Auto Inn Pizza — a turn-key business and historic Main Street building, sold together.
Built in 1915 and designed by famed Bozeman architect Fred Wilson, this high-visibility property is a local landmark in the heart of Manhattan. Its wall of street-level windows and steady walk-in traffic have made it a year-round restaurant for years, currently operating as Auto Inn Pizza, open seven days a week.
The building offers 5,000 square feet on the main floor plus a 600-square-foot mezzanine ideal for private seating. Modern glass overhead garage doors open directly to the sidewalk, creating warm-weather outdoor seating that's become part of the neighborhood's character.
Inside, original wooden trusses and white brick walls give the lower-level showroom a tasteful modern industrial feel. The bar area greets guests at the entrance, designed for craft beer, cocktails, or coffee service. ADA-compliant bathrooms, a separate office with its own private 3/4 bathroom, and recently updated air conditioning round out the building's modern functionality.
The sale includes both the building and the business. Auto Inn Pizza comes turn-key with a fully equipped brick oven pizza kitchen, a complete commercial kitchen with prep area and walk-in cooler, a full beverage liquor license, and the equipment list available upon request. Continue the existing pizza concept or adapt the space to your own vision.
Manhattan's Main Street is the kind of place visitors stop for and locals come back to. Twenty-five minutes from Bozeman, with steady year-round traffic and the small-town feel that's becoming rare in Southwest Montana.
