AUSTIN, Texas - It's National Pizza Day and we're celebrating with a new spot off South First in Bouldin Creek.

Dovetail is a neighborhood restaurant offering nostalgic, family-friendly pizzas, salads, pastas, and laid back drinks.

It was created by industry friends behind notable concepts like Salt & Time, Lenoir, Rosen’s Bagels, and more.

Starting with the sauce, the ingredients speak for themselves. The pizzas feature Bianco DiNapoli tomatoes and toppings from Salt & Time.

The pizza style falls between Neapolitan and NY style with a slow fermentation dough. They also feature a unique, oblong shape.

Unlike traditional shredded Parmesan or red pepper flake to sprinkle atop, Dovetail offers guests a housemade chile crisp and a green (herb, vinegar, oil) sauces for a finishing drizzle.
