Great place to take kids and those who are VEGAN! Yes, that's right! Hillside doesn't get all skimpy on the vegan cheese. My 7 yr old LOVES it. I love that I can also get a beer with my fancy pizza.Vegetarian options: I'm impressedParking: It's the brewery next to Yankee Candle so as long as it's not December the parking is a breeze.... honestly even in December it wasn't bad.Kid-friendliness: Oh the kids LOVE itWheelchair accessibility: I don't personally know but looked very accessible to me with ramps and stuff
Loved this pizza restaurant right on the site of Yankee Candle. After a long day of shopping, it was so convenient to be able to grab a bite to eat before we headed home. Loved all the board games and cards for the kids to play while we waited for our pizzas. Also loved all the beer and wine selections.
Went in for lunch, expecting to find a pizza place that offered beer. What we got was a small brewery that offered what seemed to be pre-made food. We ordered personal pizzas and wraps. The pizza was not cooked through, very doughy, and not much flavor. The wraps were a good size but also missing flavor. The garlic knots were also not cooked. I would recommend stopping in if you want a beer, but I would pass if you're looking for a good meal.

this review is for the 'pizza' place inside yankee candle/on same property as yankee candle factory store.we arrived just before 12 pm on a Saturday when there was hardly anyone there yet, which was nice.we used the bathroom (womens) and the first stall had zero tp. thank goodness I was in there so I could hand my family member some tp.I told the young adult working at the pizza place she said 'go tell the bartender, that's their responsibility'. (?) The customer service inside yankee candle compared to the restaurant was like night and day. When I told the bartender she looked exhausted and annoyed.The food was OK. I wish we drove down the street to another pizza shop. It was fresh but boring. The turkey 'gobbler' was just 'blah' I don't know how else to explain it. It was food.Once the place started getting busy, the 'trash' which was an empty black bucket on top of an actual trash can (?) was loaded. No idea why they don't have regular trash cans, lol.They also have all the silverware near the pizza shop, only. So, if you sit far away you have to walk across the entire restaurant to get napkins or knives which they don't give you any of when you pick up your food at the window. We had a family of 8 so we had to make several trips to get silverware napkins, etc. What a pain in the butt.Overall food was OK but they took the service right out of the word 'customer service'.

This Hillside pizza is located inside Yankee Candle. Prices are reasonable. We ordered Caesar chicken wrap which was lacking in flavor/bland. The chicken bacon pizza was okay. I like the thin crust but for some reason, it had a mild bitter aftertaste even if the crust is not burnt. If you’re not really hungry then find something else. But even if the food didn’t taste so good, the displays of beautiful merchandise and the smell of Christmassy scents made eating here so much better and the staff has excellent customer service.

Located right behind Yankee Candle, the building and great landscaping make it look like a continuation of Yankee Candle. Hillside Pizza is just a walk up and order and a buzzer system and there is plenty of seating in the attractive dining area. My personal size pepperoni pizza was very good, even better than I expected with a great crust. My wife liked her "Feeling Feta" salad with a good Balsamic Vinaigrette. Another positive is the Powder Hollow Brewery that occupies the same space offering about 8 beers and flights. Now that is a win win.
The location at Yankee Candle had been the Personnel Office for the Candle Company, then retail space, then a sit down upscale Chandler's Tavern, and now a Hillside Pizza with a separate Crown Brewing Company. We ordered at the counter, they took our cell phone #, and we chose a quiet table to wait for our text that the food was ready. The air conditioning was exquisitely cold on this humid 89 degree afternoon. The rain began and our pizza was ready quickly. The crust was thick and soft, with a crisp exterior. My half had pepperoni, and my wife's had onions. It was superb. I got Joe's Raspberry Tea to her Original Lemonade. We took half the pizza home. The rain had stopped. The car parked next to ours had Florida plate, and we had their weather here for them this Thursday afternoon. (Now we have to try Bernardston and Amherst locations.

This review is solely for the location in Yankee Candle Village. I thought I should mention that, as some of the other reviews seem somewhat creepy, and it looks like they have multiple locations. As mentioned, we visited the Yankee Candle location after shopping next door. Our son had a chicken bacon ranch pizza, and we both had turkey gobblers wraps. We all really enjoyed our food, and it was a decent portion for a reasonable price. You have to order at the counter and then go back and get your food when they text you. Not a big deal for us, but if that sort of thing bothers you, then you best skip dining here. I would definitely eat here again if in the area.
Food was good ?
