybe a drizzle of olive oil on top? For sure the standout dish Marriorberry pie: super underwhelming, but in all honesty, we are not pie people. Tasted like jam on a crust. I've spent some time in the south and Midwest and have heard people wax eloquent about pie crust. Don't think this one inspired poetry, but it also wasn't offensive. Overall, a nice lunch that erred on the lighter side - always a good find on vacation. Other than the slice of pie, I found the prices to be very reasonable, especially for the quantity and quality of the food. We also enjoyed sitting outside and hearing the live music from the park across the street. read more

Nice place for some pizza and soup We went to the movie and Hilltop was a great place to eat and talk about the film read more

Get a slice or two of pie! The marionberry and strawberry rhubarb were delicious. It was quick and easy to go order.

We finally hit Port Townsend when HIllbottom Pie wasn't closed. They were only doing To Go orders, we had a Caesar Salad and a cup of the New England Clam Chowder, and again, we were not let down. The Prices were great on both menu items as well, especially for a tourist town. The salad was large, they did not skimp at all. The Chowder was really good, not the best I've had but it was up there. Now, what was the best I've had was the Margherita Pizza we back and ordered for dinner, a home run for sure. It has been years since we have enjoyed Hillbottom's pizza, and again we were super impressed, I had to stop myself at two pieces, which was difficult, but I wanted leftovers. So glad they were open this time. Thank you Hillbottom Pie for two wonderful meals. read more

On 5/21/22, I visited Hillbottom Pie. It's a favorite of the locals and one of the few restaurants that maintained a steady stream of business during the pandemic. Hillbottom Pie is known for their pizza, Caesar salad's, homemade soups, and pie. They are currently doing takeout only. I ordered a cup of Clam Chowder, which came with a perfectly toasted slice of homemade buttered bread. The chowder was very good. It was chock-full of chunks of goodness.I also got a slice of homemade Marionberry pie. The filling was pretty good, but the crust was too thick and not flaky enough for my preference. I liked the ratio of filling to crust. Neither the chowder, nor the pie were the best versions of these dishes that I've ever had, but both were very good. I think anyone ordering either of these would be very happy. Because I love homemade soup so much, I got a cup of their Cock-a-Leekie and Asparagus soup to go. I tried the Cock-a-Leekie. It was excellent. I didn't get to try the Asparagus before heading back home. I left all of it for Dad. Haven't heard what he thinks of it yet, but there is no doubt in my mind that it too is excellent. I will definitely be revisiting this restaurant. Next time I'm in town, I plan on getting one of each of the four soups, Caesar salad, pizza and pie. The only negative, and it comes up consistently in reviews, is that the female co-owner of the business is not very friendly. It's a little like that Seinfeld episode "The Soup Nazi." A strengths-based way to describe her behavior is brusk and efficient. Don't go here for the service, go here for the food. Trust me, you'll be happy you did. * My 4-star review is based solely on the food. I'm not going to ding the business based on the service. It's wonderful to have great food AND great service, but if I had to choose between great service or great food, I would choose great food every time. Highly Recommended!!! read more

Delicious pizza and pie! There were already a few people in line ahead of me prior to opening of the restaurant. Seems like a local favorite pizza place. Many people recommended getting their Caesar salad as the local favorite. As of September 2022, they are still take-out only. The dough was definitely my favorite part- just the right amount of fire. There was about a 20-25 minute for the pizza to be done so it was hot and fresh when I received it! Marion berry pie was also delicious and filled with sweet marion berrries. read more

It's the best pizza you'll ever have! I love the burnt edge of the crust which is very crunchy and flavorful. My personal favorite is the white pie plus mushrooms. They also have great soups with French bread and great salads. There is also a good selection of berry pies for after pizza for those who are total oinks. Gary read more

This little pizza place was very quaint and had an authentic feel to it. The four of us got right in on a Saturday afternoon in November. Our server was pleasant and attentive. We had the "white pizza" which was a very yummy olive oil and cheese pizza. The pizza crust was burnt on the top because of the wood fired oven I suppose. However, It did not take away from the taste. We'll probably be back later tonight for a bowl of clam chowder and maybe a little tiramisu read more

Incredible soups and pizza. Pies were the best I've had out, crust as good as our homemade!

Superior food! We had pesto pizza, veggie soup, and cold beer from the tap! Everything was perfect. The folks that run this place work their butts off. They make & serve a good selection of pizzas, soups, and pies. The environment is friendly and cozy! I make soups all the time, and now I have a new veggie version to aspire to. read more

Best fresh soups, salads, pizza and pie this side of the Mississippi ! It's a busy neighborhood favorite with early dinner hours. Worth your wait. Come early and often. I gotta reply to some negative comments about staff. This is an owner-operated small business whose people put in long hours to provide their art (delicious, nutritious food) to our beautiful community and its visitors. If you require prompt, ego-stroking service, despite a happy, but very busy kitchen and dining area, we have other restaurants you may prefer. You should also avoid eating out in New York! read more

We love this place! It's changed over the years, especially through Covid, but the food is still exceptional. I've never had a better Cesear salad. The dressing! The croutons! Every pie we've tried has been very, very good. The sausage is a particular favorite. And the soups! Try the spinach and mushroom. It never disappoints. The folks that run Hillbottom are kind and working hard to feel people fresh, delicious food. Also, pies for dessert are sublime. My favorite place to eat in Port Townsend, no question. read more

We had the sausage pizza and house salad, both above average and very good. Unlike a previous comment, the asian woman was busy and doing a good job, definitely part of our great experience. Looking forward to our next visit. read more
