Dovetail Pizza is coming to South First Street in mid-November. The restaurant, owned by a group of friends in the Austin hospitality industry, will be a family-friendly eatery with pizza, pasta, salad and a full bar. Dovetail will offer a mix of traditional and unique pies, and instead of Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes to top them off, it will offer a housemade chile crisp and a green herb sauce for drizzling.

“The idea for Dovetail Pizza stemmed from a desire to create a place that we would all personally enjoy and could easily go to for a weekly dinner, hang with some friends on the weekend or just grab a drink after work,” co-owner Ben Runkle said.

Dovetail has indoor seating, an outdoor patio and a reading nook for kids.

Dovetail Pizza will be located at 1816 S. First St. Austin. Instagram: @dovetailpizza
