What people say, in short
Dovetail on South First earns recommendations for its crust and white pies. A diner likes its patio and happy-hour experience, while another recommends it for a pizza outing with outdoor seating. The unconventional slice cutting divides opinion, and a commenter would prefer more cheese. Reports of easy parking or short waits are individual visits, not dependable promises for every evening.
