Hudson & Packard
29 Academy Street, Poughkeepsie
When you think of Detroit, the cuisine is probably not the first thing that comes to mind, but the Motor City
does have its own signature style of pizza. Detroit pies are not pies at all, but rectangles with a thick, chewy, crispy crust. Shelve your New York skepticism for a moment and head to the newly opened Hudson & Packard in Poughkeepsie, where you may be surprised by the deep-dish gooey goodness chef-owner Charlie Webb is serving up. In 2019, the Michigan native and CIA alum launched the Hudson & Packard brand as a weekly pop-up based out of the Underwear Factory. This past October, he opened his brick-and-mortar, where his Detroit style combines with the elevated palate of his culinary training. Pick from selections like the Ford Funghi, a blend of roasted cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, caramelized onions; goat cheese, truffle oil, and lemon zest ($18); or the S-Class with roasted garlic Parmesan cream sauce, fresh baby spinach, artichokes, and banana peppers ($17). Hudson & Packard is open for takeout and delivery via GrubHub.
