I want to start by saying the atmosphere here was very lovely. I would say it would make an amazing date night spot. Our waitress was super welcoming and ensured my friends and I were comfortable and had all we needed. We ordered a pizza that we shared and my other friend got the pasta. The pizza was super good and honestly a great size. The ingredients were very fresh and personally I loved that it wasn't overly saucy. Although I didn't try out the pasta it looked good and my friend had good things to say about it. Only downside is the pricing. This place is definitely on the higher end but I guess it's justifiable since the ingredients were so fresh. read more

I had been wanting to check this spot out for a while and it didn't disappoint! My buddies and I came in for dinner after a cocktail hour at the Equipment Room. We kept the party going with some delicious negronis and some cold craft beers. We ordered two pizzas: a pesto /chicken and a cacio e pepe pizza. Both were exceptional. Dare I say they reminded me of West Coast "Cal-Ital" in their light, crispy, yet chewy-gooey way. The fresh seasonal ingredients were the star of the show. Cal-Ital is one of the lost legit cuisines on the planet: so this is high praise! We really enjoyed the atmosphere. The service and the interior were inviting and awesome. This feels like a do-not-miss neighborhood eatery that's equally family friendly & festively hip. We had a great time/ meal. I highly recommend visiting Dovetail. read more

Everything was divine. We started with the fried green olives which were the highlight of the meal. So warm and tangy with a creamy yogurt sauce, it was the perfect way to start our meal. Then we ordered the short rib pizza which was so decadent and fresh. We added hot honey and would strongly suggest that addition. Everything was very filling and the leftovers were even better the next day. The service was attentive and warm and the ambiance was beautiful. Very clean and tidy. Overall, I really enjoyed my meal and would come again. read more

Absolutely loved the food at Dovetail! Popped in for a quick dinner before a show, and ordered the fried olives + the fresh mozzarella pizza with pepperoni added. The fried olives were served on a bed of honey; loved the salty and sweet combo of flavors! Super unique - highly recommend. The pizza was phenomenal! Drizzled with honey and balsamic vinaigrette, super fresh cheese and tasty bread. Very generous portion sizes too! We had a couple of beers with our meal and were happy campers. read more

They do pizza and it's done well. Pretty good pie. Crust holds up nicely, which I prefer. I didn't care for sauces they have on the side: chimichurri and the chili crisp. They didn't enhance the pizza to me and were boring. I would have preferred red chili flakes. Cheat code: 1/2 cheese pizza on Monday's. read more

My friend and I had the most amazing night here. The drinks were so delicious! I highly recommend the chai carajillo and the hibiscus margarita. Yum!!! Beyond that, the Brussels sprouts are just perfect and I would highly suggest getting them for an appetizer. The Gluten free pizza was so delicious!! The staff was so friendly and kind. 10/10 experience and I will definitely come back. read more

Although the food and service were really good; for some reason the restaurant inside was probably over 85 degrees and it was really uncomfortable to dine in there. Not sure if that day was a fluke because it was not acknowledged or addressed by the waitress but I would give this place a chance to go. read more

Really great, super amazing Caesar salad with the only appropriate amount of Parmesan ever.

Although Dovetail is a little on the expensive side, their food is absolutely out of this world. Their salads are divine and the pizza is top tier, with very unique and tasty toppings. I am gluten free and vegetarian, and their gluten free pizza is one of the best I've had in Austin. New York style, thin crust that you have to fold up to eat. They have an amazing array of sauces for dipping as well (I highly recommend the ricotta ranch). I have only over gotten delivery from Dovetail (which has always been a 10/10), but iI would not be surprised if the atmosphere is as good as the food. Definitely worth a try if you feel like a fancy pizza! read more

I had the most amazing lunch here! The place was beautiful, and I had the best gimlet I've ever had. It's also on happy hour ;)

Came across this spot doing a Yelp search on 1st street, didn't know about Dovetail but the pizza pics looked great so popped in there on a whim so we could have some fun. It can get busy here, and loud, but we found a place to sit. Went through the menu and we ordered the Calamari, Ricotta dip, and Pepperoni Pizza. So we've noticed a few trends here with the food we got. First thing is that looks can be deceiving. While the Calamari looked to be bountiful, this dish was actually filled with about 75% fried onions and 25% actual calamari, I think we got about 4-6 small calamari pieces overall. And for $16 - that's not good because fried onions are really cheap. We were very disappointed in this, the dish is also disguised with a lot of arugula on top of it. You see all the fried stuff and you're thinking - wow - good amount of calamari - but that is not the case. This was very disappointing and we won't get this again. The Ricotta looked great on the pics, it looks like a full blown cheese dip, but that's only on the top. Most of the Ricotta is filled with squash and veggie fillers, my friend said it just tasted like a squash plate and there wasn't much ricotta in it. The dish should be named Squash w/ Ricotta. Again - big letdown for us, very disappointing, we felt deceived after having these 2 dishes. The pepperoni pizza was pretty good. We liked the crust and the 2 sauces you could drizzle on it, overall it was pretty solid, so we do recommend their pizza. We thought about sharing the Gnocchi dish but based on the pics there are a lot of veggies and brussels sprouts on top and you don't see any gnocchi. We're not falling for that calamari disguise again so we skipped it. We were going to order a White Pizza to go - but we opted not to because we were so disappointed with the lack of calamari and ricotta, and the bill is now close to $60 for 3 items, so we didn't feel obligated or inclined to spend more. I think if we had a better experience with those dishes we would be more excited or incentivized to spend more money. But come on now - 4-6 small fried calamari and a ton of fried onions? The dish should be called Fried Onions complimented w/ a side of Calamari. Give the customer what they want - the value-add - a robust calamari dish please. The nice service, uplifting (yet loud) ambiance, and solid pepperoni pizza were what saved this review. It was really 2.5 stars but I rounded up to 3-stars, otherwise we're talking a 1-2 star experience here had the pizza bombed. But it didn't - so go check out their pizza. The salad selection looked great too so we may think about that next time, but to be honest we're not excited to rush back anytime soon. read more

They have longer than most things that have been in this building. I have been quite a few times and every time I find the pizza lacking. The drinks are really good. And I love the concept behind this place. I have not found the pizza that makes me want to come back. Services spot on. You're being asked if you need anything quite often but in a good way. Price is about average of what you expect. And I swear all I talk about is parking. But it's good here. I think one of the big advantages of coming here is that it put you in a great spot on South 1st Street. From here you've got lots of dessert options right at your fingertips. And it's a really pretty walk around the area. Come for the drinks, the atmosphere, and enjoy the neighborhood. read more

Overall a decent place to grab a pizza in South Austin. There's a nice patio to sit outside on when the weather allows. Staff is friendly and very helpful. The pizza is good, with flavorful and crispy crust. The topping were all delicious as well. My hang up was with the first courses that we received. The wedge salad did not seem to be super fresh and was extremely salty and heavy. The calamari barely had any calamari in it, as it was mostly fried onion. I'd return for the pizza alone. read more

Overall, it's a decent restaurant--nothing special, but we enjoyed our meal. We ordered the Caesar Salad with Chicken, Fried Calamari, and the Prime Rib Pizza. The Caesar Salad was good--just the right amount of dressing and Parmesan, and I loved the mushrooms in it. The calamari was okay, but the fried lemon and onion that came with it were a bit odd for my taste. I did like the generous amount of arugula, though. The Prime Rib Pizza was delicious but definitely not your typical pizza. It had a little kick, a generous amount of arugula, and Parmesan on top, which added great flavor. The meat was super tender, but the crust was a little too fatty for my taste. The service was great as well. We had requested a table with a sofa seat when making the reservation, and they made sure to accommodate us. It a nice spot for a casual dinner. Overall, I'd recommend it. read more

They are good for dinner, lots of vegetarian options. The wine list is great, I rec the Lambrusco at happy hour, which is before 5PM. It looks like a good spot for groups in town who want great food. Bring everyone and grab a dessert! The pizza is a MUST... any of them! Len went above and beyond and we will be coming back soon. read more

The pizza was just not good at all this most recent trip. It was greasy and overcooked. We got the fresh mozzarella pizza to try to avoid some grease to no avail. The crust was basically a cracker. The weird shape baked on a cookie sheet made for awkward piece selection with inconsistent sizes. The appetizer menu is so limited, no meatballs, no bread options. The calamari was mostly breading. The actual calamari was so rubbery I couldn't chew it. I will be trying somewhere else when my next pizza craving hits. read more

Delicious pizza, oval shaped, hip, and nice ambiance. it's just a little over-priced for pizza. Great drinks, with the offering of a full bar. we had numerous appetizers, and liked the fried olives the best, they are a different twist. read more

Not bad but a bit pricey for what it is imo. We got the calamari, a salad, and the smoked eggplant. Calamari was super interesting and delicious, also had fried artichoke as part of it. The smoked eggplant was meh, I was not a fan of the flavor tbh. Salad was great. We also got two pastas which were both just okay. Wouldn't get the spaghetti and meatballs again. It wasn't bad, it's just way too simple to cost that much. Got two pizzas, including the pork one which was great. Other one, forgot what it was, was not memorable. read more

Been wanting to come here for awhile and finally came with the girls on a Sunday at 4pm so we basically had the whole place to ourselves although I hear it gets super crowded. They have a parking lot in the back which is nice and convenient. The staff were super friendly and got our order right away. We started with the fried olives which were a delicious snack with a great dipping sauce. Then got the honey crisp salad which had some meats in it - also great and a good portion to share. Now for the key part - the pizza. We did a custom make with pepperoni and mushroom on half, and sausage and caramelized onions on the other half. The pizza was definitely good but just nothing amazing. They cut the pieces in really long pieces which is fine but then the people that get stuck with the end could basically just be eating dough so I don't really care for this concept. The tomato mozz pizza was super underwhelming. There are too many great pizza options but I'm glad I checked this place off the list! read more

Came here for lunch. We ordered off the lunch menu, I got the Salt&Time Italian sandwich, which was honestly exactly what I have been looking for in Austin, TX. Just a SOLID sandwich, the bread was perfectly toasted, and there was a perfect amount of meat, and filling for me to be full. I also got a side caesar salad, and it was perfectly seasoned. My only gripe was sitting outside there was no umbrellas or shade at the tables, unless you sat under the awning, which had pretty stale air. I know a minor complaint, but on any other day this would've been a 5 star rating. Really enjoyed the food here at Dovetail, will definitely be back! read more

Y'all this place is delicious. You totally have to go out there and order the pizza, whichever one, and definitely order the spaghetti and meatball. The place in there super cute and it's chill. You can go on a cute little date night or just to go eat in general. The staff is super friendly and they give you good recommendations as well. They just added the Barada to their menu, which was delicious and perfect for summer weather coming in. I got spread which is really good and refreshing make it very well. read more

Popped in to this new neighborhood pizza joint that replaced Mumtaz (). The layout of the space hasn't changed but a few mods to furniture with a few high tops and more warm wood tables. We started with a couple of drinks. An expresso martini and the highball. Drinks were well made and good. Moor food we went with a green salad and a calamari appetizer and a cheese pizza. Calamari. We liked the corn breading and it was a mix of calamari, dried lemons, onions and potatos(?) in the mid with a top of arugula and shredded parmesean on top with a lemon herb aioli dip. It was good but a bit skimpy on the calamari. Green salad. The salads here are HUGE. hefty portions of kale with raw broccoli and cucumber with pepita. Not loving chèvre we opted for some shredded mimolette cheese on top. Comes tossed with a green goddess sauce. Tasty salad. Pizza. It's oval and they cut it into skinny triangle slices (except the two ends which are crusty crescents). Comes with a little shredded parmesean on top. Pizza was very solid but didn't wow us. The table has both a crispy chili oil and a chimichurri sauce. The chimichurri is good but didn't quite work for us. We were fans of the crispy chili oil thiugh - good flavor and really low in heat (would have loved a bit more kick). Good start so far and we'll be back again to try a few things. Heard the spaghetti with one big meatball was good (the meats are local and come from (Salt and Time) read more

Came here on the day of the eclipse and it wasn't as busy as we thought it would be! They have parking in the back, a beautiful indoor and outdoor patio area! We sat outside bc it was so nice outside. For appetizers we got the calamari I was so excited it was gluten free bc my partner rarely gets to eat fried items! They were yummy! I got the eggplant Parmesan sandwich! It was really good and very filling as well! My bf got the gf pizza with pepperoni and mushroom! It was okay he was happy he could eat something but it was about $30 so probs wouldn't get again for the price etc read more

Dovetail Pizza - Gf crust - Pizza Near Me - Austin, Texas

If you go to Dovetail, you must try the Spaghetti & Meatball! It is SO SO fresh and flavorful. Not something I'd generally order, but I'll definitely be going back for more! Overall, Dovetail has a great ambience and vibe. There's surprisingly plenty of seating, but the restaurant is busy so plan ahead! The pizzas weren't my favorite in Austin, but they're still good, solid options. I'll go back to try more of their menu and to order a cocktail. I did try a bite of the gnocchi and wasn't a huge fan, but my friend said it grew on her as she ate more! read more

I think I had too high of expectations for this place. Everything wasn't bad but didn't blow me away. I wasn't impressed with the pizza and was on the chewier side than I prefer. I did like the size of the pepperoni though I liked that it was crispy. For the Caesar salad it was lightly dressed with a nice amount of cheese and these fun crispy on it, didn't prefer the mushrooms. I asked for hot honey on the side and I got a side of something that looked really dark almost mistook it for balsamic. The waitress told me it was hot honey. I would recommend others try this place out but I think you're paying more for the vibes than the food. I might come back to try the lunch menu sometime. read more

My wife and I stopped by for dinner around 6pm on a Tuesday...pretty empty...by 7pm nearly all the tables were taken. Service declined near the end as things picked up, but they appeared to be understaffed by then. The honeycrisp salad was very memorable--best thing we had--I'd order it everytime. The pepporoni pizza was just OK by comparison...good but a little bland. The atmosphere and vibe were really nice here--a little music would have completed things well, but it felt warm and clean and pretty with some nice plants about--well thought-out and the oudoor seating looked great too. An upscale feel, some nice beers available, my wife enjoyed her Aperol Spritz, and the wine list looked pretty serviceable. All in all, worth a return to try the pastas and such as those w the salads may just be the ticket here. read more

We selected a pizza with red sauce, cheese mushrooms. Garlic, and shallots. Omg. It was so so yum! So sorry we devoured it too quickly for me to get a decent photo (okay, I was too hungry to take time for a pic). I wish I had because it was so pretty, and different. First, the box was a rectangle shape, which was perfect for the oval shaped pizza inside. The Triangle shaped slices were cut from one side to the other, making nice long triangles of goodness. Honestly, I've never seen one shaped or sliced in this was, but I liked it. A lot. I live fairly close to the restaurant (about a mile away), but I did not expect delivery (by Door Dash) to be so quick. About 30 minutes, and this was on a Saturday night! Shout out to the Dovetail/Door Dash team for handing me such a tasty meal! read more

Good basic pie - interesting oval shape. This is a good neighborhood spot with decent selection of drinks, salads, appetizers, and pizza. I like the thin crust. We tried the kale salad, which was fresh, and had nice chunks of avocado. For the pie, we decided to try aged mozzarella, which was a nice twist on a classic margarita. Fast service. read more

I really enjoyed the pizza here. There's a lot of ok pizza in Austin but Dovetail is better than most options out there for sure. We ordered the Meat pizza and the pepperoni pizzas.

Eggplant Parmesan. Really wanted to like this place. I didn't have a pizza, and maybe that's where I went wrong. I had the eggplant parmesan which came as two pieces of eggplant that were probably a fourth of an inch thick with tomato sauce and cheese. $16. A side of spaghetti was an additional $6. Sadly, the eggplant was burnt - black. Hopefully their pizza is amazing. They've offered, I just don't feel a need to go back. The manager did comp the meal, but really, that doesn't change the fact that this was the only item I ordered and it came out burnt. read more

This was an impulse buy. I just wanted some pizza and I was close to 1st street so Yelp said, "hey young buck, I have the perfect spot for you". Called ahead and the pizza was ready by the time I got there. The pull into the driveway comes up quick so watch out for that but the pizza was ready so I was happy. Never seen a pizza cut quite like this and the interior would make an awesome date spot. This is one of those gems you stumble on. read more
