History
Hudson & Packard specializes in authentic Detroit-style pizza, which is a rectangular pan pizza (somewhat shaped like Sicilian) with a thick crust that is described as crispy and chewy. Hudson & Packard first started as a pop-up business at the Poughkeepsie Underwear Factory in September 2019. By late 2020, they expanded by opening their current location at 29 Academy Street in Poughkeepsie.
Their Detroit-style pizza shop has become a huge hit with New Yorkers, as the location has become part of a revitalization in the area, that includes other businesses such as The Academy, Goodnight Kenny, and King Street Brewing Company.
